Hacking Switching to A9LH from GW

[Temptress Cerise]

And if I want to get rid of emunand? Can I use GW emunand instead of emunand_original to restore it to sysnand?

I am pretty sure I told you to do that, just make sure to do the (keep a9lh) option when restoring to sysnand.

Oh, yeah, you are right, sorry for me being ignorant, just I am doing this all day and my brain somehow does not work anymore.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your help.

People really overcomplicate this. You can have your A9LH SysNAND on 11.0. As long as you have 9.2 EmuNAND, you can still boot GW. This is what I do.

But regardless, the op wants to ditch GW.

Then again, I'm no gateway user. I don't overcomplicate anything, I just want to have a 9.2 sysnand.

There are many reasons for that. I have my own ones.
- A pretty good one is the reselling value of a vanilla 9.2 N3ds versus a 11.0 N3ds seeing the changelog. I won't sell my systems, still.
- Another one is having a 9.2 FIRM stored in sysnand's CTRNAND. Could come in handy, for several reasons.
- A decent one is the migration value. If you had a 9.2 sysnand and worked with menuhax and emunand, it's by far easier setup any emunand capable cfw to boot your "old" emunand with your game tickets and complying savedata/extdata right after A9LH install is complete.
- A point rised in other threads suggest the replaceability of an SD. Perhaps it's slower, but if it corrupts or breaks your sysnand is still fine. Arguably less writes/reads to real nand extend his life span.

I'm sure you also have a list of reasons why ditching emunand is a good move. It's fine. Your system, your rules.
There's not a real difference in setup schemas for grown ups.

Then again, you are right, we are kinda derailing the thread. Thanks.

Hey, so I finally managed to do it!
Right now I have my N3DS with A9LH and all my eshop content on sysnand! Thanks a lot, @Temptress Cerise @Urbanshadow @samiam144 @Sumea! Without you guys, I would't make it! Thank you!

I don't know exactly how I contributed but hey, glad it come out well. Enjoy your system. Remember to setup the uncart for a9lh (it's in Plailect's guide I think) to pass your owned carts to .3ds

Sounds like you have the NTR firmware.bin inside your Luma folder, I overlooked that at one point, and had a similar issue, removing it, fixed my issues of booting into GW Menu/Mode from an A9LH Luma3DS 9.2 sysNAND.

Edit: thank Temptress Cerise, yes you are right and my test confirms it, by removing /luma/firmware.bin (after successful installation of a9lh) the GW menu/mode can also be accessed thru hbl on a9lh installed 9.2 sysnand, apart from 9.2 emunand.

Can i also enter GW menu thru hbl on a9lh installed 9.2 sysnand, if i place firm90.bin in /luma/ instead?
Or, need to rename the file there to firmware. bin then?
