This is just a fall back for when there is no armloaderhax.bin at the root of the SD card. If you want to boot a full CFW or any other payload, you need that payload.

I know my English is not perfect but I don't think it's confusing.

i have the payload for this armloader hax.bin, i can boot without sd now, but if i change the armloaderhax.bin from bootanim9 .bin i cant boot at all. thats my point. it like shadownand does not also support bootanim9 at the time
The purpose of the payload in this topic is to boot when there is no payload on the SD card instead of shutting down the console. It also provides a minimal CFW with FIRM protection and sig patch but ONLY if there is no payload on the SD card.
It is not a CFW replacement.
If you want to use BootAnim9 you will need everything that BootAnim9 requires. That is BootAnim9 payload and a CFW.

don't listen to Redferne they are confused.
Simply rename the arm9loaderhax.bin to arm9loaderhax_si.bin to enable screen-init which bootanim9 requires.
No I'm not confused (this time).
I forgot about the screen init but he will still need a CFW payload named arm9payload.bin in the anim folder.
If there is a payload at the root of the SD card the payload installed in the NAND is not used.
Based on the way the original question was asked, it's safe to assume that @vhaines already had bootanim9 already had bootanim9 working, and after updating to this version of A9LH it stopped working for them due to the way it implements screen-init vs non screen-init.
Bootanim9 will not show an animation unless you have screen-init, and because vhaines did not state the 3ds wouldn't boot at all chances are it still boots the arm9payloads.bin that they had originally set up.
All of that was just educated guessing though.
That's what I understood first but the end of his sentence got me confused. I thought he wanted to use the new payload as his only CFW which wouldn't work. I completely forgot about the screen init...
@TheCyberQuake, i already did that i change the bootanim9 armloaderhax.bin to arm9loaderhax_si.bin it can boot now, but i don't see any animations. but if i dont use this payload that can boot with out sd, i can see animation using arm9loaderhaxv2 payloads.
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
what i want to impose here is that i can boot my 3ds even with out the sd and then also have bootanim9 to work. i cant make it to work using this payload, even if ichange it to arm9loaderhax_si.bin

Yea, actually i have arm9payload.bin my original arm9loaderhax.bin change to arm9payload.bin and put on anim folder thats why im able to see the animation,
Well then I have no idea
You might want to try to chainload it with BootCTR9 as suggested in the Bootanim9 thread.
That's weird. When I tested earlier (when I first installed this new version) I didn't have any problems with Bootanim9. I would try redownloading Bootanim9 and replacing it on your SD.
@TheCyberQuake ok try it on bootanim9, when I try this payload ,well I don't see any animations or it wont boot.
why this is nos an official release yet?
Are there some important bugs?
What would happen if I launch SAFE_MODE without SD in a 3DS? Will it break? (I hear LumaLite doesnt protect the FIRM partition in SAFE_MODE yet)

I have a 2DS that is being very picky about which SD card it is able to boot with. Currently I can only to get it to boot with a 2 GB card I had laying around even though it originally worked with a different 8 GB card. It does however seem to read the 8 GB SD card after boot if I swap it, all the games show back up.
Will doing this simply give my 100% boot rate and full functionality?

@AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.+2 -

Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other. -

I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.+1 -

I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet

Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.

Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol

Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150
