Stickied!
Wait, seriously? Thanks! :hrth::toot:
Maybe consider removing some of the other stickies? Like maybe the emuNAND ones - they are less relevant now with updated sysNAND being the norm (or at least less relevant to a majority of people).
Off topic, the cat in the glasses has a point.

Interesting article, Swiftloke. Informative and accessible to all. The only negative aspect I found is the condescending comments such as "Pretty stupid on Nintendo's part". Nintendo is not stupid. They just make mistakes, like everyone. Think of the interactions between Nintendo and the hacking scene as a chess game. Both players are intelligent. But mistakes happen, which the opponent will naturally take advantage of.

K... I know this stuff (don't remember where I read it but somewhere yes...). The thing is A9LH. We need one. And that's exactly what people like Smea will be working on. If, at least by 2017, or by the release of NX, we get an A9LH, then it would be the best thing yet. First thing to do is calm down and think whether we should downgrade. I'd say, it's optional cause A9LH simply gives access to everything (almost) for which we would need to downgrade. The best is:
1. If you want to install CIAs or do cool CFW stuff (like CTGP-7 through NTR-CFW), I'd recommend not to downgrade
2. Go to the WikiTemp Page with all CFWs list, and choose one (I think Luma3DS / CakesFW is a good option)
3. Go get FBI.3dsx and run it through Homebrew Launcher to install any legit / un-legit CIAs
4. Enjoy!

That's what my plan is if Smea of any of the Devs release A9LH for 11.0

Plus, in conclusion, I understand that it was TOTALLY my fault in updating my 3DS just 'cause I wanted to play MK7 Online (when I was on 9.3 - my Original FW which came pre-installed on my 3DS - I could've just installed Homebrew on my 3DS, downgraded to 9.2, injected FBI to sysNAND H&S App, and used it to install my favorite CIAs like SSB43DS - my bad :sleep:)

And for anyone asking me why I gave such a huge reply to this post, the reason is:

OP referred me to this post in one of my threads explaining why downgrading from 11.0 to 9.2 is impossible without Hardmod / DSiWareHax.

Anyways, I give on downgrading as of now....:wink::wink::wink:
smea doesnt even do 3DS stuff anymore LOL. Stop pretending to know things, you're misinforming others.

By people like Smea, I meant the Devs, not Smea himself. So your accusation is wrong. I'm not misinforming anyone.

1. If you want to install CIAs or do cool CFW stuff (like CTGP-7 through NTR-CFW), I'd recommend not to downgrade
2. Go to the WikiTemp Page with all CFWs list, and choose one (I think Luma3DS / CakesFW is a good option)
3. Go get FBI.3dsx and run it through Homebrew Launcher to install any legit / un-legit CIAs
4. Enjoy!
This is what I'm getting at. You might confuse people into thinking they can do that on 11.0. :unsure:

He is right, though, @Gaming796. You're misinforming people. I can see how people might think you can do all that CIA stuff already on 11.0. Please stop.
Well, personally I couldn't understand a word of what he was going on about so I managed I avoid being misinformed :-p

nice, but this needed a thread? or all that text i the op?
why not 'arm9 prevents us from installing lower version titles'?
it's not new information etc, could this thread not have been made for every not yet hackable fw until real hax were released?

Because hopefully this will help make it clear to everyone constantly asking about 11.0 downgrading exactly WHY its likely to never happen.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

So the man icks her up, and throws her into the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
