Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[Billy Acuña]

The best thing of SafeA9LHInstaller is that I don't need anymore FIRM 9.0 to update both stage 1 and stage 2

new installer has performs security checks before install but i'll let you be the judge

But I already have a9lh installed. Would I get any benefit from using the new installer is what I'm asking?

I don't think so.

How would I go about doing this to update to Auroras (merged with dark_samus3) payload_stage1 and 2?

 

[PixelBurst]

I think the question for people with A9LH already is what does Auroras for for stage 1 + stage two give? Skipped back a few pages but things move so fast, from the git I see power off when no SD and something about home button firms(mobile view is bleh.)

Is it possible to add support for O3DS <7.x in the near future?

If you switching forks i believe you should full install with the new tool.

I went with it because it has recent merges from dark-samus3 and someone I trust confirmed Auroa build is safe but it hasn't been officially released yet so I can only confirm it work for me bad on a pull done today, last commit 10hrs ago.

thanks Aurora for the new update, will try it when fully awake

So to do a full install do i need to have the files named

• firm1.bin (renamed from new3ds10.firm)
• firm0.bin (renamed from new3ds90.firm)
• secret_sector.bin
• payload_stage1.bin
• payload_stage2.bin (bot payload.bins compiled from the dark_samus/Aurora fork)

All inside of a folder named "a9lh" then put the arm9loaderhax.bin from the safea9lhinstaller 1.2.1 and "a9lh" folder with everything on my SD root and boot my 3DS and press select?

Edit: all coming from the original version i compiled from its first release and then updated with dark_samus3 screen_init

I just did this an hour ago. I am from early a9lh since feb. working fine but my screen init when boot now.

you are using the dark_samus3/Aurora fork?

 

[peteruk]

Ok.. quick update, upgraded to AuRei 3.1.0

I totally removed my splash screen and was amazed at my new boot time of 8 seconds, this is the fastest booting time yet

It wasn't even promoted as a feature, but i am very happy

Thanks Aurora as always

I just did this too and I also still have screen_init. I think it is because dark_samus3 is working on a recovery that goes off using the screen_init function. So that is probably why it is still there. @dark_samus3 @Aurora Wright can either of you confirm?

Sorry mate, I can't confirm this. I don't have the time to check accuracy of file names, etc and and i don't want to be responsible for any bricks.

The OP already done all the work on this. My only comment that may be helpful, it's a bit ambiguous to me the file the loader will call for for stage 2 but I posted a good solution a few pages back that worked for me. Cheers!

i haven't changed mine since it was launched by darm_samus3, then used the screen init that came out just after

my comments had nothing to do with A9LH tbh, was commenting on the new release of AuReinand on this AuReinand thread

He meant to get the boot time. I can only get mine to about 11 or 12 seconds booting A9LH sysNAND w/ the patch flag.

ahhh right, i just included the flag file, removed the splash screen and use a really good card

i know some will argue that the 3ds bottle necks so makes no difference what msd you use, but from my own tests i get a 9.5 second boot on a samsung 64gb uhs1 card and 8 second boot with a sandisk extreme pro 64gb card

sorry for any confusion earlier

I believe quality of card is a factor but so is # of games installed and capacity of card
