Homebrew OPEN_AGB_FIRM stability?

[TheToaster]

So I recently found out about this project:

https://github.com/profi200/open_agb_firm

And it caught my attention. It seems quite promising and I hope to see it get refined in the future. However, my concern is that it is a .firm file that is run from some chainloader rather than a CIA launched from the home menu. Given that this project is still in its alpha stage, do I have to worry about this potentially screwing up my 3DS rendering it unbootable or corrupting the SD card somehow? Has anyone run into any problems with this app?

It won't do any of that dude

One more question: Does Universal Updater grab the latest .firm file from the repo and put it in the Luma chainloader? Or would I have to do it manually if I want to update it?

No homebrew firmware will have more stability than one based on Nintendo's GBA firmware. Like OPEN_AGB_FIRM.

Tbh, I've been using it since it was first published, and works wonderfully. Don't worry about it, the worst that happened me with homebrew things was that when using a Wood theme in TWiLightMenu++, some files became corrupted. As long as homebrew is legit, everything's fine (but keep track of updates/advices from the devs).
