Well, everything to install it. The rest is not. screeninits, for example, is private. it shouldn't be too hard anyway

I really would like to downgrade but am super reluctant as I repeatedly get fs errors on the regular sysupdater. If I used the sysupdater that deletes everything before installing the pack, will the chance of getting the fs error still be there or will the removal of all titles stop it from being declined?

Sounds like an sd card problem to be honest. I've downgraded multiple times already today and yesterday with sysupdater (various versions) with no fs errors or errors of any sort.

Hey sorry. Noob comment coming through, but what does this allow you to do? And it's N3ds only right?
Coldboot ARM9 execution (or, CFW as soon as your 3DS starts). And no, it works for O3DS too.

The few relevant notes from people who've got it working, though they're only vague tips at best.

I'll use the regular sysupdater with another SD card. Hopefully that'll work.

SD Card IN and the power light comes on for a second then goes off, SD Card OUT and it turns on as it should but obviously does nothing except sit on black screens.
*is confused* lol

If you have dumped your OTP already, then I suppose reflash your NAND with your hardmod.

The arm9loaderhax.bin is YOUR payload. You provide that. Be it a CFW or whatever.
Right, I'm guessing that without a payload to launch, it just shuts down. Ideally you'd want one that doesn't need the screen or any input. I think patois has a basic firmlaunch example on his github.

Do any CFW's actually rely on the screen init stuff? What I mean is, something like Cakes, could it be launched, without modification, even if the screen inits aren't working? Based on some problems had by others I'm guessing not, but hey you never know

It still works. Just no visuals. So just make it autoboot. Btw, to run any cakehax payload, extract from 0x12000 onwards.
