I have two questions.
I have a 2ds with B9S and Luna on 11.3 with soundhax. Is it safe to do a system update?
I also have an o3ds with B9S and Luna on 6.3 with browserhax that I'm borrowing from a friend for a few months for a project. Same question as above. Any help would be appreciated.

(in refrence to Nintendo bricking your systen?n for cfw.

Still even if Ilegal, it doesn't necessarily mean we can do anything about it. For example in the US those 'warranty void if removed' stickers are unenforceable but companies illegally use the broken seal as a reason to not honor a warranty everyday Basically the law states that a company is not allowed to void your warranty just because you previously used a third party repair service (thus removing the sticker)

So tired, hope that made sense
.

meaning they legally can't. this is even more true in some states.

As stated in the OP post, it's safe to update. Back up your nand just in case.

Running Luma3DS CFW since 8.0 users are able to access HBL via any official app (a Rosalina Menu option), no more need for Luma3DS CFW users to inject FBI into H&S permanently.

Sounds like you dont have CFW on your system so it does not apply to you.
Oh. Of course, another CFW-only thing... I haven't paid attention to much CFW-related anything because I screwed up back at 11.3. Long (kinda) story. Nobody cares.
Speaking of which, 1. will upgrading to 11.6 require anything other than a new payload to use doodlebomb and 2. any chance of a 11.5-only exploit? I don't want to upgrade to 11.6 and then find out I missed another chance to finally get CFW.

Yeah I know a lot has changed I only came back recently myself.

Reading up on doodlebomb seems to have mixed information, some say it's still working if already working some say it's not working, I would say where you are right now.

No I don't think anything else will be released until the 3DS is discontinued to save exploits the few remaining exploits, this is mostly due to NTRBOOTHAX.

I would not upgrade at all, look at https://3ds.guide/ if you really want to keep access and other benefits you really want to get CFW by getting a recommended DS flash card (not Acekard 2i unless you have a DS/DS Lite)

If you go that route you will not have to worry about loosing access again, or if you don't want to buy a card ask who is near your area who could install B9S for you.

I have a card... only it's an r4i gold clone... ;-;
And I don't have a DSi or Powersaves. And having someone else do it isn't exactly an option for me, sadly. I might just have to buy a legit r4i and a powersaves or just suck it up and continue to use only HBL.

If you get one of the listed r4i card you won't need powersaves, it can be done from your 3DS directly

Only if the flashcart doesn't work in your firmware. For example the AK2I only works up to 4.3. But the R4i Gold works up to the latest.
Dang it, I was told I needed powersaves. ...so would a r4i clone work? It works as a flashcart just fine, so I'd really rather not brick the card.

Mine has the url r4i-sdhc.com on it. Turns out they sold a limited edition with the b9s installer preloaded. Maybe I could find a copy of the firm floating around from that. I know there is one because of a picture on the site. (should be r4i-sdhc.firm)

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
