Awesome tutorial! I had already done this prior to your guide but it did help me out on how to set up decrypt9 for a9lh. Thanks!

I started doing the OTP, then the guide changed midway lol. No big deal, saw that you added a section about FBI/HS injection.

Any reason to advise people to use BootCtr9 over CtrBootManager9? (real question, not shaming you)
What is this update.bin that can be launched by holding A on boot in your boot_config.ini? I guess it's a leftover from your personal config?

Updated the guide, "You can now hold A on boot to launch any updater bins Delebile releases in the future"

Can you explain what this unbrick emunand 2.1 step in the OTPHelper does? When I dumped OTP on my O3DS using guide v2.2, I don't remember doing anything similar to this step.

It's needed to fix the 2.1 firmware, which was only designed to work on o3ds

He does mean o3DS: the 2.1 system version was made to work for what was available at the time which is o3DS. (grammar ambiguity? edit: ok, misread :P)

Well, this is amazing.

Can I translate Part 4 and 5 of your guide to portuguese? I already have a guide that covers parts 1, 2 and 3 :P

This translation would help some people in another forum.

Actually, you may want to wait a day or two to make sure all the edits are done

This guide includes information to get you from nearly any situation to full arm9loaderhax CFW. This includes the updated OTP guide, which is now based on @d0k3's OTPHelper.
This guide is amazing. I am getting ready to go from one of the original CFW to the most recent using this guide. I ran into one problem... The "Old 3DS AuReiNAND NTR" download link and mirror are dead. I'm sure I can find the file elsewhere but there are multiple revisions and I am not sure which to use. Any help would be appreciated!

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
