I am focused more on resistance at the moment. The wire has to be thicker in order to archive lower resistance? can i have same thickness but better resistance? i thought AWG makes the material change not the thickness(or quality instead of quantity).Contrary to what you think, larger numbers equals smaller wire diameter. So larger number is better in this case if you are looking to get smaller wires to better fit inside the limited space of an n3DS.
I guess thats correct, but I have no fucking idea why you would want to do thatso I read all of this and maybe Im wrong but if I-
send my 9.0.0u n3ds to a trusted person to add the hard wire mod then I backup my sysnand 2 or 3 times and compare so I know it is good copy
then I can update my sysnand to 10.3.0-28 and use eshop and make cia of the games
then if I want to use my gateway I can downgrade back to 9.0.0-20
is this right?
is all of this only for once in a while or can I do this a lot of times - like when new eshop come out then go back to 9.0.0 again.
Resistance is determined by the metal alloy/quality and how the wire is wound if it's not a single strand of copper/other metal. Usually thicker wire means higher power load capacity. (ability to drive higher wattage/voltages through wire without it breaking/overheating)
I believe thicker wires have higher resistance then thinner wires. It all depends on the voltages you are working with I would guess. The connections to the NAND are all low voltage, so thinner would be better in this case.
My 3DS XL's NAND mod used ultra thin wires. The kind they use in headphones. Those wires don't even use an insulator. Instead a special coating akin to paint is applied to them and using heat to melt off the tips prior to soldering is how you get around it. Unlike thicker rubber insulator where you physically remove some of it to get at the metal you are going to solder.
I think a .5mm tip is recommended, as is one with temp controlthanks so much for the information, marked.
I need a better soldering iron for sure, the one i got has huge tip....(as in post#811 showed, i am still satisfied with the result, but definitely getting a finer tip iron....)
because you cant download anything with new crypto using that method.I guess thats correct, but I have no fucking idea why you would want to do that
You can run 9.5 and have access to the eshop, but why would you need the eshop to make cias? If youre going to pirate, just download them.
So crypto currently doesnt work for these new releases on the eshop? Then if you were to upgrade to 10.3, and download these games, how would you then convert them to cias. They wouldnt be registered to your NAND once you revert. And even if you converted them, they wouldnt work anyway, since crypto doesnt workbecause you cant download anything with new crypto using that method.
hans doesnt work with it - either does the 'new' fixes for emunand - they error on new eshop games.
also I like to buy new things on eshop that not are out yet and make cia + .3ds and post them for others that cant get them
so does that mean I should stop playing the games Im playing now that I did this before the changes to lockout eshop nov 1st?If you dont have any 30 AWG wire at your disposal, Id recommend using the wires from IDE drives, thats what I used and it worked great

anyone??what is the risk if something wrong doing this?
accidentally update my new 3ds
You could completely destroy your 3ds if you aren't careful while soldering. And you could brick it if the connections aren't solid or if you flash a bad dumpanyone??
it can burned or just brick??
so the worst part is in soldering right?You could completely destroy your 3ds if you aren't careful while soldering. And you could brick it if the connections aren't solid or if you flash a bad dump
But that's worst case scenario. It's a fairly easy mod to do
