Does a CFW (in my case, ReiNAND) boot better from the DS profile exploit with downgraded MSET, or will it be the same boot rate? And can you even do an MSET downgrade on N3DS?

I have no idea if it boots better with that particular exploit, but yes, you can downgrade MSET for use on the N3DS (in fact, ONLY on the N3DS).
And as DrCrygor07 said,
It boots better with A9LH
Which is very, very true. I'd recommend looking into A9LH.

Sorry if I ask this question here but I downgraded the mset in one of my 3ds, can I do the downgrade process without worrying?

You see, MenuHax has to boot sysNAND first, before emuNAND because it's an exploit in sysNAND that you're using. A9LH, however, allows you to skip sysNAND entirely, booting straight to emuNAND. That's something MenuHax will never be able to achieve. Ever. Also, A9LH has 100% boot rate, staggering boot speeds (as fast as sysNAND boots normally), it's easy to manage, and you can (when set up properly) boot Decrypt9 and EmuNAND9 by holding X or Y (one mapped to each button) when the system starts up, ensuring nice brick protection. It's an amazing exploit. I installed it when the very first OTP guide came out back when it was much more dangerous - which brings up another point. It really is pretty safe to downgrade and grab your OTP. Sure, things happen, and you could end up with a brick, but if you follow the steps exactly, you'll be okay.

EDIT: You'll most likely be okay.

Yeah, let people stay paranoid! :P
That's not the problem. I agree that there is no danger and stuff, but if they have really weird thresholds and are like "brick everywhere" until you convince them that nope, and then they become so chilled that they are not focused, then they will make errors and blame you for the brick that they feared in the beginning... So of course no one cares if people brick due to their errors while doing something theoretically safe, but you don't want to be blamed for that.

I never turn my 3ds off anyways, so I don't really care to do all the work of getting the OTP just to save a few seconds on boot.

Actually, when I was using the Gateway as my main solution to run my retail cartridges on a high firmware while keeping my 3DS on a low firmware (most annoying situation in the world), I also kept my 3DS on all the time because booting with MSET is so annoying. But since I got menuhax, I started turning it off more often, and now that I have a9lh, I turn it off everytime I'm not using it, even just for 3 minutes, just to enjoy the splash next time I turn it on and without wasting time.
So yeah, I don't say you're mixing causes and consequences... but maybe ;)

  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    we talk about same japanese tv that censors shit like teenage characters smoking
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I'd rather they censor smoking than cleavage like they do in the west.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Smoking is bad for your health, boobs are good
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    actually anime have also toned down fanservice a lot at the last 2 decades. when was the last time you saw nipples in anime that isnt hentai?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    in quite a few, once the uncensored version releases
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    also seeing smoking at media wont make me want to smoke
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    even at "uncensored" home releases they still show no nipples with few, rare exceptions
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    It makes it seem cool, that's why smoking

    comercials were banned here in the 90s.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    even ecchi manga dont show nipples nowadays
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I'm reading several that do atm. x'D
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    even it looks cool, i still hate smoking and i always hated smoking
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    They're seinen though.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    But yeah, it also has to do with the fact that stuff are more sexualised

    now
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    even at seinen i am reading, the only one that shows nipples sometimes is Oversized Sextet
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Like, Urusei Yatsura, I love the manga and the original anime.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    In the original rumiko takahashi works, nudity was common
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    i still havent read the manga. also surprisinly i like both the new and the old anime adaption.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Lum being topless and Ranma always topless when turning female wasn't sexual
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    also the old anime adaption of Urusei Yatsura had more fanservice than the manga
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    That's one of the issues I have with ecchi stuff recently, it focuses too much on the sexual aspect, not the comedy effect.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    The manga had it's fair share.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I mean, Lum was supposed to be a one time character
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    ecchi anime focusing too much at fanservice was always a thing
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Rumiko Takahashi got so much fan email about the character that she brought her back in the manga, it was going to be completely different originally (with the alien of the week type).
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    also i m a takahashi fan and i love ranma
    Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru: also i m a takahashi fan and i love ranma
