Hacking A9LH Guide Update - Discussion

[Clydefrosch]

You can create an emunand which would allow you to have 300 more games.

well, yeah, but the point of this was to get rid of emunand... but i guess I'll just be more picky about what things i install.

Followed to letter the new guide for my 2DS 6.0.0 US. Everything worked until i restored my backed NAND. I get a black screen when i try to boot. arm9loaderhax works ok, because i can start Hourglass9 by holding Start on boot, or Luma3DS 6.0.1 options by holding Select on boot. Any suggestions?

Should i try 2DS 9.2.0 ctrtransfer?

This is the part where a Nand backup is restored.. Right?

 

[alwaysfish]

yes, Section IV - Restoring the System, step 8 fails. 2DS doesn't boot after sysnand restore

quick question, am at the part of restoring my emunand i had now, currently copying all files from my sd card to my computer.
Is it ok if i power off my 2DS now? (I'm still at the "Unmounting SD Card" screen) or should i keep it on.

Sorry if this has been asked before, just wanna make sure that i don't do anything wrong so close at the end

Ok, so i tried to do 9.2.0 ctrtransfer and the system booted successfully

Skimmed through the new guide, just got a quick question. Since I have 2 New 3DS EUR with gateway emunand, is it ok to backup the emunand using EmuNAND9 before I start following the guide itself. I've only done it once with a freshly wiped Old 3DS XL.

Nice to know this is easier to do now.

It should be, yes.

Wow, this got almost 200 post already. I'm glad, i hope this keep going like this and stay on the front page as long as possible, hoping newcomers will see it and follow the leads to the guide for CFW.

I was hoping someone could pin the news on the front page that @endoverend posted about this to the top of the topic list in the CFW forum

Question, I already have a Menuhax setup with Cakes and ReiNAND at the latest version. I downgraded from 10.3 to 9.2 in my SysNAND. Can I still install A9LH and keep games/saves/homebrew?

https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Move-RedNAND

pretty much the same question as me, if I read that page correctly should be able to backup emunand and restore it after installing A9LH, correct me if im wrong.

Think I will try this on my n3ds xl
Looks cleaner then before

What advantages does a9lh have? Never did mine when I modded my n3ds systems. Isn't this how I would play gba cia files?

1-Brick protection
2-sysnand CFW
3-Booting to any arm9 payload in miliseconds
4-Yes you can play GBA CIA files from it using a CFW like LUMA3DS

But can I upgrade with a EmuNAND setup though...

Sure you can. even better, you can extract your emunand image and flash it to sysnand whilst keeping your arm9loaderhax firm

Nah, I just want to keep homebrew and games. What step do I start on and do I have to delete EmuNAND?
