Simply love this update, I always had to open NTR to enable the CPU speed-up for older games but with this there really is no need for that :D
The only option that I would like to see in the future is taking screenshots and I can rest in peace

I moved all the information to a dedicated GitHub Wiki. Since a common complaint is the lack of documentation, I'd like you to read all of it and tell me if something is unclear or could be explained better (and how).
"But I don't want to read the instructions. Just tell me how to use it." Says every confused person that doesn't realize they still have to read either way. Lol

It seems like only yesterday when Aureinand became a thing. Well here, today, it became THE thing. Keep up the amazing work!

It's pretty good. I feel stupid when I try to comprehend "Use SysNAND FIRM as default (A9LH-only)" though. I still don't know if I need that option or not since it works with and without.

You can have a 9.6 firm file and use a 10.7 firm if you have that option on.

I really spent a lot of time trying this out and I have to say, the usage has become a lot more complicated but also more powerful which is fine I guess.

But if someone likes to still use menuhax in combination with the bootmanagers option to shut it down, it won't work as libkhax isn't possible anymore.
Also rxTools doesn't boot because of this reason.
I replaced the ntr firmware.bin with the N3DS 9.0 firmware from AuReiNand until 4.2 and this restores the previous behaviour until the point of games from sysNAND that reboot the N3DS which results in an error message.
I think NTR is a great way to enhance the game experience and helps people to translate games etc. but I would appreciate it, if you could make booting the 9.0 firm again more accessible and I find the wiki entry to "Use SysNAND FIRM as default (A9LH-only)" a bit confusing because of this fact as I thought it would use the firm installed on sysNAND which can't be as libkhax isn't working.

I still have a sysNAND with 9.0 installed if you didn't understand that.
CFWs and other programms that depend on exploits until 9.2 aren't working anymore with any configuration made in AuReiNand, the usage of the NTR firmware.bin is also not working to make this exploits work.

If this does come, please have it as an option in startup options to disable, don't want useless screenshots to be generated because of a street fighter move.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
