Better buy a brand new 2DS, most, if not all of the old bundle ones are under firmware 9.2

that's exactly what I did. get any brand new 2DS except Yo-Kai Watch bundles. my MK7 bundle came with 6.0.0-12U.

if you particularly want to use emulators, though, definitely get a New 3DS.

Questions:

1. Since ntrcardhax is hardware based exploit, can it be patched?

2. What can we do after we calculate AES key of the console?

So i can safely buy the cheapest n3ds i find on the internet. Im waiting for this, I hope there's no bricking issue when you downgrade.
Same here! That's what I'm worried about the most. I don't want to ruin my O3DS by downgrading.

  • arm9loaderhax is a way to inject a payload directly into a N3DS bootrom (just after the the firm boot). This is like a CFW coldboot N3DS-only.
Bootrom isn't messed with, firmware0 has a hax payload put into it, since it fails the hash check firmware1 is put into memory and, since its smaller, the hax payload stays in memory and is (hopefully) executed... Also one of the keys in NAND is replaced so firm0 and 1 decrypt to garbage

EDIT: I believe it's also not just N3DS that can do it
