I'll update it to 2.7 when it's out if enough people report more than a few anecdotal successes with it compared to 2.5, and 2.1

(If I'm not busy with a9lh stuff lol)
I just hope 2.7 boots as good as 2.6. I stopped using lesshax because of how well 2.6 works.

Switched to hax 2.7, and I'm experiencing hicups already trying to boot Gateway. Failed twice in a row, then worked the third time.
Now I wish I can switch back to hax 2.6 somehow, which had a perfect streak when it comes to Gateway.

*hax 2.7 isn't officially out so you can easily replace the payload by re-installing or something.

Oh, a noteworthy note:
If you're lazy and don't feel like building your own lesshax payloads:

I found them on "that iso site", and they work just fine ~

So yeah
Figured I'd drop that bomb here and watch the explosion get directed at me
 
Probably not. But easier to use with original homebrew launcher without hex editing stuff and also doesn't have the glitches. Looks smoother
ah I see cause I'm using 2.6 payloads right now and it's been working fine and also no glitches on screen. what's the hex editing stuff you mean?

The hex "editing stuff" is about editing the payload so that it doesn't boot "boot.3dsx" but something else, so that all other homebrew methods can still use "boot.3dsx".

So instead of being booted to menuhax you get booted directly to the cfw/emunand?

If you use the original payloads and have CTRBootManager and want for example use Yellows8 cia homebrew launcher, you either need to edit your menuhax payload and have it load something different than boot.3dsx and then rename your ctrbootmanager to that (that is what the lesshax payload is doing, it loads less.3dsx) - then the HBL stays boot.3dsx and yellows8 launcher will work. Or you edit the payload of yellows8 launcher to load something else than boot.3dsx and then rename your HBL boot.3dsx to that different name.

But it's just more convenient to edit the menuhax payload, as this always stays on 9.0 or 9.2 or whatever your sysnand is on, while you always will have to edit yellows8 payload once your emunand is updated and you need a new payload.
