[Release] OCS - Go straight from stock to luma (9.0.0 - 11.3.0)

This looks like the best solution for 3DS hacking n00bs out there.
Well done sir.

 

This just makes me reflect on how damn long it took to install A9LH back in the day. Awesome job there, we've come a long way in 3DS hacking.

 

Just out of curiosity, lets say you are on 5.0 or something, and you cart update to 11.2 would this work? or would it not because cart updates are not full updates?

 

I've been waiting for someone to make a tool like this since the start of A9LH. A tool that would cut the process into several steps that you just run on the 3DS and it does all the work for you. And this tool fits that bill perfectly.
As long as it's kept up to date with the latest versions of stuff, this is pretty awesome.

 

I remember reading soundhax doesnt work with cart updates

 

I'm not 100% sure. Soundhax has a minimum version of the sound app it will work with, and the sound app isn't updated from cart updates. But I'm not sure what that minimum version is and Google isn't being helpful.

 

That is true. Browserhax still works on 11.2 no?
Edit: Nope, that's when it was patched.
Getting a ntrboot flashcart is probably cheaper than one of the primary exploit games.

 

OFW 11.2 Master Race

 

Yes, but they all require buying an exploit game.
Like I said, a ntrboot flashcart is probably cheaper.

 

Suggestion:
unbricking + luma using ntrboothax compatible one.

 

Not a complaint about this process, very excited for this!

But what's the point of selecting "Show NAND or Userstring in system settings", if you know for a fact that you have B9S installed. Once you get B9S installed, your 3DS will only boot up if you're running a .firm payload so you know for sure that you're running CFW. It's especially obsolete since users aren't using emuNAND so there's no reason to differentiate the system settings Ver string. Once you're in the Luma config, you know for a fact that you have B9S and don't need any further confirmation than that. The change from "Ver. to Sys." doesn't mean anything for sysNAND users. At a day and age where you can unbrick any 3DS with the magnet method, emuNAND is worthless unless you're just trying to bypass the 300 title limit you dirty pirate!

I honestly think ticking the splash option is much more useful and adds a nice touch (Don't tell me that it takes longer to boot with a splash, you'd have to be the most impatient person in the world). And enabling the splash option doesn't mean that your 3DS will automatically display a splash, you have to manually add the splash files to your SD card. I wonder why this option isn't enabled by default, or why the guide doesn't mention anything about it yet it provides a theme manager which is another optional added touch. To me a splash is just as awesome as a custom theme and it's one of the best parts of 3DS hacks.

Other than that you can just hit start without ticking anything. I guess one could argue that it doesnt take long to tick in the Show nand or user string option. But at the same time it doesn't really do anything relevant. This is no longer the days where you had to be absolutely sure that you could update based on the user string. If this is such an important feature to the officials, why not just have it enabled by default then.

@Aurora Wright What do you think about this opinion, am I just being silly? : p

 

X3 I had an idea like this a long time ago. Never percued it because it would have had too many moving parts. This makes sense now that we are at a point where we can easily install everything with a few softwares.

 

@MattKimura, you do know that you can set a custom version string, right?

 

Went ahead and did it. Installed cfw fine and ticked the option of enabling emunand on boot. But for some reason it's booting straight to sysNand (says Sys on the home menu fw). Second time you launch soundhax it gave me errors on the last 2 things per install and launched the homebrew launcher. Home menu doesn't have anything installed and sound hax now boots straight to homebrew launcher.

I tried booting the 3ds and pressing L or R and neither launches Emunand. I'm a bit out of the loop but emunand, at least for now is less stressful for me.
