I need help, I followed the tut you guys linked perfectly to step III. After everything was installed fine, and luma was configured, I tried to reboot and hold start but it doesn't bring up the menu anymore, it just boots up.

Luma3DS Github Repo said:
  • boot9strap support (all older entrypoints, including ARM9LoaderHax and menuhax, are no longer supported).
  • Replaced .bin (brahma/a9lh) payload loading with .firm (FIRM format) payloads. This format allows for way more flexibility and is also the only one supported by boot9strap.
ahahaha Aurora forces everyone to use boot9strap ahaha amazing thing[/quote][/QUOTE]

Interesting to see this released, this scene never stops progressing.
Though i am perfectly fine with my current Luma 7.1 + A9LH setup.

What are the Disadvantages (what will i potentially lose from converting over) and Current Advantages for the average users? (besides the faster boot, which is nice.)

Sorry if these have been asked alot, just want to know if its worth updating this weekend for or waiting till its confirmed stable by a majority of users.

"You can now hold (Start) + (Select) + (X) on boot to dump the ARM11 bootrom (boot11.bin), the ARM9 bootrom (boot9.bin), and your console unique OTP (OTP.bin) to the /boot9strap/ folder on your SD card" <--any reason to do this?

Can someone please help me? I have followed the guide to installing Boot9strap but now the chainloads will not boot! I have gotten to step IV where I need to get into godmode9.

hi m8, what did you do about 3DSafe A9LH ver? did you upgrade with it installed but disable the pin?

No, you have to uninstall it unfortunately...

lol wut? Bootrom is read only and pretty much baked into the SoC at manufacture. You ain't gonna be installing anything into bootrom. Not without bitflipping with a high powered particle radiation emitter. :P
Alright, thank you for pointing out my misunderstanding of how derrek implemented sighax... I had a feeling I misunderstood something, as I had initially thought the bootrom was read-only as well...

Yay! Sighax and B9S have been released! I'm gonna update A9LH to this later. Although, this will mean that I will lose menuhax in the process. For now, I've got other things to think about right now.

It's quite amazing to see two implementations of sighax being released at the same time.

B9S is useful if you'd like to use custom firmware. While standard sighax is only good for those who don't use custom firmware.
