Homebrew I'm a bit afraid so, a question: Is arm9loaderhax a must?

[Quantumcat]

i know that here are some people who are making hardmod services is here someone who can make it for a9lh too? (i cant stay so long on pc because after an hour my eyes are hurting)

I don't think anyone would, because no one would pay what it's really worth as it takes so long - for example, $30/hour is probably the minimum I'd ever work for (on a one-off job), and absolute best case scenario is a9lh takes 3 hours to set up - would you really be willing to pay $90 for the service, plus postage? Probably not. Maybe you could find an unemployed person who would do it for less cause they're just happy to get any sort of cash, but, if they have the attention skills and computer literacy to do it in a non-excessive amount of time, they could probably find a job if they wanted one - so it would be hard to find this kind of person!

till Nintendo starts blocking Emunand in any way that leads to Absolutly the only way of getting past it is A9LH its not a "Must haveto use" sure its convenient and make it pretty much brickproof (it'd take breaking FIRM0&FIRM1 [aka almost a blanked NAND])

but if Menuhax's Downsides are fine w/ you then stick w/ it

I installed it on 4000 consoles like everyone else *rolls eyes*

Protip for installing a9lh: Only ever use sysupdater 0.4.2. I've heard countless stories of people whose downgrade failed by using a crappy sysupdater fork, but I've only used the normal sysupdater and successfully used it on three 3dses.
Support the original, not the imitation™

Just to clarify: all the kewl kidz have A9LH

Not so sure about that. SafeSysUpdater indeed never worked for me, but PlaiSysUpdater did work flawlessly everytime I used it.

That's one of the many many many steps in the A9LH process.

I would recommend Teracopy if you don't have it. It can verify after you copy to make sure there aren't any copy errors.

the biggest parts that make it take so long is backing up your Sys and EmuNand. (depending on the speed /class of the SD this can take awhile i average 6ish+ mins on an Class 4!) then Copying the Content to the PC for a backup. the next delay come sin Downgrading and Flashing that downgraded emunand to Sysnand. then after that delay is the time it takes to Restore Sysnand After dumping the OTP and restoring Emunand. and further still restoring the SD's Contents. again depending the class/speed of teh SD and How much you got sittin on the SD This can easily take you 2 hours if not 3!

Well, you simply need to download a DSiWare game (such as WarioWare: Touched) in .cia format (look on that iso site) and install it on both SysNAND and EmuNAND (with destination set to "NAND" if you use an old FBI version) if you're using emuNAND
If you're talking about DS game injection (playing any DS game) however, that is not possible yet.

ohh damn i was confused btween dsiware and ds!! sorry!
btw are pokemon games available in dsiware?

The only thing riskier for n3ds is you can't toggle wifi in 2.1

Plailect's guide was updated a few days ago with a fix for this: remove the battery for 5-10 seconds. This invalidates the RTC memory (equivalent to "CMOS" on PCs), which re-enables wifi. (It also causes the clock to be reset.)

i assume you refer to @hundshamer . . . and if i remember correctly he sells al9h n3ds systems . . . so he may be able to help you . . . if the price is right !

It took about 5 hours, a bricked 2DS (because of an error I made beforehand), a Nintendo repair, and then about 10 more hours to set up a9lh.

In exchange, I got a full month's worth of the convenience and safety of A9LH. It was worth the time it took IMO, even if I had to wait a month for Nintendo to repair it. It's up to you whether or not you want to do it.
