Has anyone installed update cias for the cia games they installed as well? Or does that require kernel access?
Thank you both. One last question:
After installing the .cia is it possible to remove it from SD Card or do we have to keep it?
Take it off the SD card, but keep it some place safe. I think nobody wants to deal with these awful filehosts if they don't have to.
Thanks for the reply, so if I understand correctly you are able to install legit cias and update these games if youre on FW >10.2 but if you choose to downgrade you have to install a CFW that can install non-legit cias? If you update your installed cia games and then downgrade would you lose your cias?
you can, if you buy content you can make a personal legit cia with FunkyCIAIf only we could make our own legit CIAs...
I only have gotten MK7 installed, and right as this was announced, I went and downloaded every legit CIA and threw it in a file in case I need it later or the hosts go down or anything.
Got it to work, finally. O3ds 10.3.0.28u. Seemed to have more luck launching random homebrew programs before FBI. The attempt that worked I launched Citra, then ftbrony, then fbi. At least 20 attempts in all, 10 without other apps beforehand an all those attempts failed to get to the frozen "done" part. Best of luck all!

It will be legit in the sense that you can install it on your own console (the one that bought it in the first place) but non-legit in the sense it's not installable by every man and his dog.

@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.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@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 -

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."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

BigOnYa:
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.

@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:
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
