Excuse me guys, but this is something i need to ask about your opinion because i havent hear absolutely anything about with all the A9HL stuff (which for the moment is brilliant seeing all A9HL Work on the GW post).



What the hell is happening with GW Time Machine? It was the real catch for users at the begining of their announcements (first it was 10.3 support, then downgrading proper tool) expecting to have a free softbricks tool to go to 9.2

Works fine? Its really completely stable? Does it allow you to downgrade to any FW or only 2.1 for OTP? Is useful to use for just going to 9.2? It needs the "look on that iso site" FW cias files pack?

What about softbricks? Its really the promised no-risk tool for downgrading or is PlaiSysUpdater still the way to go?

Dont know if the leaked Alpha version will receive some fixing or the app wont be touched. It can be already used with no fears?

Thanks for your atention! (My apologies if theres already a Post for this matter, Ive been following all what i could and i didnt see anything really specific about).

The current version of GW Time Machine only has updating to 10.3 that is save. and it's only for emuNAND downgrading/updating. You still need 9.2 sysNAND. PlaiSysUpdater is better as it almost never really bricks anymore, whereas the GW time machine is known to have caused bricks. It doesn't allow you to only get your OTP either, if you want to get it, don't get it with GW as it will lock you into always needing your GW card inserted. And don't touch the alpha.

Do you own a Gateway? If you own a Gateway it would be best to follow Plailect's guide to get OTP and then use the modded version of SafeA9LHInstaller that can dual boot Gateway and arm9loaderhax.bin payloads which you can find here: http://gbatemp.net/threads/the-status-of-gateway-and-a9lh.427889/page-16#post-6386005

PlaiSysUpdater is still under investigation in GitHub because since the original Sysupdater there's an unknown failure that can softbrick the console under unknown circunstances. Plailect himself opened the petition for investigation.

With 11.0 out there, is still a lotery. But thanks for the info.

As you will only need to downgrade sysNAND once that has a really small chance of happening, more likely is that it will not complete it, from which you can just resume the downgrade.

Ive been reading about for days. Its just that im on 10.3 and waiting for GW to launch final release (yes i own GW cards).

Thats the problem. Plailect made that version taking the CPasJuste to install the cias in order to complete the downgrade if something went wrong so you can do it again without finding the 3DS softbricked... BUT... Still exists actual cases reporting that the tool shows how everything goes well on the instalation, giving no problems installing the titles... Till they find the app gets stuck and they need to shutdown the console.

After that, it was found that the console softbricked with no reason. Plailect opened the petition after that.

My N3DS XL was bought with a friend after Gateway advertising on january. Waiting is hard but we dont mind to wait only if GWTM turns to be a secure option. If not... Well, then we'll have to take the risk. Xd

If GW's final release is not going to support other payloads than their own then you would still be better off using the installer I mentioned, as otherwise you'll be able to run any homebrew that requires ARM9 kernel like Decrypt9, GodMode9, emuNAND9. I used it myself and I'm happy with this setup, it works well and isn't locked down like Gateway's offering.

You are right, i dont mind going directly to 2.1 and follow the Liomajor stuff for example, but i just wanted to be sure about FW "travelling" stuff.

So that is the question about opening the thread. I come from years of PSP Scene and jumping back from FW to FW or going ahead was secure and interesting.

I was expecting to finally obtaing a secure tool for the scene to trash with FW moving on 3DS (and yes, SysUpdater's stuff is still a great piece of work for us).

So thats the final point. Asking about GWTM being a 2.1 way or a real Sysupdater FW jumper. Guess Ill have to wait to find out.

    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant

    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
