I just bought an original blue 3DS and plan on buying an R4i 3DS Gold cart. Before I buy, I want to make 100% I will not brick my 3ds. I had a Flash Cart for my DSi, so I am familiar with Flash Carts, but since I plan on working with a new system, I want to make sure I don't mess up.​
​
I looked around on GBATEMP I couldn't find any recent posts about R4i Carts, or information that answers my questions. If you guys know a community/tutorials/threads that will help me, please post!​
​
My questions are these:​
-How likely can you brick your 3DS with a R4i card/software?​
-How can I make sure I will not brick my 3ds? What do I need to look out for?​
-Any good advice that I should know?​
​
Thank you for your time. I really appreciate the help. I just don't want to mess up my 3ds.​

do you mean for NDS games or 3DS, the R4 card for 3DS games is a pile of poop, you would be better off just paying the extra for a gateway, but just so your aware those options only work if your 3DS is on 9.2 or lower, if its above you would want a sky3ds, and if your only wanting to play NDS games a cheapo R4 NDS card is fine

3DS games is what I planned on getting. What happens if I try to play 3DS games on an R4 card?

No other Flash Carts are compatible with any versions above 9.2? Is that because Nintendo stepped up their security?

well there is the R4 golde deluxe edition, but its not worth the money, it doesnt play any recent games, doesnt have emunand, so no 9.5 emunand....its very basic, and people where getting their saves deleted randomly by it.....basically its more trouble than its worth to save a few bucks.....in regards to anything over 9.2, sky3ds works, but it doesnt have region free, eshop rom support, homebrew etc, so the best flashcard for 3DS games is the gateway which plays all games released and has homebrew, emunand, region free etc
i suggest you read up here, and see what you think is best for you in your situation

So, Gateway doesn't work with firmware above 9.2? If so, is it possible to downgrade firmware?

    too much effort + im shy and social anxiety :( lmao

    I just wear them when I drive cause I'd like to actually read signs
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Think they said I'm far sighted or some bs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My eyes aren't that bad, I need mine for driving but ever since I got my latest pair I wear them all the time when I'm home now, I never used to before
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm near sighted though

    Doc was cool though, he measured my old glasses and I wanted to try different contacts than I had had previously and he's like "hmmm I bet you're this strength and that strength" and damn dude was dead on the money
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    laser eye surgery scares me
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    The thought of any kind of surgery shit being done on my eyes gives me unbelievable amounts of dread and anxiety, and with the potential risks or side effects that laser eye surgery has, I don't think my eyes are bad enough to warrant it. I can see without my glasses - not great, but not bad either.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah I feel that if it gets to the point where all I see is blurry then I might consider if
