So how's the success rate on 2DS? Should I bother doing a hardmod dump first?
I have 2x 2DS and a N3DSXL. I want to beat up a 2DS first as its already beat to hell.

Japanese New 3DS on 10.3 downgraded to 9.1 (used 9.2 files but it shows as 9.1) using Julian20's sysUpdater. Didnt format 3ds but kept trying using menuhax 2.1 and running ftbrony then sysupdater. Clean reboot after it was done and no black screen. Now to figure out to create an emunand in english.

So I downloaded the CIA files and julians latest libkhax sysUpdater and i've done CRC and MD5 checks to make sure the files didn't corrupt, at the moment my N3DS XL 10.3E is on sysUpdater and ive clicked Y for downgrade but it isn't doing anything visually, is this normal?

EDIT:Still nothing, should i risk rebooting?

So... after running sysupdater, the 3ds had "an error occurred" that tells me to power off. I power off and back on. Nothing but blue light. I try to do recovery mode. Blue light. Removed sd card. Blue light. The system turns on but just the blue on light. Nothing else. Help?

After hundreds of tries getting that cia error, it successfully began to install cias, and then, it prints that error screen again.
Using julian's build with a new 3ds eur.

    I mean built in sound on mobo's has gotten way better but still XP handled sound better and X-Fi was still better than onboard audio even to this day
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Hell not sure what was going on but for like a few weeks MP3's sounded muffled, some driver or Windows update fixed it. Thank god lol
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Oh boy Massdrop has $1100 IEMs. Want, but not at that price lmao. https://drop.com/buy/campfire-audio-andromeda-emerald-sea-iem
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'd sooner buy the Meze 109 Pro if I was dropping that much on headphones. I don't even like buds/IEMs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I got the Google Pixel Pro buds, they're good enough for when I need portable audio. And some really cheap IEMs that Dankpods recommends, I think the KZ ZSN Pro

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'd stick with cheapo Chinese $10 ones quality is actually becoming on pair with name brand since name Brand usually quads the price up anyway loose one bud that's another $200
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My Pixel Pro buds shit the bed a month or two ago. My wireless charger (which they do support Qi charging) absolutely COOKED them. Caused some problem that caused the case to heat up to 180F+
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    They were like 9 months out of warranty but I hit up Google support anyway and told them how hot they were getting and they replaced them with new ones because they wanted these for failure analysis lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol wireless charging
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why I can't bring myself to even spend $100 on wireless earbuds
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it's a cool idea but damn
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Apparently the case has a problem with >15W wireless chargers. Google design fault, that one.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I could live with wireless charging if the damn standard case doesn't block connection
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    how is wireless charging possible?

    you mean generally, how does the concept work?

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Copper conducting electricity or something
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @Xdqwerty, power through a coil of wire causes an electromagnetic field to be generated. Another coil of wire can be set up to harness the power from that electromagnetic field and turn it into usable energy for charging a device
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Two good videos from ElectroBOOM that touch on the subject:
