Newest animal crossing update requires kernel 2.51, hangs when you try to launch it from rxTools. Is this finally enough to get the rxTools shills to update?

Pardon me for the intrusion, but there were a few things I wanted to clear up in case they were preventing you from making the switch:
Actually, there is no risk downgrading from 9.2 to 2.1: The downgrade from 10.5 to 9.2 was risky because of security-related issues. By the time you're on 9.2, all that security should be gone and everything should downgrade as expected. The downgrade is no more risky than an official system update!
This, too, is also false. Luma patches GBA games like RxTools does, but not only that: It supports a9lh, and a9lh moves your emunand to sysnand, so you don't have to worry about installing your GBA titles on both NANDs!
I've watched a lot of CFW discussions; I think we should stop saying, 'stop using_______ and use____ instead' and start saying, '______ is a good CFW (for you), but if you have a game-entry or are handy enough to scroll+identify programs in HB, give yourself options, such as_______.' with a tutorial of, 'DL _______ files, put the files on your sd card, get into HB, and instead of running _______, select _____.'
After people see how easy it is, maybe they might be inclined to install a9lh.

I am going to be making an update to this thread talking about Animal Crossing update and what it means for the future of CFWs.
Of course, it really just means that NATIVE_FIRM requirements does indeed effect CFWs. This means RXTools/ReiNAND users should start migrating to a new CFW.

To all the people waiting for "rxTools's death to switch CFWs", the thing is, rxTools is already dead, as it's using an outated FIRM. AFAIK, there are some games that don't work w/ rxTools, because it's checking for the FIRM version. So if you want to play Animal Crossing and Pokemon S&M, switch your CFW for an updated one.
Well yeah, so true. So many topics about this. I understand them though, there are so many CFWs. Just too many.
If Nintendo does the right thing, they change everything NFirm, home_menu and their code to block rxTools from working.
Luma and NTR might need an update then, which will happen, and rxTools not!
They brick because they chose files for another region.
It forgot another files from the guide.
Did you mean "who to blame"? The only way one can brick on the 2.1 downgrade is if they messed up one of the steps because they didn't follow directions in the Plailect Guide. The thing is, the Plailect Guide not only links directly to the downloads you need to use but also explicitly outlines every step to make sure nobody bricks.
That said, only O3DS has to perform the downgrade anyway: N3DS can just install OTPless A9LH directly from 9.2 firm.

Actually, currently we use CTRTransfer as opposed to a regular downgrade, making it even safer than a regular downgrade afaik.
With that said, there's always a small chance of it going wrong. Even if 1 in a million. Programs often fail for no apparent reason. It's always a risk, as minimal as it is. Leaving home in the morning may mean you'll never return. The risk is minimal, but it is there. it is not "riskless". Technically anyway.

Oh I know, but I would still consider 9.2 -> 2.1 a "downgrade." Thank you for the clarification, though!
Had you read the fucking wiki you would have known. Whats with people not reading anymore
https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/wiki/Options-and-usage
- Autoboot SysNAND: Determines if you want to boot SysNAND or EmuNAND by default (when holding no buttons on Luma3DS boot).
- If the option is on, holding L boots the default EmuNAND.
- If the option is off, holding L boots SysNAND.
Laziness, incompetence, and the desire for instant gratification.

Was Luma dev too lazy to put something you can read at the first boot ?
cout << "You can boot sysnand by pressing L if autoboot sysnand is not active";
Yeah I agree RxTools is outdated but at least they have coded something with a nice GUI !
A pointless gui. a gui doesn't make a cfw good. If you want a gui so badly fork luma3ds and try making a gui for it. Then you'll find out how hard it is for a gui to made.Was Luma dev too lazy to put something you can read at the first boot ?

Also did you even bother reading the settings?
YOU CAN'T WIN SO STOP DEFENDING IT!!!!!

I frankly like it. Not to mention, that IS pretty much Decrypt9's UI. lel

I'd quite enjoy a life of taking it easy. But I haven't reached that life yet.
