I'm currently using Menuhax to boot CakesFW emuNAND. I have a 98% boot rate right now and I only mess with things in emuNAND. I don't touch sysNAND at all. Is it worth risking bricking my n3DS when downgrading it to 2.1 for OTP? Why do you use it?
If youre going to be installing cia's. You'll need to have the sd inserted anywayMan ive been contemplating it. I just can't get over the fact that I have to have an sdcard installed at all times

Care linking it?well with the newly improved guide I hear has been made then it should be no problem getting your OTP now.
Decryp9WIP, OTPHelper and https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki are your friends. @Ronhero you are correct the scariest part of the whole process for me was downgrading my Hyrule Edition N3DS XL from 9.9 to 9.2. After that I felt I could do A9LH due to making a sysNAND backup allowing me to at least get a hardmod and restore if anything went awry.
Most people aren't hard modded anyway.To me it's scarier to go from 9.3+ to 9.2 then 9.2 to 2.x
People blindly downgrade with no nand backup to 9.2 but fear 2.x with a nand backup
Most people aren't hard modded anyway.
No, my point was if I made a nand backup and bricked. I'd still have no way to restore it.Yes buy if you brick a 9.3+ dg you're usually fucked. With otp a nand backup is required so a brick is never going to completely ruined your system

But I don't have a hardmod so I'd still be boned.
Yeah, but I have to risk breaking my n3DS to do that.But you don't need to rush into A9LH, but it is the future of 3ds homebrew and hacking
- It makes emuNAND useless (though you can have it in A9LH);
- Theoretically you can have CFW in any system version till now;
- 100% boot rate;
- If using emuNAND you can run it faster than Home Menu;
- It can improve some homebrews there insn't 100% (like GBA emulator and other stuff);
- It creates a opportunity to create new kinds of homebrews (GodMode9 for example -> root 3DS file explorer -> there's a 3dsx version, but seen to be originally thought for A9LH)

What? If I bricked, I would need a hardmod. It wouldn't start at all.You would need an entrypoint (menuhax, browserhax, oothax, ninjhax, other haxx I have forgot) to launch Decrypt9 as a .3dsx to make a sysNAND backup before proceeding further. Ocarina of Time 3D is $20 and can be found just about everywhere now (Walmart, Bestbuy, Amazon, Target). Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy. You will be glad you did. And yes before I get flamed you will need another hacked 3DS to install OOTHAX on your cart.
