Cakes Emunand as default (visible menu for configuration, multi-emunand up to 4), stable, no need to update and change things every single day :P
L for AuReiNand 9.0
R for Decrypt9WIP

7.5s booting into Emunand, as fast as OFW Sysnand with SD.

What SD card do you have? I can't get my 3DS to boot faster than 10 seconds, and I use sysNAND. I've tried Cakes, AuReiNAND, and some other private CFW.
They all boot in 10 seconds.

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.

You can, but with A9LH with CakesFW or AuReiNand if you brick it's easy to restore as emuNAND with Decrypt9WIP

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.

Maybe I'm late to reply, but hey, ctrulib improvements are really helpfull, cant think of something better now with all these arm9 privileges =)

Try using smaller SD cards. I use a 32gb one and always boot in something beetween 7-10sec on Sysnand using Cakes. The icons take a little extra seconds to load tho.

A9LH need to be installed on sysNAND. You can use both on both NANDs and AuReiNand can play GBA/DS games too

Yeah, AuReiNAND is the only CFW that allows you to play games such as Smash Bros/Monster Hunter (games that reboot when exiting) and GBA/DSiWare games at the same time. Cakes doesn't. In Cakes you need to have a compromise, either GBA/DSiWare, or games such as Smash Bros. This is why I recommend AuReiNAND over Cakes, especially on an o3DS.

I remember you, I helped you fix your issue yesterday. :P You're using AuReiNAND.

Haha, you did! I was confused because when i go into System Settings i dont have Rei pre-fix on the FW.. That made the think I am kicking into sysnand? Thanks for help...

Note i am also to remove the SD... I am guessing i need to try and run the hax again?.. If i try and boot without the SD its black screen..

It's not supposed to show that. AuReiNAND doesn't change the Ver. string in the System Settings. Also, doesn't really matter if you remove the SD card, you're on your sysNAND, so your 3DS won't crash if you remove it.

Thanks, I stupidly confused the fact i am booting SysNand/aurei and haven't "created" an emunand.. Should L+R on power on show me Emunand9? Because I get a black screen still if i try that.. Much appreciated :D

You'd need to add in a payload to be able to do that.
I'd say don't bother with an emuNAND anymore. SysNAND is as safe as emuNAND on A9LH.

So I've use CakedFW because I've read somewhere that Cakes has GBA support without the need of doing anything.

I still haven't installed any GBA VC, what CFW do I need to play GBA VC without having to patch agb_firm?

    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
