This is so that Crowdin will stop attempting to parse my kramdown files, thus breaking them on export. The only difference is the file extension.

<a name="faq_latestfw" />**Q:** *I am on the latest system version, is my device hackable?*
|
|
**A:** Yes, 11.2 is hackable using the [Homebrew Launcher (SoundHax)](https://3ds.guide/homebrew-launcher-(soundhax)) method
|
|
|
|
<a name="faq_updatecfw" />**Q:** *How do I update Luma3DS?*
|
|
**A:** Use Luma3DS Updater
|
|
|
|
<a name="faq_gatewaysky" />**Q:** *I heard about this thing I have to pay for (Gateway, Sky3DS, etc), is that something I need?*
|
|
**A:** No. arm9loaderhax is a superior method of loading hax that runs early in boot and opens up the opportunity for things such as true custom firmware.
|
|
|
|
<a name="faq_gatewaysaves" />**Q:** *How do I move saves from an existing Gateway setup to device installed games?*

|
|
|
<a name="faq_risky" />**Q:** *How risky is hacking my console?*
|
|
**A:** Bricks are now *basically* impossible unless you ignore/circumvent all safety checks.
|
|
|
|
<a name="faq_homebrew" />**Q:** *Can I run awesome homebrew and emulators with this?*
|
|
**A:** Yes! Custom Firmware not only enables the Homebrew Launcher, but it also will give you hacks on all versions, which means you keep it forever, even with updates.
|
|
|
|
<a name="faq_regionfree" />**Q:** *Can I use this to play games from other regions?*
|
|
**A:** Luma3DS supports Region Free patches, which enables users to install games from any region without any extra modification or steps.
|
|
|
|
<a name="faq_updates" />**Q:** *Is it safe to update CFW SysNAND?*
|
|
**A:** Yes. This is safe, stop asking about it.
|
|
|
|
<a name="faq_support" />**Q:** *Where should I go for support?*
|
|
**A:** For support, ask for help at [#3dshacks on Rizon IRC](https://www.reddit.com/r/3dshacks/wiki/irc) or [3DS Hacking on Discord](https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp).

|
<a name="faq_le4gbsd" />**Q:** *Can I do this with a 4GB (or smaller) SD card?*
|
|
**A:** Thanks to the new CTRNAND method, yes!
|
|
|
|
<a name="faq_ge128gbsd" />**Q:** *Can I use a 128 GB (or larger) SD card?*
|
|
**A:** Yes, but some users have reported slowdowns when using such large sizes. Note that you cannot format the card with exFAT; you need to format it with FAT32.
|
|
|
|
<a name="faq_movesd" />**Q:** *How do I move to a new SD card at the end of this?*
|
|
**A:** Just copy all the files to the new SD card.

|
|
|
|
<a name="faq_systransfer" />**Q:** *What about System Transfers?*
|
|
**A:** Once you have completed the guide, you can system transfer to and from an arm9loaderhax'd 3DS or 2DS exactly like you would a regular stock console or EmuNAND (you will lose any non-legitimate games/themes/DLC in the transfer; saves will stay even for games that are lost).
|
|
|
|
<a name="faq_nopc" />**Q:** *Can I do this without a computer (e.g. an Android phone)?*
|
|
**A:** All you need is the ability to put files on an SD card!
|
|
|
|
<a name="faq_problem" />**Q:** *Help! Something bad happened and now I cannot boot...*
|
|
**A:** Please look at the [troubleshooting guide](troubleshooting).
