Making a final sysnand+a9lh.bin dump to keep on my PC. Then I'll be all done. :)

Is it safe now to update beyond 9.2U for this 2DS, now that I have A9LH installed?

I have followed this guide and everything seems fine except when I hold L while booting I get black screens and my N3DS freezes. I am using Luma and holding L while booting should load emunand. Is this normal? My N3DS shows Sys 10.7.0-32U in settings but it has FBI installed is able to install CIS.

If you follow the guide to the dot, you removed emuNAND so of course it'll load to a black screen.

Yeah, I ended up with an upgraded 10.7U emunand transferred to Sysnand, and I love it. Not having an Emunand to fall back on kind of sucks, but since I'm now brick-proof, I can just restore my sysnand from emuNAND_formatted.bin without worries.

If it bothers you, just use emuNAND9 to create a new emuNAND. It's not hard and it only takes ~5 minutes.

Nah, I'm not bothered by it really. But I am going to invest in a 64GB SD card. Any recommendations for brands or speed?

Samsung seems to be a brand that many people like. SanDisk is another that will work just fine. Just get a class 10 (which is the default for many it seems now) for sure.

Instead of class 10, is UHS 1 any good? (Does anything above class 10 matter?)

Tbh, I'm not the guy to ask about sd cards. Although I highly doubt a 3ds utalizes a UHS to its fullest potential. Get it if you want, but I don't think it'll make a huge difference.

As a newbie on 3ds hack, I followed this guide and thankfully everything went smooth. So what do i need to know from now on? Is it safe to update whenever a new update comes? Is it safe to play online? Is it safe to link my nnid and using eshop ?

With Luma3ds, you should be able to update anytime now. And playing online is fine (cia) as long as you don't do something stupid like use cheats and get yourself flagged and banned. And linking your nnid is ok.

Am I correct in thinking that after following this guide and running a cfw sysnand with no emunand, upgrading to a new SD card basically just involved formatting it, and copying the files from one to another?
