Yes, the DSiWare hax tool has a NAND backup option. I don't know why, but the guide doesn't tell you to backup your NAND, just F0F1 whatever that is.

That's the firm0 and firm1, which is a backup (dupe of firm0) in case the firm0 gets corrupted. It's where a9lh/SigHax lives. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe firm0 is NATIVE_FIRM and firm1 is SAFE_MODE_FIRM.

It's out of date. Next time kid don't open up a thread and post fake news. Causing unnecessary stir just cause they forgot to change a few digits.

Mods please close this.

If you bricked your console it wouldn't help you recover would it?

I think it might depending on the brick. As I understand it, the backup is made in case the SigHax/a9lh installation goes sideways. You can flash back the firms, but I think that requires a hardmod. It really won't matter much once Snorlax get released.

FIRM1 is not SAFE_MODE_FIRM. SAFE_MODE_FIRM is something else entirely: https://3dbrew.org/wiki/FIRM#SAFE_MODE_FIRM

Like you said, FIRM1 is an exact copy of FIRM0 :P

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
     +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
