I still prefer reinand over luma3ds for its simplicity. I feel luma may become bloated like rxtools in the next update, which will directly intergrate rom hacking and ntr features into luma3ds. Reinand has been VERY stable in my experience, and has the fastest and highest boot rate for menuhax. I will say that this is hands down the best n3ds for menuhax, and saltfw would be the best for a9lh on o3ds and n3ds

Well... rxTools is bloated because it have tools that is useless since we have specialized tools to do the same but better
Luma3DS have only the features that is associated with CFW and not tools.

Plus, I don't think the next stable release will have those features, since TuxSh is working about REing MCU

 

[TuxSH]

rxTools was originally closed-source, so its source code, is kinda, uh... bad

Go Luma

How do i install Luma? And then change it in ctrbootmanager?

I suggest asking that question on the Luma thread, to avoid derailing this thread.

would be great if reinand would see an update once a new FW is out.

How bout no

 

[naddel81]

How bout no

Why? It was stable and did what it should.

Stable, minus the time he redirected NFIRM updates to "kek," causing updating to fail on ReiNAND.

Which has been fixed since. So your point is?
It's not like others CFW never had any issue...

doesnt work on o3ds (for me) and rei is my least fav 3ds dev

 

[SimplyFedorable]

it just doesn't have reboot patches. There has been talk of rei retiring from development and giving the project to a new developer. I personally know the new developer, and he just plans to really add reboot patches, make it a bit smaller, and optimize it for a9lh so it boots faster. Besides that, not much else. No menu will be added, and will be kept as minimalstic as possible. It does work on o3ds, smash and monster hunter just don't work because it doesn't have reboot patches

as long as someone else is continuing development then i am happy. still prefer reinand over luma

Sad to hear that Reisyukaku is leaving the scene. Thank you for all your work on what turned out to be a pretty amazing CFW!

hope we see an update once new firmware is out when pokemon moon/sun is released

If Reisyukaku himself doesn't update it, it's open source, so I'm sure it would be possible for someone else to.

That being said, without svcBackdoor being restored stuff like retroarch and BootNTR won't work.
