I didn't want to create a new thread but couldn't find after searching here and reddit.

I currently have a N3DS with gateway and EmuNAND all setup nicely, i have generated my own OTP using the guide from the FAQ but still sticking with EMuNAND for now...

So my questions for i jump:

1. Am i able to install A9L and configure it to auto boot into EmuNAND (thus allowing me to use gateways ROM selector)
2. If i cannot do this, i have seen this post and they appear to have a CFW (luma3ds i think) and support the gateway menu?

Appreciate any guidance :)

Don't use emuNAND. And they're working on a way to boot gateway from A9LH

Did you miss the whole part where he already has emunand and probably many games already installed?... I myself would rather keep emunand and all the content installed than re-install everything all over again...

but A9LH doesn't overwrite..... it literally restores the original emuNAND backup

Just read this thread, all the information is in it to be able to use A9LH to boot directly into GW, or set a button to then boot into CFW on power on.

I have done this myself and it seems to work well so far.

I'm stuck on 4.5 thanks to a9lh
don't fucking do it (unless you have a super high quality sd card with 0% chance of file corruption)

Why would he have to reinstall the games...? Just swap NANDs and use sysNAND.

Can you share your A9 payloads please?

I would if I was at home, not currently. I just did this:

http://gbatemp.net/threads/the-status-of-gateway-and-a9lh.427889/page-15#post-6385681

Later when I am home if you don't have it I can post the payloads I used. I have it so my units boot GW by default and if A is held down it boots into CFW.

Actually I was able to grab a copy of the files I used in the above link.

With this you should have enough to do what I did if you follow what I said in that link

Just make sure to put whichever payload_stage1.bin you prefer (start or A or B) into a9hl folder before updating a9hl.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
