3DS:Virtual Console/Creation

2025-12-27T15:15:37Z

Aspect X: /* Section II - Choosing Your System */ period

{{hatnote|1=This page is for creating Virtual Console injects. If you're looking to make HOME Menu shortcuts via NDS Forwarder, see [[3DS:DS games|this page]].}}
[[3DS:New Super Ultimate Injector|New Super Ultimate Injector]] (NSUI) is a PC tool used to inject ROMs of various systems into a Virtual Console title. This allows you to launch ROMs that NSUI supports from the HOME Menu, opposed to launching them from an emulator interface.
{{info|At the moment, only Windows computers are supported. Linux (and possibly MacOS) users can attempt to install .NET using Winetricks with [https://gist.github.com/bmaupin/93d31e1b2d738ae656b9d3617e19622b this] guide.}}
==What You Need==

*The beta 28 build of [https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/hxvfg8cwrebi5gxeikokr/Debug.zip?e=3&rlkey=crc9u3oenpvqf5pwnuff166f4&dl=0 NSUI]
*[[3DS:FBI|FBI]] installed on your 3DS
*The latest release of {{GitHub|TheLevelUp/pos-tls-patcher/releases/tag/v1.1.1|pos-tls-patcher}} (needed for image database to work)
==Instructions==

===Section I - Prep Work===
# Power off your 3DS
# Insert your SD Card into your computer
# Launch <code>TlsPatcher-1.1.1.exe</code> and run through the installer
# Launch <code>New Super Ultimate Injector for 3DS.exe</code> from the <code>debug.zip</code>
# Select "Herramientas" near the top left, then select "opciones..."
# Open the drop down menu under "Idioma", then select "English"
# Select "Guardar"
# A prompt will appear, select "Yes". NSUI will restart into English.

===Section II - Choosing Your System===
{{info|Currently supported injects are: NES, FDS, SNES, Game & Watch, GB, GBC, GBA, SG-1000, Master System, Sega Genesis, 32x, Game Gear, Turbografx-16, Atari 2600, Atari 7800, Atari Lynx, Neo Geo Pocket, Neo Geo Pocket Color, Wonderswan, Wonderswan Color, Megnavox Odyssey, and Playstation.}}
# Select "File" -> "New" -> then select the system of the inject you'd like to create
# Select "Project" -> "Load ROM..." -> then select your ROM
#* If an "edit footer banner" prompt pops up, press okay.

===Section III - Optional Configuration===
{{info|If you'd like to export a Virtual Console title now, skip to Section IV.}}
Here you can configure many different settings with your inject like custom icon image, banner, injection method and more. This section will go over some of the basic settings.

====Icon & Banner Image====
# Obtain your image of choice and select "Load image from file" under the "CIA metadata" section or the "CIA banner" section
#*Loading your image into "CIA metadata" will change your icon.
#*Loading your image into "CIA banner" will change your banner.
# Select your <code>.png</code> or <code>.jpg</code> image
#*Experiment with the "Fit image by width" and "Fit image by height" options.

====Injection Method====
{{info| The official Virtual Console injection method is what's recommended when creating injects for official titles. If you're creating an inject for a ROM hack, you may have better performance with a different injection method.}}
{{warning|SNES injects using the official SNES Virtual Console injection method are only compatible with New 3DS models. If you'd like to create SNES injects for an Old 3DS, you must choose the Snes9x injection method.}}
# Open the "Injection Method" drop down menu under the "Content Options" Section
# Select your injection method of choice

====Banner====
# Open the "Create a banner with this style:" drop down menu under the "CIA Banner" section
# Select the banner that interests you most

===Section IV - Exporting the Inject===
# Select "Project" -> "Export CIA..."
# Navigate to your SD card, then open the <code>cias</code> folder
#* If the <code>cias</code> folder doesn't exist, create it.
# Wait for a "CIA exported" pop up
# Eject your SD Card and insert it into your 3DS

===Section V - Installing your inject===
# Power on your 3DS and launch FBI
# Select <code>SD</code>, then open the <code>cias</code> folder
# Select your <code>.cia</code> file, then select "Install and delete CIA"

{{success|Your inject has been succesfully installed!}}

==Troubleshooting==
'''Opening the VC inject gives a blank screen'''

The ROM you used is most likely corrupted. Ensure your ROM is working by testing it in another [[3DS:Emulators|emulator]]. If your ROM is confirmed to be working, try another injection method.

'''White "Exception Occurred" message and stack dump only on the bottom screen upon opening'''

You need [[3DS:LE|locale emulation]] if your console is of a different region than the VC inject you made.

3DS:Luma3DS forks

2025-09-21T01:43:10Z

Aspect X: /* List of Luma3DS forks */ there is now a release

'''Luma3DS forks''' are modifications of the [[3DS:Luma3DS|Luma3DS]] custom firmware. These forks can:
* Add features unavailable in upstream (unmodified) Luma3DS
* Enhance existing features in upstream Luma3DS
* Remove features deemed 'unnecessary' in upstream Luma3DS

{{warning|text=There are some things that you should take note of when using Luma3DS forks:
* They may not always be kept up to date with upstream Luma3DS, so you may miss out on any new features added to Luma3DS.
* If you experience a bug with one of these forks, you must report it to the developer of that fork. '''The developers of Luma3DS are not responsible for any issues or bugs that may occur when using a fork unless the same issue also occurs in upstream Luma3DS.'''
* If you're getting assistance with an issue, you should specify if you are using a Luma3DS fork, as troubleshooting may differ.}}

== Installing a Luma3DS fork ==

{{info|text=These instructions assume you're using boot9strap (as installed in the guide) as opposed to fastboot3DS, where these instructions may not apply depending on your setup.}}

Because boot9strap just boots the file <code>boot.firm</code> on the root of your SD card (or on CTRNAND), you can just place any Luma3DS fork onto the root of your SD card as <code>boot.firm</code>. Your 3DS will automatically boot into it as it did upstream Luma3DS.

# Download your Luma3DS fork of choice
# If necessary, extract it and/or rename the file to <code>boot.firm</code>
# Put your SD card into your computer
# Copy the Luma3DS fork's <code>boot.firm</code> to the root of the SD card, replacing the existing one
# Put your SD card back into your 3DS

{{success|text=Your 3DS is now running a fork of Luma3DS!}}

3DS:DS mode unbrick

2025-08-15T02:28:19Z

Aspect X: /* Section III, Part III - Restoration */ fixed mistake.

{{shortcut|3DS:DSU}}
The DS mode firmware used for backwards compatibility in a 3DS console can be made unusuable by several different things. This page lists the full usual set of troubleshooting steps to fix this issue.

The troubleshooting below should always be started at the first section. The troubleshooting will direct you to other sections as necessary.

__TOC__

== CFW Check ==
First, we will make sure your console has working CFW. This will help as it allows access to several useful homebrew tools, including [[3DS:GodMode9|GodMode9]].

# Power on your console while holding the {{B|SELECT}} button
#* If your console boots to the [[3DS:Luma3DS/Configuration|Luma3DS configuration menu]], press {{B|START}} to save, then continue to the next section
#* If your console doesn't boot to the Luma3DS configuration menu, do the same without the SD card inserted
#** If your console does boot to the Luma3DS configuration menu, your SD card wasn't inserted correctly, re-insert it and try again
#** If your console doesn't boot to the Luma3DS configuration menu, you likely do not have Luma installed, and should [[3dsguide:index|install CFW before continuing]] as all but one of the fixes on this page require it
#*** To make sure of this, hold {{Key press|SELECT|START|X|POWER}} for seven seconds while the console is powered off, then power off again, hold {{B|HOME}}, and then press {{B|POWER}} - if the notification LED [[3DS:boot9strap#LED_Status_Codes|lit up a color]] or the [[3DS:fastboot3DS|fastboot3DS]] menu appears, then you have working CFW but something is interfering with Luma. Join the Nintendo Homebrew Discord for more advanced help
#*** If you do not have CFW and do not want to install it, then this guide cannot help you. You should still install CFW through [[3dsguide:index|a method on the guide]].

