Follow the Guide on http://3ds.guide I have no intention to update this as more important things are happening currently



Word of Warning, This Homebrew does not Install arm9loaderhax it merely copies all the files to the correct location

If you use 1.0.0 you need to supply your own aeskeydb.bin and data_input_v2.zip
1.0.1 Downloads them for you however they are not included in the zip supplied here

Redownload whatever version you had from before this Edit as I've updated the files in the zip to have Decrypt9WIP included Also the other crap from the starter.zip are gone now


How to Install/Run!

Just copy all these files inside the downloaded zip to the root of your SD And then run a9lh_easySetup.3dsx from the Homebrew Launcher and then you can start the A9LH Installation by following the guide, This just minimizes the amount of times you have to remove the SD Card

Optionally you may also supply the 2.1.0E CTR Transfer.bin and .sha files on the root of the SD and they will be copied as well

FAQ
Q. The Screen is Just Colors!
A. Yes if the Screen is white its still copying, And if its anything other than Green after its no longer white then you are missing a required file on the root

If the screen goes red then you are missing a9lh_easySetup.zip
If the screen goes yellow then you are missing data_input_v2.zip
If the screen goes purple then you are missing aeskeydb.bin
If the screen goes green then everything went successfully!


Latest Downloads
1.0.1 (Working as of 30/08/2016)
Latest Official Firmware: 11.0.0-33 (Up to this version This tool will work for setting up the SD Card for A9LH Installation) (You still need to Hardmod/DSiWare Downgrade from 11.0.0-33 to get A9LH)
I am not responsible for any bricks created by this tool there is always a risk of bricking your system when hacking

Remember Don't close the System, Close the System and You're dead

Well, this will make the process a bit less tedious. Just a few questions/ideas.

1. is all the files already included in the pack, or does it automatically download the latest?

2. Does this also install luma 3ds?

It "technically" installs Luma to Install luma you only have to have the files on SD You still have to do the Installation process of A9LH
It doesn't download the latest files Although this will probably change in a future build
data_input_v2.zip and aeskeydb.bin are downloaded through it though

Just follow the regular guide, this is still in its very early stages. A9lh is worth it, and takes 30 minutes to setup now (I think, may be shorter)

Pretty dang cool! Can definitely help out some noobs. Maybe if plialects forks it and adds it to his guide he can make it EVEN easier especially for the noobs! :P

Very cool tool! This is going to be SO useful when trying to walk people through the install with messages when they don't even know what a root directory is LOL.

I think the most useful tool for installing A9LH is a forced backup. Seriously, Decrypt9/Hourglass9 should NOT allow you to restore a new sysNAND/emuNAND without making a backup of your current one first. Then half the people with [Bricked] A9LH systems wouldn't have to make new threads because they skipped that part.

Hi, im still on the Emunand and Sysnand

Can i just use this program to start the A9LH process?

Will it crunch both Sysnand and Emunand into one?

This program doesn't do anything concerning the installation of A9LH. it simply structures the SD card files so they are automatically stored in the correct directories. I believe it does download 2 files you need for the installation, but you have to do the installation process yourself. So to answer your question, no it will not turn your emuNAND into your sysNAND. A9LH does that if you so choose.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
