Is this what I follow?

oh cool I can send images here

Idk if that's normal? I can't anywhere else rn until I have trusted apparently

[ionic fjord]

yeah you can send images here in case you need support but dont have trusted

also that guide should work fine

[magic ridge]

I see, I'll follow it ty

[magic ridge]

it says X are they on?

idk

[magic ridge]

OK good

[magic ridge]

I'm trying to switch on azahar and it doesn't work? It just stays on Nintendo (I imported otp.bin, SecureInfo_A, and LocalFriendCodeSeed_B)

<@&1228132296259797093> if possible, plz

[magic ridge]

I hope I can figure this out

I prefer azahar because I can play with a controller

[magic ridge]

Do I need to import all the system files?

I thought importing the OTP and all that would be enough but apparently it is not

[tawny radish]

Did you follow the setup guide for azahar on the pretendo website? That automatically transfers all required files from your 3ds to the emulator

[magic ridge]

I don't want to import everything just what I need

[magic ridge]

This imports everything and I don't want that

[barren star]

You need more than just console-unique data

Without the firmware, you are missing the raw (LLE) sysmodules that are necessary to use online services

In any case, the guide expects you to fully set up the system files using the Artic Setup Tool (and for this, you need an actual console)

[magic ridge]

Can I manually dump those without using the artic setup tool?

[magic ridge]

Yeah I guess I will use artic setup then (I do have an actual console btw)

[barren star]

-# in reply to a deleted question
Technically yes, you could manually dump system files from a SysNAND+movable dump, but to do so you'd have to decrypt them one by one - it's more tedious than it's worth. Plus it depends on what you would consider "unnecessary data".

It would be better to let Artic Setup Tool install all the system titles on its own, and then in Azahar, uninstall any system applications you don't need (except for Mii Maker that's very important, as well as Download Play and System Settings to a lesser extent)

[magic ridge]

Sounds good

[patent relic]

me having this same issue stuck frozen unable to select pretendo

ok i think i missed a big step i think its working now

forgot to do the smdc stuff it seems

[magic ridge]

Which step did you miss?

[patent relic]

forgot to put the remaining files in the sd card root i think

the azahar guide didnt say to do that

[barren star]

the guide does specify this, assuming you mean the 3ds folder from the downloaded zip

[patent relic]

yeah that

idk i prob didnt read properly when putting everything in place

[magic ridge]

<@&1228132296259797093> Azahar said something missing otp backup on sd card

On the artic setup tool do I need to remove the battery?

I'm updating luma3ds let me see if that works

Now I get error read on socket and a black screen

Now it says an error occured when trying to communicate

Is something wrong with my system or azahar? I have the latest azahar and the latest luma3ds

It works now, weird

Huhh

Ok I think I know why now, my internet connection on my 3ds was not set up properly

Yay it worked

[magic ridge]

I imported everything and it's still being weird. When I click pretendo it still just refreshes on nintendo <@&1228132296259797093>

[obtuse rivet]

most likely server maintenance so try again later

[magic ridge]

It doesn't even switch so that's weird

[magic ridge]

I'm trying to Open the 3DS home menu on azahar and I get this error?

I just wanna play mk7 man :( wtf is going on

[obtuse rivet]

you are accessing it through this menu right?
