I will need to update to 9.2 now?
Did you actually read the guide? Since you are on 1.0.0-0, you need to do a cart update before you do anything else.

With 11.2 out now.. is it safe to update through System Settings if you're on Luma?
Yes, make sure you are on the latest version of Luma then update. Do not use nightlies.

Yes, 9.2.0-20 is the ideal firmware version to be on. I haven't tried the "legit trick", but you really should just buy it. It's a $5 game.

Is it okay to update once you reach the "Move EmuNAND" part of Plailect's A9LH guide, since there is now an 11.2 update?

Also, I cannot seem to get out of the HBL menu.
Every time the 3DS starts it goes to there, and there is no Luma3DS option in the HBL menu.

trying to get my old town i lost ages ago back. i was told to downgrade my browser. which im doing as soon as i make sure of the details

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------


oh and idk what ya mean by create emuNAND an downgrade. im on a9lh with lumas. i dont see why id need to downgrade to use something to get my old town back via dream address on acnl. pls explain
It will be more complicated to downgrade your browser on its own, plus you are likely to break stuff. You may find something in the future just won't work and nobody helping you is going to think of asking you whether you downgraded your browser because that's such a weird thing to do.

So, with the new firmware that just came out I was reading up on if it was safe to update, and I saw several mentions to make sure you are using the latest Luma3DS Stable and not nightly.

Well, my Luma3DS even stable was out of date, so I updated to the latest stable version of 6.3.1.7, and now I am confused.

The old version of Plailect's guide I followed mentioned to enable the options "SysNAND is updated" and "Force A9LH detection". These options are no longer there, and there are new options that the version version of the guide does not mention:
https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Installing-arm9loaderhax

It only mentions:
  • "Autoboot SysNAND"
  • "Use SysNAND FIRM if booting with R (A9LH)"
  • "Show NAND or user string in System Settings"
  • "Show GBA boot screen in patched AGB_FIRM"

Are these other two options no longer needed? I just want to make sure I don't accidentally enable (or not enable) something that could cause this update to actually update my FIRM and get me stuck on a non-hackable 3DS.

I can tell by the names what most of these four options do (though I am not sure what the point of booting SysNANMD FIRM by holding R is) but nothing seems to indicate any sort of update protection, unless that is something hard-coded that you cannot disable? (Or is that what this last option, "Patch SVC/service/archive/ARM9 access" is?).

Basically, what options do I have to choose (or make sure NOT to choose) to safely update on Luma3DS 6.3.1?

Non-dev Luma will not let you break your console by updating so don't worry :-) (maybe dev Luma stops you as well). Worst that can happen is maybe you get a black screen on boot which you could fix by deleting the config so you can reselect options.

It's not bricking my console I am worried about (well, I guess that too now that you brought it up... but that's a different issue), I just wanted to know if the protection so I can install an official update without it disabling A9LH/overwriting FRIM is hard-coded and thus I can't accidentally disable it through any of these options. Because I want to install 11.1.0-35 update that was just released and I realized my Luma3DS was pretty out of date so I updated it, and there are different options now from what I had before.

That's what I meant.

I have a O3DS on 11.2.0-35U with A9LH.
I have a N3DSXL on the same firmware, but no hax.

My question is, can I downgrade the XL without a hardmod. Or is that still being figured out?
If so, what steps would I need to take to make that happen?
Thanks in advance.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
