You'd have to be crazy to screw it up beyond recovery.Doubt it will. It's pretty damn easy by now.
Unfortunately.... some still manage to do so *cough*Oh why do I need to backup?! I'd better skip the backup then blame Plailect's guide for bricking me!*cough* x.xYou'd have to be crazy to screw it up beyond recovery.
The easiest thing to do is to follow the guide until you get a9lh but then:I just realised, going through the early stages of the process, that I am going to end up with an A9LH sysNAND with my CIAs on it, and that if I want to play the .3DS games on my Gateway I am going to have to boot that separately anyway.
Seems pointless at this stage to go through this entire setup just to save myself 15 seconds half the time I use my 3DS.
Is there any way to boot to Gateway quicker using these methods? Or to play the games on my Gateway card directly from sysNAND?
Ugh
"Mommy, this evil jerk bricked me console becuz it wont tuz on and dey told me to and i am a good kid never do bad. Mommy, can u sue them.? omg such jerk I am so erfect y u do dis. Ill flip on my hacker macine and hac you in call of duty."Unfortunately.... some still manage to do so *cough*Oh why do I need to backup?!

Like that?

You can use gateway on sysNAND too. You can have it as a Luma payload so when you hold a key it boots gateway. If you have no emuNAND on your SD card it will boot gateway sysNAND mode.Gateway has an arm9loaderhax.bin launcher. You can use this to Boot gateway mode with arm9loaderhax.
But gateway has outdated software. It only supports emunand booting, and more importantly, Lacks firm protection.
So use gateway if you want. It "supports" a9lh.
But at this point booting sysNAND gateway isn't smart because it lacks FIRM write protection. And I have doubts Gateway will ever even add that to sysNAND modeYou can use gateway on sysNAND too.

It is technically easier, but it is also much more prone to causing issues, and in particular bricking. The Guide for standard A9LH goes through a tougher and longer process, but doing so adds protection to prevent bricks from occuring. Along with that gateway's A9LH implementation will only launch gateway and nothing else, meaning all of the other arm9 payloads are unusable if you use their version.Isn't Gatewait's method "easier"?
Good to know. I'm on A9LH v1 from when 10.7 was the latest OFW. I feel like I did my A9LH at just the right time. My main entrypoint was 9.2U Sysnand browswehax > hblauncher > install OoT3DHax, and I went from there.It is technically easier, but it is also much more prone to causing issues, and in particular bricking.

If you use both Luma and GW I don't see what the problem would be. I installed A9LH v2 on my brother's 2DS and it's set to boot Gateway and Luma in sysNAND mode. There isn't even an emuNAND on it anymore. Sure there's no FIRM prot on GW but I can just update with Luma and that'd be that.But at this point booting sysNAND gateway isn't smart because it lacks FIRM write protection.

Make mistake and you'll regret it forever.If you use both Luma and GW I don't see what the problem would be.

It's easy to discern the two though?? If you head to system settings to update and it says "GW3D" simply press X and you'll reboot straight into Luma. Update and you''re good to go. If you don't update through system settings, simply press "select" to check if you're in gateway mode or not.Make mistake and you'll regret it forever.

I am a relatively happy Gateway user on an old 3DS booting through MenuHAX loader and multiboot thingy. I usually keep up with changes/updates to the mod/hack scene, but A9LH is far too imposing and I just don't have the time to spare to install it. The instructions are insane, and I still have no real sense whether I can transfer over all my CIAs and saves safely (and easily) once it's all done.
Is it likely that a much more streamlined replacement to A9LH is going to come along?
For now I am happy with my 25 second boot time (with 99% success rate) but eventually I am sure the scene will mean I have to update.
