Hi everyone, I just got a Sky 3d card and I have some doubs and looking for some opinion as well.

My doubs are:
- When I play some game through Sky 3ds, it says there is an update available in the eShop for that game, will it work if I install? Is there any risk of ban?
- My console is in 9.2.0-20E FW. is there any reason to update? (i.e.: games that require higher firmware through Sky3ds, etc)
- I heard about Nintendo starting to ban, is it true? What is considered risk behaviour?

Opinion:
- I have another 3ds, one on 4.5.0-10E. For some reason I can't read QR's on Cubic Ninja (is there way to fix this without update btw?) [Using Sky3ds I now can]. In case there is another advantage, should I update my 9.2.0-20?

Thanks in advance for any help.

1 You can go on eshop without problems
2 I suggest you to not update
3 If you play online with public headers you can be banned

I don't want to open a new thread, so I'm gonna ask here:

Are system updates stored on games? I mean if a game requires a higher firmware can it be updated through the game on Sky?

So one possible "safe" and free method to update would be buy a game from a place that allows returns under x hours/days, use it to update then return. Or just use a friends game (assuming the game is on newer firmware). But I assume it's safe to just connect to the net with the card not in the system and update normally. Or even with the card in the system it's probably safe to update, as long as you don't play online with public headers.

    Yeah I just kinda miss old earbuds just dont know any with type c that have that decent bass

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Consider one of the cheaper USB C to 3.5mm adapters, too. It is technically a DAC as well but less featured, less powerful, and less configurable than something like the FiiO but WAY cheaper and slimmer. https://www.amazon.com/Headphone-Adapter-JSAUX-Compatible-Samsung/dp/B07XYQ2ZKH That'll get you a lot closer to plain ol plug-in headphones
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    That paired with any normal IEMs. KZ ZSN Pro are the cheapies that I actually really liked lol

    Thanks for the like and then taking it away
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It's been discontinued but you can find em second hand. It's the FiiO model K1.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ nice. I've been using my BTR5 pretty much daily, got it in late 2020. Mostly use it as a desktop DAC though and the battery has already swelled up in it once, so I had to replace it. Some day I gotta grab a proper desktop DAC that doesn't have a battery lol

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv3, Yeah, cheap and nasty earbuds don't deliver the best mids, they end up sounding really muddy.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, I got mine around 2022 (iirc) and it was brand new, never opened, and for £15 too compared to paying nearly £30 elsewhere.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, That sucks when the battery already begins to swell up. You considering on a desktop replacement, and if so, which one?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ damn 15 is shockingly cheap for that. Even 30 feels like a good price just given what a bunch of other FiiO stuff costs. Granted, not familiar with what those were originally selling for, so who knows lol

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    As far as a replacement for my BTR5, I don't really have my eyes set on anything specific yet but it'll likely be from either Fiio or Schiit Audio.

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Better than tree fiddy
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, Originally when it came out, they sold for around $40 USD according to FiiO's news bulletin. https://www.fiio.com/newsinfo/54677.html

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, I would prefer FiiO as the better brand for a USB DAC.

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I feel like headphones reached a peak even ones from ten years ago sound better than new ones
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @K3Nv3, all depends how much money you wanna spend. I had skullcandy headphones and shit way back when but I never liked anything as much as the headphones (and earbuds) I use nowadays

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ yeah fwiw I've been quite happy with my FiiO BTR5 so I don't have any specific reason to not a FiiO again. Just gotta see what's available and how much I'm trying to spend lol

    I have the FiiO X1-ii, and love what it does, but the battery life is kinda ass and the sluggish, unresponsive menu makes me regret my purchase a little.
