    Hacking OTPless method should be returned for reducing brick chance

    When people are conditioned into following guides blindly they are screwed anyway, so whether otpless is included doesn't really matter. The old versions are all over the internet so there is no stopping anyone from trying it if they really want to.

    Hacking OTPless method should be returned for reducing brick chance

    Both methods are risky, just a different kind of risk. I prefer to let others take the unnecessary risks though

    Hacking Is emuNAND really obsolete now?

    emunand is never going to be obsolete as long as it serves the intended purpose. It only seems obsolete in the presence of a9lh, which is a far greater risk (corrupted firm, permanent backdoor for third parties to run any payloads they want, reliance on cfw to prevent a9lh bricks). So for those...

    Hacking Just heard that one noob deleted everything in CTRNAND with FBI

    Noobs have no reason to use GodMode9 or touch sysnand unless they want to invite trouble

    Hacking A9lh+Luma 5.2 Error, SD Card Formatted

    To avoid this in the future, take note of the payloads and checksums you are using with a9lh. Wrong/incompatible payload = brick

    Hacking 3DS virus?

    anything that is capable of installing/using a9lh payloads

    Hacking Just heard that one noob deleted everything in CTRNAND with FBI

    The problem is not with FBI, but that this person messed with sysnand with no backups. Same thing can happen with a9lh install

    Hacking Where to safely buy GW3DS

    The brickcode argument is getting old really. The closest legit GW users ever come to a brick was the sysnand downgrade process introduced by GW (extensively tested and fair warning was given for the actual risk involved). That process was pretty much taken/ripped off by the community. If...

    Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

    You need both makerom and the custom version of libctr that does not come with the default devkitpro package

    Hacking N3DS XL Bricked when updating

    To be absolutely safe, you really need to be prepared to get a hardmod. while emunand reduces the usage of sysnand, it cannot protect from a9lh and related tools that touch sysnand, both past and future

    Hacking N3DS XL Bricked when updating

    browserhax and mset works well enough for me. a9lh is certainly appealing for people who need to power off frequently, they just have to accept the inherent risk that comes with it

    Hacking Q: Does Newest Menuhax work with Luma 6.6?

    Menuhax has zero chance of bricking, while A9lh has a non-zero chance of bricking, so menuhax is infinitely better Telling people that they "aren't going to brick" is just plain dishonest, when you know very well how many times the a9lh installer has been updated over the past month...

    Hacking is pokemon sun unplayable on o3ds with rxtools?

    You can first try to get browserhax (Luma3DS.dat) to work. 6.3.1 if the newer versions are not working. Then you can consider which mset to apply later

    Hacking MenuHax was patched?

    If only that is actually true. The newcomers are simply told that "it is safe to update, no need for emunand yada yada". The same people who champion a9lh in non-a9lh threads but avoid the a9lh brick threads, hypocrisy much? If people really want to avoid sysnand screw-ups, a9lh should not be...

    Hacking is pokemon sun unplayable on o3ds with rxtools?

    There are various ways of installing mset. ds cart (specific payload.nds, or cakesrop.nds + ropCustom.txt) browserhax (specific payload, or code.bin + ropCustom.txt) FBI 1.x and some FW like Cakes browserhax can be used both for installing mset, or as an alternative entry point to mset, so...

    Hardware Any decent strategy to get my hands on that limited edition new 3DS on Black Friday?

    Is anyone actually standing in line now? The n3ds has slightly less battery life than o3ds XL, although it makes up for it by being lighter obviously

    Hacking Who hasn't yet installed arm9loaderhax? Why?

    and the firm protection comes from cfw (which is a risk by itself). As long as the stock firmware is exploitable, a9lh is an additional risk since it replaces stock and becomes a dependency for other entry points to remain usable

    Hacking MenuHax was patched?

    yet it is irresponsible to introduce/increase risk of sysnand bricks for these users, just for your own convenience.
