Homebrew SigHax Updates and Discussion Thread

[TheCyberQuake]

They are different things. https://gbatemp.net/threads/sighax-updates-and-discussion-thread.454821/page-143#post-7321455

Yes I know they are different, I never said they weren't. I'm just saying everyone using the term sighax at this point essential mean the derrek release stuff, and when saying boot9strap they mean the community tools for sighax as a whole.
I'm more annoyed with the repeated corrections made by the same people constantly in this thread. After a certain point it just starts to add more replies to an already large thread that just aren't needed.

I'll wait then, but if acekard is more likely to work, I think I'll rush to buy it, do you have or had one? Anyways, I think a DS flashcard would be great to play again those amazing DS games.

I have one. It's my favorite out of all the ones I've had.

I accidentally didn't quote the person above you, who I was talking to and not you. I blame my router which is having a heart attack right now.

Not a problem

@Plailect Hey Plailect! Great guide! May I ask you something please? I have a bricked N3DS (my issue is here https://github.com/Plailect/sysDowngrader/issues/18 ) do you know if it is possible to recover it with Hardmod + Sighax? It's on a franken state between 11.0 and 9.2. Also, do you know something about NTRBootHax? Thanks in advance

does corbenik have support for B9S yet?

Remember that Plailect just puts together the info, he doesn't create all the tools.

Using a hardmod would require that you know what is in your FIRM partitions (11.0 or 9.2 FIRM). You could try both using https://3ds.guide/installing-boot9strap-(hardmod). NTRBootHax (or whatever it ends up being called) would also work, and wouldn't even require you to know the contents of the firm partitions because you could decrypt them.

I'm still in the loop and know stuff

Ima just wait until I actually absolutely need sighax before i switch from a9lh

It literally takes 5-10 minutes to update at the most

well the next time I decide to open my 3ds if I feel like it(or the community harasses me enough), I might

Why would anyone not upgrade from A9LH to B9S? It's a very simple and quick process, and then you are ready for any future projects and updates that will only exist on b9s

the same reason why I stayed on RxTools for so long. Not necessary for me at the time.

Yeah, and you know what happened when people held onto rxtools for so long? Things started to break and then a myriad of threads started poping up with people having issues asking for fixes. Not saying you specifically did that, but it's that kind of mentality by a mass amount of people that causes that type of chaos.

In that moment, your guide used DSiWareHax to donwgrade the FIRM first, so I have to try with 11.0, 10.7 and 9.2 FIRM right? To sum up, I extract the corrupted NAND, run the B9S installer 3 times with the 3 firms and flash them until it works right? If it doesn't work it will just not boot?

can you name something that "broke"? Everything I had an issue with was because I didn't install something properly, or something with one of those special games using special memory mode. (not smash)

Also, menuhax didn't cause any issues for me since i almost never turned my 3ds off.

Wha? You know stuff? I thought you went in to the future and updated the guide with boot9strap as soon as @SciresM released it. Blasphemy! My cannon is all a lie! /s

How did you discover my secret?

I wouldn't say it was @Normmatt but it was probably Normmatt.

iirc 11.4 completely broke rxtools for good. So everyone still using rxtools started posting threads about being unable to boot emuNAND and "Please help I think I bricked emuNAND"
Even though the community has been saying for months that rxTools was a dead project and a firmware update could easily wreck rxTools.
So many threads where the end result was just "Upgrade to a recent CFW like luma"
And now with luma also dropping a9lh/menuhax support, those who still use menuhax and a9lh will eventually see a day where luma stops working for them as well and will be forced to go the B9S route.

well 11.4 was a definite end to it, but thats not an issue i was talking about. Once I find an update that doesn't work for A9LH, then I will switch.
