Hi my good people,
I just found an old 3DS of mine and it was hacked via Soundhax or something I guess, many, many years ago, let it be 6 to 7 years!
It still boots, on an old firmware. Freeshop, which was a thing back then, also still starts, but fails when downloading.

Can someone bring me up to speed what's necessary to get that thing on the current state of the art.
Upgrading the FW to latest would be obvious, latest Luma, maybe new entrypoint.
Is freeshop still a thing? Is there anything like it that still works or would one have to acquire the .cia's and install them via FBI manually. Thanks a bunch!

Doesn't work anymore. We do not provide links to pirated software either.

The dude who operated Freeshop got arrested for possession of illegal child pictures on his server.

thanks... so what about updating the 3ds to latest version, should I re-hack using a different hack? soundhax is also boot9strap which should be on there. or do you recommend just un-hacking, restoring to stock and then re-hacking using latest version, updating to current fw, then going from scratc

Can you check what Luma3DS version is it on? hold select while powering on the 3ds.

You can use hShop, but freeShop has been dead because Nintendo updated their CDN communication servers to the eShop, therefore this method no longer works.

Do you know what version of Luma3DS you are using? Maybe update your 3DS to use the latest CFW.

It's a few years old, maybe the hax itself stays and I just update Luma

Cool, thanks. Will try that. Haven't touched a 3DS in years, but was very into it back then, I'm sure I'll get the hang of it again quickly.
The way I see it, I only update Luma, FBI maybe as well and install hshop, should be enough.

So I just replaced boot.firm and boot.3dsx with latest files from github.... And it's still showing Luma 7.1 when I hold select while booting.

Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

    @K3Nv2 I got some cheapies at wallys, that are pretty good, already have lost a few expensive ones (one falls out and gone, can't find) while cutting grass so bought some cheap ones, and of course never lose these cheap ones. (Cheap meaning only $35, compared to air buds which I only have 1 of 2 now)
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    They need to add air tags to they airbuds..
