Yeah, at least at the moment. Since I heard removing A9LH without a backup is pretty risky.

actually, for o3ds, it's quite easy... just reinstall firm0 (with an update or something) and bam, good to go... though I wouldn't recommend updating too far

How are people using this?!? I'm trying to find good tuts but some are confusing like one needs otp and one that doesn't even mention it

You need OTP to initially install arm9loaderhax. Always. No exceptions.

Updating arm9loaderhax to include screen-init does not require OTP (But initially installing it still does) if you use the updater.

how do i update arm9loaderhax to include screen-init :l

If you already have it installed, there's an updater floating around (Hopefully someone can link it). Alternatively, you can compile dark_samus' arm9loaderhax installer (Which will require your OTP again), and install that the same way you initially did.

• Download
• Rename installer.bin to arm9loaderhax.bin
• Insert both files from archive to SD
• Boot

Yes for this update you can recompile and run the 3dsx to overwrite OR use the updater.

For N3DS people who have trouble with the screen-init installer, where it shuts down immediately when trying to load the installer, try recompiling your arm9loaderhax.3dsx with dark-samus's fork of it and running it (on top of your existing a9lh setup, assuming you still have 9.x sys): https://github.com/dark-samus/arm9loaderhax

I got screen-init to work with this.

I'm getting an error when recompiling with this "ImportError: No module named Crypto.Cipher"

do you have pycrypto installed?

do you have pycrypto installed?

Probably not, how would i go about installing it? there doesn't seem to be a windows version available from what i've found.

Simply install this.
