Is there anywhere that tells me what all the acronyms involved with 3DS hacking mean?
OTP?
CIA?
CTRNAND?
NAND?
ARM?
etc etc
Thanks!

CTRNAND is just the 3ds main nand
NAND is just something people store os on.
ARM is Advanced RISC Machines
that is still a mystery. It is kind of like how NX = Nintendo switch, but for the 3ds.
So, CTR = 3ds
TWL = Twilight. It was the code for DSi. So TWLNAND contains the dsiware stuff that is used when launching ds games

CTR stands for Citra, the codename for the 3DS (but I don't know what's the codename for the DSi...)
And the codename for the N3DS is Kontrolle (that's why the serial on N3DS exclusive games like Xenoblade 3D start with KTR)
And the codename for the DS (lite) is Nitro (NTR, not the same as the CFW)
EDIT: The codename for the DSi is Twilight (and that's why is TWL)
EDIT 2: I did some research and I got some names wrong, which are now fixed

CTR is an abbreviation of the 3DS's codename. When you see CTR, think 3DS. CTRNAND is the NAND partition for the main 3DS software.
Same with TWL, except TWL refers to the DSi. So TWLNAND is the partition of NAND used by DS/DSi mode.
NAND by the way refers to a type of flash memory. When used in the context of the 3DS, it refers to the internal memory chip.

I edited my post at the same moment you quoted me the answer xD

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.+1 -

@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.+1 -

SylverReZ:
They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@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."+1 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@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 -
@
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
