    A9LHelper

    Current version: 0.4

    Use:
    This tool is intended to guide you through Plailect's guide. It moves most of the necessary files to SD, and gives you instructions which part of the guide to do based on your 3DS.

    Features:
    - Downloads files and puts them in the right place for you
    - Tells you which steps you're supposed to do (from Plailect's guide)
    - Install from existing hax (ex. menuhax)
    - Works with 9.0 upwards, < 9.0 will be written soon™

    Installation:
    Install Python 2.7.11, not 3.X!
    Run the .py file I guess

    Download:
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_0A-iy41haIdGlmSjZVRl9jQzg/view?usp=drivesdk

    Changelog:
    Warning: Spoilers inside!

    Between here and there
    It's just going to be a video tutorial but on the 3ds itself, which will get outdated.

    Looks nice!
    I'd probably use it if I didn't have a slightly modified version of the guide memorized (differences being DevMenu getting installed to NAND, and Cakes+H&S injection to install Menuhax [all possible via Spider] rather than even try with sliderhax)

    But nice job!

    Thank so much! About to try it, got to step 4 on my own and was about to put it off until later.

    As long as it looks, all you're really doing is updating Red/EmuNand, backing up both Nands, putting FW.bin in the Luma folder, downgrading Red/EmuNand to 2.1, using OTPHelper to clone that, then using Spider to launch OTPHelper letting you dump your OTP and restoring your SysNand backup

    Just the guide makes it simple. er.

    I tried the settings for my three consoles and got "This is unfinished. It will be added later." :/

    I gotcha, I'll probably finish it tomorrow. I just didn't want to spend the rest of my night sorting files and doing cumbersome stuff.

    Why is this currently Windows-only if you're using Python? You can abandon the `os.system()` calls and use something like shutil: https://docs.python.org/2/library/shutil.html
    It's platform independent, and you can do high-level file operations.
     
    Last edited by spoonm, May 27, 2016 - Reason: shutil, not shutils. My bad, had "coreutils" in mind.

    When I try that, I always a "access denied" error. No clue to why, really.
    As it says in the OP, only from the start and 9.0 onward. Plan to add that in the next few days.

    As I already said, currently only supports unmodified 3ds's. Will add that in a few days.

    They're all on 9.0 and 9.2. I missed the part about the modified versions still being worked on I guess.

    Keep up the good work, appreciate it.

    Run the script as an administrator or disable UAC.

    Tried that. It can still only access the folder it's in. Also, I'd prefer to do it without administrator rights needed. Lets programs look kinda shady in my opinion. Maybe I'll just write another version for Linux...

    How does it look shady? And if you did that, you might as well write a different one for OS X as well, and at that point you should just have one script that determines the OS it's being ran on.

    Just my opinion I guess. And I'm aware that I should probably just make the script determine the system.
    It's far from finished, that's why it's version 0.1

    Not bad, I suppose. Here's a screenshot for anyone curious but lazy.

    I recommend checking out the program "ModMii" which is a similar concept.

    It now supports already modified 3DS's as of 0.3.
    (It should also support Linux and OS X. Can't test it though)
