Gonna take a look on all the issues you found.
Anyways, i hope anyone did not brick.
Also for the warnings, they should not be anything unsafe

@delebile lots of compiler warnings on your current tree. I'm not sure how safe it actually is. Unlike what the README.md says, "make hax" only builds the .pack. Opened 2 issues.

Can't seem to use BootAnim9 or FakeBrick9 after updating my A9LH

EDIT: Can't launch any payload it seems

EDIT 2: New A9LH can't launch CTRBM9. All old problems are resolved now

These problems are now fixed in the latest commits, take a look.

It fails on "Hacked Firm0" when trying to update. I have a N3DS, with the previous arm9loader installed.

I put the required files into data_input, I checked the hashes, they are good... The pack should be correct, I guess...
Any more infos for this?

@delebile

Doesn't explain what the 'big software update' is.

Compiling didn't work since pack tool's makefile is missing to create the folder common/pack_tool

The current needs the folder like this, or it won't work: arm9loaderhax\common\common\pack_tool

GCC or MinGW (Only needed to compile the buildt-in tool, you can download [a pre-compiled windows build here](https://mega.nz/#!j0RkxLjb!4Am-3yDAR9g4VDxY93pWhXVYNDiylSW1cKJntOLfDWU), place it in **common** folder)

The "big update" thing was that the previous work was prerry rushed up and confused, and i rewritten some parts in order to make them work in a cleaner and safer way, added the requested features that other forks added, and implemented a new way to install content.
So actually that's all, the main fork can be used again.

I'm getting the same issue he's getting on my jpn-n3ds.

Current installed a9lh: commit 91c4193 on Mar 8

Compiled the latest: commit dd9c3a5j with the same data_input dependency files (hashes match the readme) + otp.bin. Placed arm9loaderhax.pack onto my SD root. set ctrbootmanager9 to load /3ds/arm9loaderhax/arm9loaderhax.bin binary.

Here's the screen output:
Code:
Full Installation Pack
    [FAIL] Hacked Firm0
    [GOOD] Legit Firm1
    [GOOD] Hacked KeySector
    [GOOD] Secondary Payload
ERROR : 1 content files are corrupted!
ERROR : The instalation pack is corrupted!

Press A to exit...

Ok.. I have been resisting posting on this topic, mainly for the fear of the usual "read the readme" comments etc...

But in a nutshell would someone kindly mind explaining the benefit of this latest release please

Thank you in advance :)
