From the guide itself, troubleshooting if you have glitched screen:

https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Troubleshooting#ts_safe_a9lh_screen

SafeA9LHInstaller shows a glitched screen
This happens occasionally, but the reason is unknown. The buttons will still work, but the screen will be glitched looking

  1. Follow instructions as normal
    1. Press (Select) and arm9loaderhax will be installed
    2. The console will reboot
      • If the console does not reboot, wait 10 seconds, then power off your 3DS by holding down the power button

After pressing SELECT, wait for few seconds it should reboot and will either shows blank screen or some error screen for missing firmware.bin. This is because A9LH will have been installed the moment you pressed SELECT, and A9LH (or any CFW for that matter) cannot boot firmware version 2.x. Just follow the guide as usual.

I pressed select and it didn't reboot. Just stayed on the same glitched screen.

Hold your power button down till your system shuts down and continue with the guide
I did that. On the part where it says "Copy your console specific OTP.bin from the /a9lh/ folder on your SD card to a safe location" It's not there. And when it says "Hold select on boot to enter the Luma3DS menu" It does't work. It just boots into the system menu.

What does the contents of your a9lh/ folder look like? Also if you feel like you didn't apply A9HL then you should repeat the previous steps. If you hold select while booting your system and the Luma install menu comes up then you already have A9HL installed

Try this :
Open the browser, then open the browser settings
  1. Scroll to the bottom and Initialize Savedata (it also may be called Clear All Save Data)
  2. Try the exploit again

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
