Homebrew [RELEASE] BootAnim9 - Custom boot animations for your 3DS!

[Docmudkipz]

I put the stuff on my SD card, and my 3DS turns on, but is stuck at a black screen. Any ideas?

where did you put everything?

arm9loaderhax.bin payload included with BootAnim9 on root of SD card. Old payload named arm9payload.bin and placed in /anim along with calibrator. /anim/0 has anim in it.

try renaming arm9loaderhax.bin to arm9loaderhax_si.bin

This makes my 3DS turn off a half-second after I press the power button.

When was the last time you updated your a9lh? And have you tried any other animations?

I installed A9LH for the first time a few days ago . I'll try with another animation.

EDIT: Other animations don't work either.

EDIT 2: Confirmed that my 3DS is not bricked.

OK, now my 3DS boots but doesn't play the animation; it just goes straight to the Home Menu.

It sounds like a screen init problem to me. You could always try redownloading ba9

oops, wrong thread.

Redownloading gives me the result I had at the beginning; black screen. I'm using the noscreeninit version of A9LH if that matters.

BA9 needs screen init. As I said, it sounded like a screen init problem which is why the first thing I told you to do was rename the payload to arm9loaderhax_si.bin

OK. Does this mean I have to reinstall A9LH? (I've learned my lesson and looked before asking; I can't find a clear answer.) I'm sorry if I've been pestering you, and sorry about me not understanding the whole screen-init thing. And I'm sorry, @Wolfvak, for the GitHub issue.

EDIT: After reading the README.md twice, I see that nowhere does it mention screen-init.

If adding the _si to the payload didnt work then its likely you have an old old a9lh. Your best bet would be either using the stuff supplied by Plailect in his guide and reinstalling through that or self compiling which ever stage you need to install to update. I can't remember off of the top of my head which stage is needed except that it shouldnt require your otp again.

But that's the thing. I used Plailect's guide to install A9LH.

Then your best bet would be compiling from source and installing from that.

Got screen-init working, and BootAnim9 now works. Thanks for all your help!

The config file seems to break my animations; they act as if I don't have screen-init. If I delete the config, they run fine, but at 15fps, and I have an animation that I'd like to run at 30fps.

Is there a site for downloading Boot Animations?

Did you compile from BA9's source? Otherwise it shouldnt be doing that.

Or you can check out this thread for animations that others have made.

This (compiling from source and putting the resulting arm9loaderhax.bin on my SD card) makes my 3DS hang at a black screen on boot.
