Just dont select autoboot on sysnand, correct?



I dont want to use sysnand, only emunand


Nand backup will backup all the games and saves? But that will be the size of the card?
Dude - inject EmuNAND to SysNAND after A9LH - why would you keep using EmuNAND?

It will backup the registers of the games being installed, to have a full backup you need to backup your SD card too
ok, it will keep the registry but after restore the nand i'll have to install all the games again?

Well, because i think that updating the emunand is more safe, or i'm i wrong? if i update the emunand, the all i can loose is the emunand, if i update the sysnand i could lost all the hack (in the future). My idea of emunand is having a backup of the original nand and do all i want on that backup.

a9lh + Luma3DS has update protection

Also. If you also restore your sd you wont have to reinstall the games

1)Use emunand9 or Decrypt9 to get a NAND backup, also save files from your SD
4)The guide will tell you
5)No

What do you need help with?

I thought there was just CFW. I didn't realise there were different CFWs!

Do some run some programs and others are required for others? Do some offer more functionality than others?

Why isnt there just one that is the best and does everything?

Huh.... Read the original thread.... it's exactly about that.

Of course there isn't a single CFW. Different people have different views on what to do and how to do it.

That's all explained in the main post. And the point of this thread isn't to say which CFW is the best, but to allow the user to understand and decide which CFW is best for them.

Yeah that was my point :P I thought it was all simple and straightforward but actually it's really confusing :O

Is it my wording? Is there something I can improve to make this more approachable?

There's no objective "best CFW" among the current ones. They have different intended userbases as explained by the original post. Corbenik, for example, is meant for powerusers and developers, while Luma3DS is the most used one and meant to be easy to set up and use by anyone.

No, i reckon your post is fine! I wasn't criticising it, i was just lamenting the state of reality. Nevermind, it's cool :) I'll just use Luma :)
Alright ^_^ I am always trying to make sure this post is simple and easy to follow. So I am always open to suggestions.

Why lamenting, though? You make it sound as if having options is a bad thing.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.
