Homebrew ARM9Loader -- Technical Details and Discussion

[dankzegriefer]

Just a question to sum things up: what's the point of dumping a console's OTP at the moment?
I could downgrade my Old3DS flashing the emuNAND, dump the OTP and get back to 4.1 using a gamecard (then MSET payload via R4 -> rxTools -> Back to 9.2). Would this be of any use?

ARM9Loaderhax.

What does it allow for as of now?

Very little.

 

[Mrrraou]

Very little.

*almost everything
There is just no payload for it yet.

Very little RIGHT NOW.
When everything works it's a magical tool of freedom.

Brahma payloads should already be almost working with delebile's implementation of arm9loaderhax.

Framebuffer.
Right now it's useless for the end user.

Very little my ass... I'm cold booting reinand atm with a9lh

 

[Earth97]

It's a matter of few days, then, and CFW booting through A9H will be feasible? Should I start dumping my OTP? Are there any advantages besides early CFW booting?

WHAT?
SINCE WHEN DID WE GET THAT WORKING?

 

[Shadowtrance]

Since yesterday

I guess I was asleep, darn

[dankzegriefer]

Yeah, but the framebuffer wasn't working, so I thought emuNAND was not usuable from arm9loaderhax currently

Well, I guess that the only issue should be reiNAND splash screen not shown?

Is there a tutorial a user can follow to dump their OTP?

If you want to take the risk to do it: https://github.com/Plailect/OTP/blob/master/README.md
GL;HF getting your downgrade pack.

Are we going to see feature rich CFWs compared to PSP? Compatiblity with existing A9 payloads is a treating starting point, but what about more extensive modifications to sysmodules and native_firm to add extra features (a plugin interface that's flexible that what NTR provides atm, for example)

 

[Earth97]

No answer was given to this question "Are there any advantages besides early CFW booting?", could anyone provide one (that is the same answer letfhandsowrd is looking for, if I get it correctly)?

About the DG pack: I've found it on that ISO site. Is there anything wrong with that?
