If I have already RxTools, how I can replace it with AuReiNAND?
Just a "if" question.

Yes. You can run as many CFWs as you want, if you have a bootloader(such as CtrBootManager). You just need to download (Au)ReiNand from GitHub + the firm files from a link in the GitHub.

Yea, I don't use splash, it may looks nice but it feels less clean than real coldboot.

u16 padInput = ~(*(u16*)0x10146000);
        if((padInput & (1<<0)) && tryLoadFile("/rei/payloads/a.bin"))
            jumpAndTryEnableBL("/rei/payloads/a.bin");
        else if((padInput & (1<<1)) && tryLoadFile("/rei/payloads/b.bin"))
            jumpAndTryEnableBL("/rei/payloads/b.bin");
        else if((padInput & (1<<2)) && tryLoadFile("/rei/payloads/select.bin"))
            jumpAndTryEnableBL("/rei/payloads/select.bin");
        else if((padInput & (1<<3)) && tryLoadFile("/rei/payloads/start.bin"))
            jumpAndTryEnableBL("/rei/payloads/start.bin");
        else if((padInput & (1<<4)) && tryLoadFile("/rei/payloads/right.bin"))
            jumpAndTryEnableBL("/rei/payloads/right.bin");
        else if((padInput & (1<<5)) && tryLoadFile("/rei/payloads/left.bin"))
            jumpAndTryEnableBL("/rei/payloads/left.bin");
        else if((padInput & (1<<6)) && tryLoadFile("/rei/payloads/up.bin"))
            jumpAndTryEnableBL("/rei/payloads/up.bin");
        else if((padInput & (1<<7)) && tryLoadFile("/rei/payloads/down.bin"))
            jumpAndTryEnableBL("/rei/payloads/down.bin");
        else if((padInput & (1<<8)) && tryLoadFile("/rei/payloads/r.bin"))
            jumpAndTryEnableBL("/rei/payloads/r.bin");
        else if((padInput & (1<<9)) && tryLoadFile("/rei/payloads/l.bin"))
            jumpAndTryEnableBL("/rei/payloads/l.bin");
        else if((padInput & (1<<10)) && tryLoadFile("/rei/payloads/x.bin"))
            jumpAndTryEnableBL("/rei/payloads/x.bin");
        else if((padInput & (1<<11)) && tryLoadFile("/rei/payloads/y.bin"))
            jumpAndTryEnableBL("/rei/payloads/y.bin");
        else if(tryLoadFile("/rei/CFW.bin"))
        {
                jump();

It'll boot CFW.bin if no buttons are pressed, otherwise it will boot any payloads named after the buttons AND activate the backlight, no need to use a _bl file.

Just compiled it, working great. But it would be better if it was included into AuReiNand. FIX94 had a wonderful idea, really and people seems to ignore it a bit, even if it is just waaay cleaner.

Probably got the variable types all messed up, but wouldn't this work?

const string payloads[] = {"a", "b", "select", "start", "right", "left", "up", "down", "r", "l", "x", "y"};
u16 padInput =~(*(u16*)0x10146000);
bool loaded = false;
for(int i = 0; i <= 11; i++){
    if((padInput &(1<<i))&& tryLoadFile("/rei/payloads/"+payloads[i]+"bin")){
        loaded = true;
        jumpAndTryEnableBL("/rei/payloads/"+payloads[i]+"bin");
    }
}
if(!loaded && tryLoadFile("/rei/CFW.bin"))
    jump();

Much smaller and cleaner IMO

Awesome work Aurora!

Can it run 10.7 emuNAND/sysNAND? Yes.

Can it run on 10.7 sysNAND? No.

Edit: talk about being ninja'd so quickly...

I have my sysNAND on 10.7

It was you told me it was safe to do so and it's working fine

AuReiNand does work on a haxed 10.7 you can't install it on a 10.7 with no hax

yuuupp lost in translation i think mate, mine runs on a9lh 10.7 sysnand using AuRei

 

[DjoeN]

Pitty you can't run GW cheats if you autoboot sysnand 10.7 :/

 

[leonmagnus99]

thats why i stick to emuNAND and not touching my sysNAND fw. (have only used Cheats in one game though, cause it frustrated me and i just take the story seriously, gameplay is so-so thus i wanna finish it quick, so i used a level up cheat XD) 'cause using cheats lot and not just in one game, it kills the fun in gaming imo. unless you dont care about the game your playing.
we need a big update from the GW team in order to have more options i guess.

 

[toto621]

Maybe Aurora will be able to implement a cheat system similar to NTR (cool but a pain to search for new cheat yourself) or Gateway (would be awesome)...or simply found how to allow gateway users to boot it on a9lh SysNAND (best option if you ask me).

 

[dimmidice]

I got it working on my N3DS 9.0 sys 10.7 emunand. but the bootrate is rather poor. any way to improve the bootrate without installing A9hl? since that requires downgrading and is just a whole lot of effort.

Menuhax is the one that fails, not the CFW.
Unfortunately there's not much you can do (besides install A9LH).

Use a bootmanager(bootctr or ctrbootmanager) and mess with the delay/autobootfix. Also try the 2.6 ropbin payload for your system or the 2.1/lesshax payloads for your system. The different payloads will help with menuhax failing and the bootmanagers will help with the cfw failing

I'm trying to use the latest version to let me load decrypt9 by holding left+L+R when it boots by using the new payloads folder feature but when I try it, I just get a black screen. Am I doing something wrong?

Did you properly place the payload in there?

Have you named it "left.bin"?

not sure what you're trying to say, but you can already launch Gateway from AuReuiNand. You just have to launch 9.0~9.2 sysnand with the 9.0 native_firm (either hold L on boot, or build your own like I did, so it always boots that way (edit: and don't use the 'updatedsysnand' flag)). From there, you can launch hblauncher_loader on o3ds, or use MSET on N3ds to launch GW.

 

[Ryft]

Well I fixed it because I had flubbed up the files but now Aureinand gives me a black screen... I'm just going to delete everything and copy the files back lol.

EDIT: I'm still getting a black screen on boot without holding any buttons... not sure what is going on.

I know that but it's counter productive with the whole idea to have Updated SysNAND and Gateway. If you must have either 9.2 sysNAND + up-2-date EmuNAND or up-2-date SysNAND + 9.2 EmuNAND then you better not use a9lh at all (as a Gateway user).
So until someone find a way to use 3dsx with 10.x firmware or create a payload to cold boot Launcher.dat, Gateway users cannot take the whole benefit of a9lh (and by whole I mean you can also ditch emuNAND).

umm... it's not counter productive. There is no ARM11 kernel exploit on >9.2 and GW NEEDS that for its cool features, and GW mode (at least on emunand) can't do twl or AGB.