== Troubleshooting ==

=== Section I - Prep Work ===

# Follow [[3dsguide:restoring-updating-cfw.html|Restoring / Updating CFW]], then the "Updating GodMode9" and "Creating a NAND backup" sections on [[3DS:GodMode9/Usage]]
#* Keep the NAND backup in your <code>gm9/out</code> folder if you have room, as it will be used if you need to do Section V

=== Section II - TWLFix Triad ===

==== Section II, Part I - Regular TWLFix ====

# Download {{GitHub|MechanicalDragon0687/TWLFix-CFW/releases/download/1.3.1/TWLFix-CFW.3dsx|TWLFix-CFW.3dsx}} (direct download)
# Power off your console and insert your SD card into your computer
# Copy <code>TWLFix-CFW.3dsx</code> into <code>sd:/3ds/</code>
# Reinsert your SD card into your console
# Power on your console
# Launch the '''Homebrew Launcher'''
# Launch ''TWLFix CFW Edition'' from the list of homebrew
# Press {{B|A}} to begin
# When the process is completed, press {{B|START}} to reboot
# '''''REQUIRED:''''' Update your console by opening '''System Settings''' -> '''Other Settings''', then going to the last page and selecting '''System Update'''
#* '''This step MUST be completed even if your console is already on the latest version'''
#* Updates while using B9S + Luma3DS (what you have) are safe
#* If the update gives you an error, go through [[3DS:Troubleshooting#Unable to update console|Unable to update console]]
# After the System Update, attempt to open something that uses DS mode
#* If DS mode still crashes, continue to Part II of this section

==== Section II, Part II - Semi-Manual TWLFix ====

{{warning|If you have installed any DSiWare games/apps, be aware that these will also be removed by CompleteDSiWareUninstaller. If you do not want to have to reinstall them afterward,use a tool such as [[3DS:GodMode9|GodMode9]] or [[3DS:FBI|FBI]] to make individual <code>.cia</code> backups of the apps before starting the below instructions.}}

# Download {{GitHub|fox8091/Complete-DSiWare-Uninstaller/releases/download/1.0.2/CompleteDSiWareUninstaller.3dsx|CompleteDSIWareUninstaller.3dsx}} (direct download)
# Power off your console and insert your SD card into your computer
# Copy <code>CompleteDSiWareUninstaller.3dsx</code> into <code>sd:/3ds/</code>
# Reinsert your SD card into your console
# Power on your console
# Launch the '''Homebrew Launcher'''
# Launch ''Complete DSiWare Uninstaller'' from the list of homebrew
# Press {{B|A}} to begin
# When the process is completed, press {{B|START}} to reboot
# '''''REQUIRED:''''' Update your console by opening '''System Settings''' -> '''Other Settings''', then going to the last page and selecting '''System Update'''
#* '''This step MUST be completed even if your console is already on the latest version'''
#* Updates while using B9S + Luma3DS (what you have) are safe
#* If the update gives you an error, go through [[3DS:Troubleshooting#Unable to update console|Unable to update console]]
# After the System Update, attempt to open something that uses DS mode
#* If DS mode still crashes, continue to Part III of this section
#* If it does ''not'' crash and the issue is fixed, you may reinstall any <code>.cia</code> backups of user apps you made earlier now
#** If reinstalling these backups causes DS mode to start crashing again, the apps in question are corrupt. Redo this section and delete the <code>.cia</code>s

==== Section II, Part III - Manual TWLFix ====

# Power off your console and insert your SD card into your computer
# Install a torrent client such as [https://www.qbittorrent.org/download qBitTorrent] or [https://deluge-torrent.org/download/ Deluge] if you do not already have one
# Using your torrent client, download the four following <code>.cia</code> files from their magnet links:
#* {{Magnet|link=magnet:?xt=urn:btih:4A106681407FEDE5DE95CC8BDA635432481F6B5D|text=TWL Version Data}}
#* {{Magnet|link=magnet:?xt=urn:btih:2B9DF8496922F2546DFB0B01220068CE53C19D3D|text=DS Internet}}

#* {{Magnet|link=magnet:?xt=urn:btih:7B90D506AD032A581A00035616EAA17A68C48EFF|text=Nintendo DS Cart Whitelist}}
# Depending on whether your 3DS is a new model or an old, download '''one''' of these two <code>.cia</code> files from its magnet link:
#* {{Magnet|link=magnet:?xt=urn:btih:EAB8558C97B18B1F329A2BFCC3C899B84C082A27|text=New 3DS TWL_FIRM}}
#* {{Magnet|link=magnet:?xt=urn:btih:17511EADB6E6F3FF22D04F90644E37BD2D96CA43|text=Old 3DS TWL_FIRM}}
#* If you are not sure of your console's model, check how many shoulder buttons it has - a new model has four of them ({{B|L|ZL|ZR|R}}), and an old model only has two {{B|L|R}}
# Move any files currently inside the folder <code>sd:/cias</code> onto your PC (make it if it doesn't exist), then copy the five downloaded <code>.cia</code>s into that folder
# Reinsert your SD card into your console
# Power on your console
# Open FBI and go into the '''Titles''' section
# Wait for all titles to load, and then go to the bottom where titles colored in purple text appear
# Press {{B|A}} and select <code>Delete title and ticket</code> on the following titles:
#* <code>0004800F484E4C41</code> (TWL Version Data)
#* <code>0004800F484E4841</code> (Nintendo DS Cart Whitelist)
#* <code>DS Download Play</code>
#* <code>Nintendo DSi™</code>
#* New 3DS only: <code>0004013820000102</code> (New3DS TWL_FIRM)
#* Old 3DS only: <code>0004013800000102</code> (TWL_FIRM)
# Go back out of '''Titles''', go into '''SDCARD''', and navigate into the <code>cias</code> folder
# Choose the <code><nowiki><current directory></nowiki></code> option and then <code>Install all cias</code> (do '''not''' select <code>Install and delete all cias</code>)
#* If any of the titles give an error during installation, skip them and attempt to install them individually. If they still give an error, ask for help and state the error code
# Go back out of '''SDCARD''' and go into '''Titles''' again
# Wait for all titles to load, and then go to the bottom. Ensure all of the titles you deleted in Step 10 are now present. If they are not, restart again from Step 10
# Exit FBI, then power off your console and power on again
# Attempt to open something that uses DS mode
# If DS mode still crashes, continue to Section III

=== Section III - Bizarre Edge Cases ===

# Power off your console and insert the SD card into your computer
# Open the file <code>sd:/luma/config.ini</code> in a text editor
# Scroll down until you find the variables <code>disable_arm11_exception_handlers</code> and <code>enable_dsi_external_filter</code>
#* These variables should both be set to 0; if either of them are not, set them to 0 now
# Exit the text editor, remove the SD card, and reinsert the SD card into your console
# Power on your console
# Open [[3DS:FBI|'''FBI''']], then go into '''Remote Install''' -> '''Scan QR code'''
# Check whether the camera works, then press {{B|X}} and similarly check the other camera
#* If either camera causes an error or does not produce any output, your camera is likely bricked - this is known to cause DS mode issues. Disconnect the camera's cable ribbon and/or replace the camera entirely to fix this
# Power off the console, then power on again while holding {{B|SELECT}} to access the [[3DS:Luma3DS/Configuration|Luma3DS configuration menu]]
# If either of the following settings are enabled, disable them:
#* <code>Enable loading external FIRMs and modules</code>
#* <code>Enable game patching</code>
# Either press {{B|START}} or select <code>Save and exit</code>, then attempt to open something that uses DS mode
#* If this works, look for and delete faulty patches in <code>sd:/luma/sysmodules</code>, <code>sd:/luma/titles</code>, and <code>sd:/luma/twl_upscaling_filter.bin</code> before turning any of their respective settings back on
# If DS mode still crashes and the camera works, continue to Section IV
#* If the camera does not work, then this is a hardware issue, and this guide will not fix broken hardware. Instead, try disconnecting the camera from the motherboard, then obtain a replacement camera if that does not help

=== Section IV - NVRAM Analysis ===

==== Section IV, Part I - Corruption Check ====

# Open '''System Settings''' -> '''Other Settings''' -> '''Profile''' -> '''Nintendo DS Profile'''
#* If this crashes, continue to Part II of this section
#* If this does not crash, skip to Section V

==== Section IV, Part II - ctrcheck ====

# Follow the instructions on [[3DS:ctrcheck|the ctrcheck page]]
# If you did not get <code>Critical: NVRAM is inaccessible</code>, then reboot after trying all other applicable fixes and continue to Part III of this section

==== Section IV, Part III - Restoration ====

# Follow the instructions on [[3DS:NVRAM|the Fix NVRAM page]]
#* If the DS Profile does not crash after this, attempt to open something that uses DS mode (the DS Profile only uses NVRAM, not DS mode)
#** If DS mode still crashes, continue to Section V

