I've had a hell of a time with my N3DS on 11.6 that I still don't have CFW on. I tried to install ntrboot with my r4sdhc gold pro but I clicked on r4isdhc. I realized this after I had already started the install process and at the end of the first part, it asked if I wanted to install ntrboot or whatever so I clicked No thinking I had a second chance. It went to the 3ds power off screen and now my 3ds won't recognize my flash card. Am I SOL or is there any way to recover from this that isn't buying a new one?

You need to find a second modded 3ds to unbrick your flashcart. Also, have you tried it anyway just in case? It isn't supposed to recognize the flashcart even if it works since it isn't really a flashcart anymore. Put the files on the sd card, hold the button combination, make sure the magnet is in the right spot and just try it a few times.

I hadn't tried it because I didn't wanna brick it if something went wrong, but it didn't and I got it to work anyway, thank you!

Not sure if I'm allowed to distribute that here, but yes you can find a backup probably somewhere. I don't know where to get it even if it is allowed here. Just make sure you find a backup of the actual cart and not just the sd card files.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
