If you have a backup that you've made after installing A9LH then you can restore A9LH with a hardmod. Even if you don't have a A9LH backup, you can still restore an older backup with a hardmod to go back to a lesser FW and then hack your console again. Those are your two only choices.

Im not very updated. Why A9 stopped working? I didnt update the console. I didnt do nothing that overwrites the firm.
On every startup, 11.3 attempts to overwrite A9LH. This normally means absolutely nothing because A9LH boots before the firmware and protects itself. This coupled with auto-shutdown if .bin files aren't present/no SD card makes it that in almost all circumstances, you cannot run a setup where A9LH is overwritten. However, Gateway's version of A9LH is sadly one such exception because it does NOT protect the firmware. Nor does Gateway offer a warning about this anywhere on the website.

It is a known fact that booting sysNAND with Gateway's loader on 11.3 bricks the console. Because there is no protection, the firmware attempts to remove A9LH. Perhaps it is trying to patch vulnerable files. Whatever the case, the result is corruption. Which renders the console unbootable.

You have an O3DS, the brick part applies to N3DS

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
