i know that here are some people who are making hardmod services is here someone who can make it for a9lh too? (i cant stay so long on pc because after an hour my eyes are hurting)
I don't think anyone would, because no one would pay what it's really worth as it takes so long - for example, $30/hour is probably the minimum I'd ever work for (on a one-off job), and absolute best case scenario is a9lh takes 3 hours to set up - would you really be willing to pay $90 for the service, plus postage? Probably not. Maybe you could find an unemployed person who would do it for less cause they're just happy to get any sort of cash, but, if they have the attention skills and computer literacy to do it in a non-excessive amount of time, they could probably find a job if they wanted one - so it would be hard to find this kind of person!

till Nintendo starts blocking Emunand in any way that leads to Absolutly the only way of getting past it is A9LH its not a "Must haveto use" sure its convenient and make it pretty much brickproof (it'd take breaking FIRM0&FIRM1 [aka almost a blanked NAND])

but if Menuhax's Downsides are fine w/ you then stick w/ it

Protip for installing a9lh: Only ever use sysupdater 0.4.2. I've heard countless stories of people whose downgrade failed by using a crappy sysupdater fork, but I've only used the normal sysupdater and successfully used it on three 3dses.
Support the original, not the imitation™

Not so sure about that. SafeSysUpdater indeed never worked for me, but PlaiSysUpdater did work flawlessly everytime I used it.

the biggest parts that make it take so long is backing up your Sys and EmuNand. (depending on the speed /class of the SD this can take awhile i average 6ish+ mins on an Class 4!) then Copying the Content to the PC for a backup. the next delay come sin Downgrading and Flashing that downgraded emunand to Sysnand. then after that delay is the time it takes to Restore Sysnand After dumping the OTP and restoring Emunand. and further still restoring the SD's Contents. again depending the class/speed of teh SD and How much you got sittin on the SD This can easily take you 2 hours if not 3!

Well, you simply need to download a DSiWare game (such as WarioWare: Touched) in .cia format (look on that iso site) and install it on both SysNAND and EmuNAND (with destination set to "NAND" if you use an old FBI version) if you're using emuNAND :)
If you're talking about DS game injection (playing any DS game) however, that is not possible yet.
ohh damn i was confused btween dsiware and ds!! sorry!
btw are pokemon games available in dsiware?
thank you very much by the way!

It took about 5 hours, a bricked 2DS (because of an error I made beforehand), a Nintendo repair, and then about 10 more hours to set up a9lh.

In exchange, I got a full month's worth of the convenience and safety of A9LH. It was worth the time it took IMO, even if I had to wait a month for Nintendo to repair it. It's up to you whether or not you want to do it.

    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.

    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.

  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    @SylverReZ find me ONE community that is free of drama and politics. even video games forums (like this one) have politics section. and for some reason gamers still take consoles/brands wars seriously. even as a kid i never took the console wars bait despite being a nintendo kid.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    one of the reasons i deleted all my social media accounts, reddit account (although i was rarely using it) etc was to get away from this shit.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Vetusomaru, Sadly, not all communities like to play nice. Forums are pretty much dying despite Discord amongst other social media being available.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    i only kept my twitter accounts and only because many of the artists i like share their art only/mostly at twitter.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    lots of discord groups (even the big ones) are also dead for some reason.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Twitter is way too shittier.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    that's why i added some firefox addons to block shit like twitter trends.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Discord, on the other hand, moderation tends to not be very nice in video game communities from what I had experienced.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    nah, discord is also a shithole. discord is good only if you have your own community with your own rules. or if you re lucky to find some groups that arent shitholes.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    as about forums, when i recently revisited some old forums i used to be regular and seeing how immature most members still are i was like "Yeap. Nothing of value has been lost.". Unfortunately it's the good, comfy forums that ended up dead or shut down, especially because of internet centralization.
