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.

I've done this few times and every time both stay at 2.52

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..

    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
    for people with beefy hands.

    @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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    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."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    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.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
