Go tell that to my 3DS because it happened.

I can't believe that you ran a DSi game and THAT is what updated you. From just plain looking at things from the realm of all worldly possibilities, a DSi game does not contain the necessary code to update your 3DS. It just doesn't. Maybe something else happened, but that honestly could not have been it.

DSiware cannot update your console (without some hacky method), you messed with something else. Case and point.
Alright, I had this working and it wasn't until I launched that game when something happened. I was having issues before launching DSiware games (to be correct shantae risky's revenge, which I bought a long ass time ago,) until that point.
Did you restore a full emuNAND backup to sysNAND by any chance?
I did.

You overwrote FIRM0 and FIRM1, and thus A9LH. You have to ONLY replace CTRNAND, TWLN, TWLP and AGBSAVE, NOT FIRM0 and FIRM1 (and they're all included in a NAND backup).

I see on Step 4 it says to dump and reinject the partitions separately. I guess you misread or got misinformation somewhere else.
I'll take the latter.
Either way, it still appears that I am fucked.

You're on 10.5 sysNAND now? I've downgraded my 3DS from 10.5. I could downgrade yours too, or maybe you could hardmod it yourself.
I lack the tools and skill to hard mod my system. The only thing I can do send it out or find someone locally who knows what they are doing, which seems unlikely.

That's what I was referring to, sending it to me. I would just solder a temporary hardmod and then close back your system without a visible trace.

Since 10.6 doesn't break emuNAND, and AuRei patch firm updating, upgrading to 10.6 in sys should be fine.

    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".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    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

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
