currently my code will only work on (e)MMC devices. so if you want to test it first, you'll have to use an oldschool MMC card.Might be able to offer an unbricking service in the UK; I'm setting up my Raspberry Pi now. If the tools seem to be working OK on an SD card, I'll try and brick my 3DS and test this for myself.
edit: oh, and as all it does is init the card, give some debug output and send the force erase command nothing will happen unless the card is already locked.
