Please update SaltFW's feature set.

Did I miss something?
I just noticed that I did miss a feature and that's the Firm protection

The source is always available on my Github, but yeah, I don't really distribute binaries of it anymore. Feel free to compile it yourself if you want to try it out.

I'm really sorry for the offtopic and nooby question, but how do I turn source files from GitHub into what they're meant to be? I havent found anything that is actually helpful and I've been looking all morning. I even asked on a couple websites but no one has answered. I can't figure out how to ask questions on here either cause I can't find the "ask question" or "start thread" button in the Ask! section. I'm really frustrated by all of this right now. :cry:

Great post, as a noob I didn't ever know about the other CFW, I mean, ofc I knew they exist, but not that they keep working for A9LH.

@Crystal the Glaceon
How do you multi boot CFWs ?
Do you need to add different entries for each of them in luma/payloads , and make a different folder at the root of the SD ?
How to use CtrBootManager ?
Cakes need firmware.bin and slotkey, I suppose it's pointless if we have a9hl right ?

Do you need to add different entries for each of them in luma/payloads , and make a different folder at the root of the SD ? The official thread actually gives you an example config set up, here. You do need to add an entry for each CFW/A9LH app that you want to run.
How to use CtrBootManager ? That is explained on the official thread
Cakes need firmware.bin and slotkey, I suppose it's pointless if we have a9hl right ? You still need all the files required to get CakesFW running, regardless if it's A9LH or Menuhax. So you still need the firmware.bin and slotkey.

Thanks.

Corbenik section added!
Once the stage_2 CFW's get released, I will add a section for those as well.

The Catboy · Jun 16, 2016

I added a FAQ section!

Firm0/1 protection: If you are running A9LH, Firm0/1 protection is built-in, but needs to be turned on via the configuration menu.

Nice copy-paste to SaltFW from another CFW.

Also, maybe have a table instead of two seperate lists for A9LH/Menuhax.

Sometimes I get really lazy. So lazy, that I can't even come up with a creative excuse.
I will test out that idea! Thanks

I fixed that section to be less copy/pastes than before!

Few minor things:
* CPU speed hack is supported on N3DS. It gets automatically hidden on O3DS because it does nothing.
* Luma supports the Dev patches as well. It just requires the Dev build.

I will add those now!

I disagree with the characterization of Cakes as ArchLinux. ArchLinux is known for being unstable and breaking frequently. It's more like OpenBSD: it doesn't do anything fancy unless you run patches, but tends to be written extremely well and does things the "right way."

Yeah, but Arch Linux is also more well-known, which is why I went for Arch Linux over a lesser known OS.

Quick question guys, If I set up A9HL, can I still use an emunand?
==edit==

Yes I know it beats the purpose, but I have a JAP n3ds, and a USA Emunand, after setting up A9HL (with a JAP Emunand) Can I later replace the emunand on the SD card and launch into the emunand normally?

Yes, you can.

Hi"Crystal the Glaceon", may I pick your brain on what i should use for a cfw?
Currently I'm running Reinand and I like it, however I want to do "cro Editing" on Pk3ds like type modifications for making a custom ROM, however i read and experienced that CRO editing is only supported on Luma3ds. If so How can I change my cfw to luma from Reinand?

Thanks for creating this thread makes it easier for noob like me.

SaltFW also supports CRO editing but it's a9lh only.

Figure I should mention that Corbenik also supports it - but again, a9lh only.

Izaya-Orihara · Jun 26, 2016

so which cfw would be better because i got my 3ds modded by someone, so I don't really know the differences and what "a9lh" means?

Thank you for replying truly appreciate it.
