i know there are a lot of random files, back when i used it i tried to get all kinds of random stuff, i planed on asking someone smarter then me on how to get rid of them without deleting a system file, and i have never even heard of arm9loaderhax so im assuming i don't have it?
arm9loaderhax, also known as a9lh, is what was used before boot9strap. You've clearly either had it in the past or currently have it, judging by the arm9loaderhax.bin file on your SD

Was thinking the same thing.

Ok, I do see the console specific files, it *might* be installed, but using an out of date version, have you tried doing this https://3ds.hacks.guide/updating-b9s

Those I believe are generated whenever an unhandled exception error occurs in Luma3DS.

Actually, since the console specific files are there, b9s is most likely installed already, though, just an old version
I can tell, seeing as the file date tells you that its from 2017.
Post automatically merged:

are you *sure* you put safeb9sinstaller.firm on the root, renamed to "boot.firm"
"boot.firm" seems to already exist on the SD card. Don't you mean replace it or add it as a payload?
