Install the latest vc_redist.x86.exe and you'll be fine

The x86? Damn I just wasted 30 minutes of my life downloading the x64 version

Ya, I got the x64 one first too and it didn't work on my win7 64-bit pc
Tried the x86 one and everything was ok

It makes no sense to put the commit number as I only make numbered releases (and I wouldn't like the looks of that).

Added version number to the config menu
AuroraWright committed 3 minutes ago

THANK YOU!

How about showing the commit number when you press SELECT to enter the Settings menu?

See? I always have good ideas.[emoji14]

Quick question. I compiled and installed the screeninit branch. If i want to switch to the noscreeninit, just i compile it and install through safea9lhinstaller? And will the config menu (boot with select) works with the noscreeninit? Thanks

Yes it will work along with decrypt9 or ctrbootmanager9

That's because you didn't follow what I wrote

 

[Kuroi-Akira]

I did it Right from C:\ aswell same thing
doing git clone --recursive https://github.com/AuroraWright/AuReiNand.git gives out another error

I'll reserve judgement for when I've played with it. I often have a hard time connecting to Windows 10 on my systems (although the O3ds seems to have better luck than N3ds. Ironic, since mSD management is an N3ds tool).

If ftpbrony works the first time every time, that's a big win. But looking at the GitHub, it's super outdated and isn't even called ftbrony anymore. Looks like the newer program only builds a .3dsx though.

In FileZilla: File->Site manager->New Site

Enter the info and hit ok.

In FileZilla, you can configure the number of connections. Not sure things would be as smooth or fast if typing the IP into explorer worked. If I can find a .cia of the updated ftpd, that can handle like 4 connections at once.

Generally for windows 8/8.1/10 I always just open the File Explorer and type \\NAME3DS (whatever your 3ds is called) and it takes a second and connects every time. I've never had an issue with it not connecting, granted sometimes if you try to have it do a network search for it (by going into network devices), it does not appear every time which is why I just started manually putting the name in and it worked. I do not have homegroup or file sharing enabled either so I know for a fact they are not required.

Late reply lol

Select the installeda9lh option then reboot and hold L to boot emunand and menuhax boots gateway. While its booting I hold L and boot gateway sysnand mode. Make sure you have the launcher.dat also.

Well, I had "updated sysNAND" and I could not make GW work since GW cannot be launcher FROM emuNAND, no matter if it's 9.X.
So I had to redo my A9LH setup but this time I put my NAN 9.2 as sysNAND and my NAND 10.7 as emuNAND. Works like a charm now!

Thx for the reply! Late or not

Whats button is needed to be held down to boot into homebrew channel please, i thought it was holding down the R button which before loaded the boot file but that doesnt appear to work anymore?

That was with MenuHax, which shouldn't be used with A9LH (assuming you're using A9LH). You could use the .cia of HB Loader Launcher instead.

Ah ok, ill grab a cia file, thanks

You need to install pycrypto

 

[Flappyraccoon]

I know it's a small issue with all of the CFW variants out there but has anyone looked into the issue of the translated Beyond the Labyrinth not displaying names properly from cia?

I did it Right from C:\ aswell same thing
doing git clone --recursive https://github.com/AuroraWright/AuReiNand.git gives out another error

Go here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/noob-proof-guide-to-compile-rxtools-source.392242/ and do steps 1,2,3 and 5. I'm nto sure about python, but it doesn't hurt to have version 2.7.11 installed on your PC. Afterwards, go to AuReiNand GitHub and download armips and bin2c. Paste those two inside " C:\devkitPro\devkitARM\bin\ ". Make sure this PC location is in your PATH.

This is how my PATH looks like:

Also, make sure to install Visual Studio 2015 x86 shit stuff - it's a small file.

Edit: I might create a guide tomorrow. It seems you guys want to build the CFW yourself.

She also has a no screen-init version here: https://github.com/AuroraWright/arm9loaderhax/tree/noscreeninit

EDIT:
Get your payload_stage1.bin, payload_stage2.bin with this
Then follow http://gbatemp.net/threads/safea9lhinstaller.419577/

Don't I need screen init in order to launch D9 or other things? Thats the only reason I'm bothering with any of that I just want to be able to launch uncart or D9 without having the screen flash

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

That's not how arm9select works.

If you want backlight you create an empty file named default_bl (no extension), if you're using windows open notepad, save the file and type default_bl. (notice nothing after period, and change file types to all files) [place the empty file in same folder as default.bin]
Leave default.bin as is.

Also the firmware.bin should be in the root of AuRei, not payloads.
You also don't need AuReiNAND.dat if you're using A9LH, just the arm9loaderhax.bin from AuRei as you have it in arm9select

Ah i see, I was mistaken with that then, either way, AuRei isn't working properly whether i use arm9select or whether i leave it in the root directory as normal, I'm guessing there is some sort of compatibility issue and as I've said before, it might have something to do with merging the files in 3.12 into the executable file. I'm just reporting this bug and hoping that maybe aurora will be kind enough to look into this and possibly fix it for 3.15 or something
