Also @ noobs ... if you can't build this yourself then you probably don't need it! (just my opinion).

I don't particularly consider myself a noob, but I'd tend to agree with this. Better to wait till there's more safety measures in place, or at LEAST until there's actually a GOOD reason to dump it before jumping the gun and potentially making yourself a rather expensive paper weight.

Well said. :) Totally agree. Unless you're a nut like me then wait. haha

im reading this guide: https://github.com/Plailect/OTP/blob/master/New_3DS_Spider.md
and i have some question...
section 1 looks like brick is not going to happen cuz its a Preparation only.
--------------------------------------
the thing i cannot understand is the section 2 #20
it says ""20. Select everything from offset 0x200 to the beginning of the file."

so it means im going to 0x200 and highlight the ABOVE contens and repalce it with the contents of NCSD_header_o3ds.bin.
or
highlight the BELOW contens and repalce it with the contents of NCSD_header_o3ds.bin?

thanks and have a nice day...

I guess that if you don't understand it... you shouldn't try it (or at least, not yet.)

How did you upgrade to 9.2 from 2.1?
  1. Did a new, fresh 9.2 emuNAND
  2. Unlinked it using TinyFormat
  3. Downgraded it using sysUpdater CIA
  4. Dumped emuNAND, generated 0x4 and 0x5 CTRNAND xorpads
  5. Decrypted the CTRNAND from emuNAND using the 0x5 CTRNAND xorpad
  6. Encrypted the decrypted CTRNAND using the 0x4 CTRNAND xorpad, and reinjected it into the emuNAND dump
  7. Replaced the NCSD header from my emuNAND dump with an O3DS NCSD header
  8. Flashed it into my sysNAND
  9. Removed the SD card
  10. Pressed the power button
I used the Decrypt9 payload for the Spider 2.1 RSA_VERIFY exploit. Then, I flashed my 9.2 sysNAND backup.

  • 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".

    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
