I hope I'm on par with people's requests now. And too bad you can't see what the 3dsx looks like from A9LH :D

AWWW SNAP!! ima update right now!!! Love your work Aurora :wub:

Granted, since I'm only using sysNAND with A9LH installed, I guess I would not have to update really, but I still did anyway, works fine :D

EDIT: updated my sd files with the safe installer as well just in case I ever needed it.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. i feel dumb. that's hilarious lol. He changed the image from that anime girl Rei uses to Luma from Mario lol (that little thing that follows around Rosalina lmao).

Edit: so I'm having this issue where I try to load my other payload (uncart.bin) holding R+L+B and it just hangs forever on a black screen. I'm on the last update 3.9 AuReinand. Would updating to the newest fork 3.10 fix this issue?

Random question, but installing the AGB_FIRM-PatchedV1-0004013820000202.cia in order to play GBA VC games should not affect A9LH in any way right? I would think it wouldnt due to the FIRM protection Aurora has built in, but wanted to be sure just in case.

Nah, it shouldn't.
It should work normally, I have a patched AGB and TWL_FIRM firm on my sysNAND.

From the github page of the latest release:
Please note that you must delete all patched_firmwares from the aurei folder with this release!

I have patched_firmware_sys.bin inside the rei folder. That's the one I gotta delete, right? Just wanna make sure. And why do we have to delete it in the first place?

Yup, that's the one you have to delete.

Also, make sure to rename /rei/ to /aurei/.

Sorry for the noob question, is Auro arm9 build built into the SafeA9LHInstaller? how to get it?

thank you
SafeA9LHInstaller is just an installer. It can use any fork you give it.
Download Aurora's fork of A9LH, compile it, place the output files in a folder called /a9lh/ on the root of your SD card.
Add in those other files you previously used to compile A9LH (with your OTP), then do a full install on your 3DS.

I am currently running a9lh compiled with the ORIGINAL original method when it first came out and updated with screen_init with dark_samus3 updater. Running AuReiNAND as my CFW on only sysNAND.

Should I compile the @dark_samus3 arm9loaderhax (the one merged with auroras) and reinstall just i like i did originally? Im just confused as to how these new methods work, and I am on AuReiNAND 10.7 sysNAND.

I have my OTP.bin and the necessary files to compile a a9lh.3dsx, but whats @Aurora Wright new installer and how do I go about getting this set up?

Also, any disadvantages at all from using this one over the screen_init enabled one?

Edit: So I downloaded the github zip and ran make in cmd (there was no input folder, so I just ran make), the output was a payload_stage1.bin and a payload_stage2.bin. What do I do with these?

Thank you mate! Did a full install of Aurora's fork of A9LH; all is working great:) SafeA9LHInstaller.

Thank you Aurora for the kit of great tools :)

    It's important for society to be healthy and educated. If those things can't happen because all of the institutions that prop up those industries make it unattainable for all but a small portion of society, then your society is largely going to be disease ridden, dying, and uneducated in very short order.

    I agree it's not easy for the average American, let alone the ones below that average. Free / cheaper healthcare is much more important I think than free university education.
    Of course like @mthrnite said, why not both. But I doubt both will get solved at once, and surely healthcare is top priority.

    Although diet is largely education, people don't need to go to university to learn what's healthy and what's not,
    it's the whole country, big corporations and advertising that is to blame for leading most of the population to believe that poptarts and froot loops are healthy to feed a child

    i would think the population knows better but with food deserts and abject poverty, sometimes a poptart gonna have to do.

    As someone who went through the grade school system in the US some time within the past 30 or so years, not nearly enough is done to promote and educate on how to eat healthy in a way that is feasible to do on a regular basis and also affordable. Eating healthy is, comparatively, fucking expensive. So is eating unhealthy, but in many cases eating unhealthy is more affordable than eating healthy
