Right, but under "v1" of A9LH, it did because you had to use AW's no-screen-init fork to use all functionality (screen brightness) in the Luma options menu. For the new version, AW released both a screen-init and a no-screen-init version. Is it logical to assume that the v2 no-screen-init version works the same in all cases where the v1 no-screen-init worked (EmuNAND9, Decrypt9WIP, etc.) or are the payloads assuming under v2 screen init has already been done?
Edit: oh wait a minute, the confusion is apparently about running these tools "standalone" as their own arm9loaderhax.bin, instead of being chainloaded through Luma. So to rephrase the question: is the no-screen-init version still the preferred way IF you ONLY chainload through Luma?
