So I am trying to swap my sysNAND with my emuNAND, but running anything kernel program like Decrpyt9, emuNAND9, ect. from the homebrew launcher only results in a red screen, then flashes back to the homebrew menu. I tried launching them from both the emuNAND (10.5) and the sysNAND (9.0) using both the cia version of homebrew launcher and the browser exploit version and get the same results.
I do have A9LH installed and the latest version of this CFW.

I tried to do that when I didn't noticed I've got the A9LH XD
You have to boot your emuNAND on 9.0 FIRM mode but you have the emuNAND to 9.0-9.2 :v

Well since that was the problem, I installed sysUpdater.cia onto my emuNAND, used that to downgrade it, then launched the programs that way. Problem solved.
I already have an emuNAND backup from yesterday, so I will just restore that

How can I load decrypt 9 after applying arm9loaderhax? Everytime I try to load it from hblauncher loader on sysnand or emunand it fails (red screen)

Put both firmware.bin AND firmware90.bin in your rei folder.
When you want to launch HBL (to launch Decrypt9), hold L for 3 sec while you press the Power button.
This will load sysnand in pastamode, and Decrypt9 will work.

If however, you hold R instead, you will get sysnand, yes, but Decrypt9 will not load because I believe you're in sysnand with f/w > 9.2.

EDIT: BTW, to boot HBL from Sysnand, install hblauncher_loader 1.1 cia

I don't know what happened or how this happened, but when I launched a DSi Game, it somehow updated my sysNAND and removed the A9HL and now my CFW no longer works. Unless I can get a hardmod, I am officially done with my 3DS.

What did you mean in OP by
"If you hold R on boot, sysNAND will be booted with the firmware.bin on the SD card and signature checks patched (like Brickway)."
What if I only have firmware in the rei-n3ds folder for emunand. Also whats brickway and is there any chance I could brick my console while running sysnand in this mode?
Can I just normally boot sysnand?

does removing/renaming arm9loaderhax.bin and turning on the system immediately turn it off? if so, a9hl wasn't deleted

I removed the SD card and it boots straight into the SysNAND. It's fucked.
It was just working and as soon as I launched a DSi game, this happened

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
