A word of WARNING for those who want to get their 3DS fixed.

Yes, I know this is a blog, but I think it's too important.

On November 18th, I sent my N3DSXL to the Nintendo customer service to get my wobbly circle pad and faulty c-stick fixed. Days kept passing, and today I decided to give them a call to see how everything goes. As they said, they'll fix my c-stick and maybe my wobbly circle pad too, but this isn't what this blog is about. What I want to say is:

SDLESS LUMA A9LH DOESN'T ''HIDE'' YOUR HACKING ACTIVITIES.

Before sending my 3DS, I removed the SD so that the service people couldn't find my stuff and thinking that they would access a clean, pirate free sysNAND. Well, they know, my dudes. They know about SDless Luma. To quote the guy I spoke with: ''Have you installed any software not legally endorsed by Nintendo? Because putting in an SD card, gave me a weird menu(He knows for sure that's Luma's sysNAND).'' For a moment there, I lost my goddamn breath and just said ''No, I haven't done anything like that.'' He just said he would check into it.

I don't want to be a fearmonger, but stay vigilant, people. I am scared as fuck and shaking right now, to say the least.

I'm sorry, but you have to understand I want you people to stay safe. Maybe my country's Nintendo service happens to be just very clever, I don't know.

Of course luma in ctrnand isn't clean. It adds an extra file and config in NAND which clearly shouldn't be their.


The only people who got away with a9lh and fixing were a few people who used shadownand.

@Imacaredformy2ds I'll probably get it back and I don't think I'll get sued for that shit. I am just kinda scared here.

My bet is that they will give you the console unrepaired and banned. And... Where are you from?

    @Xdqwerty, People who create revival services for the Wii end up in disaster, same goes for Pretendo lol.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Too bad Excite Truck wasn't multi player :(
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Loved that game lol
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, sorry for the stupid suggestion I had in that thread
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Its fine
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
