Nintendo Handheld Console - New Nintendo 2DS XL - Black and Lime Green - Pre-installed with Mario Kart 7 (Nintendo 3DS)

Product Information

Inside the lesshax folder within the lesshax zip, copy and replace the corresponding ropbinpayload that matches the one on your SD Card, under the ropbin folder inside the menuhax folder.

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). To make my issue clearer, i want a coldboot enviroment directly into cfw with the highest bootrate possible (inside the menuhax enviroment, be it menuhax/lesshax/no colored screen) However, unlinking will format SysNAND, thankfully, setting up RedNAND has allowed us to create a copy of our SysNAND onto RedNAND. So everything is now on our RedNAND.Explanation for Left Trigger: For people who want to play GBA//DSiWare games, you'll want to be able to boot into a patched SysNAND, Luma3DS can handle this task by holding L when launching it, but since menuhax will be on our SysNAND, we'll just end up boot-looping, so with L as the trigger to de-activate menuhax loading, we can also launch a patched SysNAND via Luma3DS while holding L and while also being able to disable menuhax from causing us to loop on us.

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. If you are not on 9.0-9.2, but on 9.3 to 10.7, then use Part 1 and Part 2 of Plailect's A9LH guide to downgrade to 9.2. Wiki on the other keys: https://github.com/OperationNT414C/CtrBootManager/wiki/CtrBootManager-setup You are almost done, re-insert your SD Card into your 3DS, and you should now be autobooting right into RedNAND with Luma3DS as your CFW. You'll have 3 second window to boot other entries (If you opted for instantaenous boot, then you'll have to hold the corresponding recovery key to see the CtrBootManager menu).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.) Still, even aside from the 3D effects, the 3DS features a clamshell design – a design Nintendo has used regularly since the Game Boy Advance SP. This style of handheld protects the screen against scratches and makes the console itself more portable. Still, this design is somewhat of a double-edged sword considering the hinge that connects the console is prone to wearing down. Again, this is more of a problem with the original 3DS. Later models have improved upon the architecture of the original console, making it more durable. I still recommend people to use Plailect's A9LH Guide, however, for the people still too scared and afraid, I have taken time to make this for you. Since our Type2 menuhax config is set to not trigger when L is held and when launching Luma3DS, while holding L, tells Luma3DS to boot into SysNAND. What this results in is allowing us to boot into a patched SysNAND, from where we can launch the injected FBI.cia, to install our GBA//DSiWare .cias.

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. Boot into the Homebrew Launcher. (If you have followed this guide, you should be auto-booting into the Homebrew Launcher via menuhax) Since this guide is heavily adapted from Plailect's A9LH Guide, I want to take this time to thank Plailect for the work he has put into making that wonderful guide. <3 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. Once you boot into SysNAND, you'll see your custom theme! Now get the hell out of SysNAND you psycho!Open HxD and navigate to and open the file that which starts with "ropbinpayload" (root:\menuhax\ropbin\) Copy the arm9loaderhax.bin file and copy the contents inside of the hax folder from the Luma3DS zip to the root of your SD card. Select the "Complete RedNAND setup" option. (If you plan on using a GW: Then do "Complete EmuNAND Setup") Shutdown and Reboot into your RedNAND (This should be pretty automatic if you have followed this guide with all my recommendations) The 2DS can't display 3D images, also doesn't feature the upgraded features of its newer brothers. This means there's only one Circle Pad, one pair of shoulder buttons, and no built-in Amiibo support. You'll have to buy a separate NFC reader to use Amiibo with this model. Notably, the 2DS uses a standard SD card, not a microSD card. It comes with a 2GB card installed.
