Guide_3ds: Hello, I'd like to point out a serious issue that I ran into with the NAND backup.

Created on 27 Feb 2017  ·  4Comments  ·  Source: hacks-guide/Guide_3DS

This guide states several times that creating a NAND backup is important. That's all well and good, but what it fails to state is how easy it is to accidentally skip that part!

I pressed B at the part where it asked me to backup my NAND in an attempt to return to the previous option and was horrified to watch as the 3DS suddenly started overwriting my NAND. Can a note be added mentioning that it is possible to accidentally skip the backup if you're not careful?

Nothing written there refers to the issue I mentioned. I went in knowing I needed to do the NAND backup. I was not expecting that it was possible to skip that section by accident.

It seems to me that you are the one that doesn't know how to read.

Maybe add a suggestion to Hourglass9's repo to maybe have a key combo to input to confirm you really want to proceed without backing up your NAND.

It's decrypt9 that does the ctr transfer not hourglass9

This will be irrelevant soon given upcoming changes to the tools used.
