Well, it's arm9 code execution on cold boot, even earlier than with menuhax, it's technically unpatchable, but it requires an OTP dump (which is what we're trying to get by downgrading to <3.0)

So there is nothing developed that takes advantages of this yet? Sounds like it's really useful! How does one go about acquiring the OTP?

https://github.com/delebile/arm9loaderhax This takes advantage of it... OTP is acquired through a downgrade to <3.0 and dumping using cubic ninja, oot3d or something else (a few people are working on that "something else" right now)

The screen won't turn on at all, if that's what you're looking for. If you get something to do a firmlaunch or force a shut down, that's usually a good sign.

Right, but shouldn't the screen come on if a firmlaunch happens?

Alright but I don't get what arm9loaderhax does?? It just allows arm9 code to be executed on startup? I thought we had that already with CFW on 9.2? I have cubic ninja but how would I dump my OTP? As far as I see there is no application to even use...

Yeah i realize the screens won't come on.
Just need something to actually run/show me some signs of life / that it installed ok (i assume it is installed ok as is turns on, unless it's some weird brick?).

Right, we do have arm9 code exec on 9.2.... this can be done on 10.5 (yep CFW on 10.5), it negates the need to use menuhax to coldboot into CFW, or use some other entrypoint (browser, cubic ninja, etc.) as for dumping your OTP, you downgrade to <3.0 and then use the QR codes (posted above) to dump the OTP

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
