rename the "arm9loaderhax.bin" to "arm9loaderhax_si.bin" that should fix your problem

 

[martinjamesccorpuz]

then which one should i put in anim folder?

 

[Deleted User]

the arm9 that plays the animation should be at the root, and the arm9 that launches Luma should be in the "anim" folder renamed as "arm9payload.bin"

If that doesn't work you will need to update your a9lh.

 

[martinjamesccorpuz]

and rename it to "arm9loaderhax_si.bin" right?

If that doesn't work you will need to update your a9lh.

should I update Luma to 7.0.4?

 

[lonewolf08]

and rename it to "arm9loaderhax_si.bin" right?

Yes, bootanim9 payload should be renamed to arm9loaderhax_si.bin on the root and luma payload should be renamed arm9payload.bin in anim folder.
Root:
arm9loaderhax_si.bin----------bootanim9 payload
- anim/---------folder

- 0/----------folder inside anim

- anim
- bottom_anim
- config​

- 1/-------another folder if you have more

- anim
- config​

Arm9payload.bin----------lumas payload inside anim folder​

And no you don't need to update luma if you don't want a9lh not the same as luma, luma is just the cfw

I just renamed the the one at the root and nothing will show on screen and it only flash a blue light

Is your file structure the same as above? If it is try redownloading the animations to make sure it isn't corrupt.
Edit: each animations will have its own folder my example stops at two but if you have say 4 then you need 4 folders inside anim named 0,1,2,3,4 you can't leave one folder empty meaning you can't jump numbers. Try without the config file. That's all I can think off at the moment.

i should just redownload the anim9 again

where do i get the config?

 

[lonewolf08]

i should just redownload the anim9 again

I don't think that's necessary but the steps for troubleshooting should be:

1. Make sure folders and files are in right place and named correctly meaning no .bin.bin etc
2. See if naming bootanim9 to arm9loaderhax works.
3. If above don't work try arm9loaderhax_si
4. Download the animations again maybe they got corrupt.
5. Download payloads again maybe they got corrupt
6. If none of the things work than you have super old a9lh that doesn't have screen init and need to update a9lh

I don't think you need to do the last one since your screen flashed and most likely has to do with your animation files/structure.

Edit: the config file usually comes with the animations some won't have it though.

How you manage to delete everything but the folders... Anyway just put the stuff back that you use. You're on your own on this one since I have no idea what you use and what you don't use and this blew my mind or you can just look at the blurry ass photo that you uploaded earlier and find those files again. Anyway I'm out goodbye.

Check your recycle bin.
