Hacking [Q]upgrading from a9lh to boot9strap- why and how?

[iAqua]

I have to admit i'm kind of a noob though, i previously installed cfw (arm9) succesfully and it worked great for months, i even did the system updates so i could keep playing online but i think i never updated luma... when they say luma won't support arm9 anymore, what does this mean? Will i still be able to play online even if they stop supporting luma?

yes you'll be completely fine, updating to b9s is not necessary and provides nothing over a9lh unless you're fucking with your nand ridiculously, stay where you are you're fine.

You don't have to update, but why not? It takes less than 10 minutes and you'll be able to use the latest Luma.

It takes close to zero effort.

You need it since the latest luma builds don't support a9lh anymore.When you stop updating your cfw it eventually stops supporting a working native firm,which is needed for running newer games and newer firmware versions.

well then he can update when that time comes, HE DOESN'T NEED TO UPDATE.

But he does if he wants to continue to be on the latest firmware.

He doesn't need to right now. Luma 7.0.5 (A9LH) works with 11.6.
