Why would you want to stay with RxTools though. Luma is better from what I have seen.

I actually looked for several hours and couldn't find it. Now that was a few months back. Even then, if it doesn't have FIRM0/1 protection and run NATIVE_FIRM 11.0, it's still useless and people shouldn't use it.
No one should be using RXTools anymore, there's no reason nor excuse to keep using it
If people are still using those CFW's then they seriously need to upgrade. But I almost never see a thread made about them, so it's safe to assume the userbase is either completely fizzled out or super quiet.

Personally I know an user that has been using pasta cfw until last week, luckily I have "converted" him to A9LH+Luma
I use RXTools and have been since last year. No problems for me. I actually think it's more convenient. My step son's 2DS uses Luma and I'm ALWAYS having to upgrade the Luma build in order for it to work with certain games and apps. But with my RXTools 3dsxl, I've never had to update anything other than the emunand's firmware. Some people don't need to use Luma, why are you so passionate about people changing over? Who cares?
Edit: I looked back at your original post and you make 0 good points to switch over. Because RXTools is "dead" and "unstable"? How so?

I find that you are "always updating" to be a bit of a lie there. My boyfriends are both running Luma3DS on their CTRNAND and I never have to upgrade to get games to works. As well I never had to upgrade to get it to work on the latest sysNAND. So I am just going to say that you are flat lying.
People don't need to just use Luma3DS, there's other CFWs that they can switch to. Why am I trying to get people to update? Because more and more games are coming out with a NATIVE_FIRM requirement, such as the cartage version of Pokemon Sun/Moon and Animal Crossing update. The CFW is becoming more and more out of date and it won't be long before Nintendo finally adds a NATIVE_FIRM requirement to the Homemenu, locking RXTools users out.
I gave 0 points? You mean outside of the fact that the CFW is completely dead and unstable, mixed with the fact that you aren't even using RXTools. I made a some pretty good points, you are just choosing to ignore them.
The better question is, why do you want to continue using a dead CFW that is slowly loosing support for new games? And why do you feel the need to lie?

Well shit, looks like I was wrong. But does it have FIRM0/1 protection and support for NATIVE_FIRM past 9.5?
It's like a reminder that RXTools will always be out of date and not worth it.
IIRC, rxTools wasn't the first to support a9lh, it actually was the last of all scene CFW's.
At least judging by dates of commits it certainly wasn't the first one.
Here's arm9loaderhax branch of rxTools: https://github.com/roxas75/rxTools/commits/arm9loaderhax
And here are commits for a9lh support for other CFW's: ReiNand, AuReiNand (Luma), CakesFW.
So, it looks like rxTools didn't have that advantage either. ¯\(ツ)/¯
It was the first in private.
There seems to have been some branches that happened later, but they aren't the private one.
Are there any other sources to prove that they had working version even before ReiNand?
This video was uploaded after more than a week since ReiNand's a9lh commit.
I'm just curious about this. I actually thought that Cakes was the first to support a9lh in private.
Actually looking deeper into it, I can't find any of the posts related to this anymore. So chances are they were just claims, then deleted once nothing came of it.
These claims were made shortly after A9LH was made public, but I can't find them anymore. So I guess they were just claims and nothing more.
That's funny, because you actually commented in this thread where outdated Luma was the cause of not being to play online: http://gbatemp.net/threads/to-play-or-use-online-you-must-need-11-0-0-3-now.427164
There's another time where I can think of outdate Luma causing an issue, but can't remember exactly what it was. Never had to update RXTools since I got it a year ago.
You do realize that updating Luma involves replacing a single file, right?
Yeah, one time its friends module patch didn't work on an updated version of it, and it was swiftly fixed. If you are online to update or play online, it takes 10 seconds to update Luma. It's not a big deal.
If something breaks with rxTools, you get to find a new CFW because it is not getting updated.

Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version? -
@
Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

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:
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:
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

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:
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 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)
