Just installed it! Everything went super smooth and was done in just a second. Now it boots directly into my emunand, so I may stay on it and have sysnand on 9.2 just in case.

Okay, I just have to give my opinion on this "release".
I recently upgraded from O3DS to N3DS, and have heard about the scary downgrading to 2.1 for N3DS, so I'd say this came just in time, and it couldn't be easier, I honestly laughed a bit at how fast and easy it went.
Also: "Do not use without a hardmod" *proceeds to stare at name* "Unsafe" "Sounds good to me!" *Installs without hardmod on brand new hyrule edition N3DS XL*

I have installed A9LH on my N3DS twice using older versions of the installer/guide and I never faced any issue while on FW2.1 ( for the 10 minutes that it was installed that is ).

I suppose that's the case as long as you know what you're doing. Nonetheless, being able to cut that step altogether, just awesome.
Actually am having a seperate issue (which I think is related to Luma3DS), I can't seem to load any version of Decrypt9, do you, by any chance, know what is the cause/solution for it?

homebrew or payload? In any case make sure that you are using the latest version

Well, it may require multiple attemps. For more info about payload chaining you could check Luma3DS' documentation

https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/wiki/Other-features-and-notes
Using the documentation you linked I managed to load it through payload chaining (very convenient), can't dump health & safety in a9lh it seems though (something about slot0x25key missing), so I'll have to get homebrew decrypt9 working tomorrow, maybe try a different entrypoint. In any case thanks for the help!

You need the aeskeys database from Plailect's guide in your files9 folder.

Download aeskeydb.bin from here: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-3-(A9LH)

And put it in a directory called files9, which should be in your SD root. If it isn't there, create it and put inside the aeskeydb.bin file. You will be able to dump the H&S app after that.

Thanks to the both of you for helping me out here ^^, really appreciate it.
That should solve that issue at least.
Still strange the homebrew versions don't work though.

Did you update SysNAND? If so, homebrew versions won't load, since even with patched FIRMs, the Home Menu still doesn't have ARM9 access directly if over 9.2. Anyway, you can load everything as BIN payloads.

Nope, not updated yet.
It worked before the otpless installation, since I used it to make a nand backup.
But ah well, as long as I have access to it all through a9lh it really doesn't matter does it?
