Simply love this update, I always had to open NTR to enable the CPU speed-up for older games but with this there really is no need for that :D
The only option that I would like to see in the future is taking screenshots and I can rest in peace

I moved all the information to a dedicated GitHub Wiki. Since a common complaint is the lack of documentation, I'd like you to read all of it and tell me if something is unclear or could be explained better (and how).
"But I don't want to read the instructions. Just tell me how to use it." Says every confused person that doesn't realize they still have to read either way. Lol

It seems like only yesterday when Aureinand became a thing. Well here, today, it became THE thing. Keep up the amazing work!

It's pretty good. I feel stupid when I try to comprehend "Use SysNAND FIRM as default (A9LH-only)" though. I still don't know if I need that option or not since it works with and without.

You can have a 9.6 firm file and use a 10.7 firm if you have that option on.

I really spent a lot of time trying this out and I have to say, the usage has become a lot more complicated but also more powerful which is fine I guess.

But if someone likes to still use menuhax in combination with the bootmanagers option to shut it down, it won't work as libkhax isn't possible anymore.
Also rxTools doesn't boot because of this reason.
I replaced the ntr firmware.bin with the N3DS 9.0 firmware from AuReiNand until 4.2 and this restores the previous behaviour until the point of games from sysNAND that reboot the N3DS which results in an error message.
I think NTR is a great way to enhance the game experience and helps people to translate games etc. but I would appreciate it, if you could make booting the 9.0 firm again more accessible and I find the wiki entry to "Use SysNAND FIRM as default (A9LH-only)" a bit confusing because of this fact as I thought it would use the firm installed on sysNAND which can't be as libkhax isn't working.

I still have a sysNAND with 9.0 installed if you didn't understand that.
CFWs and other programms that depend on exploits until 9.2 aren't working anymore with any configuration made in AuReiNand, the usage of the NTR firmware.bin is also not working to make this exploits work.

If this does come, please have it as an option in startup options to disable, don't want useless screenshots to be generated because of a street fighter move.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    "OK Cortana I want that mountain a little taller and more snow on top, and I would like some random ancient pine forest around the bottom"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    "Now we need a spring fed river flowing down the north side and add some wild life appropriate for the biome"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    @The Real Jdbye, it's bed bath and beyond you nitwit
