I have seen cases of a9lh users that cannot restore their nand backups to a bricked nand, so really a9 isn't brick proof 100% I have a9lh+gw emunand if I brick and can't restore my emunand I have a second chance with the sysnand,
by the way a9lh don't make a full wipe of the nand before install the backup?? like Android for a clean installation.

wat

can you show me these cases? as long as payloads can be booted from a9lh, then it can be fixed, even without a working NAND dump.

what do you mean?

In Android phones is recommended wipe cache and all other data before the installation of new rom for reduce the chance of errors and clean data installation, the other cases are in this same section, I'm on the phone now so can't search for them but are maybe 5, other users recommend hard mod to fix it.

pd sorry bad Eng.

3DS isn't Android.

There are no "cache" or "data" partitions. A NAND backup is quite literally the entire contents of the NAND, not a per-file backup. Think of it like an ISO image for a CD.

Glad they updated it. I wonder if they'll ever get around to adding the FIRM protection needed so we don't have to type out "don't update sysnand in gateway mode" a million times.

The Luncher.dat of 3.7.2 and 4.2b is the same. you can't boot in GW without L+R+Select

Quick question, I'm on 3.7.1
Want to update to 11.1 emunand from 11.0.

Should I just update my launcher.dat?

I don't want the L R Select press change. Mine boots a9lh straight to emu gateway. I want it to stay that way.

Thanks for the answer.

Your answer is in bold. If someone bricks a SYSNAND doing something stupid with a Gateway, there's no booting a9lh. If someone bricks using a fake/clone such as the DSTWO Plus (a 'brick code' brick), the only tools I know of require a linux-based os (a Raspberry Pi works well) and a hard-mod to be able to flash their backup.

    some of the best selling games on the switch are wii u ports (that are priced way too high

    @ColdBlitz, i forgot breath of the wild released for the Wii u

    $60 for a game that's a decade old might be unheard of on PC but actually is not uncommon on consoles

    especially Nintendo because they only ever lower the price of games when they do a greatest hits/platinum hits/players choice re-release
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and the HD collections released for 7th gen consoles too
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but they don't seem to have done any of those for the switch yet and maybe never will
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I think we all forgot breath of the wild released for the wii u tbh

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, tbh the HD collections are more justified since they include more than just 1 game per copy
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ I read that non-binary people identify as a blend of male and female. The point is i think i'm a blend of those and thus non binary
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Non-binary people are those who don't identify themselves exclusively as male or female.
