Sky3DS+: Can only play perfect rips of cartridge games. Cost: ~$80
CFW: Can run any code on the 3DS, including great homebrew. Cost: Free or ~$2 depending on your situation.
Yeah, Sky3DS is pretty obsolete at this point, and to be fair, it was kind of obsolete when it was released except for...
You need a working console of some sort to actually flash that one though.
NTRBoot uses just a DS flashcart that's flashed with boot9strap and a magnet to boot the system straight into an arbitrary AMR9 payload (so, SafeB9SInstaller or GodMode9). It'd be very helpful to have one in this case...
Downgrading to 2.1 hasn't been a thing for 11 months. What year is this?
That's probably the only good option here. You need a DS flashcart compatible with ntrboot, and if you don't have another DS/3DS to flash it with, you'll need one that comes pre-flashed such as the R4i Gold Plus.
8.8.8.8 (and 4.4.4.4) are Google's public DNS servers. In cases where your ISP's DNS servers are slow, Google DNS would speed up all DNS lookups, which would be a noticeable improvement when browsing the web.
See also OpenDNS, or https://1.1.1.1 for Cloudflare's new DNS servers.
Plus you could pirate the game on the Wii U literally before release.
That said, I also hope that backup loaders aren't a thing, or at least not easy / pain-free for a good while. It's not that piracy kills consoles, but the fear of piracy can definitely have an effect. Major game publishers...
So you could wear a wired headset without a cable connecting your head directly to the console.
That being said, last time I checked (which to be fair was a while ago), not even PC supported those headphone jacks when connected via bluetooth.
They did a maintenance last night, which was likely the cutoff point.
Really weird that they let you purchase software that they won't let you download, though. I expect there isn't any recourse, given that you are free to update.
It's true. FIRM overwrites (which is what happens when you try to use Gateway on an 11.3+ sysNAND, or update sysNAND in Gateway CFW, or some other seemingly random times using Gateway on sysNAND (seriously don't use Gateway on sysNAND)) only caused bricks on A9LH N3DS systems because A9LH...
Avoid r4i-sdhc.com and r4isdhc.com carts.
I'd recommend this one: https://nds-card.com/ProShow.asp?ProID=507
It's an r4isdhc.com.cn cart. It runs the Wood kernel like the R4i Gold, so no timebomb.
@SylverReZ, RC Pro AM was made by Rare, and that explains why I liked it. Just learned the other day about a game I loved that was made by Rare and I was surprised lol
Are you being for real, cause that's hard to believe, DK is Nintendo and made in japan, Sea of thieves was from Microsoft, in America. I'm not calling you a liar, just didn't know.
I was actually in the scouts for 1 week, til they assigned me homework, n I was like f this, and quit, I was like 10 yrs old. And no I didn't join the girl Scouts.
