imo, I'd delete Menuhax, since it conflicted with A9LH, at least for me.
Since pressing L boots you into 9.2 with the 9.0 FIRM, while pressing R boots you into 9.2 with the 10.x FIRM (won't allow you to use certain homebrew).

Also, to update A9LH just follow this: https://gbatemp.net/threads/arm9loader-technical-details-and-discussion.408537/page-121#post-6113616

thanks a bunch my friend, but could you please tell me what that is all about with pressing L it will boot me into 9.2 with the 9.0 firm.
that confused me, ( my n3ds is on the 9.0 sys fw btw. ) so i am really confused about the R button also, booting me into 9.2 with the 10.x firm.

what is that all supposed to mean or do ? on another note, i basically installed A9LH for faster emuNAND booting and better bootrate, sorry for my noobish confusion ! XD

edit: the link you gave me, i already have saved that in my notes , the updating procedure, i thought it was only for og3DS'es, will it work for my n3ds as well?

1. Essentially, if you use L, you can use things such as Decrypt9. With R you can't. When I meant 9.2. that's also applied to 9.0.
2. Shouldn't really matter if you don't use things such as that :P
3. Works on both n3DS and o3DS.

alright , thanks mmmm i basically mostly use menuhax for HB , to get into HB and launch different apps at times. ( only when needed e.g D9 etc. ) can we somehow also boot into HB by holding down a button with A9LH ? if yes how?

cause you know i have the boot config thingie to boot me into HB with pressing the B button while it is coldbooting, if that is possible with A9LH then i will consider deleting menuhax.

If you want a quicker access to HBL, then yeah, keep Menuhax. As A9LH cannot boot in HBL.

The firm is used for games and homebrews so if you want to play some newer games you will have to boot into emunand with the 10.x firm and if you want homebrew like D9 you had to boot with 9.x firm.
Now that we can boot direct in to D9 and some of the interesting brahma 2 9.x firm only homebrews it isn´t that imprtant anymore.
You won´t use sysnand with 10.x firm if you don´t switch to sysnand as main nand and update or at least i don´t know for what some one would do that.

@Serphirot

well i actually dont want to mess around too much with my nands, i have unlinked nands.
and i dont like booting into sysNAND at all, unless i have something to do there.
my main is emuNAND, and so far all the cias i have work within AureiNANd emuNAND< so im good with it, mmm

edit: one thing that now confuses me again is, the firm 10.x stuff again, so when we boot straight into AureiNAND, what fw is then set bros??

what fw. is then set x__x because you mentioned "if you want to play some newer games you will have to boot into emunand with the 10.x firm" <<<< this confuses me .

edit2: XD sorry fellas, errr.. lets say i have placed the firm90 and the firmware bin from the NTR folder inside the rei folder, what fw. will my emuNAND be then?

You will boot into emunand with a modified 10.x firm (NTR scripts) so all games work, but D9 and other brahma 2 homebrew won´t work on emunand.
Which doesn´t matter because with a9lh you can boot direct into most of them or start them like before from the sysnand.
I also don´t like to play to much around with the sysnand that is why i still use emunand as my main nand.

You must use 9.0 FIRM (which was used on 9.0-9.2) with Decrypt9. 9.6 FIRM will not work.

I know i wrote that you have to use 10.x firm for games and 9.x for homebrew, but that most of the brahma 2 homebrews can be booted in direct with a9lh. ^^

Ah ok should i edit my post for it?
Most use 9.0 - 9.2 with 9.x firm who is using 9.6?
But yes you are right that it can be misunderstood.

As you wish.

>=9.6 SysNAND users uses 9.6 FIRM, but for CFW users I don't think that a lot of people is using it because it's pointless ^^

This is from 3.8.1, correct?
Try this: http://www28.zippyshare.com/v/itPIH37X/file.html (I had increased the delay for detecting the SD card slightly because some people had issues with the FAT library and the previous delay, this restores it)
If it doesn't work format your SD (maybe you have some FS corruption in there).
No problems so far with this one. By now it should have gave a black screen (with the old one). So its probably the delay, as you said. thank you again!
