Well, I've been on the site as a ghost for so long that I decided to join for this great occasion.

I used sysUpdater 0.4.2b on a N3ds with the 10.3.0-28 U kernel, along with a 9.2.0-20 U update.

The first 15 tries were unsuccessful (the first 8 were with the oot3dhax, and the last 7 were with menuhax 2.1). It would hang on step 5 or step 7.

I then tried using the browserhax and then opening and closing FTP-3DS and it worked like a charm. (I did not try oot3dhax or menuhax 2.1 with opening and closing FTP-3DS, though).

#burn in hell mothafuggers!
So after about over 65 tries manually....
fW 9.2 is mine!!!
I downgraded a N3DSXL from 10.3 to 9.2.20-E
I tried using Menuhax, Ninjhax, Browserhax. M8 none worked. So after 65 times of me retrying because it was stuck on #5, it worked! I didn't have a black screen or nothing!

There's a brief moment when the bottom screen of my N3DS flashes while trying to power it on if that helps. Also take a look at the video I linked in my last post, that's all I can do (mostly luck).

Might possibly increase chances by opening FTP-3DS then closing it back to the homebrew main before trying the downgrade. Not sure if it will, but it might.

Using this version I get to the downgrade menu, but I get this error when getting cia file information:
titleException:
main.cpp:108: Result: 0xD900182F
Failed to get CIA file info!

I'm using the 9.2.0-20E(Full)_n3DS update from the iso site

Same here as well but using us version of 9.2 off that certain site as well. Rechecked and downloaded again and same message. Any help?

Everyone getting Failed to get CIA file info: Are you sure you're using the right downgrade pack? The O3DS and N3DS packs are completely separate.

Also, if you're using a Mac, I hear it likes to mess with the /updates/ folder and add extra hidden files. Somewhere like page 12 or so someone else had this same problem, and solved it 2 pages later.

What version did you downgrade from? I have a fresh hyrule n3ds that I just unboxed on 9.9, but I think I'm going to wait until tomorrow for some more reliable information.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
