So I bought this o3ds from a friend today, and turning it on and checking the FW raised some red flags. My friend knows absolutely nothing about 3ds exploits. He never exploited this or anything. Completely stock. And well... here are some pictures, what should I do?

Is it a franken-firmware? If so, I think the only thing to do is update it and then DsiWare downgrade it.
has to be because it has theme menu on <9.0.

Do a downgrade/ctrnand transfer if you can and it'll be normal again, not a huge problem.

I guess, but this system was 100% stock. No mods.
Is your friend the original owner?

I thought if you tried downgrading a frankenfirmware, that only worsened the problem. I'm probably wrong though.

I think so.
There's no real explanation, it has to have been downgraded to have the theme menu on anything less than 9.0. the browser version is wrong too, it should be -17 not -10. My bet is it has a downgraded browser (and presumably settings) for MSET (4.5.0-10), but that doesn't explain the theme menu (9.0.0-20) being there, or the amiibo options (9.6.0-24), or even why the system settings is showing 7.x.x because as far as I know there's nothing interesting that goes on there. Whoever's that was really did it up for you.

if you downgrade again, it'll only change the titles it missed the first time around. Either way, it cleans up the rest of it. Frankenfirmwares just make it a little weird to get into the browser sometimes if I recall.

depends on how screwed up the frankenfirm is. I mean, I've used a frankenfirmware as a daily driver before I had CFW so that I could continue to go online on purpose. Back then, my /r/3dshacks flair was "Proud FrankenFirmware User". Some frankenfirmwares can make the system unable to boot, some screw one app, some screw the browser.... frankenfirmware is any firmware with a mix of titles from different versions, I suppose. Anything can be wrong if you don't know which titles are wrong.

Most probably is a Franken-firmware made by a half update. He can try to run Decrypt9, if it does not boot, then try Browserhax :)

Better yet. On the Browser go to the settings and try to find the Browser version. Post it in here to see what browser does it have!

So I tried browser has with no luck. Connects to WiFi fine outside of browser. opening browser greets me with the, "You must accept user agreement"-blah blah blah screen twice, once the browser opens it tries to connect to the last page I opened, and fails because it disconnected from WiFi. I've tried re-configuring my WiFi, clearing browser save data, and other stuff. But nothing works.
BTW:Agreement screen shows up twice EVERY time i open the browser.

Uh, maybe its trying to open 2 browsers? This is really weird now. Only way i can see out from this is trying to install Ninjhax 1 since it does not need a browser(Hoping that the update wasnt pass 9.2)...

Can't get on Ninjhax 1 website, link?

since they have a -10 browser they might have downgraded settings too, and then they should be able to use MSET to load decrypt9 and do an update that way. Worth a shot, at least.

do you have cubic ninja or a DS flash cart?

7.2 one and the one with a -10 browser both crash.
maybe you could try ocarina of time 3D, but I'm not entirely convinced you can open the homebrew launcher at all. I think the best bet is a DS flash cart for right now, but I'm beginning to see why this was up for sale :toot:

I actually do have a Ds flashcart. What do I do with it, does it have to be a specific kind? it's some kind of of r4 clone.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
