I’m on this part of the guide and when I did it everything on my sd card was fully gone. Where did I go wrong and do I need to re do the previous steps?

Dilibris installation guide on 3DS?

So I have been trying to find a way to read books on 3DS and so far all options went out the window and Drider was the best but not by much since it crashed any file I selected. I know most people would just say to "get a kindle" but I live in south america and I want my 3DS to do more than just play games. However, there seem to be no guides or helpful links to know what version to download and where to put the files. Do you guys have any idea?

Lagging games

When I switched from my old 2ds to new 3ds, games that used to play smoothly now lag. Why is that? Is my new SD card just not that great?

Anyone able to help?

I used a couple cheats in my game then accidentally stepped on a save spot while the cheats were in place, and it crashed after the save went through. I can’t find anything to fix this and I have barely any experience with using the files from the game’s save file.

Please someone help me out because I do not want to go through the game again :(

Left screw for the N3DSXL doesn't come out

I've been wanting to change the sd card for a while now, but this dumb screw is kind of broken and just doesn't come out, no matter what I try. I'm using a PH0. Does anybody have an idea on what I can do

Need Help Fixing a Cascade of Issues

It all started when two issues arose: Pretendo was not working on my device and trying to get it back up was a real to do, and Faketik was not bringing back applications that disappeared after installing new apps/games. I posted in the relevant subreddits asking for help, the help I received just ended up cascading into more and more problems, now I'm stuck and have no idea how to fix this.

Let me explain in detail: I had deleted a few games I installed and some applications came back after becoming invisible, but when I installed a few more apps from Universal Updater some of them once again disappeared. I already had Faketik installed to rectify this, but for whatever reason when I used it despite saying it had successfully restored all tickets none of the software reappeared, it still remained inaccessible no matter how many times I went into Faketik. So I posted about this in this subreddit, only one person responded and sent me this link: https://3ds.hacks.guide/restoring-updating-cfw.html meanwhile I asked about the Pretendo issue in the Pretendo subreddit. Well eventually I tried what the guide suggested, but I think I misunderstood as I added the files from the page to the root of my SD card, but when I put the card back in the system nothing happened, so I tried to go into Luma to do it manually but I didn't know what to do, so I just tried reformatting to see if that would do anything. I put everything on a folder as backup, then tried formatting, but since Windows doesn't format to FAT32 naturally I needed external software and couldn't remember what software I used previously, so I downloaded something new. But when I tried formatting it it said it couldn't because it was write protected despite the switch on the adapter being on, and no matter how many times I went into diskpart, as online guides suggested, and removed readonly it still claimed it was under write protection so it couldn't format the card. On top of that it claimed it was now only a capacity of 31.9 GB instead of 128 (although maybe that was just describing how much space the formatting took up, which I find strange as I didn't think formatting took up storage nor that much). I tried buying another 128 GB microSD card from Target, I figured an SD card from a brick and mortar store was more likely to not be a scam knockoff, but the same issues applied. Now, despite all the content fitting on my SD card before all this, it says it exceeds my card's capacity.

I can't figure out how to resolve any of this and I'm metaphorically pulling my hair out trying to, even the assistance from this one person doesn't seem to be working and some of their solutions don't make sense, like get an SD card with a lower capacity, like how would that help? If anyone can help me with any of this I would greatly appreciate it, because tech is not my strong suit, the fact that I homebrewed my 3DS to begin with, that I could follow along with the guides at all, is a miracle.

What is this corrupted mess?

I was looking at the game activity and went to the library and saw this corrupted mess. Do I delete this from the log? Is this an artifact from when I modded my 3ds ages ago? Also sorry if this is the wrong subreddit.

New 3DS XL or New 2DS XL?

Is the New 3DS XL or New 2DS XL better for homebrew or are they about the same? I don't care about the 3D effect. Thanks!

Wanting to mod a N3DSXL but scared of bricking my console

So I read the instructions on the 3dshacks site, and it seems pretty easy, and pretty doable with my experience. The thing I wanted to ask is, of it is possible to brick the console during the install process, and if it happened to anyone before. Also, can something be done against a brickes console to kind of "unbrick" it. Thanks for every kind soul to respond to my question

nds-forwarder fullscreen being odd

latest luma version, latest godmode9 version, external FIRMS & patches enabled. latest TWpatch version, basically, latest everything for the things involved

whenever i try to launch one of my roms in widescreen (TWpatch widescreen + forced widescreen setting in the y menu when launching the forwarder) it says that if I'm using a 3ds forwarder i have to reinstall bootstrap.cia, and if im using a DSi forwarder i have to remake the forwarder.

i remade all the forwarders and the issue wasn't fixed.

i reinstalled bootstrap.cia (presumably from the YANDF github, couldn't find any other bootstrap.cia file related to this) and the issue wasn't fixed

i installed new nds forwarder packs, newest twilight menu, new nds bootstrap file; everything

it wasn't like this when i picked up the 3ds like half a year back, so i know i may be missing some updates but i just can't figure out what im missing

Update on last post

For everyone who saw my last post, I was able to get my own tag, though it costed my old 3ds in the process. After the tag had gone through my old 3ds didn’t turn on forcing me to restore a backup, while my new 3ds was able to receive its own tag as if it was any other.

Verdict is still unsure as the tag itself could have been from the previous save state, although it did work out in the end
