The problem cropped up a few days ago.
I was attempting to restore an old boot.firm.bak from February (when I installed the latest Luma available at the time)
This is because my ds just wouldn't boot after it told me it needed to re-format my SD card as it was corrupted.
Now, I just get a black screen and the power LED comes on, and the only way I can boot is in safe mode, which erves no purpose as I can't connect, but that may be due to bad weather. I'm retrying a safe mode update to fix my files, but... I'm kinda bad with this stuff.

If the safe mode update doesn't work (and there is a new firmware available to use), would it be possible to forcefully (and without hardmodding, flashcarts, etc.) ((so software/cfw ONLY)) re-install Luma and GM9 to, what I'm guessing, un-brick my device?
Flashcarts are off the table because I have no idea where to get one
Hardmodding: I'm just stupid and don't wanna do that stuff.

So I want to understand the state of your device. So you have a older version of luma installed correct? Like installed into firm0

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Assuming that's what you did, put godmode9 into luma/payloads in the sd card and hold start. And install a newer version of luma, as older versions of luma pre 9.0 don't work on the latest version of the 3ds. If this is not what you did, and you removed luma cfw, and are using stock firmware... Then there is no fix that I'm aware of that could fix it.
Edit:I would also check that sd card with h2testw see if it's a fake.

I dug out my old ARDS and i'm gonna try the NTRBOOT method. If I shouldn't then... Idk, I guess I'll find out when my ds bursts into retard-flames!

    Switch 2 LCD is about like TN type compare to old Nintendo Switch LCD before. Also games running on 40 FPS look not good for us and people. 60 FPS are best for normal everyday gaming. That's weird. I think should not buy Switch 2 because it like Switch 1.5 something like that. Little improve but not major improve. I think going to skip it.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea that's just rumored but not sounding that impressive for a next gen upgrade. Of course Nintendo is very good at optimization of their games to play well, but for a $400+ 2025 console I expected a little better. Even a $299 2020 Xbox Series S has 4 tflops.

  • Anrei @ Anrei:
    I thought it was supposed to be on par with an xbox 1 in power, why is it running most things at 40fps lol
  • Anrei @ Anrei:
    in terms of power I thought it was a 2.0 compared to the switch man 40fps sounds whack is there poor optimisation or something?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Just rumors/ leaks. We will find out in a few weeks. But yea prob way underpowered to save battery, for longer playtimes, like Switch 1 is.

  • E @ evanft:
    Teraflops are not necessarily indicative of real world performance, especially when compared across different architectures. The Switch 2 will also be smaller/lighter than the Steam Deck so it's performance has to fit inside a much smaller thermal and power envelope. Using a 120hz VRR panel means 40 fps locks can be an option in handheld mode, which will be a noticeable upgrade over the current 30 fps standard on Switch 1. Games could also go uncapped and leverage VRR to keep things smooth.

    Call me a filthy casual but I really don't notice the difference between the last few generations of consoles, and pushing specs just for the sake of bragging rights is really pointless.

    Yea I think the HDR and 60fps+ have been the biggest noticeable improvements, along with faster load times/ ssd hd.

    Playing the devils advocate, o nstema deck I drop the FPS on most games to 30 due power conservation and tbh I see little to none difference to 60fps. I'd say the difference is in what one wants to believe
