Homebrew ARM9Loader -- Technical Details and Discussion

[Audioboxer]

it's posted in this thread (not that it does much good haha, this thread things get buried fast)

Yeah I just seen it a few pages back.

I read that screen_init breaks head tracking on n3ds again. Is that true with the new installer?

No. If the CFW people implement it correct like AuReiNand.

well, as I've said before, that isn't something arm9loaderhax should (or has the ability to, really) do. That said it's already integrated into several CFWs (AuReiNand, cakes and AHPCFW)

Awesome thanks!

Just to confirm this as well, Decrypt9 on boot works great https://mega.nz/#!yEoAzAqD!6bA4PefqiBkCr1UYPKYp8vpfE5DKpCj_0p_zpJqpUZc

No need for me to keep emunand around now. Up next a bootmanager would be good to point to different bin files to prevent having to remove sdcard and juggle different ones. Minor issue just now though.

Have you tried decrypting something and actually checking that it decrypted fine?
Should either not work or tell you that it worked but decrypt to garbage.

How to uodate a9hl?

Well I'm dumping my sysnand just now. It has options for dumping sys/emu nand and restoring them (no other fancy options). I assume it just works as a basic backup tool.

The installer isn't working for me. I renamed it to arm9loaderhax.bin, but I only get the backlight.

Well, I use D9 more than for making a complete sys/emuNAND backup or restore (decrypting partitions, decrypting/reencrypting cias...) so I guess emuNAND is still needed for me lol

another user has reported this behavior, I'm currently investigating... tell my your console model, XL does matter in this case

Well if you don't have an existing install just compiling my repo and using the installer in there is fine

But if we have only ever installed delebile/arm9loaderhax ver, okay just to use your updater?

yes

Sure, for many emunand will still be king. For a basic user like me it's just nice to be able to be able to backup/restore in case of mistakes/bricks.

d0k3 (or mid-kid, I don't remember) said that you can't decrypt using the 3ds itself that early on boot, but you could provide the needed keys to do the work.

Should we see something on screen except the boot screen from the cfw?

 

[Kevin Kong]

This thread is moving so fast, so if i have delebiles a9lhax working all i need to do is grab dark_samu3 installer, rename it to arm9loaderhax.bin to replace my old one in my root file?

 

[laharl22]

How to compile the installer. Bin?

 

[tiduscrying]

Is the secret_sector.bin something we must provide from something else? And is the sector.bin required to run the installer.bin file? Running the installer (named arm9loaderhax.bin) just brings me a black screen, nothing else. Granted, I didn't add any files other than the ones from installer.zip.

Extra info: I've got normal A9LH installed and AuReinand already working and this is on a N3DSXL.

You don't compile it. Rename to arm9loaderhax.bin and put on sdcard along with the other file.
