Hey guys, I really need your help. I modded my New 3DS about 1 1/2 years ago, never had any Problems with it. But about a week ago, I left my 3DS on on the "illegitimate E-Shop" to download some game.
About 2 hours later, I returned to it being frozen up on the download screen and everything (->on screen buttons, etc) having a weird purple artifact glitch. I couldnt do anything with the buttons, so I shut it down holding the power button until it turned off, in hopes that that would fix it. Now, some times when I power it on, it boots fine and then stays on the home menu for some time, then freezes up and I have the same problem with the freezing. Other times when I power it on, it flashes the notification led red- or purple, and shows the missing boot.firm screen. I have already replaced the boot.firm on the SD. I have already reformatted the SD (using FAT32FORMATTER) then checked the sd with H2testw and formatted again, afterwards put my data back on. I dont know what to do anymore. I am suspecting it has something to do with the 3ds update (I had it downloaded but not installed, Luma and b9s were upgraded to the latest version) But also when I boot into safe mode, it freezes up.

If somebody knows something I dont, please help

When I try without the SD, it either flashes the notification light purple, or gives the unable to load CTRNand boot.firm, please use an external one.

Please try without SD.

Also please run a hardware (memory) test.

    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".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    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
