Which path would you like ShadowNAND and SaltFW to have?

@Shadowhand are you actually working at this project? Didn't saw a release for a while and was curious.
Btw: Great work :)
Here's your answer:

I'm still working on it, but the main waiting point is the paths. There's no pattern or a decided-path right now, and I don't want to change it a fourth time. So I'm waiting before anything is decided.

Using ShadowNAND Installer 1.2, I installed ShadowNAND 0.85, and while it can successfully load /homebrew/3ds/boot.bin and /homebrew/3ds/bootmgr.bin, I can't get it to run without the SD card; it hangs on a black screen with the power light on. If I hold "down" without the SD card, I get the "Couldn't find the payload" message, but that's the only thing I can get it to do without the SD.

I am trying it on an original old 3DS with sysnand 11.0.0-33U, with a hard mod.

Any ideas as to what could be causing this, or how to fix it?

[Edit] I'm about to try it out on my New 3DS (which doesn't have a hard mod), since even without booting without an SD, it appears to be stable enough for normal use. Good work!

[Edit 2] I fixed the issue on my Old 3DS by downgrading the NATIVE_FIRM to 10.4, linked to in the Luma 3DS wiki, like someone else did earlier in this thread. Perhaps this should be added as a FAQ?

It worked on my New 3DS without any hassle. I don't know if I did anything special with its NATIVE_FIRM.

That is weird. I'm using 11.0 NFIRM and it works just fine. Was your device downgraded with Gateway ever before?

I got it working perfectly with two 2DSes with 11.0 native firm, one of which uses rxTool's FBI inject, and on a new 3DS. What version of arm9loaderhax did you upgrade from? Mine came from 2.x.

It was, but I restored a NAND backup since then, so I think that's a net "no".

It was A9LH 2 no screen init, and I don't remember which specific fork/version. I would doubt this is the issue since ShadowNand Installer should have overwritten it, and since it was the same version I was using on my New 3DS. I think that weirdness with the system itself is more likely.
 
Just waiting for it to become better then I'll get it, rn not sure if my AGB_Firm patched GBA games would work and I ain't taking the headache xD
 
It might work if you patched it with a CIA.
AGB_Firm patched GBA games are GBA games that patched then made into a CIA format, even after using the AGB_firm patch CIA you need a CFW capable of using it, I had a patched AGB_firm and reinand or Luma3DS couldn't run them , just a black screen, but after using Alex's Luma3DS nightlies it started working.
