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?

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    lmao
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
