Homebrew ARM9Loader -- Technical Details and Discussion

[Lumince]

Did you rebuild the databases?(dbs folder with import.db and title.db) I suggest just injecting FBI into the H&S.

I rebuilt it and it still fails... idk what i did to make this fail. Do i need to make the those files empty again?

ok I managed to get it working on my O3DS, but at this point I am thoroughly confused by the multiple forks/builds of the arm9loader stuff floating around. I coulda swore someone mentioned somehwere that we can load decrypt9 through this already but I sure as hell can't find it. Someone else was talking about versions with the screen being initialized and allowing splash screens?

Just use the original repo. It has screen init now.

You can try that. I've honestly not got a clue.

Question, what exactly is screen init?

 

[Toiry921]

Im a bit confused with this bootloader :o. Ive put the files on root of my sd and it bòots the bootloader but it just exits and restarts after about 5 seconds witj lots of text flashing so fast i cant see the end of it? Same if I hold R

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I would like it so i have the normal aureinand button options and this bootloader say on the A button. Like L boots sysnand with sig check. R normal sysnand and no button my emunand and then A button for this bootloader.

Because it doesn't sound you don't know what you are doing so my rule is don't use it, so far it just sounds like AUReiNAND alone is better for what you want

The screens turning on, every pretty color you see when your ds is on

Somehow ive used this bootloader but now just the blue light flashes on my 3ds and doesnt bootloader and sd card no longer reconised by my computer?

Never mind was that shitty sd adapter you get with sandisk card. Used my anker usb adapter and all is ok. *wipes sweat from forehead* hehe

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Toiry921 I do know what im doing just got A little confused as stuff is moving fast and I havent been here for A few days to keep track.

Use AUReiNAND right now it's just easier and it's more User Friendly right now

Question, what exactly is screen init?

Ability to use screens from a9lh. (powering up GPU, LCD and backlights, mapping framebuffers, etc)

 

[Lumince]

Ok so my emunand is booting without sigs disabled? Why is this occuring?

Edit- just used tinyformat

 

[Lumince]

lol wrong chat

 

[gl1mml1ng]

Here is the new version of my bootloader: Alpha 0.3
I readded the original splashscreen support, added screen init(if not already enabled) and the debug output will be printed to the bottom screen(I will add an option to set the debug mode later). Its also possible to delay the key input reading, to allow a later selection(I will add something that uses the splashscreens and input delay more produktiv later).

You should change the name of the config file for your a9lh version. I recompiled it to use a seperate config file (/a9lh/arm9bootloader.ini). This way I can still use the 3dsx version, when launching the HBL cia fom homemenu.

No. You just create the .db files then visit data management. But if you're doing this from an emunand above 9.6 (iirc) FBI can't install anything when you launch it as a .3dsx anyway (needs to be launched as .3ds with Gateway or from home menu as an installed .cia). NASA can install things up to 10.3 or something like that. If you're doing this on a 10.6 emunand, you need to use Decrypt9 to inject FBI into H&S.

Thats what everyone else have been telling me. I guess injecting it is. If i already have fbi installed as a cia should i delete it or just inject it after i use tinyformat?

Can someone please help?
I got my otp file and armloaderhax.3dsx. But whenever I try to install the payload it gives me a red screen at the bottom.

If it's already installed as a .cia, then there's no reason why it shouldn't be working as long as sigchecks are patched (which they obviously are on emunand). The only other thing people overlook besides the .db files (and remember, with unlinked nands, there are 2 different locations for those) is the destination. Choosing the SD vs NAND is important, depending on what you're installing.

You're not installing it on 9.2 (with the 9.0 FIRM).

How do I do that, please?

How are you trying to run Arm9LoaderHax?

How are you trying to run Arm9LoaderHax?

I launch the homebrew launcher and install it. I also tried minipasta and still the same outcome.
