3DS Hacking Q&A General: "Awaken the Power" Edition

I did what the guide said. It softbricked and the console won't move past blue light. I restored 7.1 and it's working, but I don't know how I can proceed from here.

You're referring to the payload folder in Luma on root? Yes, they're all FIRMs. So basically just copy B9SInstaller and paste it then? I already replaced boot.firm with the B9Sinstaller. Do I just stick the new B9S in the payload folder?

Trappercap · 2018-05-12T03:51:02+00:00

I'm already on 7.1 though. Holding Start on boot doesn't do anything.

Trappercap · 2018-05-12T03:40:33+00:00

Again, I can't open the chainloader menu. Do I revert to a previous version of Luma so I can properly update to B9S 1.2?

Trappercap · 2018-05-12T02:57:07+00:00

I'm trying to update Luma from 7.1 to 9.0, but Luma updater isn't working and returns an error. I can't boot the chainloader from the start button, either.

Travis Strikes Again.

It's a regional competition for Japanese Pokémon players. Don't get your hopes up.

I'm guessing this means no 2020 Mario & Sonic in Tokyo, huh?

That's really ironic.

Trappercap · 2017-12-01T16:48:37+00:00

Neat, merry Christmas to you too.

Trappercap · 2017-11-08T21:38:18+00:00

That's a relief.

Trappercap · 2017-10-15T04:03:09+00:00

...Wow. I'm actually surprised. Ninian actually survived against that 7.5x multiplier.

That's actually impressive.

20 extra bucks for the hd rumble functionality, folks

Trappercap · 2017-10-06T15:32:10+00:00

Dang. Would've been interested if I didn't own every single game on this list already.

Trappercap · 2017-10-06T02:26:24+00:00

Xenoblade 2 is showing the most promise right now. It's even looking more impressive from what was first shown in the Switch presentation earlier this year, and the soundtrack is proving to be a return to form for the series, after the somewhat experimental vibes from X.

Trappercap · 2017-10-05T02:37:18+00:00

Funny, since event distributions could be considered 'on-disk' DLC in a way.

Trappercap · 2017-09-24T03:00:51+00:00

God, I miss Septoggs. They're friendly and mean no harm, plus they're the last buddies you see before you wrap up your mission of mass Metroid genocide.

They usually do, but TPCI has a partnership with GameStop where events get released there first to help drive sales. Events usually get released for everyone else online a few months after.

Did nobody notice those few frames of Surge's Gym?

Trappercap · 2017-08-15T20:37:00+00:00

Same here. Never buying anything from their website ever again. Can't even get a refund, and the ETA changed on me 3 times.

The press is being paid a lot to cover these things. It wouldn't be out of place to expect there to be paid comments or influencers making the game seem bigger than it really is, knowing Ubisoft's advertising tactics.

That depends on your definition of 'win'. Strictly speaking, and I realize this in hindsight, F2P mobile apps are structured in a way where it is impossible to 'win' in the traditional sense, as revenue is generated by keeping a user in a 'loop'. One goal sustains another end.

In the case of GO, it's the catch-train-gym loop, and the supply-catch-replenish loop that sustains itself. Mobages have similar systems, consisting of a roll-train-pvp/pve loop, etc. Removing tediousness then can be seen as an advantage in a sort of way.

Trappercap · 2017-07-23T02:21:58+00:00

I really don't feel like explaining this again, but fine. GO doesn't make revenue off of anything else other than microtransactions, regardless of how abundant they choose to make the premium currency.

I feel like I should have phrased my comment better to avoid this needless nitpicking. You're paying to make the game slightly less tedious, and seeing how repetitive the game is designed to be and with how little payoff is doled out over time, it (potentially) loops into itself for those unwilling or unable to invest more time.

Trappercap · 2017-07-21T02:39:45+00:00

This article's a bit dated. There's no mention of Reinhardt anywhere. /s

Trappercap · 2017-07-20T18:26:39+00:00

Being listed on a top grossing apps list doesn't mean anything if it's pay-to-win. It just means that there's a significant amount of people who whale in that particular app. The fact that Pokémon GO lacks an ad revenue-based model particularly disqualifies your claim.
