3DS:Animal Crossing: New Leaf

2024-03-13T04:33:30Z

Morbid: typo

{{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.

Checking SD card integrity/Windows

2024-02-26T02:59:02Z

Morbid: missing a quotation mark

This is an add-on section for checking your SD card for errors using h2testw.

Depending on the size of your SD card and the speed of your computer, this process can take up to several hours!

This page is for Windows users only. If you are not on Windows, check out the [[Checking SD card integrity/Linux|Linux]] or [[Checking SD card integrity/Mac|Mac]] pages.

== What You Need ==
* The latest version of [https://www.heise.de/ct/Redaktion/bo/downloads/h2testw_1.4.zip h2testw] (direct download)

== Instructions ==
# Copy <code>h2testw.exe</code> from the h2testw <code>.zip</code> to your desktop
# Insert your SD card into your computer
# Run <code>h2testw.exe</code>
# Select "English"
# Click "Select target"
# Select your SD card's drive letter
# Ensure "all available space" is selected
# Click "Write + Verify"
# Wait until the process is completed

{{success|text=If the test shows the result <code>Test finished without errors</code>, your SD card is likely good. You can delete all <code>.h2w</code> files on your SD card.}}

{{critical|text=If the test shows any other results, your SD card is failing. You will have to replace it!}}

3DS:Ntrboot/usage

2024-02-25T06:20:11Z

Morbid: old link lead to a 404

{{lowercase title}}{{hatnote|This article is for general guidance on how to use ntrboot for various purposes. For instructions specifically on installing custom firmware, follow [[3dsguide:installing-boot9strap-(ntrboot)|our custom firmware installation guide's page.]]}}

'''ntrboot''' allows <code>.firm</code> payloads to run entirely independent from the console's firmware, so it can be used to fix all known software issues. However, it can also cause the same issues if used incorrectly - be careful to get things right the first time, as the instructions may be harder to follow after a failed attempt.

{{info|text=If you are a power user, you may wish to always use [[3DS:GodMode9|GodMode9]] as the default <code>boot.firm</code> loaded by your flashcart. You will always have its functionality available this way, and GodMode9 is capable of chainloading into other payloads as needed through the <code>FIRM Options...</code> menu of a <code>.firm</code> file.}}

== Reinstalling the bootloader ==

{{warning|text=This section only installs boot9strap and is not a replacement for a full CFW install. If your system does not yet have custom firmware, follow the link at the top of the page.}}
If you have installed a bootloader that cannot boot the system normally with CFW otherwise working, you can run GodMode9, SafeB9SInstaller, or OpenFirmInstaller via ntrboot to install a valid bootloader in its place.
The following instructions will have you run SafeB9SInstaller through GodMode9 to avoid an issue with the <code>Checking microSD card...</code> step of SafeB9SInstaller.
===What you need===
*The latest release of {{GitHub|d0k3/SafeB9SInstaller/releases/latest|SafeB9SInstaller}} (the <code>.zip</code> file that isn't the source code)
*The latest release of {{GitHub|d0k3/GodMode9/releases/latest|GodMode9}} (the <code>.zip</code> file that isn't the source code)
*The latest release of {{GitHub|SciresM/boot9strap/releases/latest|boot9strap}} (the <code>boot9strap-#.#.zip</code> file - '''not''' ntr-devkit, ntr, or devkit)

=== Instructions ===

==== Section I - Prep Work ====

# Insert the '''flashcart's SD card''' into your computer
# Copy <code>SafeB9SInstaller.firm</code> from the SafeB9SInstaller <code>.zip</code> to the root of your SD card
# Copy <code>GodMode9.firm</code> from the GodMode9 <code>.zip</code> to the root of your SD card and rename it to <code>boot.firm</code>
# Reinsert the '''flashcart's SD card''' into your flashcart
# Insert the '''console's SD card''' into your computer
# Create a folder named <code>boot9strap</code> on the root of your SD card
# Copy <code>boot9strap.firm</code> and <code>boot9strap.firm.sha</code> from the boot9strap <code>.zip</code> to the <code>boot9strap</code> folder on your SD card
# Reinsert the '''console's SD card''' into your console

==== Section II - ntrboot and installation ====

# Use your magnet to find the spot on your device that triggers sleep mode
# Power off your console and insert the flashcart
# Set the magnet into place (or on an old 2DS, enable the sleep mode switch), then hold {{B|START}}, {{B|SELECT}}, and {{B|X}} and press {{B|POWER}} - continue to hold the other three buttons for around five seconds
#* This may take a few tries to work since the positioning is awkward - if you boot into anything other than GodMode9, power off and try again
# Remove the magnet or disable the sleep mode switch - if the exploit was successful, you will have booted into GodMode9
# If asked, press {{B|B}} to deny setting RTC and/or doing an essential files backup, then navigate to <code>SafeB9SInstaller.firm</code> and press A, choose <code>FIRM Options...</code> and then choose <code>Boot FIRM</code>.
# When prompted, input the key combo given on the top screen to install boot9strap
# When the install is complete, hold the power button to forcibly power off your console
# Depending on why you had to reinstall boot9strap, you may also want to follow [[3dsguide:finalizing-setup|Finalizing Setup]] from the CFW install guide at this point

== Recovering from software bricks ==

If your console has been [[Brick|bricked]] ''not due to hardware damage'', then you can recover the system with ntrboot by loading GodMode9. From there, you can use needed tools depending on the specific issue - the most common three are listed as follows.

=== Recovering from an unusable NAND ===

See [[3DS:GodMode9/Usage#Restoring_a_NAND_backup|how to restore a NAND backup]] for more specific instructions. If you do not have a NAND backup, you will instead need [[3dsguide:ctrtransfer|a CTRTransfer]], [[3DS:CTRTransfer/Manual|a manual CTRTransfer]], or help from [https://discord.gg/C29hYvh the Nintendo Homebrew Discord], depending on how severe your issue is. If you have a copy of <code>essentials.exefs</code> backed up, then even in the worst-case scenario you will only need a manual CTRTransfer.

=== Recovering from corrupted FIRM partitions ===

[[#Reinstalling the bootloader|Reinstall boot9strap]], even if you see [[3DS:BootROM_8046_screen|a BootROM error when powering on your console.]]

=== Issues with uninstalling custom firmware ===

If you have a NAND backup from when you first installed custom firmware, [[3DS:GodMode9/Usage#Restoring_a_NAND_backup|restore it.]] If you do not, then [[#Reinstalling the bootloader|reinstall boot9strap]] and then follow [[3dsguide:restoring-updating-cfw|Restoring / Updating CFW]] to make the system usable again.

== Installing CFW in edge cases ==

In cases where your system cannot normally install CFW, such as when important buttons other than {{B|START|SELECT|X|POWER}} are broken or the console has software issues that break parts of the system used in the exploits, ntrboot can still be used to install CFW.
