haha bricked 3ds go wheeeee

a lot of this shit is stuff im learning from here and gbatemp. pretty cool, huh??
there was a strange error that i came across one time back in december of 2022. i'll show you what happened:
if an error is core 1 or core 3 (or even core 2 or core 4??) and its a process ive not heard of before, i'll be there on google like "[process] service 3dbrew" LOL
anyways, time for me to talk about my top favourite: the dreaded bootrom 8046 error:
the bootrom 8046 screen, also known as the blue screen of death, appears when the 3ds can't find a suitable firmware to boot into. think of it like the windows bootloader. i can't seem to find much info about many of these errors as 3dbrew only shows a few errors out of like, many possible errors LOL
im pretty sure this part here is where the 3ds bootloader tried to access. i could be really wrong (if i am, please tell me!!) here. ive seen different combinations of these: 00F800FE, 00FE00FE, 02F800FE, 02F8CFFF, etc... there's so many ive found on the internet...
ive noticed a pattern in these errors. errors that end in FE and EF on the 2nd row are usually hardware related. errors that end in FF or EE seem to be software related... the worst errors of them all are 00F800FE 00000000 00000000 00000400 00000000 (nand chip cant be detected, whether thats because its missing or fried) and in some cases, 00F800FE 00000000 00000000 00000200 00000000 (usually a success code for 3ds hardmodding, but can also correspond to a dead nand chip if you havent hardmodded it). basically any error that has "00000000" on the third row means your 3ds is dead.
also... this. this makes me really curious... i cant find anything about this error:
i reckon there's info about it somewhere. i think... hmm......
i almost forgot to mention. this isn't 3ds related, but did you know the dsi has its own bootloader error?? it has two, actually!!
this one happens on bootstage1. pretty much the equivalent of the bootrom 8046 error (0000fe00 is the dsi equivalent of error code 400 on the 3ds)...
anyways, ive infodumped a LOT on this blog post.
not sure what im gonna do from here for my site. im really wanting to start on the vosim jink archive page. maybe a new 404 page or a new landing page... so much to DO!!!!!! ;___;
