I have dumped my OTP files already, and restored my previous enviroment (O3DS : sysNAND 9.2 + menuHax + CTRBootMgr; emuNAND 10.6 w/ rxTools 3.0).

Since I lack many concepts yet regarding this scene, I was thinking if something like this would work:

- install arm9haxloader to sysNAND 9.2;
- install CTRBootMgr9 with cakes/emunandtools/decrypt9WIP;
- disable all cakes patches, so it would load a somewhat 'vanilla' sysNAND through a9hl;
- menuHax triggers and boot my rxTools emunand.

I just want to keep my current working environment, and adding the a9h layer to it, until I can play with the other CFW like cakes.
If this not works, why? Can't we make a9h just boot a 'regular' sysNAND?

I'm pretty sure that would just remove the benefit of a9l. If it would even work. You would be back to failed boots

If you want to keep your current setup, do you mean, boot into emunand with all your installed stuff?
Wel, you can boot into A9LH straight into your current emunand or you can use CTRBootManager9 to boot into a menu and select your A9LH CFW's (AuReiNAND / ReiNAND / CakesFW / rxTools CFW)

I see, looks like I'm just getting things more complicated.
I was thinking of Cakes as a regular a9l, to just boot off my sysNAND as is, so menuHax would do the magic, but looks like the magic is indeed the CTRBootMgr9.

excuse me.I still dont get it.can i use just 1 emunand for both rxtool and cakesfw(Just copy all the files to the root of SD card, and launch? ) or i have to make new emunand for cakesfw ?

I've actually ran 3 CFW's on my 3DS at one point (CakesFW, RXTools, and AuReiNAND.) I had no ill effects on my emuNAND
In fact, I am running both CakesFW and AuReiNAND on my sysNAND using CTRBootManager9 and A9LH.

I'm having a little problem switching to Cakes. Right now I'm running AuReiNand with a9lh and everything is fine if I point my boot_config.ini at the AuReiNand.bin file. When I change it over to Cakes it stops booting and I am even unable to enter sysnand by holding L. The cakes launcher loads my emunand if I launch it from the homebrew loader on sysnand. Any ideas? Thanks.

What file are you point to for cakes in your boot config?

Cakes.dat. I was loosely following Plailect's guide.

Do you have an offset set for it? Also if you look a few pages back you will find a post from me. It has the arm9 bin for v138 of cakes so you don't need an offset

That did it, thanks. Didn't know about needing an offset. Now to set up a second different region emunand.

Ya if you use the old dat files you need the offset. With the bin files you don't.

I was looking for a .bin but couldn't find it in the zip from the github
