I keep reading about avoiding the 5.5.2 update with DNS-Settings. As far as I understand only the browser entry point is fixed. That brings me to these two questions:
  • Is it safe to update if I have the Homebrew Launcher Channel (transformed DS game) installed? No autoboot stuff, no RedNand. Will this channel still work after the update?
  • Will the games installed with WUPInstaller still work on 5.5.2?
If both questions can be answered with "yes", is there a reason not to update?

I see. Just for the sake of knowing: What about the installed games? Would they still work after the update?
As far as I understand, yes, they should still work, but I haven't updated personally. VC, eshop exclusives, and games with DLC would still obviously require a method of running sigpatches in order to work.

Is the corruption of the Haxchi installation after the update a common problem?
Not at all, I just don't want to have a problem later down the line, and there seems to be no reason to update. You can still play online or do anything else without updating.

I second that! Absolutely no point in updating. No game requires 5.5.2, and online gameplay works fine on 5.5.1. Updating to 5.5.2 just removes one entrypoint that could prove useful if some problems occur down the line.

You should stop giving out bad advice. There is always chance anywhere in the process for something to go wrong. But telling people that just by updating to 5.5.2 can cause corruption will cause false info to spread.

That user said not to update. I think he/she is saying there is no reason to update yet. Verdict is still out on 5.5.2.

    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.

    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.
