Full Guide Release!

https://plailect.github.io/OTP/

All regions now supported!

If you appreciate this guide and the work I put into maintaining it, I accept donations through both Bitcoin and PayPal.

If you felt like the guide helped you out then I'd really appreciate it! If I get enough I may buy a 2DS for testing hardware stuff so I don't break another N3DS.

If the guide didn't help you out then I'm really sorry about that

Good luck with the install.

There's anything to fiddle with my 2ds yet, is it?

AuReiNAND, CakesFW.

AuReiNAND, CakesFW.

Cakes has OTP support already?! Men, sleeping is bad for keeping up with the scene! Time to compile a9lh then *sigh*. And a9lhcakes must be compiled too...

Not sure if there are any builds floating around on the forum though.

Got it and worked! Don't forget to put arm9haxloader.bin on your root of sd card after installed hax. if you forgot this your 3ds will not boot. you can't turn on your 3ds.

Video by me!

Still have to account for the config, of course.

This seems like way to much work to fix something that isn't broken for me

Well apparently it may be required for CFW/emunand in the future depending on how quickly CFW developers switch over to it. I would argue that being able to update to the latest firmware in emunand will be worth it. Apparently it is far superior to current methods of booting CFW, or at least it will be once it is more mature.

Though I haven't bothered to do it yet though I know eventually I will need to bite the bullet and do so.

It's arguably already superior with faster boot rates (for some of us it's as low as 8 seconds to boot emuNAND, not really any slower than sysNAND would ever take), no boot failures, and super stable 3D working out of the box.

It's only really lacking a boot menu to pick what you want to do, but CFWs like AuReiNand are working around that with button combos to boot sysNAND or emuNAND with different settings. I would guess within a month or two at the latest, we'll probably have boot managers ported over to it for a simpler time.

I think that almost all CFW developers are on it: rxTools, reiNAND (Rei already did a payload for a9lh), CakesFW (MassExplosion213 did the fork for a9lh)

 

[daxtsu]

rxTools

Is there a fork I'm not aware of that has A9LH support? Just curious.

Nope, not yet. I just know that some of the Pasta team developers are working on it. I don't really know for it. I just know it's being worked on

SOON™. Back on topic though, it's good to hear that they're all working on it.

 

[20mark]

wonder if also GW will provide support for A9LH..

 

[Mrrraou]

hahahahahaha no.

 

[daxtsu]

As SOON™ as they get through their backlog of a million other things to do, and probably only if they can come up with an even easier solution than the one we've got now.

 

[Nikolay]

When I go to dump CTRNAND Padgen 0x4, it dumps it as nand.fat16.xorpad and not nand.fat16.0x4.xorpad ? Can I simply rename it?

 

[Monado_III]

Absolutely. Seeing as this method is considerably risky as of now because it directly messes with sysnand quite a bit it's actually recommended to have one, in fact.

but would there be any added benefit (other than emuNAND boot speed) for an o3DS?
