The Iron Rose

Just use NTR, the two plugins available work fine. no one should be using gateway in tyool 2016

I mean it's relatively simple. In fact, it's actually rather identical to the process you would normally use to transfer roms to your iPhone to play on GBA4iOS. Anyways, download and unzip the patch. Download and unzip your rom. Patch your rom with NUPS, and then put the resulting file on your phone through whichever method you prefer. I like the built-in dropbox sync, personally.

lol, no. make sure you're decompressing whatever rom you're using though, they're often stored in zip or rar files.

Just follow this guide from the top: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki

You should probably fix your emuNAND before you do anything else. And then install a9lh.

Christ, I don't know man. Try it and see, it's not like you can't cheat yourself more dragon vein points with the NTR plugin or FEFTwiddler (the fates save editor).

Yeah, though you will need to scrap and rebuild everything in your castle. there's some glitchiness there.

To your first question - once you've disabled the plugin you would only be able to build your hunting grounds and ruby mine, not your crystal mine and cabbage patch. To your other questions: 1) no, the only things that can get you banned from online (i.e. no one can visit your castle and you can't participate in online battles) is having enemy only weapons, dragonskin, or too many characters in special (nohr/hoshido prince/ess, foxes, wolves, dancer) classes and then updating data. that's it. 2) Just google it dude, I can't hand hold you all the way. Download the plugin here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/request-fire-emblem-fates-special-edition-usa-cheat-plugin.415563/ or here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/ntr-cheats-plugin-ported-from-gateshark.427187/ Download the 3.2 NTR.bin here: https://github.com/44670/BootNTR/releases and shadowtrance's 3.3 bootntr.cia here: https://github.com/Shadowtrance/BootNTR/releases put the plugin in plugins/titleID, run bootntr.cia, run fates, press x+y. Make sure you're using the ntr firm for Luma 3ds on the luma wiki.

Not sure wrt your second question, but obviously you don't have to enable the plugin - just don't run NTR before loading fates.

well you could try reading the relevant thread, google, looking around basically anywhere on this site, or using some basic technical know-how. I'm not gonna hold your hand through everything man. run nightmare, load up your rom and the .nmm modules, and change the promotion pointers for non-master seal items to the promotion pointer for the master seal. you could also just open up your rom in HxD (or another hex editor) and make the changes manually. Or use that new practice of using the event assembler to modify roms like you're writing an actual program. This however, is probably easiest.

there's a nightmare module that does exactly that, i don't remember which one. one of the promotion editors one would assume.

run the ntr plugin that gives you access to all buildings and replace

no, but you can by changing what upgrade is called by the seal. it'll take 5 minutes at most of changing the pointer

Yeah, no, I know the thing you're talking about and it's an ex employee with a nintento email address. He is in no way affiliated with NOA.

It's actually not nintendo.

Yeah. Press X+Y to open the ntr menu and hit take screenshot. Also use the 3.2 ntr.bin with the 3.3 bootntr.cia - there's a bug in the 3.3 and 3.4 bin files that prohibits switching games.

So I figured out why you couldn't rebuild a .cia with modified files. Turns out you can't have spaces in the filename. Though unfortunately you can't go online with a modified .cia so it's somewhat irrelevant in any event. Terribly annoying since you need to use NTR every time.

It's in the installation and upgrade section of the wiki: https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/wiki/Installation-and-Upgrade Here's the firm you need for NTR: http://www70.zippyshare.com/v/Fbj6n1vB/file.html Pick the correct one for your device (o3ds vs n3ds) and put it in the luma folder on your SD card.

NTR is easier to use than HANS, since you don't need to go into the HBL then into HANS, you can instead just launch NTR. There's a tutorial on the gay hack's webpage. But yeah you can play digital fates with HANS, just install the hbloader.cia, which launches the homebrew menu. Then load up HANS from there, choose fates, and you're set.

Yep! That's the beauty of A9LH, you can update your system through the normal process forever and you can never lose your hax, since it's loaded before the firmware itself loads.

Nope, you're in updated sysNAND so you don't need to worry about emuNAND or anything like that. You basically have a normal 3ds with kernal access and sig patches and all that lovely stuff, without the headaches of a custom firmware emuNAND setup.

that relies on a browser exploit only present in FW versions 9.5 and below on the o3DS. You should be able to downgrade the browser once you've set up a CFW. The author of leaftools doesn't know what he's talking about, emuNAND doesn't make a difference. https://www.reddit.com/r/3dshacks/comments/402cri/how_to_downgrade_3ds_browser_to_more_vulnerable/

Whatever hacks say that are lying to you, there's no difference between emuNAND and sysNAND, with the specific exception of virtual console stuff and even then it's just an extra step and they work fine. If you set up A9LH then you can just use updated sysNAND as well, without needing to bother with emuNAND.

downgrade and set up a CFW with this guide: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki Then use NTR and the updated files on gbatemp's thread for the gay hack. Then just grab the undub hack, combine the files, and either put it in NTR or rebuild the CIA using the guide linked last page.

feel free to test and post here with your findings!
