when i hacked my N3DS i followed the older guide where you downgrade to 2.1 and risk bricking if you accidentaly put it to sleep, in other words the non-otpless method..lucky for those who are into 9.2 N3DS now where you could follow the guide and have it set up in less than an hour.. there is really no safe method as the risk of bricking is still there even with the newer guide..i think you just brick your device faster this time around if you are not careful..im not saying this to discourage anyone but my point is i understand why some members here are hesitant to switch from their current setup..luck also has a huge factor here as many followed the guide and still brick..
