Mostly correct. I have priiloader installed to real nand, but it's set to boot the real system menu, not emunand. Everything on real nand is working as expected.
So this was my emunand's original loader.ini (presumably set up by
priiloader-v0.7-neek-mod, but TBH I don't recall
Code:
00 00 00 04 00 00 00 07 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
I also tried this loader.ini taken from a recent nand dump with priiloader v0.9 installed
Code:
03 00 00 00 00 00 00 5A 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
then I modified the above as you directed like so
Code:
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 5A 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
All 3 are behaving the same way, just booting directly to the emunand system menu (whether I hold reset during emunand bootup makes no difference)
I can't explain the finer details of how neek works, but in addition to redirected nand, my understanding is that IOS reloading is not blocked, it just reloads it from the emulated nand
edit:
these source files may be more helpful than just the link to the priiloader neek mod binary file. I'm not sure how difficult it would be, but maybe you can identify the neek mods that were applied to priiloader v0.7 to perhaps replicate something similar to v0.9. This link also includes a Priiloader neek mod installer and priibooter app (maybe a modified magicword app?)

again I am 100% certain something was preventing the stock priiloader 0.7 from working on emunands, which is why the neek mod was created in the first place. And I'm certain I was able to access the priiloader neek mod menu from my emunand (and automated the process into ModMii), I just can't boot it anymore no matter what I do. Note I that I am not asking for your help with the neek mod, I know you didn't build it, besides I'd much rather get v0.9 working on emunands.
edit2: I'm not sure how to enable logging in the version of Priiloader that's installed to my emunand if I can't access the menu. Did you still want me to enable it on my real nand and report back anything?
edit3: I also tried a pure 1:1 dump of my nand with priiloader v0.9 installed, same result
