@_Chaz_ Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
I guess that goes more toward the end user than the devs. But I don't think the clueless end user knows that. Maybe the devs should stop at a certain point. Like how bartenders are supposed to stop giving drinks to drunken customers.
I'm not...
Nothing wrong with restoring your NAND. I've done it for various reasons and I knew what I was doing was the solution. If the problem is the NAND, sure restore even if it's an old copy. That's why you should make backups regularly.
But restoring your NAND isn't a cure all. It's not going to fix...
What I meant was... people restore an old backup sometimes. It just screw things up more and you have no way of going back to a decent state because you didn't make a backup before restoring. It's always good idea to make a new backup before you restore especially if you don't know what you're...
Sometimes the problem isn't on the NAND, but on the SD card. You just waste your time and screw things up some more especially if your NAND backup is really old.
I read a lot before I hacked my systems. I probably lurked here a good half a year before I got into hacking them. I guess I just don't have the noob mentality. I wanted to know what I was doing and why as much as I could.
But that's not going to fix anything if the problem isn't with the NAND...
It's just frustrating trying to be helpful when they do that. They could've saved everyone some trouble, including themselves if they do some Googling or ask first. Some people do and it's an easy fix, but there are so many that just screw it up.
There's always some post or thread about noob panicking at first sign of trouble and restoring their old NAND backup without making a backup of current NAND first. I guess it's better than not having a backup in the first place, but why the hell do they use it as the first option when it should...
@Aurora Wright We love you and Luma3DS. :wub: Ignore these clowns.
Hope they can be prosecuted under CFAA or something and end up in prison for 35 years or something.
