Doing a DSiware downgrade on a N3DSXL on 11.2 using my CFW o3DS on 11.2. I run dgTool and it changed the kernel/firm from 2.52 to 2.51, but Plailect's guide says that it should show 2.50 in 3DSident for both kernel and firm before proceeding. Any ideas what I did wrong/where to go from here? The guide says to try again from the beginning, does this mean the very beginning of the guide or the part just after restoring the source 3DS? I'm using OoT3Dhax as my entry point (never set up steelhax) of that means anything.

make sure you downloaded the latest version of dgtool and the correct NFIRM (11.2-10.4) for your device..then just open dgtool again and downgrade..

Run dgtool downgrade again. Then turn the system off. Check 3dsident and make sure you're back to nfirm 2.52. Then double check you have the correct files. Erase the two files in dgtool and redownload the 11.2 new3ds pack. Then try again.

then you must have the wrong files.. i happen to be in your situation before and i resolved it by replacing the boot.nds(dgtool) with the latest version and the nfirm specific to your 3DS model..

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • 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.

    @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".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    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

    @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

    but that's a long shot

    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."

    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.
