Homebrew Is using the charger during a hardmod NAND dump safe?

I dont see why it would affect anything as long as you're not soldering the power connections to the pins bypassing any of the conditioning circuitry.

The 3DS still uses the battery even when it charges, it just knows when there's power going to the battery and thus tells you :P

I thought I was told it was probably safer to have the console plugged in when reading/writing with the hardmod. so there's that.

Just to be safe power-wise? Will it mess something up?

I'd be wary of doing so unless you're also charging via a USB to power cable from the same PC... In theory both the hardmod ground and the ground lead from a charger should be at the same potential voltage and it shouldn't matter, but if for some reason that isn't the case, things will go wrong _very_ quickly.

Hmm isn't hardmod supposed to remove battery?
Nope, hardmod is when someone wires up an SD reader to be able to read/write the integrated eMMC storage used for the sysNAND. The 3ds units that don't use batteries are the store demo units that people get ahold of from time to time.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
