Usually after a while, I give my little brother my stuff. Last time I gave him a modded PS3, it was bricked a week later even though I deleted most of the things required to even access MultiMan or Cobra (not going to explain if you don't know what it is). I specifically told him to ask me before he does anything that's he's not sure of, but I can't stay mad at him. He loves games.

So is there a way to uninstall? For example Reinand, Pasta, or the RxTools CFW. If this is the wrong section, I'm sorry. Also google'd and searched here already.

CFW are not really installed in the system, they are files in your SD card that you run everytime you want to use them, so to "uninstall" a CFW there is nothing else other than delete the files.

As long as you don't modify anything in the system NAND itself you could even just format the SD card.

rxTools is an example that doesn't need you to mess anything other than the SD card.

No clue. I literally asked him the same thing. I don't care for it anymore though.

And thanks guys. Just double checking everything.

There really aren't many brick risks with the 3DS, maybe if you try to update or downgrade yur system without following a tutorial since that's writting in the NAND is the only thing.

But the worst thing a clueless brother could do with your system is update it, (which you would need a hard mode to revert it).

I thought updating system NAND officially through the Internet didn't do anything except remove the ability of using cfw.... Obviously updating past 9.2

You only get bricked when you try update or modify system when in rxmode (as oppose to dev mode) or similar

By updating of course I meant manually, not through the internet.

    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow

    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
