Homebrew ARM9Loader -- Technical Details and Discussion

No, it's a fix for a "bad" delay that may cause issues with some SD cards, not related to this one. And this one is working, but it was dangerous to try it (I did the same), but new commits had the issue I described above (fixed now, but there could be a lot of other issues), so really, you should be careful. It's a test repo, it could easily broke A9LH/brick without any hope of recover...

Well, his name on github is dark samus.

and yes to both; the build I am on atm is the build he pushed out that allowed to power 3ds off with no sd card, I mention it to so he knows what build I am on as a reference and yes, I want to know if its safe to update to the current avail version so that I can get the "it's a fix for a "bad" delay that may cause issues with some SD cards"

But I am also trying to find out, based on what he knows about the build I'm currently on, is it safe to switch to delebile 's current version but given supster131 is on the same build I am on and all is well, i probably just sit tight then

I know, but on GBATemp it notifies the user when you mention him, so I gave you the right name.

If it's not broken, you don't need to fix it, I don't understand your point... Why would you possibly want to fix something that works ? It's just like if you were asking a mechanic to fix your car when it's not even broken, that doesn't make any sense.

I'm on the same build as you too, but Dark Samus was crystal clear : You DO NOT update using his repo because it's a test repo. It's way too risky, you don't even have an hardmod...
Again, few commits ago the thing would make your 3DS unable to boot...

Guys, is updating as simple as running the 3dsx again? I'm on an updated sysnand with no emunand.

You would have to recompile it to update it to a new version, but in all seriousness, it's better for us all to wait until things are stable (sounds like they're going to make an updater that runs via a9lh too, which is easier and possibly safer).

Of course you would have to recompile it again. Anyway, the reason i asked was because the last time i reran the .3dsx to update it, it wouldn't work, so I had to restore a clean sysnand backup.

It should work as long as you do it with a nand on 9.2 using the 9.x firm so even emunand on 9.2 should be able to do the job.

I see what you're saying now, I thought you were asking if there was an updater (like how there was one for the second stage of the hack a while back). I probably shouldn't post things early in the morning, my reading comprehension is not always the best.

 

[Toiry921]

Talk about OCD!
2-5 Backups should be good enough.

should be but I have a really bad habit of deleting things I kinda wanna keep. Also its one of those better safe than sorry things

 

[ketal]

Need a couple testers again, if there's anyone insterested with an hardmodded New3DS, pm me

Does someone have informations about AHP-CFW? There are recent commits, it is often updated but no one seems to use it.
I just compiled it, I'll give it a try.

Strange, I compiled it without any problem.
I did not try it yet, maybe it does not work but here is the build.

It's @AHP_person's CFW. I'd guess it's not entirely ready for public use yet, even though the code is public, since he's not said much about it as far as I know.

yeah, the 3ds insta-shutdown when loading the .bin file.

 

[Vappy]

.

Your path is set up to prioritise yagarto for building. Switch to devkitARM.

 

[Ekaitz]

Did you copy the firm.bin? (Don't have time right now to test it but it may be because of that)
I guess I'll have to wait to see this new CFW running.

ops, forgot tha it isn't firmware.bin but firm.bin

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

ops, forgot tha it isn't firmware.bin but firm.bin

nope, still insta-shutdown

 

[Supster131]

Another CFW?

I'm not the only one who thinks the 3DS already has a lot of CFW, right? I mean, they all do the same thing. Sure some CFW have some different features compared to others, but (especially for A9LH) they're all the same really.
