Welcome to the 3ds assistance regular guide! if you are seeing this, you most likely want to be a regular, but dont know where to start. this guide will hopefully help you.

Useful Commands and Keywords

Here are some commands that are useful to know.

The rules commands and .tag piracy: display the rule that you want to display. for example .r4 shows rule 4, .r11 shows rule 11, etc. .tag piracy adds to .r11 and sends this instead.

.Tag 17: sends you the 11.17 interactive troubleshooter.

.Tag Yarrharr: shows the reason why we dont support piracy, and says that homebrew devs dont want piracy to actually happen.

.Luma: sends the download links to latest luma, luma 7.0.5, and luma 7.1.

.vc 3ds: sends the download link to new super ultimate injector, and its usage guide.

Emunand: Short for emulated NAND. very outdated for 3ds because there isn’t a reason to use besides in very specific situations.

Sysnand: the consoles NAND. we can basically do anything on this safely, and its been like that for a while.

.Update 3ds: brings up a embed that shows if its safe to update.

.Skater: brings up a embed for Super-Skaterhax troubleshooting

.Ntrboot: sends the list of compatible ntrboot cartridges

.id0: Shows where the Id0 and Id1 are.

.sdroot: shows what the root of the sd card is.

.deltheme: shows how to delete theme data

Luma3ds: your customfirmware. comes with many useful features.

Godmode9: Multi purpose tool, including executing scripts, dumping games, and restoring NANDs.

FBI: installs CIA formatted files.

Anemone: Theme/Splash manager.

Rverse: Miiverse revival program.

Twilightmenu++: NDS emulator


Difference between software, firmware and hardware

Hopefully, you already know this, but i might as well go over it.

Hardware is the consoles parts, such as the RAM and CPU. this can also include stuff like the n3ds’s NFC touchpoint.

Firmware is stuff programmed into the system, such as its os. there really isnt much to go into on this topic.

Software is programs on the firmware. this can include games, homebrew apps, system apps, etc.

there is something that we do in dire situations called the hardware test. this goes and checks the entirety of the RAM for any errors. this should only be used when: • The console is not booting and boot9strap is giving a red notification light. • Replacing boot.firm and trying another sd card do not work.
