Some cia files, like 0004013000001503.cia, are SAFE_MODE system modules. Can't we skip those in the downgrade? A sysUpdater crash while installing one of them might be causing the full bricks. (Otherwise just ignore this, I just thought it made sense)

EDIT: Also, all of them were never updated anyway (o3ds), why are they needed?

Read the first post, if you dont have a Japanese 3DS you don't need to worry about it. Assuming you did you would just open the archive track it down and delete that cia file.

What do you mean by open archive? Are you able to do that within the program mentioned in the OP?

    Some shovel ware with low ratings you might enjoy more than the ratings would sugest

    Cruisn on the Wii is one of my personal examples of that, it's considered one of the worst games of all time, I loved it and completed it several times.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    The trick for me was to go into the settings and crank up the Wiimote sensitivity to the max and it gets twitchy but you can win that way lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lots of other games I enjoyed that reviews would say otherwise lol
