Hacking Boot9Strap vs a9LH and some other questions

[Majickhat55]

There is no point NOT to update, if you want to keep using Luma you have to anyway.

I'm on 11.2 with A9LH. I have full Gateway functionality, to include CIA installed games (I use this for cheat searching, and it supports cheats that you WILL NOT have available on NTR), ctr-httpwn works, and I have full access to online play and eshop. Not only is there a reason to "not update", there's not many compelling TO update...at this point in time. Until such time as Nintendo and/or Luma offer a feature in a future update that necessitates an update, you're perfectly fine staying right where you're at provided you're using a moderately recent Luma.

I don't disagree with you, but if you're not using Gateway, then there is no reason to use out dated exploits period, whether they work or not.

I updated just now and the boot times are the same for a9 and b9, not even a tiny difference, so if someone is updating for boot time reduction like me than you are out of luck

In this present point of time, maybe a lot of users would not find much point, but the boot9strap method only takes a few minutes to setup and there is far less chance of Nintendo patching it (if at all, in comparison to a9lh - which is also unlikely). In the forthcoming weeks/months, lets see what all this may bring

Can I update from the original v1 a9lh and non ctrnand A9LH?

Sure you can. Follow the info on 3ds.guide. The whole process will not take long

I kinda wish I held off until boot animations were working. Cuz at this time B9S isn't doing anything for me that a9lh wasn't doing for me, except loading up only slightly faster. But its also such a small thing that I don't care all that much and I'm sure boot animations will be back soon enough.

Oh I feel the same way, surprisingly something I don't even think about with normal use is the one thing I miss the most Lol. I'm left with a void.

My O3ds XL is on 11.4.0-37E and i am using Luma.
So i need to update to get Luma updates is that correct?
I read the 3ds guide and i think i need to use the DSIWARE install but not sure.
Hoping someone could clarify for me please.
Will i lose any saves etc when i update?
Thanks

You don't need dsiwarehax, just follow the guide
No, you won't lose anything.

Wow that was painless to upgrade from A9Lh to Boot9

 

[Cha0tic]

Will updating from a9lh would I lose all my installed games?

No. Everything will stay as it was with the exception that a9lh will be replaced by boot9

What are the consequences of not going to b9s?

 

[thealgorithm]

What are the consequences of not going to b9s?

I guess from now, there will be more things specifically for b9s (Luma for example will not be updated for a9lh anymore)
Also the chance of Nintendo patching this are apparently not possible (although a9lh can in theory - maybe not?) have more chance of being patched
