I Keep reading online that 3ds's dying in gateway (emunand) causes brick..would it still happen even if the nands are seperated?


*Using gateways latest firmware update

There's hope for a Xenosaga port.

What?
I had let my battery die, made the 3DS freeze by cleverly taking the SD card while in emunand, been playing with and without the GW card in (CIA), playing with and without power connected.
No brick ever.

That is pure bad luck..But it's still worth some effort to keep your battery healthy.

So why not turn it off cleanly, which is also way better for the battery itself unless this happens rarely?

It's true that you can brick many flash chips with integrated controller by removing power at the wrong time (mainly during a TRIM), but if it actually happens run to buy a lottery ticket!

have you tried taking out the sd card and blowing the slot? It happens to me but with a bit of air in the sd card slot it works.

    Pre-ordering was a bit nuts but I somehow got two orders lined up. Walmart went live early with a queue system that was actually extremely stable and I was able to snag one for shipping, no in-store pickup.

    Target.com went down immediately but the app was up for a little longer before going down and a couple of friends managed to snag pre-orders there, but it was $10 extra for release day shipping also with no local pickup.

    Don't give up on the Best Buy line! I waited for 35 minutes before the page automatically refreshed and asked me to re-login, I thought I was done for but after I re-logged back in it took me immediately to checkout with 10 minutes to complete the purchase.
  • TeconMoon @ TeconMoon:
    Best Buy local pickup is what I was going for so I'm glad it panned out. I had some rewards certificates waiting to be used and got some money back on my Best Buy credit card. Gotta get me that midnight pickup!
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @TeconMoon walmart keeps going in and out of stock. I'm worried about ordering 1 more and having cancellation since I already ordered 1 tho
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @TeconMoon I got booted out of the best buy line in one of my browsers dunno what's up with that
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @TeconMoon what do you plan on doing with the 2nd unit? family member? resale?

    Damn, more people seem to dislike bluesky than I thought. =O
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I think people are disliking the idea of jumping social media sites over politics
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Well, I do find that silly.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I don't care enough about social media to bother

    it tries so hard to be a twitter clone but it fails miserably
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    also, their federation is going nowhere
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    what federation?
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I try to explain social media is what you make of it but people always jump ship with hatred for politics based off it

    So is reddit
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    So is 4chan oh wait
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    @Skelletonike bluesky claims to be decentralized like mastodon, problem is that for some reason they decided to create their own protocol for that, I've not seen a single other instance using it
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Yeah, 4chan was a bit sus... Probability of finding a trap when clicking on something was... Too high.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Well... When it comes down to, it's all for money.
  • SillyBee @ SillyBee:
    What is hilarious is that a lot of old 4chan users used to complain it became really mainstream lmao
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Will say it was one of the last few sites that didn't go all fancy css with everything
