I'm just saying it's not at the point where I feel it's worth replacing Luma on my setup.
Damn, people not reading the README/OP/thread posts make me so happy :^)
The README says 'I can't tell you where to get this' because it's Nintendo's intellectual property and not mine to distribute. Even giving links to the firmware files is pushing it. I'd like to keep this project as squeaky clean legally as possible so I can keep developing it, thank you very much.
Although this is true, it still falls under the DMCA exception as part of "security research" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).
I think than even distributing completely decrypted firmware files is a grey area (and not completely illegal) - one could argue that given a Nintendo 3DS system, one could obtain the decrypted firmware with ease (literally all systems are capable of running D9, given enough resources like hardmod if 11.0)
This is not to say pirated CIAs are OK, since those require a titlekey to be decrypted, and this is obtained illegally. On the other hand, native system titles (like *_FIRM) use the cetk which can be legally obtained from the CDN, as well as the firmware itself, with the only thing between an encrypted and a decrypted firmware is the AES engine and the various undumped keyslots.
