You updated a N3DS in safemode from 2.10, you're lucky you didn't brick. How in the hell did you even manage to fuck up?

enjoy getting a hardmod

Why? Not sure how updating from 2.1 would not brick his system on N3DS when it's known to be a guaranteed brick, so I somehow doubt he even did that while on 2.1 but instead at some other part. If his console works and if he can boot into D9 to restore a backup, then doing that would do exactly the same thing that a hardmod would.

@B451CW11M0DD3R

What guide did you use? What part did you get black screens on? What FW are you on right now? Just because it's like that right now is irrelevant, because judging from your picture the console actually works. If it works, you should be able to start over. If you can get back to 2.1 and install A9LH, then restore your backup that weird problem should disappear as well. Keyword is: should

I guess, because of he said he booted with black acreen, he probably didnt even install a9lh

I encountered this when I was installing AL9H on my n3ds xl. Top screen flickers green and bottom screen was blue. It was quite difficult to read but I went ahead and followed the 3ds guide and once I reinstalled on NAND, the colours went back to normal.

You must have not read the guide.
From the guide:
(Screen distortions or discolorations are normal for some devices while on 2.1.0, they will go away once you restore your backup)
Also from teh guide:
Never update a New 3DS running 2.1.0 (an Old 3DS firmware) or you will BRICK! You MUST restore a NAND backup or ctrtransfer back to standard New 3DS firmware first!

but how its stuck on the updating and i dont how to restore
Tell us the last step you did on the guide. Did you remember to remove the SD card when booting 2.1?
From the guide:
  • While on 2.1.0, the device will black screen on boot if your SD card is inserted before the home menu loads
  • Every time the device is rebooted on 2.1.0, you will need to take out your SD card before boot and put it back in after the home menu loads

... yes it will.... this is directly from the guide
(Screen distortions or discolorations are normal for some devices while on 2.1.0, they will go away once you restore your backup)
Do yourself a favor and read ever word on every page of the guide. EVERY WORD. EVERY WORD. EVERY DAMN WORD.

    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

    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.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.

    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds

    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there

    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening
