I recently completed the process to install the A9LH on my N3DSXL, and have a question about BootCTR9.

Is it possible to set it up so that if I don't press anything it auto boots (Current default behavior), however if I hold down a specified key on power on, the boot process will pause and show my chosen splash screen, and wait for a keypress to boot the chosen option? Basically the way CTRBootManager works with timeouts set to 0.

You can add delay con Global options for that ;)
From what I read of the Global options, there are no key options for that. Meaning if i add a delay to Global with a splash, the 3DS will display that splash, and delay every boot, not just ones where I hold down a certain key

Wow, this is a good idea. I'd be very likely to use a feature like that as well.

I just thought, though - you should be able to just configure CTRBootManager as the key you press, so you'd basically use BootCTR9 as the default, but if you held A or whatever, it would load CTRBootManager. Wouldn't that do what you're asking?

I hadn't thought of that. So it would be something like:

In boot_config.ini for BootCTR9
[KEY_SELECT]
path = /boot.3dsx

And then the boot.cfg to have a timeout of -1 to disable autoboot

Well, you'd have to use the arm9 version of CTRBootManager actually; .3dsx files don't work (currently, as far as I know)

Yeah exactly, if you use the "arm9loaderhax.bin" from ctrbootmanager and just name it to something else, you should be able to configure it in the way you suggested.

I have plans to add something lime this.
It will wait the specified time for key, if you press a key, it will load the configuration and show the splash, while resetting the timer and waiting again for a button press, if there is no it will boot the last selection if there is one it will again load a new splash and wait a moment.

    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.

    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.
