I am definitely skeptical. Video or it doesn't exist.

EDIT: Hate to be harsh, but something about those screen shots strikes me as odd.
You're not being harsh, skepticism is healthy.
These screenshots are nice, but a video, github, something would be better.

Not sure why it would be fake (looks like a CtrBootManager9 with more features using Decrypt9's sources for the base interface) but not sure what it's doing in this thread since it's a boot payload (.bin) manager, not a homebrew (.3dsx) launcher.

Well, arm9 payloads are homebrew basically....

Release or it didn't happen. I could Photoshop that with a bit of time.

Ok, lets do this again.

In A9LH context you can't execute 3dsx files.

Why you say? 3dsx homebrew relies on libctru. The homebrew Launcher is a libctru based homebrew. Libctru uses svc for low level stuff. The svc subsystem is majorly in the arm11 kernel and the firmware (firmware as in firmware.bin). Guess what. Both are not ready and off in a9lh context. If you start the firmware yourself, well you got to boot the os.

So, it's possible to write a homebrew Launcher for a9lh? Yes it is. And it will able to launch 3dsx? No it wont. You'll have to either reinstantiate the svc subsystem (a hell) or manage communication between arm9 and arm11 by hand (a pointer hell), if and only if you got the arm11 cpu to init with some sort of custom arm11loader (arm assembly hell).

TL;DR: you can't execute 3dsx in a9lh. Also a9lh is not meant for this.

EDIT: But the other way around... (a9lh payloads in the regular homebrew launcher) That's another story.

Yes. But since there is no word to describe .3dsx files specifically and there is one to describe arm9 payloads specifically, and since there are already arm9 payloads launcher, it's more likely that "homebrew" is used for .3dsx files.

  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive

    Keep them both
