Hacking Please stop using RXTools

WTF, how did you get that menu?
Seems really useful to boot everything. This sure doesn't seem like HBC at all.

EDIT: On topic: I would boot up rxTools after creating an emuNAND just to check if emuNAND works, I mean, rxTools shows RX-E [version number] Which RX-E Tells that you're on emuNAND. Where RX-S tells you're on sysNAND.
Luma doesn't show that, so atleast rxTools is useful for checking ^^

Luma3DS shows that too, Emu for emunand, and Sys for sysnand.

Huh, Luma DOES show that. Sys [version number] or Emu [version number].

the only way A9LH Sys nand bricking is more dangerous than an emunand brick /potentially a 9.2 Sysnand brick is you Hose FIRM0/FIRM1 (which is where A9LH is, as long these remain intact or there arent bad blocks in teh NAND [which shouldnt be happening yet even on teh first run of 3DS's, you can always Restore a Backup by booting Decrypt9, as A9LH boots so early in the Chain of trust well before anything to the Home menu can.)

that is the biggest Reason A9LH -> Menuhax for loading CFW, its not necessary to HAVETO go A9LH as even luma has FIRM protection (but its not infallible)

Hell, if you don't trust FIRM protection, you can still use an EmuNAND with A9LH, it'll be faster and still have a 100% bootrate. It's still a better option than using an older entrypoint.

Nope. It just say Ver. 11.2.0-35E. I have a PAL 3DS, so yeah.
It doesn't say emu or Sys. 100% sure.

Your region isn't an issue here, so it's definitely not that.
Unless you're using the custom string feature, the format will be the default ones, the one i mentioned before.

You have to choose the option in settings.... Also, it's not a PAL 3DS, it is an EUR 3DS.

he probably doesn't have the option ticked in settings.

It's been a while since i last fiddling with the config screen, so yeah, that option just slipped from my mind. That must be the cause.

Yeah, sometimes I write PAL, sometimes EUR... Idk lol.
Thanks, now it works!
RIP rxTools fully now! Muhahaha!

Ctr is still a nice way to boot your emunand I think. It succed 95℅ of time on my o3DS. After trying more, my system seems them same than with RxTools ... Maybe more secured but no difference are noticable. Game play the same.

Maybe one day in futur I will go for a9hl but I think even with that I will keep on emunand because we dunno what can happened in futur maybe one day Nintendo will make an update that will prevent us to boot our cfw. In emunand you just have to restore np. In sysnand it can become à little harder if they really want to **** us

Actually, if your SysNAND stops booting, you can just restore a NAND backup from H9 or D9WIP if you have A9LH. Also, A9LH EmuNAND still has a better bootrate and faster bootspeed than menuhax.

emunand is 100% and you dont even need a nand backup if you somehow brick sysnand, just a valid ctrnand. Although you may lose data from it...

I've said this before, but Nintendo could easily push an update that checks the SD for an EmuNAND partition and prevent the system from booting it. So long as you're not a moron SysNAND is perfectly safe.

 

[chocoboss]

But if you restore your nand to the older version you will not have problem anymore until Fix come out

Actually, that's not really possible. An update like that would easily risk bricking non-hacked systems.
They can however push out an update the requires the Home menu to need an updated NATIVE_FIRM, which would break CFWs. Active ones will easily update, but RXTools will be broken forever.

How would an update that checks for EmuNAND break non-hacked systems?

It's easy to check if something is an EmuNAND/RedNAND reliably, just check for the NAND magic header.

How so? All the system would have to do is check the SD for said partition by checking its MBR, and if it exists prevent the system from booting that partition (or prevent the entire system from booting). The system itself wouldn't be bricked.

That statement was more speculation than anything. But it does seem like something that could easily go wrong.

Doubt they'd do that.

Doubt they'd do that.

I do too considering that their focus is being directed towards a new console, but it is still very much possible.

I'm very surprised that they didn't kill support for older FIRMs, tbh. rxTools would die, and hardmod/DSiWareHax downgrades would die.

Home menu to use new nativ_firm will probably never happened, ppl tell this will happened since 10.5 but this as never happened and will probably never.

Even if this happened we will be able to flash old home menu to keep working
