Hacking Last minute questions before switching to a9lh

[SimplyFedorable]

I'm about to get arm9loaderhax, and to be honest, I'm a bit scared. I would like to know if I can:

1. switch my sd card once I have arm9loaderhax, in case I run out of space

2.what can I do to prevent losing my otp, it seems like everyone is losing theirs

3. how stable is the process

any suggestions to make the process easier would be greatly appreciated

1-yes you can just drag and drop the files, no emunand transfer
2-just upload the otp to a bunch of online hosting sites Like google drive, mega ,one drive as well as multiple locations on your PC and hard drives , if you have.

1) yes, you can, just ass all the needed files to the other sd card

2)google "OTP hub"

 

[bobfacemoo]

1) Yes
2) BACK IT UP TO MULTIPLE PLACES, i.e Online File Storage, anywhere really

 

[Temptress Cerise]

1. Yes. Just format it to fat32.
2. Backup. BACKUP. and most importantly. BACKUP. Upload it to mega, google drive, hell even onedrive. Make sure you keep it somewhere safe on your computer as well.

As for easier, just follow Plailect's A9LH Guide to the letter.

And don't worry, if you follow plailect's guide, it will be a breeze to install a9lh

Thanks! May just ask a friend to help me out with it, he has installed it before

Googling "OTP hub" doesn't show related results, so here's a direct link 3dsotphub.hopto.org (The same in my signature)

3. how stable is the process

Not as stable as Nintendo's FW.

Seriously, it's pretty safe, the chance of bricking is ever so slight, and the reports of people bricking almost always come down to user error, such as people rushing the process or downgrading their SysNAND directly to 2.1.
