There seems to be some controversy surrounding the new optless a9lh install method for the New 3ds. Let's get a more quantified assessment of how dangerous/awesome this method is so we can be better informed of the risk, or lack thereof.
Let's wait till the poll closes before we rush to judgment.Appears to be safe based on the poll.
I just love they think it wasn't tested before it went in the guide. It was tested before the release was even built.
Do you mean windows updates in general? were they just release them and hope for the best Lol.Perhaps they are just assuming it is the same as Windows 10 updates.

Old 3DS can't go any further than it is right now, unfortunately. only exception could be a possible bootrom exploit.I wish we can do OTPless on O3DS

I've been wondering, what would a bootrom exploit allow people to do?Old 3DS can't go any further than it is right now, unfortunately. only exception could be a possible bootrom exploit.
Otp has nothing to do with freeshopHow curious.
A month ago, the OTP method and CTR downgrade was necessary. This seems to be cleaner.
I tried it recently with a spare n3ds, and nothing's wrong at all.
Then again, i think the fact that you have access to your OTP and console keys would be helpful should anything happen, either user or software side, but this method isn't bad at all. The games work, the ds games work; the only thing i haven't tested is Freeshop, and i think that not having the keys to work in tandem with the enctitlekeys is not gonna make it work, but hey! Who knows? Maybe it will!
Still, the previous method wasn't as bad at all. It was a clean and quick method to get the OTP, the keys and the downgrade, as long as you used the correct Decrypt9 AND the correct actions for those, as the guide suggested (hell, even the program had the safety routines automatized for you). The only risk was trying to put the n3DS in sleep mode while downgraded, and that would be a human mistake as well.
Quite a good addition to simplify the method, still, i think that it shoud be left to option to do OTP. Not gonna lose any sleep for not doing it, though.
