For those of you that don't know what frankenfirmwares are, it's nothing else than a partial downgrade.
I've never heard of any stories of partial downgrades on old3ds/2ds. That's why I am asking for help here.

Alright, here's the story:
I downgraded my 2ds from 10.7 to 9.2, using Freakyhax.
But some time during the downgrade, i got this error saying: "An error has occurred".
I thought i was fucked, but when i tried booting it up, it worked. It even showed up that window with that home menu customization thing(Yes, i know that that it's supposed to do that, mainly because i've downgraded my N3ds XL, too, but i updated it to 11.0, don't ask why, please).
The system settings shows 9.2.0-20(or something)E, but i believe that i only have a Frankenfirmware since it crashed during the downgrade. I don't really know when it crashed during the downgrade(so it could've been after the downgrade, but im not sure), since i was doing something else, but it did crash.
Is there any way to see for sure that I have a frankenfirmware?
And if I have, can I fix it without updating to 11.0?

And one more thing.
Before you go say "google is a thing, y' know", i've googled for around two hours, by now.
And all I see is N3dses with the same problem, but no old3dses/2dses with this problem. i am not sure if it'll work with a N3ds fix for 2ds.

I had the problem with an o3DS I had downgraded. Nothing wanted to work and the home menu would freeze once in a while. I reinstalled the 9.2.20 U payload to my OoT and re-did the downgrade. It finally worked and didn't crash, and the home menu was completely stable after that.

    I could still always use my old android phone as a mp3 player but I get lost in the music and miss calls that way

    Thanks for the like and then taking it away
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It's been discontinued but you can find em second hand. It's the FiiO model K1.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ nice. I've been using my BTR5 pretty much daily, got it in late 2020. Mostly use it as a desktop DAC though and the battery has already swelled up in it once, so I had to replace it. Some day I gotta grab a proper desktop DAC that doesn't have a battery lol

    @K3Nv3, Yeah, cheap and nasty earbuds don't deliver the best mids, they end up sounding really muddy.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, I got mine around 2022 (iirc) and it was brand new, never opened, and for £15 too compared to paying nearly £30 elsewhere.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, That sucks when the battery already begins to swell up. You considering on a desktop replacement, and if so, which one?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ damn 15 is shockingly cheap for that. Even 30 feels like a good price just given what a bunch of other FiiO stuff costs. Granted, not familiar with what those were originally selling for, so who knows lol

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    As far as a replacement for my BTR5, I don't really have my eyes set on anything specific yet but it'll likely be from either Fiio or Schiit Audio.

    Better than tree fiddy
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, Originally when it came out, they sold for around $40 USD according to FiiO's news bulletin. https://www.fiio.com/newsinfo/54677.html

    @Sicklyboy, I would prefer FiiO as the better brand for a USB DAC.

    I feel like headphones reached a peak even ones from ten years ago sound better than new ones
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @K3Nv3, all depends how much money you wanna spend. I had skullcandy headphones and shit way back when but I never liked anything as much as the headphones (and earbuds) I use nowadays

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ yeah fwiw I've been quite happy with my FiiO BTR5 so I don't have any specific reason to not a FiiO again. Just gotta see what's available and how much I'm trying to spend lol

    O GOD I see @BigOnYa
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    I have the FiiO X1-ii, and love what it does, but the battery life is kinda ass and the sluggish, unresponsive menu makes me regret my purchase a little.
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    has anyone here played botw randomizer for switch?
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    (not the wii u version, specifically the switch version)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Frankly not. That's like a 'cheat engine' for BoTW, right?
