Hacking Advantages to using a9lh?

[MartinDocNewland]

Titles would be like what are in downgrade packs when you downgrade to 9.2.

Right, I understand now. Well I got two months left to read up about it all so plenty of time lol

Thanks for your time

Ok cool. Yeah I'll be looking to install games that I have dumped myself (and probably a few games my brother owns) and I'm looking at installing the CIA versions of Retroarch cores. Also looking into playing DS games too (that I haven't figured out yet) so what are titles?

Titles are official system titles like if you're patching AGB or TWL or upgrading or downgrading

i would still use emunand since having it load from nand makes the chip wear out after a long time. An sd you can replace but a nand chip is not that easy.

I don't think this is a valid concern. I've never heard of a 3DS NAND getting worn out despite being around for 5 years now but have heard of plenty of SD cards getting corrupted with age.

well you never heard of games getting loaded from nand for 5 years in a row non stop. for collectors it is a valid concern. I'm a collector and i don't pirate but i use mods to preserve my systems and games so for me it's a big deal.

I am going to be honest, it's not that I don't believe you, but I've never heard of this happening before.

Wait a couple of years and you'll see the forums flooding with messages. Flash memory is flash memory and it will worn out if used a lot, be it a flashcard or nand.

I have a 4gb microsd card that just recently turned 10 years old. The paint on it has faded and is barely readable. It still works, despite 10 years of use

It's not the same as using games on it wich reads constantly.

Can I install A9LH on 2DS? Is it using the same fw 2.1?

No you have to downgrade to 2.1 to get the otp then upgrade back to 9.2 and then use safea9hl installer to install a9hl.

You probably won't. Games consoles and other electronics have been using flash nand for years and the number of r/w cycles they can handle over time is huge. It may sound morbid but your 3ds nand will probably outlive you I think.

playing games doesn't write anything to your nand...
when you save digital games, that goes to the sd card. (not dsiware but yeah)
the game play logs will be updated, stuff like that, but it's nothing at all to worry about!

But, we can install the A9LH on 2DS right?
I already installed A9LH on o3ds and n3ds, i just need confirmation that A9LH also can be installed on 2DS...

i never said anything about writing anywhere. just reading.

what is being read when you play games?
and, are you certain that read actions have an impact on the life on the 3ds's nand?

game consoles and other electronics use nand but they don't get used a lot. If you play games from it you get a lot more use out of it then other stuff that don't use it that often.

Actually, It was used for my M3 Real for several years, then as my personal backup for school, now it's used for installing different operating systems. It's very well used.
I am rather skeptical, because I have flash storage media that is well over 10 years old, that still work and I am still using every single day. I know they are bond to break down, but you are making it sound like the 3DS is going to shit the bed in like 5 years, which is something I don't see happening.
