Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

Lucky SOB.

How so? It's pretty simple to switch over.... Am I missing something?

Ah I meant in terms of having it not add any boot time XD I use it too hence why I asked! Figured maybe with the extra delay from emunand anyway that could have explained why you saw no delay but as your on sysnand

Ahhh lol. Might have something to do with my o3ds I dunno.

I saw a video on twitter (might've been a link in this thread) of a n3ds booting... those things seem to take AGES.

Perhaps. However without splash.bin it seems nearly 1:1 booting vs my O3DS with the SD card out booting into 9.2 Sysnand. (about a second off)

Interesting. Once I get my n3dsXL I'll do some timing tests.

Only thing I'd say is if you're already using A9LH there's no need to remove it like the guide says, you can hold L to boot into AuReiNand SysNand 9.2 and access decrypt9 fine, it's what I did. The rest of it is spot on.

I guess so. Will just probably leave my current setup as is.

I tried following the instructions the best I could. But I can only boot into emunand through holding R and sysnand through L and R. Is this normal?
EDIT: for further information I am using a9lh.

If you are running ARM9LoaderHax, you will need FIRM 9.0 to boot into sysNAND with "L" IIRC.
Anyway, what setup are you running atm? Menuhax type 1, type 2 or ARM9LoaderHax?

Sounds like you're using an outdated version of AuReiNAND. Just update to the latest version.

I believe a9lh with menuhax type 2.

I used the latest one from the aurouras github.

Well, try to remove MenuHax then, you probably won't need it and then you won't need to press R to boot into emuNAND.
Also check if your "rei" folder has a file called "firmware90.bin" or something like that, if you don't have it, download it from the FIRM pack.

Delete menuhax, that's the issue. You should be good then.

I have the firmware file. And The only reason i could boot into emunand was that I had menuhax installed. Is it possible to to boot without holding any buttons, and should I just replace my sysnand with my emunand since it is booting without sig-checks?

You don't need menuhax with A9LH. It automatically boots into emuNAND.

My emunand is not 9/9.2 Is that the issue?

No issue, it'll still cold boot into your emuNAND.

Hmm, you shouldn't need MenuHax to boot emuNAND if you are using ARM9LoaderHax, you only need the arm9loaderhax.bin with AuReiNAND.

Well, I just replaced my emuNAND with my sysNAND, it works perfectly so far, boot time is great, I can remove the SD card while the 3DS is on and I don't need to double install GBA/DSiWare games on both NANDs, IMO it's worth the trouble and it's pretty easy to do.

I was running emuNAND 10.6 and sysNAND 9.2 before, so you can swap even if your emuNAND is over 9.2.

I used this tutorial if you want to give it a try: https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-swap-sysnand-and-emunand-arm9loaderhax-only.415724/

cold booting with nothing pressed leaves me with a black screen. I'm using the latest AuReinand and dark samus's a9lh. I have both the a9lh bin and renand dat on my root. 03ds firm90 and firm rei folder. Anything I'm missing?

Do you have the updatedsysnand flag?

I fixed it. I had to replace my original firmware.bin from my rxtools with the ones from the firm pack. Thank you fo rthe help!
