Hey GBAtemp, it's been a while since I picked up my 3ds and I lost track of the 3ds scene.
What I have:
- 9.2 N3DS
- gateway card with like 9.8 emunand
- CN cart
What I found out
- arm9loaderhax
- some kind of automated gw installer for that in their 4.0 beta
- some cfw called luma3ds which sounds like the most reliable one now
What I want to know
- should I do the downgrade + extract etc manually and install the luma3ds cfw, or should I let everything be automated by gw tools? Is there a reason I shouldn't?
Pretty confused because I'm not sure how much the GW method does and the thread on it were full of shitposting.
If I misunderstood anything, do point it out. i haven't finished my research and caught up with the scene yet.
Thanks!
EDIT: Apparently this thread is relevant to my question too
