Does a 3DS with b9s and no SD card inserted just act essentially like a completely unhacked 3DS? I've just sold my old 3DS, couldn't be bothered uninstalling a9lh so I just updated to b9s since I knew it worked without an SD card inserted. Hopefully it does work just like an untouched 3DS. Also were the recent bans completely console wide? I did a factory reset but will any account on it be banned if I got caught in the ban? I haven't even checked, the thing hasn't been turned on before now since I installed a9lh for the first time. Hopefully even if it is banned the buyer doesn't notice. I'm being very sneaky and risky, just hoping I get away with it  .

If you installed b9s to the nand (which you did if you followed the guide to update a9lh to b9s) that console will still have b9s and a form of luma on it unless you uninstalled it from the nand as well. The bans were consoles only. Your NNID and purchases (and e-shop access) remained working.

Since the OG DS homebrew thread is long-dead, I just wanted to ask anybody that had a lot of experience with DS flash cards: why did the R4 series have such a brutally awful reputation? Every wiki or thread I saw about flash cards always seemed to have "AVOID R4/i/gold AT ALL COSTS," but I bought a plain old R4 for like $8 in China, and aside from the 2GB microSD limitation, I literally never had a single issue with it. No incompatibility, the firmware was updated as often as it needed to be (it was WoodR4 or something like that?), etc. I still have and love that card in my beat-up pink DS Lite, and the backups for my entire DS collection is small enough to fit on a flash drive; 2GB of games is still a good 15-20 games which is plenty. I just never understood why some of the cards that cost $50+ at the time were so much better supposedly. Also, why are 16/8-bit system flash carts so drat expensive? I gave up on the SNES and NES ones long ago since they're like $200 and $120 respectively, but even the OG Game Boy one is like $90. I picked up a gray DMG Game Boy and a berry GB Color in excellent shape, and the DMG could be a fun project to add in the backlight and bivert mod, but uuuuugh trying to track down regular GB games nowadays...

The R4 had a metric ton of fakes being sold as the real thing and they were kinda lovely. I think that was the main reason it had the bad reputation.

A reasonable SNES one is around $90, it's only $200 for the sd2snes which while cool only gives you so much over the much cheaper one. Some of the cost is because the FPGAs to simulate the memory mappers just aren't that cheap, though a lot of the cost is because these are pretty small batches. Like the R4s and clones were cheap because tons of people were buying them and tons were being made, but when you're making a few hundred PCBs at a time and not at a factory it's just more expensive that way.

Foehammer posted:To add on to this, a lot of the clones had timebomb code to brick the cart after a year haha really holy poo poo really? I went to this little mall with like 20 vendors selling all kinds of crazy bootleg gaming poo poo, and I literally bought the absolute cheapest, most basic R4 card I could find (at this point they had R4i's and R4 Golds and such). Guess I got lucky! Aside from the usual "Android device shaped exactly like a PSP" type things, a couple of places were selling bootleg DS Lites that were absolutely indistinguishable from the real thing, except for the fact that they were selling them in all kinds of crazy colors and patterns that weren't official. One guy let me pull a random one out of its box and try it out; the firmware looked dead-on and it booted and played both the DS and GBA games I had with me in my actual DS Lite. I honestly would have pegged them as just actual DSLs with custom shells or paint jobs, except for the price; they were selling them for like $60. (this was in 2011 so they were technically outdated by the XL and the DSi, but I think they were still >$100 new at the time). Really should have bought 1 or 2 for the novelty if anything.

How risky is a Wii U mod? It looked like there were a few more things to worry about compared to modding a 3DS, in that you could do it through a browser exploit or a game exploit and those being noticably different from each other or something. Should I just go ahead and grab a bigger and card than the one it came with and get one of the games to hack it with?

Should I just go ahead and grab a bigger and card than the one it came with and get one of the games to hack it with? Wii u mod just uses the browser to install a ds game exploit which eventually turns into an auto boot ds exploit which is totally fine unless there's an update to the system menu or you delete the ds game. If an update happens it may gracefully just fix stuff by replacing the fw.img file. If it doesn't your bricked. If you delete the ds game somehow even though the custom firmware the exploit is auto loading on boot specifically blocks that you also are bricked. Basically barring Nintendo updating a dead console things are fine.

Looks like it may not block that stuff. Basically if you setup coldboot haxchi you can't format the Wii u, delete the ds game, redownload the ds game from the eShop, move it to usb storage, etc or you brick since coldboot haxchi causes the Wii u to boot that game instead of your system menu and if the game is missing the Wii u doesn't know what to do. You can always stop at haxchi and running the exploited ds game each time you turn on your Wiiu.

All my games recently started saying the servers were undergoing maintenance. For days. So did another modded 3ds. A simple restart fixed it though, which is great since it looked like a sneaky ban at first.

I'd go with this guide. It's a lot easier to follow than wiiu.guide, even if it doesn't let you make a backup of your system beforehand, and you can actually ask people for help on its discord channel.

Yo here's probably a loaded and deeper question than I might know but I've got Freakyhax but I'm getting a bit tired having to go through the whole shebang to get into Homebrew Launcher using Freakyhax; is there an as-easy-as-freakyhax way to just like, launch HBL from the homescreen?

I wouldn't install switch hacks so early neither, since they always need to find workarounds and fix anything that immediately causes bans for players.

IMO the only good time to hack a Nintendo console is at the end of its life when you don't care if you get banned from online and/or the eshop. Although my hope with the switch is it's long lived enough that this is all far off. Also it has some really good multiplayer games that most sane people wouldn't want to be banned from
