Just wait for sometime. a9lh is still new, so not worth taking the risk yet. But later, this could be used for restoring sysNAND backups if you accidentally brick it.I have my system for myself only, and I don't care about bootrates. Should I get it?
It is worth It. I keep seeing people say wait etc. If you can follow instructions and have a few hours its really worth It. Ive got arm9loaderhax running on aureinand emunand 10.5 sysnand 9.2 with screen init and a bootloader + decrypt9 + An r4 flash card for ds stuff. Once you use arm9loaderhax you will be pleased to not have to mess around with menuhax as well as this just boots flawlessly every time and its really fast. I was nervous to downgrade to to get my otp.bin because of all the scare storys, but I follow the guide on here and had no problems. I will say downgrading with that sketchy sysupdater I used to come from 10.3 to 9.2 sysnand was making me sweat way more than this did. But of a rant but there is nothing wrong with arm9loaderhax and it actually improves how you use everything. I get annoyed keep seeing people say oh It bricks your 3ds....
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
I came back here when I got my new 3ds xl and I learnt a lot by reading and keeping up with the news on arm9loaderhax and saw the guide was updated several time So I could see that It was not going to instantly brick me lol. So my moral of the storys is reading the arm9loaderhax discussion thread on here and you will see about 100+ pages of people with It working perfect.
No, sadly it's more harder than that, if you have an O3DS, it's easier, but still need to downgrade sysNAND
If you have a N3DS, it's a lot harder ('cuz there no official version of FW 2.1 for N3DS)
Just use this guide, it's the safest method right now
i have a N3ds
There is a huge risk when flashing the 2.1 unbricked to sysnand even if you follow the guide 100% you can still get a brick due to how unstable the flasher can be especially on new 3ds.
Isn't wearing off the NAND chip faster also a disadvantage of A9LH?
