Oooook I now see how different it is haha

BTW @MassExplosion213 you never did answer my question in this post:

I'm to familiar with this process, I know I'll need a CTRNAND XORpad (I'll be generating that soon) and I know I'm going to need to extract the contents from the CIAs, probably with Decrypt9... after that is where I'm not sure on what exactly to do

So i managed to downgrade (what appears to be successfully) to 2.2.0-2E with a pack i get elsewhere which appears complete which is good.
However, then comes the QR code part. Currently trying the 2.1 QR code with CN which sort of works, as in i scan it and it seems to read it (top screen clears to black) then nothing.
@Normmatt do i need a different QR code to work on 2.2 or does it just take X amount of tries to get it to finish loading? Haven't tried the 1.0 or 1.1 QR codes yet but i guess they probably won't work.

Would you like to try some freshly created 1.0E cias? :P

Would you mind sharing a search string so we can find these CIAs?

I had the same problem until I was told to have both the code.bin from this thread and also the load.bin from the archive linked in the same post as the qr code in the SD root. Then it worked first try.

0x100*
the complete otp is 108 bytes but the last 8 bytes represent the twl console id and are not really needed
The OTP is 0x100, yes, but I was talking about the N3DS keystore at 0x12C00, which is the secret_sector.bin that the arm9loaderhax installer requires. :P

Oh well, there are plenty of leaks online anyway there's not really the need of dumping that too :P

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
