Worked perfectly writing on a N3DS XL on 11.2 with latest Luma (no special build). I was able to read the written tag back on the same 3DS as well as a Switch.
There also needs to be a little more strictness about what goes where. Threads about downgrading and other questions shouldn't go into the "Homebrew Development & Emulators" subforum. Tutorials shouldn't be in the "Flashcards & Custom Firmwares" subforum.
I like your idea of having another...
because on the DS, all you needed to do was buy a flashcard from a shady website and drop all of your games onto it. with the 3DS, doing either homebrew or piracy requires a lot more work, piracy even moreso because the only flashcard now that doesn't require a kernel exploit is also much more...
I don't see how having piracy and homebrew together makes this scene any different than the PSP, Wii, DS or Xbox scenes. Piracy has nothing to do with releasing homebrew.
What could be the issue with my N3DS that doesn't allow me to link? I'm still getting 022-2511 even after installing an updated NVER with DevMenu and trying multiple versions of FMP.
Has anyone successfully linked a new NNID on 9.5 without Gateway? I won't have access to mine for a month and using NVER v448 + HANS and/or FreeMultiPatcher doesn't bypass the version check in the NNID settings.
