Hacks Guide Wiki:To-do list

From Hacks Guide Wiki
Revision as of 19:13, 20 June 2022 by Lifehackerhansol (talk | contribs) (capitalize)

This is where we can keep a list of things that should be done, such as pages that need creating or adding to.

Pages

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. 

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

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. ihaveahax (talk) 02:52, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

"Things to do" pages

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

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!


Guides

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

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.

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.

Move from Kurisu commands

Some stuff that's currently in nh-server/Kurisu could also be put here. Look inside assistance-cmds.

  • Checking 3DS local IP
  • Moving to a new SD card
    •  WIP
OOjs UI icon information-warning.svg <translate nowrap>This guide is for moving to another SD card to be used in the same 3DS, as the data is encrypted per-console. If you intend to transfer your content to a different 3DS, see 3DS:System Transfer.</translate>

Transferring your data to a new SD card (for example, if you would like more space) is relatively easy, but there are a few things that you should take note of:

  • The 3DS can only read SD cards formatted as FAT/FAT32 (not exFAT or NTFS). SD cards 64GB and larger ship as exFAT, so if your card is of that size then you will need to reformat your SD card.
    • Formatting your SD card will delete all data on it, so if there is any important data on it, make a backup of it first.
  • Due to cluster issues, the 3DS runs into weird issues on SD cards 200GB and larger (in particular, custom themes no longer stay applied and GBA VC has screen wraparound issues). Loading time also gets exponentially longer the larger the card is.
  • SD cards do not currently exist in a 2TB capacity. If you bought a card of such a size, you've been scammed. You should not use the card to save any important data (including 3DS data) due to data integrity concerns.

Assuming you've taken the things above into account, just copy and paste everything from the old SD card onto the new SD card and everything will be transferred.

Troubleshooting

There are a few reasons as to why this may happen:

  • The SD card is not being read; try reinserting the SD card and ensuring that there is no dust or moisture
  • The SD card is not formatted as FAT32
  • You have used this SD card in this 3DS before and it created a new data folder to avoid accidental data merging
In the final case, navigate to Nintendo 3DS -> (32-character-ID / ID0). If you have multiple 32-character IDs inside of this folder, delete the smaller one of the two.

Your SD card isn't being read and/or you don't have boot.firm on internal memory for some reason. Ensure your SD card is formatted as FAT32 and that there is no dust or moisture in the slot. If all else fails, you may want to check your SD card for errors.

General concepts

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)

3DS

Wii U

Switch

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.
  • Create a game template page, so anyone who wants to make a page for a specific game knows where to start.
  • 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.
