Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[punderino]

I believe quality of card is a factor but so is # of games installed and capacity of card

ahhh right, i just included the flag file, removed the splash screen and use a really good card

i know some will argue that the 3ds bottle necks so makes no difference what msd you use, but from my own tests i get a 9.5 second boot on a samsung 64gb uhs1 card and 8 second boot with a sandisk extreme pro 64gb card

sorry for any confusion earlier

I'm running sysNAND doe ;~;

I agree totally

I have about 14 gb free space on my 64gb San Ex Pro card and it boots really fast

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I'm running sysNAND doe ;~;

running sysnand only here also, binned emunand totally

Where can I get a non-screen-init A9LH? How can I install it with SafeAL9HInstaller if I already have delebile's AL9H installed?

For this guide: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-5-(arm9loaderhax-&-AuReiNAND)
if I wanna boot into Aurei Emunand after a9lh installation, what are the steps?

For this guide: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-5-(arm9loaderhax-&-AuReiNAND)
if I wanna boot into Aurei Emunand after a9lh installation, what are the steps?

1- Flash 9.2 sysnand backup to NAND instead of fully updated emuNAND backup (the CTRNAND part).
2- Flash back fully updated emunand backup to enuNAND because the actuall one will be 2.1 emuNAND.
3- Remove updatedsysnand file from AuRei folder in SD card to boot to emuNAND by default instead of sysNAND.
4- Don't format emunand of course

I wanted to block sysnand entry/button combo all together and lock user to emunand but also want to allow to boot into decrypt9 with a more challenging button combo L+R+A. Changes that I made to source are;

Spoiler

in firm.c

change
emuNAND = 1,

Change
//If L and R are pressed, chainload an external payload
to
//If L are pressed, chainload an external payload

Delete
/* If L is pressed, and on an updated SysNAND setup the SAFE MODE combo
is not pressed, boot 9.0 FIRM */
if((pressed & BUTTON_L1) && !(updatedSys && pressed == SAFEMODE)) mode = 0;

Delete
/* If L or R aren't pressed on a 9.0/9.2 SysNAND, or the 9.0 FIRM is selected
or R is pressed on a > 9.2 SysNAND, boot emuNAND */
if((updatedSys && (!mode || ((pressed & BUTTON_R1) && pressed != SAFEMODE))) ||
(!updatedSys && mode && !(pressed & BUTTON_R1))){
//If not 9.0 FIRM and B is pressed, attempt booting the second emuNAND
if(mode && (pressed & BUTTON_B)) emuNAND = 2;
else emuNAND = 1;
}

firm.h

Change
#define BUTTON_L1R1 (BUTTON_R1 | BUTTON_L1)
to
#define BUTTON_L1R1 (BUTTON_R1 | BUTTON_L1 | BUTTON_A)
delete
#define SAFEMODE (BUTTON_L1R1 | BUTTON_A | (1 << 6))

Anyways, here is a copy of the compiled file from v3.10 for arm9
All working great!!

Anyone else having problems with the built in payload chainer?

i updated to aureinand 3.10 with this sd card inside http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010Q57S62?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 and im getting 14sec start up any reason why?

because it is very large

It's normal.

I have around a 8-9 second boot time with aureinand 3.10 and still using the original install of a9lh. Think I'm good to go there.

The 3DS' SD card reader is bad so larger SD cards will result in it taking longer to boot. Not a big deal, it's normal.

I have 64 GB Kingston Class 10, UHS-I

it takes 11 seconds from Power Off on A9LH sysNand only, on 10.7...

 

[toto621]

With SD/mSD greater than 32GB you will face those problems. with my class 10 Sandisk Ultra 32GB it take 7sec to boot on 10.7.0-32E updated SysNAND. The greater you SD/mSD space will be, the longer it will take due to crappy (O/N)3DS card reader.

 

[Omegapsy]

Exactly what "Patched_Firmware" files are being referred to in the latest release? I am slightly confused.

@Aurora Wright

Out of interest have you ever considered telling your payload to look for the aurei folder within the nintendo folder

So we have one less folder on the root ?

Something so small probably wouldn't interest you, but would be a very cool mod imo, for those with OCD like me about having clean root's

Hide those folders through Windows XD

That's what I did on a friend's 3DS. Installed CFW on his 3DS, but I hid all the hax files/folders. His SD card (at least to him) looks the same as when he first gave it to me.

But that is cheating

I will know it's there, i simply won't be able to sleep (joke)

is there a way to install a better reader

Yeah I get around 8.5 sec with a 32GB Samsung EVO, and 11.5 sec with a 64GB Samsung EVO. So 14 seems about right for a 128GB card.
