I'd read over the a9lh page one more time, and make sure you have every file that it specifies. Also, crazy question, you are on 2.1 firmware right?
Making sure, i figured as much, but i thought possibly the reason it couldn't access the partitions was because you were in a firmware that locked it out.
Yeah like the error message, you don't have 4 .bin in your a9lh folder, you missed them from the guide
You are missing four files, specifically the contents of the arm9loaderhax release.7z
The guide directs you to "The latest release of arm9loaderhax (the .7z file)"
Not according to your earlier screenshot. Be sure those files are directly within the a9lh folder, not within any other folder. See my earlier screenshot I posted.
Oh yes that screenshot I do see is wrong man I'm losing it man you guys are the best! I'm such a noob!

Updated screenshot same error think my 3ds just doesn't want cfw!

I downgraded from 11.2 to install CFW that has nothing to do with this error as well right?

No, I did a 2.1.0 ctrtransfer from 11.0 and installed a9lh fine, as did many other people.
I honestly believe the issue may stem from the (un)archiver you're using, or the fact that you're using a Mac. I see a lot of 'random' errors like this from Mac users. Sorry I can't help more.
Also, the fact that you're not getting an otp.bin is also troubling. You are on 2.1.0, right? Are you successfully booting into safea9lhinstaller?
Here I'll do another screenshot of my entire sd card.... how should the contents of safea9 be setup? Am I missing anything in this one?

I have bootcamp man maybe I should retry the process on Windows 10? Guess Macs don't play well with 3DS's or something? Never thought like it but definitely a good idea!

You don't need the .3dsx (or .smdh); you need to run it through the browser. Please just follow the guide.
Maybe. Worth a shot, I suppose.
Yes I boot into safe9installer and then get said error message every time luckily I'm careful so I don't brick but not fun being stuck on 2.1 XD

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -

TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
