Hacking If you need a real reason to move away from rxTools... this might be it.

Also if the update won't work with rxtools then the retail cart with update preinstalled will need not work with rxtools too. Meaning mario maker won't work with rxtool it because both the new leaf welcome amiibo cart and Mario maker 3ds come out in December. (Maybe even sun/moon will need it)

If the idea of messing with your 3DS frightened you, you would still be running stock firmware.
Changing what custom firmware your system uses risks nothing. It's as simple as changing a few files and directories. Hell, you can do it while the system is running, and then reboot when you're done!

While menuhax + RedNAND is inferior to running arm9loaderhax + SysNAND in every way, I understand why people do it. There is an actual, tangible risk involved with deliberately corrupting a FIRM partition. While nowadays, the risk is similar to a grown man picking a fistfight to the death with an eight year old child, the possibility of the child winning, while minimal, is still nonzero. Random power outages happen - batteries get knocked loose for the shortest time, and SD Cards too. Hell, even Gateway. Thanks to Gateshark, I can... understand why you would stick with it, brick traps, stolen code and all. Even if you should be helping reverse-engineer it and make an open source version :P

Remaining on RXTools rather than switching to Salt, Luma, Corbenik, or anything else that works properly with the latest official code? That's pure tribalism. RXTools offers nothing. Nothing. RXMode is outdated compared to the aforementioned firmwares, and the actual 'Tools are outdated compared to Decrypt9WIP. Even FBI has better NAND dumping than the 'Tools. Unfortunately, humans are tribal creatures by nature, and some people won't see reason until they're made to. Such as by Welcome amiibo or Sun and Moon refusing to work under the old kernel.

Hmmmm~ That feel when I was right

You don't exactly need to nick the knickers of an appreciative, humanophilic female Gardevoir to see that one coming. :D Not that you wouldn't do that anyway.

Im just waiting for the rxtools users to start making posts about their new games not working at all...
Possible. Tried both CIA and converting the ROM version from that iso site.
Manual works on JP N3DS. Updates can be installed from freeshop.

If someone manages to get past the 3ds logo I'm all ears
It could need you to view the eshop page once before booting..?

Although sad, the good news is that Nintendo are FINALLY making titles and title updates require newer kernels to run.

One would think they would have done this with the home menu to block downgrades, but whatever. Maybe they're just too nice :P

Im wondering if this means people using Gateway might get screwed over as well? Or does that finally use the latest native_firm as well? lol

We dunno, just speculate since demo works on Rx we can't tell something like that.

upfromtheskies said:
Switching from rxtools to luma isn't like switching to a9lh, it requires almost zero effort, and there's no risk involved. I see no excuse not to do it, unless you have tech phobia / anxiety, and the idea of doing anything even as simple as throwing some files onto an SD card frightens you.

I agree but many ppl here tells you to go to Luma + A9HL they rarely tells you to go to Luma only.
A majority of ppl here that use a9hl are elitist and will tell you that you are s*** if you don't go a9hl ...
