Hacking CakesFW or AuReiNand with a9lh?

[riverscn]

What do you prefer and why?

 

[Mazamin]

Aureinand because it's the first cfw for A9LH and even the one with the best boot speed, as it's minimal.

 

[gkoelho]

I'm using Cakes and I Like it a lot. There's not much of a difference beetween then by now. AuReinand is more user-friendly and Cakes has some more versatility on your hands.

AureiNAND, has a better reboot patch that means your able to load DS/GBA and even games like smash brothers with easy.

Cakes is a little behind on some patches but allows you to disable patches if needed (good for testing things)

Auteinand easy to setup and use
Cakes more geared for advanced users

ReiNAND? Never heard of it =)

In all seriousness though, great work on your stuff o: Any updates on ReiNAND?

I use cakes. If it had agb_firm support, it'd be a clear winner. i still like it more since it was my first cfw lol

I've been working on multiple things (mostly adding stuff to ctrulib).. kinda was getting burnt out from reinand.. But I uploaded the reinand mod i used for my dev unit for a while.. i just happened to come back to it months later and fixed a few things, rebased it and voila, emuannd on dev units x3
I'll try to push a branch for o3ds soon-ish.

If only dev units were more easier to come by

AuReiNAND is what I've been running since I first installed A9LH and loved it ever since! Like everyone says, GBA and DS/DSi support right out of the box, SysNAND protection, faster boot speed, and regular updates.

Excuse me guys but I don't see the point in using a9lh despite the better boot rate and time...
Am I missing something?

for me, it takes 7 second to boot reinand with 100% bootrate on a9lh
where as if i used menuhax, it'd be like 30+ seconds with 25% bootrate

CFW running on SysNAND. So even faster boot rate. As well only needing to install GBA/DSi games once.

I'll add on to what the other 2 on top of me said.
You can boot any arm9 payload before sysNAND "boots".
So you can run something like Decrypt9 and unbrick your 3DS without a hardmod.

 

[Sonansune]

both

Can I use a9lh with emunand? I think emunand is safer since if you screw it no problem it is just a emunand and easy to restore a backup.

Yes. None of the CFWs force you to use sysNAND if you don't want to (but AuReiNand boots you to sysNAND after playing a GBA game, so you don't lose your save).

Cakes as my default one and, just for curiosity, I also installed AuReiNand and timed the booting times for both and they are pretty much the same, so I don't understand why people say it is faster.

It is technically faster. I don't recall if it's faster on emuNAND or sysNAND. (I know AuReiNAND has had some updates involving emuNAND.)

 

[A600]

I used a stopwatch and, in my case, I can't say one is faster than the other (Sysnand only and usepatchedfw enabled with AuReiNand). Anyway, I'll stick with Cakes because it works with all I need and never ever had a problem with it. When all people were using rxTools, I chose Cakes and we all know what have become of rxTools
