So ever since arm9loaderhax has been released, I've been nervous to install it since the installation process requires a downgrade to 2.1. If I were to install it, would I lose my emunand, thus requiring me to reinstall all the data I have on it? Or could I just use another microSD card to install it and then switch back to the one with my emunand on it (after switching the CFW to one more fitting of the new hax)

Please reference @Plailect OTP guide https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki It is a step by step process to backup sysNAND, emuNAND, and mSD/SD contents all before you try to downgrade to 2.1 to get otp.bin. You can restore your sysNAND and emuNAND backups before compiling and installing A9LH and copy your mSD/SD backup from your PC back to the mSD/SD and not lose anything. I will inform you that patience and attention to detail are the keys to retrieving otp.bin and restoring to 9.2 for A9LH install.

You wont lose anything if you follow the guide. You restore your original emunand with all your goodies at some point in the guide. Follow all directions and you'll be fine with no data loss.

    @Psionic Roshambo, idk
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    might install ysmenu first
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Try Wood firmware
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, why?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    but why choose it over ysmenu @Psionic Roshambo?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    bc im stupid?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    yea ik im stupid
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    good night
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
