Follow the updating arm9 guide but use the screeninit choice from here

Yes that's the one I used lol

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

Did you check your animations before you created them? Did it work before creating them?

 

[xtheman]

Yes that's the one I used lol

You renamed you custom firmware's payload to "arm9payload.bin" and put it in /anim? And you have the arm9loaderhax.bin from here on the root of your sd card?

Yup

 

[xtheman]

Yup

Did you compile the latest arm9? If so rename arm9loaderhax.bin (the bootanim9 payload) to arm9loaderhax_si.bin

Hmmmm now that's something I haven't tried lol

The latest arm9 merged screeninit and no screeninit together so screeninit can be turn on by adding _si to the arm9loaderhax.bin

Is this the latest https://github.com/AuroraWright/arm9loaderhax/releases/tag/19/06 ?

That is the latest stable. I meant compiling it yourself.

Alright as much as I love the screen init vs no screen init duality in here, please take this somewhere else. At this point I'm seriously considering creating another thread for the new version, something I wanted to avoid.
However, seeing how there's entire pages dedicated to troubleshooting lack of si and/or instructions on installing si stage2, I guess. I'll have to make a new one with updated instructions and consider this thread outdated, which is a terrible waste of space if you ask me but w/e.
tl;dr read the guide and figure out how to install screen init on your own.
Once the repo is open I'll ask a mod to close this thread.

Ok how would I go about that?

 

[VincentBeasley]

Ok after all that I finally got it working lol. y new question is: Why is the quality so low? Is there a way to increase the frame rate of the animations?

I'm getting an error when I run the makeanim script on my Mac.

rm: output.bin: No such file or directory

The stuff before that works fine (ask for filename, framerate, animated or not, and compressed or not).

is it still outputting the anim file? On linux it usually ignores the error and continues. Otherwise you're giving me an excuse to reboot into my osx partition

It does output a file named "anim".

You can ignore the error then, its just telling you that the file it was trying to clean up didnt exist when the command executed

OK. Thanks!

I put the stuff on my SD card, and my 3DS turns on, but is stuck at a black screen. Any ideas?
