Nintendo Handheld Console - New Nintendo 2DS XL - Black and Lime Green - Pre-installed with Mario Kart 7 (Nintendo 3DS)

Product Information

I'd like replies to this tutorial to be solely on people following this tutorial, otherwise, I can't help you well. If you have a question or problem and it's not related to following this tutorial, it's best to ask in the 3DS Noob Paradise Thread. Unfortunately, the 2DS also features the worst battery life of the three current models. Each lasts a minimum of 3.5 hours depending on brightness and wireless settings, but the 2DS caps out at 5.5 hours of use. The New 3DS XL gets around a half-hour more than that, and we don't know how the New 2DS XL performs yet. Who is the 2DS For? Copy and merge the 3DS folder from the EmuNAND9 zip to the root of your SD card. (Should have already been done previously, but just in case) Inside the lesshax folder within the lesshax zip, copy and replace the corresponding ropbinpayload that matches the one on your SD Card, under the ropbin folder inside the menuhax folder. The way we've setup our 3DS, we autoboot into the Homebrew Launcher via menuhax, but to get into our RedNAND, we must launch Luma3DS from the Homebrew Launcher. This isn't very ideal for some. So in this part, we'll be using CtrBootManager to autoboot directly into our CFW+RedNAND.

Open HxD and navigate to and open the file that which starts with "ropbinpayload" (root:\menuhax\ropbin\)However, unlinking will format SysNAND, thankfully, setting up RedNAND has allowed us to create a copy of our SysNAND onto RedNAND. So everything is now on our RedNAND. If you do not see "Emu" in front of the version number, then you are not on RedNAND. DO NOT UPDATE, FIND OUT WHAT WENT WRONG. Boot into the Homebrew Launcher. (If you have followed this guide, you should be auto-booting into the Homebrew Launcher via menuhax) You'll probably still have a blank image display for menuhax, regardless of whether you used ihaveamac's version or the lesshax version. Both are easy to remove, and you can even customize it to however you want. Many early 3DS games, like Super Mario 3D Land, used the 3D quite a bit. But newer games don't use the 3D as much if at all. Pokemon Sun and Moon, for example, ( our review) only display in 3D in limited mini-game sections. And even in early 3DS games, the 3D is never a requirement to solve puzzles. Some games might be a bit less exciting without 3D -- playing Ocarina of Time in 3D, for instance, is a treat for any Zelda fan. But you'd find yourself turning it off before long anyway.

If you are not on 9.0-9.2, but on 9.3 to 10.7, then use Part 1 and Part 2 of Plailect's A9LH guide to downgrade to 9.2. Yes, New 2DS consoles come in at considerably more than the standard 2DS consoles – but the still reasonable price tag makes sense when considering all of the additional features.Copy the Decrypt9WIP folder from the Decrypt9WIP zip to the /3ds/ folder on your SD card. (Should have already been done previously, but just in case) Explanation for Left Trigger: For people who want to play GBA//DSiWare games, you'll want to be able to boot into a patched SysNAND, Luma3DS can handle this task by holding L when launching it, but since menuhax will be on our SysNAND, we'll just end up boot-looping, so with L as the trigger to de-activate menuhax loading, we can also launch a patched SysNAND via Luma3DS while holding L and while also being able to disable menuhax from causing us to loop on us. Go to "EmuNAND Options", then "Miscellaneous...", then select the "Health & Safety Dump" option to dump Health & Safety to hs_emu.app (you can use Up and Down / Left and Right to change the name) If you have followed this guide completely to this point, then you should have a short 3 second window at boot time, to load Decrypt9WIP. Do that now.