=== Section V - TinyFormat ===

# Power off your console and insert the SD card into your computer
# If your NAND backup from Section I is not already on your SD card, copy it to <code>gm9/out</code> now
# Download {{GitHub|javimadgit/TinyFormat/releases/latest|TinyFormat}} (the <code>.zip</code> that is '''not''' the source code) and extract it
# Copy <code>TinyFormat.3dsx</code> from <code>3ds/TinyFormat</code> inside the zip, and paste it into <code>sd:/3ds</code>
# Reinsert the SD card into your console
# Power on your console
# Go into the '''Homebrew Launcher''', then open <code>TinyFormat.3dsx</code>
# Press {{B|Y}} to start the format
# Your console will eventually load to initial setup - this is intended, and does not mean data has been lost
# Go through initial setup until you reach the HOME Menu
#* If you cannot complete initial setup for some reason, you may be able to bypass it using {{GitHub|zoogie/2DSaver|2DSaver}}
# Attempt to open something that uses DS mode
#* If this still crashes, [[3DS:GodMode9/Usage#Restoring a NAND backup|restore your NAND backup]] and then continue to Section VI

=== Section VI - 3ds_hw_test ===

# Power off your console and insert the SD card into your computer
# Download {{GitHub|aspargas2/3ds_hw_test/releases|3ds_hw_test}} (the <code>3ds_hw_test.firm</code> file)
# Place this file in <code>sd:/luma/payloads</code> on the SD card
# Reinsert the SD card into your console
# Hold {{B|START}}, and while holding {{B|START}} power on the console
# Select <code>3ds_hw_test</code>
# Press any button to start the test
# The test will take up to 45 minutes - when it's done, press any button to turn it off
# The file <code>HWTEST.LOG</code> will have been created on the SD root - open this file in a text editor
#* '''GodMode9''' will work for this, if you do not have a PC with an SD slot available
# Scroll down to the end and look at the number of errors
#* If this number is more than 0, your console's RAM is dying and you need to replace the motherboard

If the above number of errors is zero, you have now exhausted all of the conventional fixes. Go to {{ml|Get support|the Nintendo Homebrew Discord}}, ask for help, and mention that you've tried this page already.

3DS:BAX/makebax

2025-08-12T09:56:36Z

Aspect X: linux is there

{{Page WIP|notes=
* Needs instructions for macOS users
** Note that since the makebax <code>release.zip</code> only provides Windows binaries, these OSes will likely need some form of Wine in their instructions.
* Might need troubleshooting info
}}
'''makebax''' is a command-line utility for converting <code>.IVF</code> video files into <code>.BAX</code> animations to be used with [[3DS:BAX|BAX]] and played on a Nintendo 3DS.

== Creating .BAX Animations ==

=== What You Need ===
* The latest release of {{GitLab|Wolfvak/BAX/-/releases|makebax}} (files vary depending on your OS)
* The latest release of [https://ffmpeg.org/download.html ffmpeg] installed on your computer

=== Instructions ===
====Section I - Installing ffmpeg and makebax====
For FFmpeg:
<tabber>
|-|Windows=


# On the ffmpeg website, click on the Windows icon and then the <code>Windows builds by BtbN</code> option
# On that page, download the file whose name ends with <code>win64-gpl.zip</code>
# Once it's downloaded, extract the file to a folder
# Move the folder to any place of your choosing, but make sure to choose a place where you won't move it again
#*Once you have the folder in the correct place, enter the <code>bin</code> folder inside it. Then, click on the address bar and copy the file path that appears in its place
# Open the Windows search bar and find the Control Panel
# In the Control Panel, click on the search bar and type <code>environment</code>
# Choose the option that says "Edit environment variables for your account"
# In the window that opens, find the option named <code>Path</code>, click on it, and click '''Edit...'''
# In the window that opens, click '''New''', paste the file path you copied earlier, then press Enter and click '''OK'''


|-|macOS=

WIP
|-|Linux=

In a terminal window, use your system's package manager (such as <code>apt</code>, <code>dnf</code> or <code>pacman</code>) while sudo or root to install ffmpeg.
</tabber>
----
For makebax:
<tabber>
|-|Windows=


# Download <code>release.zip</code> from the makebax releases page.
# Extract the <code>release.zip</code> to a folder and move it to any location of your choice

|-|macOS=

WIP
|-|Linux=
# Download <code>release.zip</code> from the makebax releases page.
# Extract the <code>release.zip</code> to a folder (if not done automatically) and move it to any location of your choice, then <code>cd</code> to that location.
# In a terminal window, use your system's package manager (such as <code>apt</code>, <code>dnf</code> or <code>pacman</code>) while sudo or root to install Wine.
</tabber>

====Section II - Converting the video====
# Copy the video you wish to convert into the makebax release folder
# Inside that folder, hold SHIFT and right-click anywhere in the empty space - in the resulting menu, click the option that opens a terminal, Command Prompt, or PowerShell window
# Use ffmpeg to transcode your desired video into IVF format
#* For example, if your video is a file named <code>input.mp4</code>, the command would be <code>ffmpeg -i "input.mp4" -f ivf "converted.ivf"</code>
#* The video must have a resolution of 400x240, 320x240, or 720x240. If it doesn't meet the requirements, instead do <code>ffmpeg -i "input.mp4" -f ivf -vf scale=<WIDTH>:240,fps=<FRAMERATE> "converted.ivf"</code> - <code><WIDTH></code> must be 400, 320 or 720 and <code><FRAMERATE></code> must be a number between 1 and 60.
# Use makebax to convert your <code>.IVF</code> file to a <code>.BAX</code> file
#* When running the command, put the full filename of one of the makebax <code>.EXE</code>s (e.g. <code>makebax-win64.exe</code>) before the command.
#* If you named your converted video <code>converted.ivf</code>, the command would be <code><makebax EXE filename> "converted.ivf" "output.bax"</code> (Linux users need to prefix with <code>wine</code>)
# Copy <code>output.bax</code> to <code>sdmc:/bax/</code> on your console's SD card
{{success|You have created a usable .BAX file. It will be played (chosen at random, if you already had a .BAX file before this) when your 3DS next boots.}}
== Command Line Usage ==
{{info|Put the filename of either makebax <code>.exe</code> before the command, and make sure you're running this from inside the makebax release folder.}}
<code><makebax EXE filename> "/path/to/input.ivf" "/path/to/output.bax" [-s n] [-c l] [-b back_color] [-a "Author"] [-i "Info"]</code>

Parameters enclosed in <code>[ ]</code> are optional.

* <code>input.ivf</code> is the input IVF file path, the size must have a resolution of either 400x240 (top screen only), 320x240 (bottom screen only) or 720x240 (both screens side-by-side). Input must be an IVF container with a VP8/VP9 stream.
* <code>output.bax</code> is the path to the BAX file that will be created.
* <code>s</code> sets the block size. n is the number of frames that are processed per iteration. The higher the number, the more memory is used on runtime (and the less often disk accesses are required). Defaults to 48.
* <code>c</code> sets the compression level. Should be between 1 (lowest) and 16 (highest). Defaults to 6.
* <code>b</code> sets the background color. <code>bg_color</code> should be the 16-bit integer representation of an RGB565 color. Defaults to zero (black). Refer to [http://www.barth-dev.de/online/rgb565-color-picker/ this site] for more information.
* <code>a</code> sets the Author string. It doesn't affect the player at all, but it's nice to include some metadata. Maximum length is 32 ASCII characters (or as much UTF-8 fits in there).
* <code>i</code> is the same as above but for Information. Maximum length is 192 ASCII characters.

== Notes ==
* [https://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php/IVF IVF] is a simple container for VP8/VP9 streams, unable to contain more than one stream. It was chosen as the input format due to it being both simple and straightforward to work with.
* Although it should be compatible with big endian platforms (PowerPC, Microblaze, etc) this has not been properly tested yet. Please report any issues regarding compilation/usage on big endian platforms.
* While having libav* support would be ideal, it's less than fit due to it's programming complexity (easy to make mistakes with) and labyrinth of dependencies (requires X11 libs, so it's unusable from servers, f.e.).
* For best performance, the block size should be an integer multiple of the number of available hardware threads (logical processors). This is why the default block size is 48: it's a multiple of the most common PO2 and MO6 multithread setups.
* BAX files should not surpass the 32MiB mark. makebax doesn't enforce this limit, but BAX does.

'''Luma3DS''' is a [[custom firmware]]. It is the only one in active development for the 3DS.

==Installation== 


This is the main custom firmware when using [[3dsguide:index|3DS Hacks Guide]]. To update, follow the steps on [[3dsguide:restoring-updating-cfw|Restoring / Updating CFW]].

