Hi! I haven't messed around with CFW since way back in January of this year. I still consider myself illiterate when it comes to hacking/programming, so please bear with me.
Background: Been using RxTools, on RX-E 10.5.0-30U emuNAND, and 9.2.0-2U sysNAND. I keep backups and copies of my NAND's and every file/payload/firmware, whatever I use. My system boots into menuhax, then into gridlauncher, from where I can choose to boot into RxTools.
I've installed quite a few GBA and DSi games onto my emuNAND. The GBA games are installed to both, emuNAND and sysNAND. If I move to a9lh/luma, do I need to still keep it installed on both emuNAND and sysNAND or just one?
I remember changing the firmware to be able to run GBA games in RxTools, but don't remember how I did it. I don't remember if I had to do anything for the DSi firmware, so I have no idea what the TWL firmware is for that, and I don't have that firmware file among everything else I've done. But I do have DSi ware installed on my 2DS (Shantae Risky's Revenge, Four Swords Anniversary addition, Mario v DK, etc.). I tried using 3DNUS 1.9 to find the old AGB firmware, but I don't know the version number. And once I do get the old firmware, do I have to delete the firmware modifications I already have or just install over it? I forgot how to do it, and how to look for it in FBI and 3DNUS...
I don't use the eShop at all. The last time I used it, my CFW messed up. I don't know what exactly happened, but I reformatted my SD card and started from scratch. End result, I have a perfectly working 2DS with emuNAND and sysNAND on RxTools with the firmware versions listed above. However, I don't update my console (b/c RxTools doesn't support it) and avoid the eShop and any internet related feature like the plague. I would like to use a CFW-enabled 2DS with full internet features, but I fear bricking b/c of future update incompatibilities; if anyone can help me in figuring out how to have a CFW and use the most current online play features, I'd be grateful
I wanted to try to move over to a9lh/luma so that I can get flawless boot rates and overclock my 2DS. However, I don't know if I'll brick my console because of all the things I've already done. For one thing, I know I've changed the firmware for installing/running AGB, I just don't know how and what problems that can bring. I also have FBI installed on my emuNAND, along with Big Blue Manager; I've noticed FBI installs better with less hassle than BBM. Are there any other incompatibilities or brick risks I should be made aware of? I was following Pialect's guide, and it seems easier to follow if no modifications were done to the system.
