Im aware that making an emummc clones the nand. I assume this means that it will carry over my accounts that are linked to nintendo online.
will this cause problems? even if im blocking servers

No creating an emunand just creates a completely new install of the OS. Nothing will be carried over.

Completely wrong, everything is carried over apart from the Nintendo folder on SD as emuNAND uses a different folder unless you tell it not to.

This is probably preferrable, as some games require a linked Nintendo account to work, there are ways to fake link an account but if you already have one linked you don't need to bother with that, and it won't cause any problems.

When I created my emunand it was a completely plain system with no accounts.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    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.

    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.

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