Thanks @zoogie!

Here's a proper release page
https://github.com/44670/BootNTR/releases/tag/3.2
and a place to report issues

I'm using it myself and it works well BUT I can't boot into my retail cartridge... so... so far so interesting. It works in emunand and it had NTR debugger built in.

I cannot post a link to the thing cuz it might be illegal, but, making a weibo account doesn't even verify your email, so, register, login with BS email, forget all and download BOTH files!

Sidenote: Apparently they have a cheat section, so, goodbye spider ar, hello NTR.

Good news indeed, but Google translate is a little bit hard to understand.
This is a mod version of NTR CFW.
Is the install process the same as normal NTR CFW?

When you said CIA booting, I was thinking of something completely different... But this is neat too I guess.

Yes! ANNNDD There's also a CIA option which I'm using that allows for booting without CN. It's legit NTR btw.

There is mention of GW in the thread that suggests it can be ran from Gateway mode or from any other CFW, does this mean we can use both together to get all the benefits of NTR-CFW while still able to use the Gateway cart, and CIA installation etc? Or does it now reboot the 3DS and kick you out of CFW (it didn't before, which was how it was possible to use it inside Pasta)
If so, that would be pretty big news, as NTR-CFW is no doubt the most complex hack/mod anyone's done on the 3DS, it's able to do things no other CFW can, such as plugin support. Being able to use all that with the GW would be awesome
Especially with a BootNTR CIA installed in GW mode, running it would be very quick and easy.

I can use rxTools EMU and NTR at the same time. It's really good.

Sounds like it works for o3ds now

Booting the CIA on ReiNAND N3DS, it says:
BootNTR: 2.4
patching svr check then freeze

Edit: It works on the second try WOW! N3DS 9.5 ReiNAND Emunand

Edit 2: Everything seems to work well

Spoiler: screenshots

Edit 3: Save plugin works perfectly

With 3.0? If so it should work with Gateway too

Yes, Google Translate of the weibo page says "If the crash in patching svc check or other steps. Please forced shutdown restart and try again."

Good news indeed, but Google translate is a little bit hard to understand.

Looks like the official NTR-CFW to me.

@OctopusRift I'm trying to sign up on weibo but it wants to send an activation code to my phone number. My country isn't an option in the country list. Edit: Nevermind I found the option to change it to email. Edit2: I need to sign up to Baidu now. HELP HOW DO I DO THIS. It wants a Chinese phone number. Got it, I must've pressed the wrong button or something, I have no idea what to do with these moonrunes

LayeredFS plugin for o3DS on "modern" firmware ranges? I might actually use this now...

 

[VinsCool]

Changelog?

I love it so far. You just boot up the CIA "BootNTR" in emunand and BOOM, you have layered in 9.9 O3ds

I wonder how it enables that while on 9.6 native_firm (as that's what is currently active when on 9.9 emunand). I always thought it had to use exploits to gain kernel access which were long patched in the 9.6 native firm being used by CFW/Gateway that uses emunand. Perhaps the things that made it work was gained just from having the needed service permissions from exheader of the new CIA of it. But I thought arm11 exploit would still be needed for it to work properly. (like plugin support and stuff). Then again, I never really took a close look at NTR because I only have an o3DS and NTR 1.1 won't run on anything past 4.x on o3DS. So I didn't try messing with it.

Use this. Give it a try. please.

Working fine here on N3DS with 9.5 GW EmuNAND!
Only issue I've found is that when I choose "Clean mode" in the CFW menu, the screen goes black and seems to hang.

I dunno what that does either.

That's why I got the screenshot

It's unstable. Failure rate: 60-70% booting.
