So I followed the hack guide right to the end and it went as smooth as butter. I skiped one part, the firmare update... that is because I would like to confirm that I can just update the firmware as per normal? no special tricks, just update software from the settings menu?

Yes. It's safe

So, I can't seem to launch any homebrew from the Homebrew Launcher on my O3DS. I have both a N3DS and an O3DS. Homebrew seems to work just fine on my N3DS, but my O3DS throws an Exception error whenever I attempt to launch anything. Both are on Luma 8.1.1 and using B9S (Granted, my N3DS I think might be on 1.2, but I know the O3DS is on 1.3).

I did just update a lot of the homebrew on my O3DS (it was on an older version of B9S, Luma, and even official firmware) so some of that might have something to do with it. IIRC, you need the latest version of the Homebeew Loader to match your firmware, don't you? Could that be the issue? If so, how can I manually update the Homebrew Loader? And if not, any suggestions what else can be the issue? I am not even really sure just where it's loading the Homebrew Loader app from to manually update it. I use the Rosalina menu method of re-assigning a random app as the HB Loader app.

@Quantumcat The link in the community recommended flashcard part of first post is broken. Also it might be a good idea to change it. Maybe to r4i gold 3ds plus?
Thanks, do you have a link to one? One that works as a normal DS flashcart right away (not one of the switch ones) and is also very compatible with ntrboot (backup firmware is available and easy to find etc)?

Follow this to update your Luma
version. Luma3DS no longer supports arm9loaderhax.

Is there any reason to use any specific method to uninstall an app installed in CIA format over another? Is there any reason I should just delete it from System Settings->Data Managment, or through FBI, or any other method that would be "better" in any way over another? Would either Data Managment or FBI remove any trace of an installed CIA if I use them to uninstall it?

They will all do the same thing. FBI has the option to delete the ticket as well (so it isn't redownloadable from the eShop).

    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?

    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox.
