Cakes Emunand as default (visible menu for configuration, multi-emunand up to 4), stable, no need to update and change things every single day :P
L for AuReiNand 9.0
R for Decrypt9WIP

7.5s booting into Emunand, as fast as OFW Sysnand with SD.

What SD card do you have? I can't get my 3DS to boot faster than 10 seconds, and I use sysNAND. I've tried Cakes, AuReiNAND, and some other private CFW.
They all boot in 10 seconds.

Can I use a9lh with emunand? I think emunand is safer since if you screw it no problem it is just a emunand and easy to restore a backup.

You can, but with A9LH with CakesFW or AuReiNand if you brick it's easy to restore as emuNAND with Decrypt9WIP

I've been working on multiple things (mostly adding stuff to ctrulib).. kinda was getting burnt out from reinand.. But I uploaded the reinand mod i used for my dev unit for a while.. i just happened to come back to it months later and fixed a few things, rebased it and voila, emuannd on dev units x3
I'll try to push a branch for o3ds soon-ish.

Maybe I'm late to reply, but hey, ctrulib improvements are really helpfull, cant think of something better now with all these arm9 privileges =)

Try using smaller SD cards. I use a 32gb one and always boot in something beetween 7-10sec on Sysnand using Cakes. The icons take a little extra seconds to load tho.

A9LH need to be installed on sysNAND. You can use both on both NANDs and AuReiNand can play GBA/DS games too

Yeah, AuReiNAND is the only CFW that allows you to play games such as Smash Bros/Monster Hunter (games that reboot when exiting) and GBA/DSiWare games at the same time. Cakes doesn't. In Cakes you need to have a compromise, either GBA/DSiWare, or games such as Smash Bros. This is why I recommend AuReiNAND over Cakes, especially on an o3DS.

I remember you, I helped you fix your issue yesterday. :P You're using AuReiNAND.

Haha, you did! I was confused because when i go into System Settings i dont have Rei pre-fix on the FW.. That made the think I am kicking into sysnand? Thanks for help...

Note i am also to remove the SD... I am guessing i need to try and run the hax again?.. If i try and boot without the SD its black screen..

It's not supposed to show that. AuReiNAND doesn't change the Ver. string in the System Settings. Also, doesn't really matter if you remove the SD card, you're on your sysNAND, so your 3DS won't crash if you remove it.

Thanks, I stupidly confused the fact i am booting SysNand/aurei and haven't "created" an emunand.. Should L+R on power on show me Emunand9? Because I get a black screen still if i try that.. Much appreciated :D

You'd need to add in a payload to be able to do that.
I'd say don't bother with an emuNAND anymore. SysNAND is as safe as emuNAND on A9LH.

So I've use CakedFW because I've read somewhere that Cakes has GBA support without the need of doing anything.

I still haven't installed any GBA VC, what CFW do I need to play GBA VC without having to patch agb_firm?

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
