___ Downgrading ≤ 10.7 to 9.2 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________
                                                    PROTIP: This comes first.

    Downgrading and Installing CFW - https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki
    For the basics, follow parts 1 through 3. Complete the guide to receive the full benefits of arm9loaderhax!

    >Which are?
    A far more stable method of loading CFW, noticeable bootrate and speed improvements. Unbrickable, never getting patched.

    >What's different between redNAND and emuNAND? Do I need to switch?
    The terms are interchangeable for the purposes of completing the guide http://3dbrew.org/wiki/NAND_Redirection

    Reminders:
       -Remove the Tubehax DNS before downgrading in case you soft-brick!
       -Always keep backups of your OTP, SD contents and NAND.
       -When downgrading, Menuhax may cause a blank screen. Pull SD card, error or manual reset. Reinsert, change theme, redo hax.

___ FAQ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    >Once a game is installed, can I delete the cia file?
    Yes, games don't actually run from cia files. Free that space up.

    >Browserhax runs like SHIT on 9.2
    It sure does! Try this: http://pastebin.com/BqETPf9V

    >Sometimes Menuhax hangs on a yellow screen
    That happens. Try downgrading to Themehax  https://gbatemp.net/threads/410764/

    >What's the status on getting DS games running as CIAs without flashcarts?
    Best compared to Hell freezing over.

Macfags: OS X automatically appends ._ to the beginning of .cia filenames for some reason. Just run "dot_clean *path to SD card*" in terminal after cd'ing into the directory of your SD card. See also: https://my.mixtape.moe/gqbgfa.png
