after installimng devmenu and bbm, i tried loading without p[ressing L but cant get it to work. pressing L gets in most times... will pressing L have any negative effects in the long run? so far cfw has been really good, but havnt tried playing online or anything yet
Holding L is to set up the network install of the devmenu The 3ds will freeze before you can do anything else. I'm surprised your able to do anything. Booting the CFW without holding any button is the normal boot method for the cfw.
