So what's the thing with arm9loaderhax.bin and arm9loaderhax_si.bin? (i know it's no screen init and screen init)

I used latest github versions and don't have an arm9loaderhax_si.bin how do i switch? i only have arm9loaderhax.bin (compiled from safea9lhinstaller) and payload_stage1.bin and payload_stage2.bin (compiled from your armloaderhax fork) (and yes i know i need firm0 etc... but those i have)
Do i need a switch to compile the the _si.bin version?

You just have to rename the existing arm9loaderhax.bin to arm9loaderhax_si.bin. Thats it, its both in one file, and to swith you have to rename the file, and not replace it.

So this new v2 is needed for 'future compatibility' people are saying.
What does that mean exactly? Will there be .bin payloads in the future that will only run on v2?

v2 gives more space for larger payload_stage2.bin. This doesn't affect the arm9loaderhax.bin. But what can be done now is to have a very small CFW installed directly to NAND, which can now allow a A9LH 3ds to run without an SD card. Mostly as a "just in case" measure.

It's just as filename change for the payload you want to use... Name it arm9loaderhax.bin and it will launch it without screen init, add _si and it will screeninit it.
TL;DR Nothing to do with arm9loaderhax installer

I have a 2DS with sysNAND 9.2 and Gateway emuNAND 10.7. I use MenuHax to load Homebrew Launcher and I'm quite happy with it, but I'm interested in the A9LH. Will this allow me to install A9LH automatically without following Plailect's guide?

Nope, safeA9LHinstaller is actually used during Plailect guide after you downgrade your console to 2.1

Short answer is "NO". Long answer is "NO...BUT you can actually use Luma3DS payload chain with Gateway A9LH payload thx to @Hayleia. Just keep in mind that while using GW card your SysNAND is NOT PROTECTED so NEVER allow updates in that case !!"

 

[Space_Goddess_Samus_Aran]

a homebrew app for the gateway cheats would be good. (the only reason why i am using my gw card)

Can you get a picture of both the root of your SD as well as the luma/payloads folder of your SD?
It won't boot until you restore a firmware that isn't 2.1 because no CFW currently can boot 2.1 firmware, so it's essentially a temporary softbrick, which is normal when following the guide.
Once you post pictures I can help determine what your problem is. My guess is missing payloads or they aren't named properly. Because if you made it to that step, you got past the part where you are able to hold select to change Luma settings, meaning A9LH is installed successfully.

Can you please update cakebrah submodule in your source for SafeA9LHinstaller? It won't compile under latest ctrulib because of outdated libkhax (which is a part of cakebrah)

Thanks!

Unless you have a particular reason for needing cakebrah as an entrypoint, you can compile it only for a9lh or 2xrsa using

make a9lh

or

make 2xrsa

Point was to be able to get a complete compile without errors, that's all

If you follow the Plailect guide, you are using Luma and can hold start while booting (hold it before pushing power) and you will go into Hourglass9. Or hold Select which will show the Luma settings

5. Ensure NANDmin.bin and NANDmin.bin.sha are in the /files9/ folder on your SD card

i don't have NANDmin.bin and NANDmin.bin.sha because i didn't follow any of the steps.
