Well, it sounds like this is the last update this card will be getting. As well, I'm doubting most people will be competent enough to pull off this update on their own.

Most likely and I've never had to cut any signal lines on anything before so this not 'noob' friendly I suppose, this was very new to me and I almost chopped the side of board!
I guess everyone should stick with a DSTwo or something

I'm getting a 400 - Bad Request error on the source. Perhaps you could post up a pic of that signal line to be cut?

Next update: Please connect C2312312541234 to B213123123, making sure to connect to D12312 and E532 along the way, but stay off of F53432!

Seriously though, if you have to actually tamper with the hardware, then it's practically a last ditch attempt. Anything afterwards is pretty much bye bye.

Actually, I have both a R4i Gold 3DS and a Supercard DSTWO, so I wasn't a "cheapskate." Your joke is still terrible.

I agree, it looks like everything around there has melted and has burn marks.
