Noob Question: If Aureinand releases a new update, and I'm currently @ 3.14, how am I supposed to "update" the Aureinand CFW?
What Files need to be replaced, and so on?

Copy firmware.bin and firmware90.bin as well as any payload that can be found in your SDcard\aurei\payloads. Afterwards, paste those files in the NEW version. Then delete the OLD aurei folder as well as the OLD arm9loaderhax.bin(or AuReiNand.dat)(which is at the root of your SDcard) and paste the NEW aurei folder and the NEW arm9loaderhax.bin(or the NEW AuReiNand.dat)

Thanks, thats it?
No need for installing A9LH again, or something like that?

Nope! A9LH is a one-time-installation. You cannot even remove it unless you restore a NAND.bin backup which DOESN'T have A9LH installed. You can update though A9LH when a new release of your A9LH fork is available using the SafeA9LH which is another story.

Now you make me curious.
Lets say Nintendo releases a new Update it right now - i install it, but the cfw fails or whatever, something went wrong, and I am still able to launch my Decrypt9 und Flash my 10.7 Backup on it which works like a charm?

This would be the case if the new update(eg 10.8+) offered a new NATIVE_FIRM. Then we would need to download a new firmware.bin. (And even if you update, you won't lose A9LH as AuReiNand protects FIRM0/FIRM1 where A9LH resides). I will summon the wizards @astronautlevel @Supster131 care to explain more on this matter?

so how do i go about updating airenand or does it really matter?

What "version" of bin2c do we need to compile this now? I tried using the one from devkitPSP and it doesn't use the same type of options. :S

0.8? She has it on her AuReiNand Git page https://github.com/AuroraWright/AuReiNand

or go directly here https://sourceforge.net/projects/bin2c/

Anyone confirm get if GBA games save is broken for users without 9.0 form on latest gihub pull?

I can confirm that with this commit I can't go back to the Home Menu from a GBA game (the console hangs). It works as expected with the commit reverted.

Thanks, got it. Now I have Yifan's loader/injector cxi loading dynamically instead of needing to be hard-coded into firmware.bin.

Waiting for cool stuff to happen. Shit, when I joined this community, it started raining hax. 10.3 downgrade, a9lh and now this. xD

No. However, you can patch the home menu to be region free. https://gbatemp.net/threads/patchin...me-menu-arm9loaderhax-or-emunand-only.419047/

If you don't want to patch it yourself, you can find one pre patched on that iso site. Look for a post by ihaveamac

has anyone tested if NTR still boots with the patched home menu and if it works with the spoofed version also. I think NTR checks the version so it *should* dump with the spoofed version, but hey, this is just a guess; An Educated Guess.
