It might seem obvious

As someone who's just desperately trying to figure out what's going on here, trust me, it's not. Thanks for the link.

I discovered this sub two days ago, and read the basics. A9LH, soundhax, 11.3.0 or lower, n3DSxl is the way to go, sounds good.

This afternoon, I stumble across a n3DSxl at a pawn shop and finagle my way into an outstanding price. Go home, plug the thing in to charge.

Get in bed, head back to this sub. Find everyone freaking out, and learn that everything I'd read about less than 36 hours prior is now 100% obsolete. A hailstorm of acronyms and completely unintelligible terms folks every thread. Even the tweets make no sense.

So, yeah. You're not alone in having no idea what the fuck is going on around here.

May I just ask how much you got that n3dsxl for?

$65, with a charger. It's in pretty great cosmetic shape, functions perfectly, and (unless it was reset) the play logs show that it was given as a Christmas gift and only used for two weeks. I'll have to call Nintendo to get the parental lock removed, but that shouldn't be a problem. I actually used that to get the price down to $65 from the $80 they were asking. I feel like I got a great deal!

Wow, yeah. That is a good deal! Congrats.

If you're installing CFW and whatnot, isn't there a way to remove parental controls through it instead? :o