== Features == 
</translate>
<translate> * Automatic patches that remove Nintendo restrictions, such as:</translate>
<translate> ** Region locking, allowing you to run out-of-region cartridges and titles</translate>
<translate> ** Signature checks, allowing homebrew to run from HOME Menu</translate>
<translate> ** The flashcart block list, allowing you to run blocked DS flashcarts</translate>
<translate> * A "Rosalina menu" accessible from anywhere within 3DS mode with many of its own functions, such as:</translate>
<translate> ** Cheat support</translate>
<translate> ** Plugin loading</translate>
<translate> ** Taking screenshots</translate>
<translate> ** Input redirection</translate>
<translate> ** Blue light filter</translate>
<translate> * LayeredFS support, allowing you to replace individual game files with modded versions on-the-fly</translate>
<translate> * FIRM write protection, preventing boot9strap from being overwritten with system updates</translate>
<translate> ** This does not mean that system updates will always be immediately "safe"; from time to time, something changes in the system firmware that requires a Luma3DS update</translate>
<translate> * A chainloader that can boot <code>.firm</code> payloads located in the <code>/luma/payloads/</code> folder. It is accessible either by holding START on boot or by selecting the "Boot chainloader" option from the Luma3DS configuration menu</translate>
<translate> ** If only one payload is inside the <code>/luma/payloads/</code> folder, running the chainloader will automatically boot that payload</translate>
<translate> ** Before Luma3DS 7.1, <code>.bin</code> payloads were supported instead of <code>.firm</code> payloads</translate>
<translate>
== Usage ==

3DS:Luma3DS forks

2025-08-08T06:55:34Z

Aspect X: /* List of Luma3DS forks */ added that its incompatible with ctgp 7

'''Luma3DS forks''' are modifications of the [[3DS:Luma3DS|Luma3DS]] custom firmware. These forks can:
* Add features unavailable in upstream (unmodified) Luma3DS
* Enhance existing features in upstream Luma3DS
* Remove features deemed 'unnecessary' in upstream Luma3DS

{{warning|text=There are some things that you should take note of when using Luma3DS forks:
* They may not always be kept up to date with upstream Luma3DS, so you may miss out on any new features added to Luma3DS.
* If you experience a bug with one of these forks, you must report it to the developer of that fork. '''The developers of Luma3DS are not responsible for any issues or bugs that may occur when using a fork unless the same issue also occurs in upstream Luma3DS.'''
* If you're getting assistance with an issue, you should specify if you are using a Luma3DS fork, as troubleshooting may differ.}}

== Installing a Luma3DS fork ==

{{info|text=These instructions assume you're using boot9strap (as installed in the guide) as opposed to fastboot3DS, where these instructions may not apply depending on your setup.}}

Because boot9strap just boots the file <code>boot.firm</code> on the root of your SD card (or on CTRNAND), you can just place any Luma3DS fork onto the root of your SD card as <code>boot.firm</code>. Your 3DS will automatically boot into it as it did upstream Luma3DS.

# Download your Luma3DS fork of choice
# If necessary, extract it and/or rename the file to <code>boot.firm</code>
# Put your SD card into your computer
# Copy the Luma3DS fork's <code>boot.firm</code> to the root of the SD card, replacing the existing one
# Put your SD card back into your 3DS

{{success|text=Your 3DS is now running a fork of Luma3DS!}}

3DS:Luma3DS forks

2025-08-08T06:52:28Z

Aspect X: /* List of Luma3DS forks */ bump versions

'''Luma3DS forks''' are modifications of the [[3DS:Luma3DS|Luma3DS]] custom firmware. These forks can:
* Add features unavailable in upstream (unmodified) Luma3DS
* Enhance existing features in upstream Luma3DS
* Remove features deemed 'unnecessary' in upstream Luma3DS

{{warning|text=There are some things that you should take note of when using Luma3DS forks:
* They may not always be kept up to date with upstream Luma3DS, so you may miss out on any new features added to Luma3DS.
* If you experience a bug with one of these forks, you must report it to the developer of that fork. '''The developers of Luma3DS are not responsible for any issues or bugs that may occur when using a fork unless the same issue also occurs in upstream Luma3DS.'''
* If you're getting assistance with an issue, you should specify if you are using a Luma3DS fork, as troubleshooting may differ.}}

== Installing a Luma3DS fork ==

{{info|text=These instructions assume you're using boot9strap (as installed in the guide) as opposed to fastboot3DS, where these instructions may not apply depending on your setup.}}

Because boot9strap just boots the file <code>boot.firm</code> on the root of your SD card (or on CTRNAND), you can just place any Luma3DS fork onto the root of your SD card as <code>boot.firm</code>. Your 3DS will automatically boot into it as it did upstream Luma3DS.

# Download your Luma3DS fork of choice
# If necessary, extract it and/or rename the file to <code>boot.firm</code>
# Put your SD card into your computer
# Copy the Luma3DS fork's <code>boot.firm</code> to the root of the SD card, replacing the existing one
# Put your SD card back into your 3DS

3DS:Fixing corrupted games

2025-08-07T22:29:53Z

Aspect X: /* Cartridge fix */ grammar

{{shortcut|3DS:Gamefix|3DS:FCG}}
Is your game crashing or experiencing some kind of unintended effect? If so, this page may be able to help you fix your game.

{{Info|text=Before starting, you should backup your save with [[Checkpoint]] in case something unintentional happens. '''We are not responsible for any data loss that may occur.'''}}

==Error Code: <code>d900458?</code>==

<code>?</code> is a wildcard and can refer to any character, this error indicates there is some sort of corruption with the game or its save data.

Links to uninstalling and reinstalling software can be found here: [[3DS:Uninstalling software]] | [[3DS:Installing software]]

#The first thing you should try is uninstalling then reinstalling any Update data for the game
#If this does not work, try uninstalling and reinstalling any DLCs for the game

===Cartridge===

{{Warning|text=It is not advisable to blow into the cartridge slot or on the cartridge directly with your breath. The moisture in your breath will cause rust to form, damaging the pins.}}

Before anything, try cleaning the contacts of your cartridge with a microfiber cloth and 99% Isopropyl alcohol. '''Do not use water.'''

If available, also try using compressed air in the cartridge slot to blow out any debris. This ensures the pins are not covered in any dirt or grime.

#Install the game to your SD card with [[3DS:Dump_titles_and_game_cartridges#Installing_a_game_cartridge_directly_to_the_system|GodMode9]]
#If the install succeeds, launch the game
#*If the game launches, then restore your save using [[Checkpoint]]
#*If the game crashes after restoring your save, your save is corrupted
#**You can try deleting the save from your cartridge, as it may make your cartridge work again
#**If you are unable to delete the cartridge save in-game, then use JKSM or FBI to delete it
#**If the cartridge still does not work, then delete the save from the SD card version
#If the installed version did not work or the install failed, your cartridge is likely corrupted
#*You can try the Cartridge fix section below to repair corruption
#*If that worked, you should [[3DS:Dump_titles_and_game_cartridges#Installing_a_game_cartridge_directly_to_the_system|install the game with GodMode9]] as the cartridge may be unstable

===Digital===

If the game crashes right when you enter it, try importing the seed with FBI:

#Navigate to <code>Titles</code> -> <code>(game name)</code>
#Select <code>Import Seed</code>

If that doesn't help, remove the save and fix potential game corruption by re-installing the game:

#Back-up your save using [[Checkpoint]]
#[[3DS:Uninstalling software|Uninstall the game]]
#[[3DS:Installing software|Re-install the game]]

If the game no longer crashes, restore the save with Checkpoint. If it starts crashing again, you have to redo the process and start a new save.

==Cartridge fix==
{{warning|text=This has no guarantee of working, and may make issues significantly worse. Only use this if you are absolutely certain the issue is with your cartridge.}}
{{warning|This process can take anywhere from minutes to several hours or more. How long it takes depends on how corrupted it is.}}

Download the [https://github.com/skawo/GodMode9-with-Cartridge-Fixer/releases/download/1.4/GodMode9_Refresh_1.4.firm GodMode9 Cartridge Fixer] fork by skawo and place <code>GodMode9_Refresh_1.4.firm</code> in <code>luma/payloads/</code>
#Insert the cartridge into your console, then power on your console while holding {{B|START}}
#Select <code>GodMode9_Refresh_1.4</code> from the list
#When GodMode9 loads, select <code>[C:] GAMECART</code>
#Select the file that ends in <code>.3ds</code> (not <code>.trim.3ds</code>)
#Select <code>NCSD image options...</code> then <code>Verify file</code>
#*If the Verify fails, continue with this guide
#*If the Verify succeeds, then you should '''stop''' following this guide, as your issue is not from cartridge corruption
#Select the file that ends in <code>.3ds</code> (not <code>.trim.3ds</code>)
#Select <code>NCSD image options...</code> then <code>Fix cartridge corruption</code>
#*You will know that it is working if the <code>Current Hash</code> value is changing
#When the cart fixer finishes, repeat steps 4 and 5 to verify the cartridge. It may take several tries to completely fix a cartridge

If this does not fix your cartridge, then your cartridge is most likely unfixable and will need to be replaced.

