Hello i have emunand and now i have recopy all the rei files and now it works i can boot directly into emunand now i have to wait for SysNAND payload
Yeah If you had emunand from the start it would work. Issue is I have no emunand! But I'm glad to hear your 3DS is back up and running.
We were brick buddies for a while lol.
I do not know if you had already found it but i found an a9lh.bin for AuReiNand http://gbatemp.net/threads/source-release-reinand-n3ds-cfw.394309/page-196#post-6083433
Yeah I was using it. Failed to get it booting into sysnand last night, but I'll try again today.
You still need the rei folder on sd root with firmware.bin in it of course.
Yeah I used rei-N3DS from Aurora (renamed to rei of course), and firmware.bin from latest official Rei build. Think it might be the firmware.bin that is wrong. Don't I need a specific one for FW 9.2? Can't remember 100% as I've been using emunand 10.x for ages.
Not sure. i just used the firmware.bin from the aurora build.
Aurora build doesn't come with it as standard (https://github.com/AuroraWright/AuReiNand/releases). I'll test a couple of firmware.bin files and one should work.
Slight technical question, and a noob one, I'm pretty sure I know the answer though. Nintendo can't force this hack out of our sysnand can they? With something like a FW update? I know a sysnand restore can remove the loader, but Nintendos FW update process cannot? Seeing as Shadow is on 10.5 on sysnand it seems I do already have this answer.
If you stick with an emuNAND solution, then probably not. However, if you opt to go the sysNAND CFW route (like most probably will), I guess they could maybe try to look for it and remove it, but would it really be worth their time? I doubt CFW users are so numerous that we really pose a huge problem compared to the amount of PSP CFW users there were.
Updating via system settings WILL atm brick your system.
How I did it was... update with 10.5 cia's MINUS the native firm one...with sysupdater cia.
then eshop was bitching at me about updating so i THEN installed the native firm cia with devmenu.
fully functioning sysnand 10.5 with a9lh n3ds is the result.
True. I mean just wondering hypotheticals, as running a FW update is at your own peril anyway. I guess even if they do, a sysupdater style CIA update will probably be made to get onto later FWs.
Interesting to know how you done it, but without a hardmod no thanks
At least not for now till things mature with arm9.Out of interest can you restore a sysnand backup to go back down to 9.2, or do you need to use your hard mod to do so? I'd assume sysnand backup is okay.

It should be okay to use Aurora's mod to boot decrypt9 and do it that way with no hardmod, but I can't promise success (never tried it..).
Yeah I don't see why not considering the arm9loader is allowing us to execute everything "prior" to boot regardless of the sysnand FW version.
I'll probably just setup an emunand again to keep my noob self in check and leave sysnand until the actual devs continue their work.

D9 won't boot after the firm has loaded because it's too high so brahma fails and therefore D9 won't load.
D9 DOES load as arm9loaderhax.bin though but you can't see shit on screen yet obviously. lol
Audioboxer if you update through system settings it can lead to a brick, Shadow updated using Sysupdater with the Native_firm.cia removed, later he installed the native_firm but I would advise against it at the moment.
That isn't in this build as far as i know. and any builds I've compiled myself for some reason won't load. (NFI why...)
Either way if your sysnand is above 9.2 brahma will still fail... wtb brahma for >9.2 lol

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -

I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@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:
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:
@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:
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:
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
