Homebrew Dummy Downgrade question

[Overwrite_Pixel]

So long story short, I updated my o3DS to 11.5 and regretted it, so I want to go back down to 11.4, or even 11.3 (so, you know, I can access Homebrew again). I have backups of my NAND, but on the flip side, I have no idea which NAND backup has which firmware. So it's my fault for not remembering which is which. Also, I used decrypt9 to dump 'em. So two questions.
A) If I downgrade, will I lose any data? If so, what data will I lose?
B) is there any way I can see which NAND backups have what firmware on it? Because the time stamps are WAAY off.

sorry for the dumb questions - I'm still a little new.

If you have nand back ups. that does mean ya got full cfw on your 3ds system, no? What exactly is keeping you from using this current firm? Everything on cfw with 11.5 runs without issues.

You can access homebrew on 11.5 by using Rosalina with Luma3DS 8.1.1. There's no reason to downgrade.

Isn't Rosalina only for New 3DS? I have the old XL.

For the most part, I just want to actually. No particular reason.

Rosalina is for both O3DS and N3DS. The only requirements are B9S and Luma3DS 8.0-8.1.1.

Really? Okay then. Sorry all of the articles I've read only give me the "New" 3DS CFW so I kinda assumed it would only for N3DS. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for your help!

Today's words from the wise, most gaming sites poorly cover hacking related material. Most of them aren't geared towards hacking like the Temp and thus tend to be rather questionable on their information. Always approach standard gaming sites with a healthy dose of skepticism whenever they cover hacking related media. Chances are they don't even about half of what they are talking about.
I also always suggest asking questions on sites like Temp. We have a large community of extremely intelligent and helpful members that actually know what they are doing and talking about. Last thing we would want is for someone to be holding on misinformation when we know we can help correct that.

And last but not least be smart about your questions because the trolls and ***holes around here can be brutal when it comes to noob questions.