3DS:Virtual Console/Creation

2025-08-03T08:58:02Z

Aspect X: added category

{{hatnote|1=This page is for creating Virtual Console injects. If you're looking to make HOME Menu shortcuts via NDS Forwarder, see [[3DS:DS games|this page]].}}
[[3DS:New Super Ultimate Injector|New Super Ultimate Injector]] (NSUI) is a PC tool used to inject ROMs of various systems into a Virtual Console title. This allows you to launch ROMs that NSUI supports from the HOME Menu, opposed to launching them from an emulator interface.
{{info|At the moment, only Windows computers are supported. Linux (and possibly MacOS) users can attempt to install .NET using Winetricks with [https://gist.github.com/bmaupin/93d31e1b2d738ae656b9d3617e19622b this] guide.}}
==What You Need==

*The beta 28 build of [https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/hxvfg8cwrebi5gxeikokr/Debug.zip?e=3&rlkey=crc9u3oenpvqf5pwnuff166f4&dl=0 NSUI]
*[[3DS:FBI|FBI]] installed on your 3DS
*The latest release of {{GitHub|TheLevelUp/pos-tls-patcher/releases/tag/v1.1.1|pos-tls-patcher}} (needed for image database to work)
==Instructions==

===Section I - Prep Work===
# Power off your 3DS
# Insert your SD Card into your computer
# Launch <code>TlsPatcher-1.1.1.exe</code> and run through the installer
# Launch <code>New Super Ultimate Injector for 3DS.exe</code> from the <code>debug.zip</code>
# Select "Herramientas" near the top left, then select "opciones..."
# Open the drop down menu under "Idioma", then select "English"
# Select "Guardar"
# A prompt will appear, select "Yes". NSUI will restart into English.

===Section II - Choosing Your System===
{{info|Currently supported injects are: NES, FDS, SNES, Game & Watch, GB, GBC, GBA, SG-1000, Master System, Sega Genesis, 32x, Game Gear, Turbografx-16, Atari 2600, Atari 7800, Atari Lynx, Neo Geo Pocket, Neo Geo Pocket Color, Wonderswan, Wonderswan Color, Megnavox Odyssey, and Playstation}}
# Select "File" -> "New" -> then select the system of the inject you'd like to create
# Select "Project" -> "Load ROM..." -> then select your ROM
#* If an "edit footer banner" prompt pops up, press okay.

===Section III - Optional Configuration===
{{info|If you'd like to export a Virtual Console title now, skip to Section IV.}}
Here you can configure many different settings with your inject like custom icon image, banner, injection method and more. This section will go over some of the basic settings.

====Icon & Banner Image====
# Obtain your image of choice and select "Load image from file" under the "CIA metadata" section or the "CIA banner" section
#*Loading your image into "CIA metadata" will change your icon.
#*Loading your image into "CIA banner" will change your banner.
# Select your <code>.png</code> or <code>.jpg</code> image
#*Experiment with the "Fit image by width" and "Fit image by height" options.

====Injection Method====
{{info| The official Virtual Console injection method is what's recommended when creating injects for official titles. If you're creating an inject for a ROM hack, you may have better performance with a different injection method.}}
{{warning|SNES injects using the official SNES Virtual Console injection method are only compatible with New 3DS models. If you'd like to create SNES injects for an Old 3DS, you must choose the Snes9x injection method.}}
# Open the "Injection Method" drop down menu under the "Content Options" Section
# Select your injection method of choice

====Banner====
# Open the "Create a banner with this style:" drop down menu under the "CIA Banner" section
# Select the banner that interests you most

===Section IV - Exporting the Inject===
# Select "Project" -> "Export CIA..."
# Navigate to your SD card, then open the <code>cias</code> folder
#* If the <code>cias</code> folder doesn't exist, create it.
# Wait for a "CIA exported" pop up
# Eject your SD Card and insert it into your 3DS

===Section V - Installing your inject===
# Power on your 3DS and launch FBI
# Select <code>SD</code>, then open the <code>cias</code> folder
# Select your <code>.cia</code> file, then select "Install and delete CIA"

{{success|Your inject has been succesfully installed!}}

==Troubleshooting==
'''Opening the VC inject gives a blank screen'''

The ROM you used is most likely corrupted. Ensure your ROM is working by testing it in another [[3DS:Emulators|emulator]]. If your ROM is confirmed to be working, try another injection method.

'''White "Exception Occurred" message and stack dump only on the bottom screen upon opening'''

You need [[3DS:LE|locale emulation]] if your console is of a different region than the VC inject you made.

Hacks Guide Wiki:To-do list

2025-08-03T00:03:44Z

Aspect X: /* General concepts */ done

{{shortcut|HGW:TTD|HGW:TODO}}{{TOC right}}This is where we can keep a list of things that should be done, such as pages that need creating or adding to.

{{ombox|text=For organizational purposes, please mark items based on their status (and link them if applicable):
* {{Done}} <code>{{tl|Done}}</code>
* {{WIP}} <code>{{tl|WIP}}</code>
* {{Skip}} <code>{{tl|Skip}}</code>}}

== Pages ==

=== Organization ===

Once this wiki has "enough content" (whatever that means), before we can start advertising it publicly, we need better page organzation.

* Index/contents pages? Generally anything someone might want or need to do with hacks. Save backup and restore, transfers, troubleshooting, informational pages, etc. Similar to [[3DS:Things to do]] but that one is more like "here's a list of cool things you can do".

=== Main Page ===

A nice [[Main Page]] should be made. It should include a simple explanation of what homebrew is, then links to the main guides, the "Things to do" pages, and maybe troubleshooting.

A search box could be put here too.

<pre><nowiki>
<inputbox>
type=search
placeholder=Placeholder text here...
width=70
</inputbox>
</nowiki></pre>

=== Console introductions ===

These pages should be like an all-around intro to things about hacking a console. Links to guides on getting hacks set up, links to the "things to do", maybe troubleshooting for when things go wrong...

I'm not sure how necessary these pages are though, if there isn't enough stuff that can't also go on the "Things to do" pages. [[User:Ihaveahax|ihaveahax]] ([[User talk:Ihaveahax|talk]]) 02:52, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
: In my opinion they should be the main hub for everything related to the console itself with quick and easy access/links to the most important articles and console related help pages. Could also include highlights from the "things to do" page or apps '''-[[User:zsotroav|zsotroav]]''' ''([[User_talk:zsotroav|Cantact me here!]])'' @ 18:34, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

* [[Nintendo 3DS]]
* [[Wii U]]
* [[Nintendo Switch]]

=== "Things to do" pages ===

A simple page that someone new to homebrew/cfw can use to start doing something with their newly-hacked console.

* [[3DS:Things to do]]
* [[Wii U:Things to do]]
* {{WIP}} [[Switch:Things to do]]
* [[Wii:Things to do]]

=== Game pages ===

I think we should have pages for individual games with lists of mods, save editors, guides, and maybe other things.

I just picked a random assortment of some popular games. Any game with a mod, save editor, useful hacking guide, etc. can have its own page!

== Translations==

The pages being moved from 3ds.hacks.guide or wiiu.hacks.guide might have translations that need to be brought over.

Also pages on how to translate stuff on this wiki need to be made too.

==Technical ==

*Create lots of redirect pages. Someone will probably search things like "Pokemon x" or "Fix black screen" so we should create those pages that point to the right place. This needs some automation too.
**[[Special:BulkPageCreate]], {{gh|ihaveamac/mediawiki-extensions-BulkPageCreate}}
* Make it more obvious that a revision other than the main one is being viewed. Preferably with a MediaWiki hook but JS will probably do.

== Project pages ==

* Create a page about how game pages should be designed.
** [[Hacks Guide Wiki:Game pages]]
* Create a game template page, so anyone who wants to make a page for a specific game knows where to start.
** [[Hacks Guide Wiki:Game pages/Template]] (maybe even make it a preload-able template?)
* A manual of style for guides, information pages, game pages (though that one already kinda exists).

3DS:Game plugins/3GX

2025-08-02T23:59:12Z

Aspect X: page complete

{{shortcut|3DS:3GX|3GX}}
The 3GX file format is an evolution of the old PLG file format that is used in newer game plugins. You can use them via Luma3DS's built-in plugin loader.

== Installation ==

<tabber>
|-|Universal-Updater=
==== What you need ====

* [[3DS:Universal-Updater|Universal-Updater]]

==== Installation ====

# Power on your console
# Launch '''Universal-Updater''' from the HOME Menu, or from the Homebrew Launcher
# Select the magnifying glass on the bottom screen, then search for '''Luma3DS'''
# Press {{B|A}} while hovering over '''Luma3DS''' from the list of homebrew
# Choose <code>boot.firm</code> and wait for the install to finish
# Reboot your console
# If you see the Luma3DS configuration menu, enable any options that you need, then press Start
#* Hint: If you don't know what the options are, you don't need them

|-|Manually=

==== What you need ====

* The latest release of [https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases/latest Luma3DS] (the Luma3DS <code>.zip</code> file)

==== Installation ====

# Insert your SD card into your computer
# Copy <code>boot.firm</code> from the Luma3DS <code>.zip</code> to the root of your SD card, replacing <code>boot.firm</code> if it is already there
# Reinsert your SD card into your console and power on
# If you see the Luma3DS configuration menu, enable any options that you need, then press Start
#* Hint: If you don't know what the options are, you don't need them

</tabber>

== Using 3GX plugins ==

=== Plugin location ===
The 3GX plugin loader will look for plugins in the <code>luma</code> -> <code>plugins</code> directory. Each plugin must be inside a folder named with the game's Title ID. Inside the folder, place your <code>.3gx</code> file.
* You can get the game's title ID from [http://3dsdb.com/ here] (cartridges), [https://hax0kartik.github.io/3dsdb/ here] (digital games), or from the <code>FBI -> Titles</code> menu. For example, Taiko no Tatsujin: Dokodon! Mystery Adventure's title ID is <code>0004000000190E00</code>, so if you wanted to use a plugin for that game, you'd create a folder named <code>0004000000190E00</code>
* The creator of the plugin may have already created a folder with the correct name for you, in which case you can just copy the title ID folder from the plugin's zip/rar/7z archive to the <code>plugins</code> folder
* If you want the plugin to run for ''all'' games (for example, for the CTRPluginFramework blank plugin), rename the plugin to <code>default.3gx</code> and just leave it in the <code>plugins</code> folder

An example directory for a plugin affecting one game would be <code>luma</code> -> <code>plugins</code> -> <code>0004000000190E00</code> -> <code>plugin.3gx</code>.

An example directory for a plugin affecting all games would be <code>luma</code> -> <code>plugins</code> -> <code>default.3gx</code>.

=== Launching 3GX plugins ===

# Open the Rosalina menu ({{B|Left Shoulder|D-Pad Down|SELECT}} by default)
# Scroll down to the plugin loader option, then press {{B|A}} to enable it
# Press {{B|B}} to exit the Rosalina menu
# Open your game of choice
#* The screen should flash another color to indicate that the plugin has successfully loaded
# Look at the information on the plugin's webpage/README for usage instructions - usage will differ for each plugin

=== Usage notes ===
* Most plugins have a menu that can be opened by pressing {{B|SELECT}} while the plugin is loaded

Hacks Guide Wiki:To-do list

2025-08-02T23:53:54Z

Aspect X: /* Guides */ done

{{shortcut|HGW:TTD|HGW:TODO}}{{TOC right}}This is where we can keep a list of things that should be done, such as pages that need creating or adding to.

{{ombox|text=For organizational purposes, please mark items based on their status (and link them if applicable):
* {{Done}} <code>{{tl|Done}}</code>
* {{WIP}} <code>{{tl|WIP}}</code>
* {{Skip}} <code>{{tl|Skip}}</code>}}

== Pages ==

=== Organization ===

Once this wiki has "enough content" (whatever that means), before we can start advertising it publicly, we need better page organzation.

* Index/contents pages? Generally anything someone might want or need to do with hacks. Save backup and restore, transfers, troubleshooting, informational pages, etc. Similar to [[3DS:Things to do]] but that one is more like "here's a list of cool things you can do".

=== Main Page ===

A nice [[Main Page]] should be made. It should include a simple explanation of what homebrew is, then links to the main guides, the "Things to do" pages, and maybe troubleshooting.

A search box could be put here too.

<pre><nowiki>
<inputbox>
type=search
placeholder=Placeholder text here...
width=70
</inputbox>
</nowiki></pre>

=== Console introductions ===

These pages should be like an all-around intro to things about hacking a console. Links to guides on getting hacks set up, links to the "things to do", maybe troubleshooting for when things go wrong...

I'm not sure how necessary these pages are though, if there isn't enough stuff that can't also go on the "Things to do" pages. [[User:Ihaveahax|ihaveahax]] ([[User talk:Ihaveahax|talk]]) 02:52, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
: In my opinion they should be the main hub for everything related to the console itself with quick and easy access/links to the most important articles and console related help pages. Could also include highlights from the "things to do" page or apps '''-[[User:zsotroav|zsotroav]]''' ''([[User_talk:zsotroav|Cantact me here!]])'' @ 18:34, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

* [[Nintendo 3DS]]
* [[Wii U]]
* [[Nintendo Switch]]

=== "Things to do" pages ===

A simple page that someone new to homebrew/cfw can use to start doing something with their newly-hacked console.

* [[3DS:Things to do]]
* [[Wii U:Things to do]]
* {{WIP}} [[Switch:Things to do]]
* [[Wii:Things to do]]

=== Game pages ===

I think we should have pages for individual games with lists of mods, save editors, guides, and maybe other things.

I just picked a random assortment of some popular games. Any game with a mod, save editor, useful hacking guide, etc. can have its own page!

Hacks Guide Wiki:To-do list

2025-08-02T23:53:24Z

Aspect X: /* Guides */ done

{{shortcut|HGW:TTD|HGW:TODO}}{{TOC right}}This is where we can keep a list of things that should be done, such as pages that need creating or adding to.

{{ombox|text=For organizational purposes, please mark items based on their status (and link them if applicable):
* {{Done}} <code>{{tl|Done}}</code>
* {{WIP}} <code>{{tl|WIP}}</code>
* {{Skip}} <code>{{tl|Skip}}</code>}}

== Pages ==

=== Organization ===

Once this wiki has "enough content" (whatever that means), before we can start advertising it publicly, we need better page organzation.

* Index/contents pages? Generally anything someone might want or need to do with hacks. Save backup and restore, transfers, troubleshooting, informational pages, etc. Similar to [[3DS:Things to do]] but that one is more like "here's a list of cool things you can do".

=== Main Page ===

A nice [[Main Page]] should be made. It should include a simple explanation of what homebrew is, then links to the main guides, the "Things to do" pages, and maybe troubleshooting.

A search box could be put here too.

<pre><nowiki>
<inputbox>
type=search
placeholder=Placeholder text here...
width=70
</inputbox>
</nowiki></pre>

=== Console introductions ===

These pages should be like an all-around intro to things about hacking a console. Links to guides on getting hacks set up, links to the "things to do", maybe troubleshooting for when things go wrong...

I'm not sure how necessary these pages are though, if there isn't enough stuff that can't also go on the "Things to do" pages. [[User:Ihaveahax|ihaveahax]] ([[User talk:Ihaveahax|talk]]) 02:52, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
: In my opinion they should be the main hub for everything related to the console itself with quick and easy access/links to the most important articles and console related help pages. Could also include highlights from the "things to do" page or apps '''-[[User:zsotroav|zsotroav]]''' ''([[User_talk:zsotroav|Cantact me here!]])'' @ 18:34, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

* [[Nintendo 3DS]]
* [[Wii U]]
* [[Nintendo Switch]]

=== "Things to do" pages ===

A simple page that someone new to homebrew/cfw can use to start doing something with their newly-hacked console.

* [[3DS:Things to do]]
* [[Wii U:Things to do]]
* {{WIP}} [[Switch:Things to do]]
* [[Wii:Things to do]]

=== Game pages ===

I think we should have pages for individual games with lists of mods, save editors, guides, and maybe other things.

I just picked a random assortment of some popular games. Any game with a mod, save editor, useful hacking guide, etc. can have its own page!

Hacks Guide Wiki:To-do list

2025-08-02T23:52:16Z

Aspect X: /* Guides */ done

{{shortcut|HGW:TTD|HGW:TODO}}{{TOC right}}This is where we can keep a list of things that should be done, such as pages that need creating or adding to.

{{ombox|text=For organizational purposes, please mark items based on their status (and link them if applicable):
* {{Done}} <code>{{tl|Done}}</code>
* {{WIP}} <code>{{tl|WIP}}</code>
* {{Skip}} <code>{{tl|Skip}}</code>}}

== Pages ==

=== Organization ===

Once this wiki has "enough content" (whatever that means), before we can start advertising it publicly, we need better page organzation.

* Index/contents pages? Generally anything someone might want or need to do with hacks. Save backup and restore, transfers, troubleshooting, informational pages, etc. Similar to [[3DS:Things to do]] but that one is more like "here's a list of cool things you can do".

