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?

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @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.

    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.

    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
