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It's out of date.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

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    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."