=== Main Page ===

A nice [[Main Page]] should be made. It should include a simple explanation of what homebrew is, then links to the main guides, the "Things to do" pages, and maybe troubleshooting.

A search box could be put here too.

<pre><nowiki>
<inputbox>
type=search
placeholder=Placeholder text here...
width=70
</inputbox>
</nowiki></pre>

=== Console introductions ===

These pages should be like an all-around intro to things about hacking a console. Links to guides on getting hacks set up, links to the "things to do", maybe troubleshooting for when things go wrong...

I'm not sure how necessary these pages are though, if there isn't enough stuff that can't also go on the "Things to do" pages. [[User:Ihaveahax|ihaveahax]] ([[User talk:Ihaveahax|talk]]) 02:52, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
: In my opinion they should be the main hub for everything related to the console itself with quick and easy access/links to the most important articles and console related help pages. Could also include highlights from the "things to do" page or apps '''-[[User:zsotroav|zsotroav]]''' ''([[User_talk:zsotroav|Cantact me here!]])'' @ 18:34, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

* [[Nintendo 3DS]]

=== "Things to do" pages ===

A simple page that someone new to homebrew/cfw can use to start doing something with their newly-hacked console.

* [[3DS:Things to do]]
* [[Wii U:Things to do]]
* {{WIP}} [[Switch:Things to do]]
* [[Wii:Things to do]]

=== Game pages ===

I think we should have pages for individual games with lists of mods, save editors, guides, and maybe other things.

I just picked a random assortment of some popular games. Any game with a mod, save editor, useful hacking guide, etc. can have its own page!

Hacks Guide Wiki:To-do list

2025-08-02T22:42:52Z

Aspect X: /* Game pages */ Added a couple games I'd like to do

{{shortcut|HGW:TTD|HGW:TODO}}{{TOC right}}This is where we can keep a list of things that should be done, such as pages that need creating or adding to.

{{ombox|text=For organizational purposes, please mark items based on their status (and link them if applicable):
* {{Done}} <code>{{tl|Done}}</code>
* {{WIP}} <code>{{tl|WIP}}</code>
* {{Skip}} <code>{{tl|Skip}}</code>}}

== Pages ==

=== Organization ===

Once this wiki has "enough content" (whatever that means), before we can start advertising it publicly, we need better page organzation.

* Index/contents pages? Generally anything someone might want or need to do with hacks. Save backup and restore, transfers, troubleshooting, informational pages, etc. Similar to [[3DS:Things to do]] but that one is more like "here's a list of cool things you can do".

=== Main Page ===

A nice [[Main Page]] should be made. It should include a simple explanation of what homebrew is, then links to the main guides, the "Things to do" pages, and maybe troubleshooting.

A search box could be put here too.

<pre><nowiki>
<inputbox>
type=search
placeholder=Placeholder text here...
width=70
</inputbox>
</nowiki></pre>

=== Console introductions ===

These pages should be like an all-around intro to things about hacking a console. Links to guides on getting hacks set up, links to the "things to do", maybe troubleshooting for when things go wrong...

I'm not sure how necessary these pages are though, if there isn't enough stuff that can't also go on the "Things to do" pages. [[User:Ihaveahax|ihaveahax]] ([[User talk:Ihaveahax|talk]]) 02:52, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
: In my opinion they should be the main hub for everything related to the console itself with quick and easy access/links to the most important articles and console related help pages. Could also include highlights from the "things to do" page or apps '''-[[User:zsotroav|zsotroav]]''' ''([[User_talk:zsotroav|Cantact me here!]])'' @ 18:34, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

* [[Nintendo 3DS]]
* [[Wii U]]
* [[Nintendo Switch]]

=== "Things to do" pages ===

A simple page that someone new to homebrew/cfw can use to start doing something with their newly-hacked console.

* [[3DS:Things to do]]
* [[Wii U:Things to do]]
* {{WIP}} [[Switch:Things to do]]
* [[Wii:Things to do]]

=== Game pages ===

I think we should have pages for individual games with lists of mods, save editors, guides, and maybe other things.

I just picked a random assortment of some popular games. Any game with a mod, save editor, useful hacking guide, etc. can have its own page!

* [[3DS:Animal Crossing: New Leaf]]
* [[3DS:Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]
* [[3DS:Pokémon X and Y]]
* [[3DS:Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]
* [[3DS:Pokémon Sun and Moon]]
* [[3DS:Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]
* [[3DS:Mario Kart 7]]
* [[3DS:Team Kirby Clash Deluxe]]
* [[3DS:Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate]]
* [[Wii U:Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]
* [[Wii U:Mario Kart 8]]
* [[Switch:Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]

=== Guides ===

Any sort of guides that could be useful, game-specific or not.

* [[Formatting an SD card/Windows]]
* [[Formatting an SD card/Mac]]
* [[Formatting an SD card/Linux]]
* <s>[[Formatting an SD card/ChromeOS]] (may be useful since i've seen the occasional chromebook user in NH and r/3DS --[[User:Ihaveahax|ihaveahax]] ([[User talk:Ihaveahax|talk]]) 11:15, 31 October 2022 (UTC))</s> Formatting with ChromeOS results in a card that consoles (at least the 3DS) don't like. [[User:Ihaveahax|ihaveahax]] ([[User talk:Ihaveahax|talk]]) 05:35, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
* [[3DS:Keyboard Unbrick]]
* [[3DS:Export saves]]
* [[3DS:System Transfer]]
** {{WIP}} [[3DS:System Transfer/Target has CFW]]
** {{WIP}} [[3DS:System Transfer/Target is stock]]
** {{WIP}} [[3DS:System Transfer/Manual]] (to copy over all the files manually, and maybe also NNID/eShop)
* [[3DS:GBA games]]
* [[3DS:Setting game locales]]
* [[3DS:Remove outlines in Pokémon games]]
* [[3DS:Virtual Console]]

=== Move from main guides ===

Some pages could be moved from the main guides to here.

Don't actually delete these from the main guide until we think this site is ready.

* [[switchguide:extras/cheats]] [[Switch:Cheats]] - {{Done}} (could say where/how to get cheat files ie what to put in buildid.txt?)

=== Move from pins in NH channels ===

A lot of useful stuff is probably stored in pins in the NH server. Those should be put here for ease of access.

* [[Switch:Transferring_Saves]] {{Done}} Transferring save data from emuMMC to sysMMC
* [[Switch:Gamecard Reader]] {{Done}} Gamecard reader firmware info page
* [[Switch:zadig]] Manually install libusbk for TegraRCMGui

=== Move from Kurisu commands ===

Some stuff that's currently in {{gh|nh-server/Kurisu}} could also be put here. Look inside {{gh|nh-server/Kurisu/tree/main/cogs/assistance-cmds|assistance-cmds}}. Like in the next section, any external guides probably could not just be copied here since we may not have permission to do that.

* Checking 3DS local IP
** [[3DS:Check local IP address]] {{Done}}
* Moving to a new SD card
** [[3DS:Moving SD Cards]] {{Done}}
* [[Wii_U:VC_Extract]] {{done}}
* [[Switch:exFAT]] - {{Done}}
* Error codes
** [[3DS:Error codes]] {{WIP}} (there's a few codes this has that Kurisu doesn't, but quite a few Kurisu does but this doesn't. we might be best off pulling from Kurisu's codebase for most of the remainder, marking as done, and just adding any others we find at will? [[User:StarlitSkies|StarlitSkies]] ([[User talk:StarlitSkies|talk]]) 04:05, 23 January 2023 (UTC))

===General concepts===
{{ombox
| type = speedy
| text = '''Reminder: DO NOT COPY GUIDES FROM OTHER SITES.''' Those who wrote the original guides own them and it is up to them if they want to post them anywhere else. (If the license is compatible with [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ CC BY-SA 4.0] then you are allowed to put it here with attribution.)
}}

Ideas for new pages. Some of these pages already have established guides, which can be used as a reference (but may not be copied directly, depending on permission, and some of them may be out of date anyway)

I think it might be of some use to add a "piracy" page, explaining what piracy is, how to determine if you are a pirate, and why we don't allow piracy talk, sorta like https://3ds.eiphax.tech/piracy, but with some more detail on how it applies to the wiki and Discord server in specific.

3DS:Animal Crossing: New Leaf

2025-08-02T10:30:02Z

Aspect X: /* Mods */ added minecraft textures

{{Shortcut|3DS:ACNL|ACNL}}
'''Animal Crossing: New Leaf''' is a simulation video game for the Nintendo 3DS. It is the fourth mainline game in the Animal Crossing video game series.

