Hacking Use flashcart for 11.0 downgrade?

I'm new to 3DS hacking, use to be a PC hacker... So once a Cart is loaded the NAND is blocked?
The entire useful part of DsiWareHax is that the DSi game is stored inside the NAND and has access to the NAND. If it's just running from a flashcart, it is just in a cartridge and has no access to the NAND, so can't do anything useful.
Edit: as a PC hacker, pretend you were exploiting a game that was stored on the hard drive and for some reason had permissions to do stuff with the OS which was also stored in the hard disk. Compare that to a game running off a floppy disk.
I don;t know if that is any good as an analogy because I don't know a lot about computers :-)

Basically you have to BUY THE GAME from eshop or else it won't work. That is all everyone is saying. :P
 
I am going to be honest, if it's not part of the guide and 9 times out of 10, it's not going to be a thing.
Well yeah, i still dunno why is hard to follow a guide, why people think they can find some alternative to it, unless it was listed then why try to find something unless you are the one making exploits? :ninja:

The guide has 2 options.
  1. Get a hard mod
  2. Downgrade with another mod 3ds with Field runners from eshop
  3. Find any other possible way to get this free downgrade that was not listed previously


If you don't wanna pay for hard mod or fieldrunners, then just don't pay and wait for new exploit to allow downgrades.

Of course i'm not saying this to be mean, sorry you have unfortantly 11.0 and want to mod the system but is not possble to do it with the traditional method like the other firmware versions before it. And no one knows when or if it will be possible.

Well as I stated above, I am new to 3DS hacking and was just asking simple questions. I also stated above I alreasy did a DSiWare downgrade meaning I paid for the game already and aren't looking for a "free downgrade"... As a PC hacker i am looking for other possible ways to do things rather than the "known and released" ways because they dont always get released.

If people know about them and would be able to answer your question by telling you about them then they would be released and part of the guide. If people don't know about them, then you'd have to be part of the subterranean hacking group that is developing it, or gain knowledge of the 3DS and develop it on your own.

I'm sorry if I sound mean (I mean to be informative, not mean)
This question was already asked at least 5 times, and either a quick search using the forum's built in search function (which IMO sucks so don't use it) OR going into google and typing "site:gbatemp.net *search topic*" would have given you the answer. Many people have thought about this already, and if it were that easy everyone would be buying a flashcard instead of needing to go through the hassle of system transfer.
When you run anything from slot 1, it does not have NAND read/write access. DSiWare installed on the 3ds does have that access because it is installed to the NAND itself, and it's not secured well so we can read/write the whole NAND from DSiWare
