Any idea why it is demeaning?

I would say is cause it has a racist innuendo, i asked directly a couple japanese friends and they dun like it.

I have a variable tempurature iron now. I was going to go at 620w, but should I go lower? 60/40 rosin lead solder is what I am using.

620w :blink: there's no need to melt the copper man, only the solder lol go down to 11w with 1mm (if curved even better) tip, that's what i use and never burned anything off. Even if u dun have a steady hand and slip it by mistake, it's such a low temperature that it can't unsolder the smd around by touching them just a second or two.
 
Tbh you can use whatever wire you like.....(within reason :P), I know a few people have used an old IDE cable, but for an XL just any thin wire you have lying around

Would someone tell me what kind of wires are soldered to the 3DS XL? Total noob here :ph34r:

If you want to do permanent hardware mod, don't use IDE cable wires - i had problems with wires from IDE cable - it worked for reading/writing NAND but when charger was connected the console was very unstable - hangs, blue screens & etc
The best wire to use is kynar wire AWG30

There isn't any real reason IDE cables would cause any issues, unless the soldering was a bit off, or they where placed somewhere that interfered with something else, but yeah kynar wire is better any easier to use imo

The wattage doesn't matter when its a temperature regulated iron
 
... so ur saying that a regulated 620w iron will use 620w even at lower temps? That's why i said go down on the wattage to a temp. equivalent to 11w or something as low, i dun have a station so i dunno what temp. my 11w iron is, but i wouldn't use a higher wattage iron, or the higher equivalent temp. in a solder station.

Nope, just typed it too fast. I meant 620 degrees F. :P

Typos are so much fun.
 
Can someone tell me where in Germany I can oder one of these:


What is the name of that thing anyway?

Or can someone link me to something else I can use instead?
 
Hello tempers,

at first I like to mention: Yes I tried the search function, but it wasn´t successfull.
I would be happy if someone could pass me a link, to the answer of my question, if it exists.

I dumped the 4.5E native firm nand.bin with GW2.1b dump option serveral times to make sure it went right. I compared by content and md5´s, too. The result is different each time, no nand matches the other. The size seems to be stable (954 MB (1.000.341.504 Bytes). I changed the SD and even did a format before dumping, to exclude a corrupted SD, but got the same issue.
Is this just normal? Thanks

IIRC dumps are slightly different each time.
Try using a program to compare the dumps.
 
Yeah it's normal, a single change to the nand means a different MD5 as the DS needs to be on it changes files On the nand so you will never really get an identical dump
 
but how can I validate the nand without soldering? Is there any way to know that the dump is valid? The difference seems to be huge, since total commander is complaining, when I try to compare by content.

You might be able to use the NAND tool to inject it into your emuNAND. If it works there, it should be valid. Just a theory though.
