They aren't fixing or replacing anything if you hacked it with luma. If they find out they will just ship it back to you and refuse service cause you already broke the one rule they hate. Installing unauthorized content. Even warrenty can be voided that way, if they find out. Which i'm sure they will since they know about this a9lh and will test for it anyway possible. SO please just get someone else to do it, nintendo won't help and you should know that the moment you install a9lh. Ask a hard modder here if they can fix it for you, is better that way. Do not request help from nintendo for any repairs if the system has any relation to a9lh.

Nintendo won't bother fixing anything, they'll just give you another refurbished system in similar condition after charging you the full price of a used system for "repair"

That is true. I remember sending my o3DS to them I was positive when I got it back that wasn't my actual 3DS.

that would be so ass that it will make me day :rofl2:
good one
I thought all that needs to be done is for them to update SAFE_MODE firm...

There haven't been any updates for it (AFAIK) because there's a risk of perma-brick but at a repair center they could do it safely if there's an updated version available...

    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
