Here it is:

XD I can now eat my soup in peace!

Jeez are you trying to give me high blood pressure?

No, sorry

Does this work with 9.0, or is it better to update to 9.2 first?

It should work without any issues on 9.0.

Another question: how can I build this 3dsx? Complete Guide plz, I have compiled anything, or in other words: I'm a n00b. I heard something with "make". Thank you very much in advance.

I wouldn't recommend you to do it then. You first need your OTP to build it.

Excellent. Using cakesFW and a payload made to allow fw 9.0 kernel I think it is, emunand9/decrypt9 worked again for me. I created a fresh emunand, and then using decrypt9 restored my backed up emunand. I now have arm9loader booting into Rei Emunand 10.5, and no funky theme issues this time. Woot. Finally.

Piece of cake! brb making an OTP generator.

Here's an OTP generator that will be at least as good as any other one posted here for at least the next few weeks:
OTP Generator

However, because being "at least as good" as something that doesn't exist isn't a high bar to meet, I strongly advise AGAINST using this method to generate an OTP. Instead, I recommend searching for the term "One Time Programmable" non-volatile memory, and take some time to learn why the above won't help you.

Genius.

I'm so tempted to just backup all my saves and start fresh using arm9loaderhax in Sysnand

I'd advise against that as you'll be stuck on 9.2 unless you try a risky update like Shadow (unless you're happy to wait on 9.2 until further progress is made). I've just got my 9.2 sysnand and 10.5 emunand setup running again. Booting into Rei emunand with payload.

What issues are you having?

Just inject your emuNAND CTRNAND into your sysNAND, and boom, you're done. Everything from your emuNAND on sysNAND.
edit: update your firmware.bin if you're doing this

Really? Nice, didn't know that.

I have about 30 Gateway saves that need converting and 1.9 gigs doesn't seem like much but I can free up space since Emunand is now pointless to use.

I guess I could do this but my only concern is lets say 10.6 comes out will I be safe to update Sysnand?

 

[Mrrraou]

wheee

you don't even listen to me ;'(

No currently available CFWs for arm9loaderhax are patching the FIRM partition updating. So not ATM, else updating will overwrite arm9loaderhax.

You lost me lol care to dumb that down

Simplified: updating sysnand is still rly rly bad

 

[Xenon Hacks]

Awww I guess I can stick to 10.5 for now
