Go to "SysNAND Options", then "Miscellaneous...", then select the "Health & Safety Dump" option to dump Health & Safety to hs.app (you can use Up and Down / Left and Right to change the name)
There is no lesshax installer. You either build it yourself, or use the files I linked, matching it with the correct one for your system. The 2DS outputs sound in mono instead of stereo. This results in games sounding pretty tinny, but plugging in some headphones results in stereo sound. You also aren't able to play any New 3DS exclusive software with this model. For this guide, we will be using Type 2, on the Left Trigger (change this to whatever you prefer, but there is a reason for this which I'll explain now). Now, I'll say this here, the biggest risk you take is the downgrade, so you should consider using the full A9LH guide, however, if the A9LH process still scares you, then continue on.
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? We'll need FBI injected into SysNAND as well, so we can install GBA and DSiWare .cia files, so we can play them properly on RedNAND. This comment comes off as quite angry but it isn't supposed to be. It's a somewhat reasonable comment to have been made, but I do kind of question the logic.

While those are the major differences between each of the 3DS and various 2DS models, which is the best? Which is right for you? Well, that might depend on your own personal gaming preferences, and certain gaming needs might make one model more desirable than the other. At the end of the day, each iteration has its own set of pros and cons that you might want to consider. Nintendo 3DS Nintendo 3DS vs 2DS vs New 2DS XL: A Complete Comparison 5

While lesshax (you don't really need to use HxD if you decide to use this) is based on the 2.1 ninjhax base, with stuff removed to hopefully improve bootrate and stuff, as well as debug colors//text removed. lesshax should load the less.3dsx file on the root of your SD Card. How do I update Decrypt9WIP in my 2DS? I have the previous version 20160607 installed in my system. Select the "Complete RedNAND setup" option. (If you plan on using a GW: Then do "Complete EmuNAND Setup") Copy the CtrBootManager.3dsx and the boot.cfg files from inside the CtrBootManager Release folder of the Release zip onto the root of your SD Card.
So the best solution is to actually use HxD and make changes to the ropbinpayload.bin on the root of your SD Card. This will allow it to boot anything you tell it, as long as it's 4 chars. In the example shown in the guide, we changed it to be auto,3dsx from the original boot.3dsx. You'll need to actually boot into SysNAND to see the theme. Either boot into SysNAND by holding L at boot time, or by launching Luma3DS from CtrBootManager while holding L. (This is assuming you followed my recommendations) The latest Windows 11 update won't install for some users, and tanks gaming performance even if it does If you want a longer time at the menu, change timeout=3; to a higher number than 3 if you want a bit more time, like 10. Set to 0 for instantatnious boot.Which 3DS model do you own? Are you thinking of buying one? Tell us which is your favorite and share your thoughts in the comments below! ihaveamac's version should just be a ninjhax 2.7 payload edited to remove the debug//colors, don't think it actually improves bootrate. We are now done with this part. Press Start to reboot. Read the next short part, to get an idea of how to install your GBA//DSiWare .CIA games. I simply don't want to use the HBL to boot onto the tools because i have successfully installed the hbl_cia and if i ever want to use the tools, i just use that.
If you want to try lesshax and see if your bootrate improves, then follow these instructions, it'll also have no debug colors or text, so it'll look clean. Go through initial setup without linking your Nintendo Network ID, you want it to remain linked only to RedNAND to prevent issues. Here https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/wiki/FAQ-and-Troubleshooting I've read that it's a problem with the gw downgrade...when I first had rxtools I've downgraded to 4.5 with GW. Update your RedNAND to the latest version using System Settings -> Other Settings -> System Update (if you have not already done so. ALWAYS make sure it says Emu in front of your firmware version.) Once you boot into SysNAND, you'll see your custom theme! Now get the hell out of SysNAND you psycho!
Liam_Doolan I cant talk about 2ds, but the originall 3ds isnt as sturdy as the new 3ds(not xl). Thats just an excuse to not upgrade. I got my OG3DS sinds the beginning and it really is not as sturdy, the new 3ds does has a more plastic feel but the hinges are better. Not to diss you or anything but its just hard for me to believe that people can take these conclusions. For that problem with luma 5.4 (I think) I just put firmware.bin in luma folder and it boot up just fine Copy body_LZ.bin and bgm.bcstm (bgm.bcstm is optional, ignore it if your theme doesn't have one) to /3ds/menuhax_manager 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.
Great Deal
