NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO My dreams are gone

DOWNGRADE MEANS PIRACY

 

[Thunder Hawk]

How to not brick during downloading:
- not throwing your 3DS on the wall

Does that wall have to be made out of brick for this to be applied?

 

[Mrrraou]

what are these?

MD5 are the files checking hashes, on Linux you can use md5sum to make md5 hashes for files and input.

Walls are made of bricks.
More seriously, if the SD card is removed during the downgrade process, then it'll brick. If you throw it on the wall, there is a chance that the SD card disconnects.

Maybe.

Yes, to check the files integrity. That's what MD5 hashes are meant for: checking that the files are correct.

I have a Windows computer so will I be able to check the MDS or whatever it is on there?

 

[LuigiSmash220]

Maybe.

Yes.

 

[Thunder Hawk]

Yes, using the correct software.

 

[Damon_girl]

Yes.

How do you get the files? And how do you know if they're correct?

 

[dankzegriefer]

How do you get the files? And how do you know if they're correct?

A. Downloading
B. The downloader will usually give a SHA1 or MD5 hash. If your downloaded file and the posted sum match your file is not corrupt.

 

[Kartik]

off topic:I searched the web there more than 100 md5checker

 

[ElyosOfTheAbyss]

Wait how come proper piracy wont work?

Not enough power. Just fucking downgrade.

It seems like it's easier said than done.
