The boot9.bin dump generated by boot9strap seems not compatible with yellows8's boot9_tools. The keys generated do not match those I find online. Maybe a different offset is needed. Has anyone got it working?
Edit: Had to strip the first 0x8000 bytes (so the resulting file is 32kb), the keys match now.

A lot of keys seem to be missing still, I guess these are set in arm9loader/FIRM or in the 3DS software, would be nice to have a tool that could dump those too.

Do you think nintendo will patch sighax on the new2ds
Doubt it, they would have to actually redo the hardware and that's something Nintendo is not known for doing. Nintendo is often known for reusing the same parts and only tweaking the chips they need. So they most likely only changed the display chip to indicate that it's not a "New3DS" and thus to not check the 3D feature.

Nintendo: "We could patch this serious exploit, but that sounds like a lot of work and will cost money, so nah"

I have a question about B9S, if someone has the full knowledge to answer.

If I put the original 11.4 FIRM file as my boot.firm, would my system boot to a somewhat OFW CFW?? I mean, boot normally as if no CFW was installed?
If so, this is the cleanest environment possible?

Maybe I'm confusing the FIRM partition binary with the NATIVE_FIRM, or something like that, but I think you got the idea of what I'm trying to ask.

I don't know that this is possible with b9s in the form I released it, but I want it to be possible and it should be in the near future.
