I'm surprised that this works with ReiNand, but what is likely happening is a result of your NANDs being linked.

Because your NANDs are linked, they share theme data. Since the theme data is where menuhax lives, both NANDs will attempt to autoboot menuhax when they start up. This causes a loop where it tries to load CFW, then load menuhax, then crash.

Possible solutions:

1) Unlink your NANDs via tinyFormat. Arguably the best solution, and the one that everyone and their mother will tell you to do.

2) Manually boot cakes every time from the Homebrew Menu. Yuck.

3) Use this modified version of CHMM2 and follow the steps to dissociate the themes (and thus avoid menuhax loops) between emuNAND and sysNAND. The idea is that since sysNAND doesn't have theme shuffle, it will ignore loaded theme shuffles. However, emuNAND will not ignore it, thus causing it to load the shuffled theme instead of the menuhax theme.

You might be able to use this to set up themehax in your emuNAND separate and distinct from menuhax in sysNAND, but I only recently set this up, so I haven't tried this.

I hope this helps!

Mine arent linked.

I already used the modified version of CHMM2. It did not work but I still don't know why. Now it works, and I still have my NAND linked. (And yes, I want to keep it like that, according to me, it's better. There is no point of unlinking nands, the only problem with linked nands is unwrapping packages but it only happens when you go to sysnand. If you just boot into emunand, everything is ok and you can install GBA VC only one time. ;) )

Yay, finally managed to fix my console after nearly hardbricking it several times (ripped DAT0, had to use the microscopic alt).
It's shit, used an old ethernet cable and broken headphones, but it works. Too lazy to wait for the cable connectors i ordered.

It also makes it look pretty dank.

EDIT: Nevermind, it started hanging randomly and I fucked it up and perma-bricked my console.

games installed through CIA installers act the same way as eshop games,you can run it directly from HOME Menu and if you have unlinked NANDs,you can delete them through System Settings

Hey friends, how i delete games i already have installed using FBI?
If your NANDs are unlinked (which they generally should be if you followed a competent guide), you can just uninstall through data management. If your NANDs are linked, I've heard of data loss by deleting through data management, you may want to uninstall the titles directly through your CIA manager.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @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".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

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

    @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
