I replaced boot.firm with the latest nightly with B9S v1.1 and everything works good. GBA injects, Acekard 2i, 3DS games. I jumped the gun too soon on this one. Next time I'm just going with stable/official releases.

Sort of, not really.

Boot9strap uses the sighax (vulnerability in the bootloader) but it doesn't run sighax (the launcher from derrek). Instead it work like Aurora's A9LH payload and instead looks for boot.firm on your SD Card and if that doesn't exist it looks for boot.firm on your CTRNAND.

Basically boot9strap is safer and easier to use than sighax. As far as I know sighax doesn't support the NTRCard booting method either.

Sighax from derrek is just an installer. After using derrek's installer properly, and as long as you used Boot9Strap as the chainloader, you will end up with an identical setup as if you used SafeB9SInstaller. That's the only difference. It's just a different installer with less sanity checks.

I don't think so - isn't derrek's run completely from NAND, but b9s gets the payload from the SD card?

Really? I asked when SigHax.com was first released. I think it was in a thread with SciresM replying, but I can't remember exactly.

Doesn't SafeB9SInstaller install the chainloader firm to NAND? And that itself loads Luma from SD?
