you will also provide pre-patched binaries right? (i can't manage to compile AuReinand)

I may build some releases, yea.
Anyway I'm not anywhere near to do it ATM, I don't even know if I'll do it so don't be too excited. And I still have no clue about how to add the features I would want to add. May check some code from rxTools tonight.

Can't seem to get this booted... I run ReiNand.dat through CTRBootManager and it freezes at the same frame I press "A" to select it.

{
title = "AuReiNand";
path = "/ReiNand.dat";
},

Launching through HBL black screens.
Launching rei.3dsx through CTRBootManager black screens (my boot.3dsx is NOT the included one).
Replacing my boot.3dsx with the included one black screens.

Latest Release.
Tried both 2.1 and 2.5 *hax.
Appropriate rei-o3DS folder is there and renamed to "rei" as instructed.
SysNAND is on 9.2, EmuNAND 10.5.
Old 3DS. No issues booting rxTools or miniPasta.

EDIT: Ignore, I'm a moron.

Alright, switched sysnand and emunand, reinstalled AGB_firm v2 just to be sure I had it after all this.

10.6 update, and I can't load GBA CIAs. Can anyone else confirm?

TL;DR
on 10.6 ARN sys, AGB patched, can't run GBA CIAs.
Not sure if anyone's answered you yet, but try reinstalling the patched AGB_FIRM. GBA CIAs worked fine for me on sysNAND 10.5, I have yet to try them on 10.6 though.

Edit: Just tried a GBA game, worked fine. I didn't even need to reinstall the patched AGB_FIRM after updating to 10.6 o.o

Did you places all the files correctly? i mean firmware.bin from the Firm.7z file.
and the emunand and reboot folder.

Yes, it's in root.
did you also try adding the offset?
Code:
{
    title = "AuReiNand";
    path = "/ReiNand.dat";
    offset = "0x12000";
},

they have to be in a /rei folder not on root.

Edit:
on root /Reinand.dat
/rei/emunand/
/rei/reboot/
/rei/firmware.bin

Hmm... Thanks. I did try reinstalling it, but I'll try finding it in the title list and deleting it....
I wonder why it's being a jerk face.

Thanks for the answer!

Okay, some news. I've been digging in rxTools and AuReiNand code.
Great news : Re-introduce the "Rei" version string patch is very, very easy.
Bad news : It would patch "Ver." whenever AuReiNand is loaded, so you would see "Rei" instead of "Ver." in EmuNAND AND SysNAND when using A9LH. I've been looking for rxTools patch, the thing is that they're using some variable "nandSector" (https://github.com/roxas75/rxTools/...tive_firm/source/payload/arm9/thread/thread.c) to check if you're in Sys or EmuNand and I can't find a way to do a similar check in AuReiNand. Maybe @Aurora Wright has an idea ?

I'll do some tries later when I'll go back to home to see if I can get the first patch working and compile it.

Just look at original ReiNAND github, it should still have the version string patching in the code.
EDIT: BTW, the reason it was removed is that it is unpredictable where the string gets patched and can cause problems if it happens in games instead of just settings.

The original ReiNand just patches "Ver" when it loads. It's fine on original ReiNand since it can only run emuNand. However it would also patch AuReiNand on sysNand, and I want to have different version strings on Sys/EmuNand.
So I need a way to check if we're actually on EmuNAND OR on SysNAND.

Yeah, I missed that part. Anyway, check my edit above as that was the main point I wanted to make.

So if I understand correctly, i can delete sysnandupdate file to boot a9hl in sysnand?

Could I flash my 10.6 emunand to my sysnand then just use sysnand for all my stuff?
If you do a normal direct restore you will end up with vanilla 10.6 sysNAND. Which is pretty bad since they just blocked browserhax and menuhax.
