Is there still a chance of bricking even if No$gba works with my nand backup?
I've never heard of such a case.

Just make sure that you encrypt your nand correctly.

No$GBA doesn't emulate bootrom errors (since bootrom hasn't been dumped. :P ) So bad RSA/hash of stage2 bootloader won't prevent No$GBA from attempting to boot the nand image. But if Launcher was corrupt, it would emulate the stage2 errors/RSA checks correctly however.

Comparing nand dumps with HxD I found differences between them. Running on no$gba debugger with "Enable all warnings" ON (Options / Emulation setup / Xcept / Overrride exceptions / enable all warnings) pauses emulator almost immediately with such as "wrire to read only memory, Bad Jump Address" , etc. Default settings make things run smoothly. So emulator runs different nand dumps efficiently but writing one of them back to hardware will run the same way? which dump will be the one that is the exact dump of the real NAND. I believe Harmod is the only thing that gives accurate dumps.

Thats what keeps me from downgrading my DSi, just have ONE!

Btw anyone knows what is the versions of the launcher, settings and whitelist on 1.4?
Apparently it's the same version than the dsi downgrading thread. Not sure thought.

Nope. The only thing that could make a software dump bad is the SD card ( or maybe software error but it's not likely )

    Sorry you're not good with Windows Sylvester. lol
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Because co-pilot doesnt even show up on my pc. Not in the taskbar, not in the start menu search, and the option in settings to turn it on and off in the taskbar is not even displayed.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Well, I complain about Microsoft all the time. You seem to enjoy it, no offense. If you like using Windows, that's fine by me.

    Being able to disable copilot is not an opinion. lol. its a fact that it can be disabled.

    Yet you just laugh about it when I tell you, like Im lying

    People can dislike Windows all they want. But I will call out the over-exaggerations, misconceptions, half truths, and lies about it.

    Tired of the entire "BUT BUT BUT WINDOWZ SPYWARE!!!" thing too, when the same people give out tons of their personal info to plenty of other companies but say nothing about it.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @RedColoredStars, Companies do the exact same thing with other companies as well, so it's not just Microsoft. There are 3rd-parties like 'data brokers'.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    I'm 52 years old and one of my jobs in life was marketing research. Im well aware. I've been online for around 30 years. Everyone and their grandmother already has my personal information. One more having my email address isn't ruining my life or even effecting me in any way whatsoever.

    $300 back last year from Rakuten for allowing them to track my purchase. I'll take the money for them to know I bought a bunch of stuff for my cat and some video games. lol

    @K3Nv2, Exactly.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    And for people to say things like "But I use all fake info". No, they don't. lol. They use fake info for all of their banking and online shopping? Fake shipping address, fake payment info? lol
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Fake name, address and payment info for internet service, etc? lol. Ill say it again. Everyone freaks out about OMG WINDOWS!! But crickets on anything else they do.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Other windows stuff people complain about hypocritically too. Like "But but but Windows bundle junk apps!!!!" Yeah?? So do many Linux distributions. Dont like it? Use one without them. Same with windows. Either find a pre-made version without the bundled stuff, or very easily make your own installer with what you want and do not want.
  • console @ console:
    I agree with all above! Microsoft made a biggest mess with us and everyone! I wish Microsoft company should be fired then lost it. LOL :rofl2:
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    I dont like the stuff added either. I have zero use for copilot or recall. But I also just simply disable it and move on.

    Always disabled dumb cortana from day 1 too.