== Game-specific quirks ==

=== Sudden missing save in un-updated game ===

If a game with a save file for "Welcome Amiibo" is launched without the update, it may appear as if the save is missing. This can be resolved by installing the update.

When a save file is upgraded for the "Welcome Amiibo" update, the format of the data is also upgraded. The base game uses the <code>garden.dat</code> file, while "Welcome Amiibo" uses <code>garden_plus.dat</code>.

On an unmodified console, the HOME Menu blocks launching New Leaf if it detects that the save was updated and that the game update is not installed. However Luma3DS removes this check, so it is possible to launch an un-updated game with an upgraded save, leading to it thinking the save is missing because it can't find <code>garden.dat</code>.

=== 2016 re-release ===

This game has a re-release in 2016 with the Welcome Amiibo content integrated into the base game. Gameplay-wise both are identical once the updates are installed, but this means that both have a different Title ID.

3DS:Game modification

2025-08-02T05:24:45Z

Aspect X: /* Patching using layeredfs */ capital in LayeredFS

{{Page WIP|notes=* Could use instructions on how to modify and rebuild a CIA for ROM hacks (maybe a link to a different guide?)}}
==Luma3DS game patching==
{{Main|3DS:Luma3DS/Configuration}}
[[3DS:Luma3DS|Luma3DS]] allows for the modification of a game or application without having to patch the original files. This is done by redirecting the application's file calls to a separate location containing the modified files. Because no original game files are actually being modified, this makes distribution/installation of ROM hacks simple, and even works with game cartridges. Files must be placed in a <code>/luma/titles/<Title ID>/</code> folder, with the Title ID of the title being modified. Luma3DS's game patching supports the following files:

* <h3>External code.bin and exheader.bin loading</h3>
:: Patched <code>code.bin</code> and <code>exheader.bin</code> files can be loaded. Compressed <code>.code</code> files will not work with this feature, it must be uncompressed into a <code>code.bin</code>.

* <h3>IPS patching</h3>
:: IPS patches for <code>code.bin</code> are also supported, which contain only the changes to the original code rather than the entire <code>code.bin</code>. Patches should be named <code>code.ips</code> and placed instead of a patched <code>code.bin</code>.

* <h3>LayeredFS</h3>
:: Files within a game or applications <code>romfs</code> folder can redirected by placing modified files within <code>/luma/titles/<Title ID>/romfs</code>.

* <h3>Locale Emulation</h3>
:: {{Main|3DS:Setting game locales}}
:: Locale Emulation can be used to launch a title with different region settings than the system. Although Luma3DS allows for any region game to be launched, some games may crash if the system region settings are not supported. Luma3DS can use alternate locale information from a <code>locale.txt</code> file placed in the <code>/<Title ID>/</code> folder for a title. Follow [[3DS:Setting game locales]] for more detailed instructions.

==ROM hacks==
ROM hacks are game mods that work by modifying or adding to a games files to change or add new content. ROM hacks can be made for a variety of different reasons, from making a game harder, adding new levels, translating the game to a different language, texture packs, randomization, and much more. Most ROM hacks on 3DS are distributed as unpacked files, and applied using Luma3DS's layeredfs. You can find some ROM hacks on their individual game pages; see a full list at [[:Category:Nintendo 3DS games|Category:Nintendo 3DS games]], or use the search feature.

===Patching using LayeredFS===
{{info|Some hacks have additional files and instructions to follow that aren't covered here. Always refer to the hacks installation instructions/README if available.}}
# Download a ROM hack
# Copy the files to your SD card:
#* If the files contain a <code>/luma/</code> folder, copy it to the root of your SD card merging when asked
#* If the files contain a <code>/<Title ID>/</code> (16 character long) folder, copy it to <code>/luma/titles/</code>
#* If the files contain <code>/romfs/</code>, <code>code.bin</code> or <code>code.ips</code>; create a new folder in <code>/luma/titles/</code> and rename it to the Title ID of the game. Copy the <code>/romfs/</code>, <code>code.bin</code> or <code>code.ips</code> to the <code>/luma/titles/<Title ID>/</code> folder you just made
#** You can get the game's title ID from [http://3dsdb.com/ here] (cartridges), [https://hax0kartik.github.io/3dsdb/ here] (digital games), or from the <code>FBI -> Titles</code> menu. For example the Title ID for Pokémon X is <code>0004000000055D00</code>, so modified Pokémon X files would be placed at <code>/luma/titles/0004000000055D00/</code>.
# Insert your SD card into your console
# While holding {{B|SELECT}}, power on your console to enter [[3DS:Luma3DS/Configuration|the Luma3DS configuration menu]]
# Turn on '''Enable game patching''' if it is not already enabled
# Press {{B|START}} to save and exit
{{success|Your title should now be patched using LayeredFS.}}

==Game plugins==
{{Main|3DS:Game plugins}}
Plugins are add-ons that run with a game. Plugins generally come in two types, 3GX or PLG. [[3DS:Game plugins/3GX|3GX plugins]] run using Luma3DS's built in plugin loader, while [[3DS:Game plugins/PLG|PLG plugins]] can be run using [https://github.com/Nanquitas/BootNTR BootNTR]. 3GX plugins are usually newer and should generally be used if given a choice. You can find some plugins on their individual game pages; see a full list at [[:Category:Nintendo 3DS games|Category:Nintendo 3DS games]], or use the search feature.

==Cheat codes==
Cheat codes, or Action Replay codes, are instructions to edit memory addresses that allow for games behavior and values to be edited. These can be used in a variety of ways, from invincibility, max currency, unlocking items, and more. The two main ways to use cheats are from Luma3DS's Rosalina menu, or CTRPluginFramework's Action Replay. Using cheats with CTRPluginFramework, or a dedicated cheat plugin for the game you want to play will usually be more compatible.

===Rosalina menu cheats===
To use cheats with Rosalina menu:
# Place cheat files in plain text at either <code>/cheats/<Title ID>.txt</code> or <code>/luma/titles/<Title ID>/cheats.txt</code>
#* Cheat files can be generated using [[Checkpoint]], or downloaded from [https://github.com/FlagBrew/Sharkive/tree/master/3ds the Sharkive repository].
# Open the Rosalina menu ({{B|L|D-Pad down|SELECT}} by default)
# Select <code>cheats...</code>
# Press {{B|A}} on any cheats you want activated
# Press {{B|B}} until you exit the Rosalina menu

===CTRPluginFramework Action Replay===
To use cheats with CTRPluginFramework:
# Install the latest version of [https://github.com/PabloMK7/CTRPluginFramework-BlankTemplate/releases/latest CTRPluginFramework-BlankTemplate] (the <code>.3gx</code> file) using the instructions [[3DS:Game plugins/3GX|here]]
# Place cheat files in plain text at either <code>/cheats/<Title ID>.txt</code> or in the same folder as the <code>.3gx</code> plugin as <code>cheats.txt</code>
#* A repository of compiled cheat codes can be found [https://github.com/iSharingan/CTRPF-AR-CHEAT-CODES here]
#* Or create your own cheats; a list of all code types supported by Action Replay can be found [https://gist.github.com/Nanquitas/d6c920a59c757cf7917c2bffa76de860 here]
# Open the Rosalina menu ({{B|L|D-Pad down|SELECT}} by default)
# Press {{B|A}} on <code>Plugin Loader:</code> to enable it
# Press {{B|B}} until you exit the Rosalina menu
# launch your game of choice
#* The screen should flash another color to indicate that the plugin has successfully loaded
#* it will say <code>Plugin ready!</code> on the top screen when it is loaded
# Press {{B|SELECT}} to open the plugin menu
# Tap on <code>Action Replay</code>
# Select the Action Replay codes you want to use
# Press {{B|SELECT}} to exit the plugin menu

==Save editors==
Save editors are tools that allow game saves to be edited in order to unlock items, change game progression, edit characters or companions and more. Save editors are usually limited by what the game is already capable of doing, but can sometimes unlock items not earnable through normal gameplay. Most save editors require your save to be unencrypted; you can use a save game manager such as [[Checkpoint]] to make unencrypted backups and restore save backups. You can find some Save editors on their individual game pages; see a full list at [[:Category:Nintendo 3DS games|Category:Nintendo 3DS games]], or use the search feature.

==ROM editors==
ROM editors are tools that allow game files or code to be edited in order to change how the game functions. Depending on the editor it may be able to edit textures or sounds, add new game content, make the game more/less difficult, remix content in a new way such as randomizers, and much more. You can find some ROM editors on their individual game pages; see a full list at [[:Category:Nintendo 3DS games|Category:Nintendo 3DS games]], or use the search feature.
