Hey guys, I really need your help. I modded my New 3DS about 1 1/2 years ago, never had any Problems with it. But about a week ago, I left my 3DS on on the "illegitimate E-Shop" to download some game.
About 2 hours later, I returned to it being frozen up on the download screen and everything (->on screen buttons, etc) having a weird purple artifact glitch. I couldnt do anything with the buttons, so I shut it down holding the power button until it turned off, in hopes that that would fix it. Now, some times when I power it on, it boots fine and then stays on the home menu for some time, then freezes up and I have the same problem with the freezing. Other times when I power it on, it flashes the notification led red- or purple, and shows the missing boot.firm screen. I have already replaced the boot.firm on the SD. I have already reformatted the SD (using FAT32FORMATTER) then checked the sd with H2testw and formatted again, afterwards put my data back on. I dont know what to do anymore. I am suspecting it has something to do with the 3ds update (I had it downloaded but not installed, Luma and b9s were upgraded to the latest version) But also when I boot into safe mode, it freezes up.

If somebody knows something I dont, please help

When I try without the SD, it either flashes the notification light purple, or gives the unable to load CTRNand boot.firm, please use an external one.

Please try without SD.

Also please run a hardware (memory) test.

    although I have huge doubts anyone would be able to make homebrew that would give support for the touch screen
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    then again theres still people who develop games on systems as old as the nes for fun
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    (
    micromages is amazing btw)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I doubted 360 emulation would be possible
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    yet here we are seeing ps4 and even some (very experimental
    ) ps5 emulation
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ps5 emulation? Why
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I always thought Saturn emulation would straight up be impossible
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just the atchiture is insanely complex
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's why it annoys me when people rant about things being impossible when it comes to software some things should just be focused on more than others
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    because they want to flex their insane developer skills ofc
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    We have ps5 exploits where's an article talking about ps5 emulation?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    if i wanted to play gb games on a touch screen device i would just use my phone
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    heres ps4/5
    emulation (it is far from playing actual games yet but its something) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qe71pCjC9U
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I thought PS4/5 and Xbox One emulation would be kind of easy since they basically just a PC
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    they sorta are a pc
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They haslve dedicated on board chips that aren't tweaked like x64/x32 afaik
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    but its a custom os for both of them
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Damn Frontier is offering 5Gbps now lol

    I honestly can't recommend any of the big 3 this years I'd say buy a rog ally z1 if we're being honest
