Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[Faolan]

Do I need the "updatedsysnand" file to update sysnand with a9lh?

 

[FIX94]

You really can't imagine how many people on here would enable that and then come here complaining that the new patches don't work. XD

oooh with the projects I did I know exactly what you mean I just like to take a risk like that and just brace for people complaining cause I know they are also people who end up using new features responsibly.

I'm curious, what are some cases someone would boot into sysNAND without the 9.0 FIRM by holding R? I feel like most of the time you would want the 9.0 FIRM so you can run things like HBL right?

You would load the 10.4 firmware to use games with 9.6 crypto.

i'm on rxtools 2.6 o3ds should i upgrade to this cfw? what is the different? thanks!!

DS Games seem to still be broken on 10.6 SysNAND on the latest release.

9.0 FIRM EmuNAND launches them just fine.

o3DS or n3DS?

DS games work fine on my n3DS (sysNAND 10.6).

works flawlessly here. tested both legit copy of avatar, and an ak2.1, on a 2ds and n3ds, both with 10.6sysnand and a9lh. using patched twl_firm

edit: how did i confuse ak2.1 with ak2i? im an idiot. fixed above

That's weird. Not only is my flash cart not working, but DS DOWNLOAD PLAY goes to a black screen and freezes.

using latest version of aureinand? o3ds or n3ds? patched twl_firm?

 

[gameking66]

Latest version o3DS, no patched TWL_FIRM, which is irrelevant to launching an included system title.

Have a nearly identical setup on an n3DS as well and that can boot DS titles without issue.

You probably did something wrong when switching your NANDs.
Any specific guide you followed?

If I only wanted to load a 9.2 emunand to use decrypt 9, would I rename the firmware90.bin in FIRMs/A9LH/rei-n3ds to firmware.bin and put it in the rei folder on the SD card?

No.

Put both firmware.bin and firmware90.bin in the /rei/ on your SD card. Assuming your emuNAND's already on 9.2, your sysNAND's already on 10.6, and you have the updatedsysnand flag, simply boot into emuNAND by pressing L at boot.

No.

Put both firmware.bin and firmware90.bin in the /rei/ on your SD card. Assuming your emuNAND's already on 9.2, your sysNAND's already on 10.6, and you have the updatedsysnand flag, simply boot into emuNAND by pressing L at boot.

Ive got 2 SD cards though, one for everything and another (the one in question) and its only purpose is to have an emunand on 9.2 to load decrypt9. So when this sd is inserted i'd like it to boot straight to emunand using the 9.0 firm because this is the only thing i want to use it for

Then yes, rename firmware90.bin to firmware.bin.

Is there a way to enable a system wide block on write to firm0 and firm 1 for both emunand and sysnand while also keeping the default set to boot to emunand on boot?

 

[FenrirWolf]

Pretty sure that that's exactly what aureinand does already.

Writing to your emunand's firm0/firm1 doesn't mean much of anything though. The a9lh never even did anything with it to begin with and emunand is always externally firmlaunched anyway, isn't it?

Actually the flag is not needed, the only requirement is that you're running on A9LH (so to be clear, you can update booting sysNAND with L or R without the flag).

You can have both on 10.6, if you really want.

Question: As it only shows 'Ver.' in System Settings, no Rei or AuRei(), how do I know that I'm updating my EmuNAND or sysNAND?
