[QUOTE="jmhannz, post: 7220210, member: 419719"] Ok so heres my newb question. I have a 3DS XL, on 11.2 but now 11.3 since I finished the guide. I am trying to wrap my head around what I did step by step so I can understand more. I used this guide [URL]https://3ds.guide/[/URL] It's going to sound stupid but I did it step by step and I want to know what I did so maybe I can make future backups etc. From what I am understanding I did was I downgraded my firmware to 2.0 I guess using CTRTransfer, backup my firmware on 2.0 w my device key(serial?) so if I ever need to go back regardless of firmware also saved it to my desktop and a cloud service in case needed in case of brick I guess? then updated to 11.3 w/ my ARM9 hack so I have Luma, FBI, etc and CFW.. I understand Luma is the CFW That allows this stuff to function such as FBI etc. and FBI to install CIA files yes, but the arm and decrypt and godmode etc all confuse me, ctrtransfer. I just need to know what these tools are generally for.... At the end of the guide I'm on 11.3, I have luma, I have FBI, and Homebrew so I guess I am custom firmed. Things are working as expected. Next noob question - would the device work without the SD card in? whats the device physically pull from the SD card on boot Next - if I want to make a clone of my SD card to future proof myself in case my SD dies is that a smart idea if the 3DS needs it to boot now?, and to make a backup of an SD card (win32diskimager?) - i used this for Raspberry Pi's. would this be ok as it copies all partitions exactly as it is in the card. LumaUpdater I see it has dailies, I am on the latest GitHub whatever that means, September stable, I don't want nightlies or whatever I like just stable releases I am boring... so when theres an update use this? FUTURE UPDATES - still avoid at all cost unless approved all over the internet? Looking at this as well FAQ on Reddit and I'm not even sure what I have, I know SysNAND is the internal chipped storage w/ my CFW? and the emuNAND is the physical SD? In the guide it talks about bypassing the emuNAND and patching sys? No clue...

I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
