Homebrew SigHax Updates and Discussion Thread

[Starboy]

So I updated from A9LH to Boot9Strap, but there are still a lot of files left over. I deleted the ones in the guide that I could but how can I know what else can or cannot be deleted?
As in I don't know which files before the transfer I still need to keep such as .bin files.

Did my 3ds last night, and now it's time to upgrade all my family and friends consoles.

i have bootstrap9 atm what can i do with it :l

 

[Arubaro]

If I restore a stock firmware Nand back up or a A9LH nand back up will it replace boot9strap with stock firmware/A9LH?

I would say you preserve a9lh/b9 if you use the latest godmode9 release

 

[easycrashing]

I upgraded my a9lh to boot9strap via 3ds.guide and made a nand backup that I'll keep on 2 HDDs, is this something that could get removed for copyright on dropbox?

anything else i should keep a backup of? i still have my otp.bin backup from doing the guide years ago, plus a bunch of other files that it had me keep a backup of during the guide at that time.

do i still need all these? (attached)

rip BootAnim9 until it gets fixed

What does this mean? What's wrong w with it?

BootAnim9 used A9LH, now that we use SigHax which uses a boot.firm, we need a new way to load animations.

Can you link me to a download for bootanim9 that isn't broken. I want to try to see if converting to .firm works or if it needs to actually be updated. If it does work from a simple conversion I will upload the .firm version for you.

Here's the one I used (should be the latest one).

How would I start this with an Rxtools emunand? I don't want to brick.

I have been waiting for the time my profile pic was relevent again.

Yeah it doesn't work. My guess is because it's both because it tries to boot arm9payload.bin (which afaik isn't possible anymore due to incompatibility with b9s) and we don't even see an animation because it relies on a9lh to initialize the screen, unlike other a9lh stuff we have that can initialize the screen itself without the help of a9lh (hence being forced to use arm9loaderhax_si.bin).
Edit: A fix for those problems should be fairly simple afaik. Just make it initialize the screen and instead load a .firm file instead of a .bin file

Sighax master race?
Where is Marg*n** saying a9lh is better?

 

[anhminh]

So how can I change from a9lh to sighax?

https://3ds.guide/updating-to-boot9strap there you go

I guess this update calls for an update to my obligatory console list. Which made me realize I had a few things there that needed to be updated

I have a problem. I can't dump boot9.bin, boot11.bin and otp.bin, like the guide says. I've tried holding down start + select + X upon boot and nothing happens. I checked the boot9strap folder and nothing is there except for boot9strap.firm, boot9strap.firm.sha and secret_selector.bin.

Is there any way I can do this? I'm using a New 3DS, btw. If it's not working for anyone else, then I guess it's only New 3DS systems that are affected.

What can I do? @Plailect
