Yep

hold select when booting to load luma3ds config. Disable Autoboot sysnand and save.

So if I enable "use sysNand firm when holding L" I press L and it goes to sysnand?

No, when you load emunand, it loads the emunand NATIVE_FIRM. turning that option on and then holding L when loading emunand will cause the emunand to boot with the sysnand's NATIVE_FIRM. But it still loads the emunand.

Oh. So I just have to change settings when I want to go back to sysnand?

to go back to sysnand. Just hold select when booting, turn back on Autoboot sysnand, and save

Say, if this is patched in 12.0 or whatever, could we still use a DSi downgrade/hardmod to go back to 11.2's n_firm, the same way we used to go back to 10.4 n_firm?

Ah ok thanks

they would have to update safe_mode firm. so changing native_firm from 12.0 would not do anything. you would still need to downgrade native_firm to 10.4 to downgrade, which involves dsiware. That is only if 12.0 doesn't require native_firm to be the newest.

Can we revert the safe mode n_firm in the same way, then?

 

[Natboy]

Trying this now.. how long does waithax actually take? ~60 minutes or more?

 

[Aletron9000]

the native_firm uses a plaintext exploit. I don't know if safe_mode is kept the same way so it can be exploited the same.

1 hour for o3ds, 20 min for n3ds

 

[Kyubnyan]

well at least it doesn't brick when it fails.

 

[Xiphiidae]

1 hour for o3ds, 20 min for n3ds

Realistically it ends up being 68 minutes for N3DS as well, most of the time.

 

[dkabot]

Yeah, I'd say this is safer to try than the current DSiWare method since nothing gets touched until it works.

 

[shchmue]

yeah it's 23m if you get n3ds speed or 68-69m for o3ds speed

 

[Eastonator12]

Yeah

Waithax isn't the problem, and this makes what you are thinking of completely irrelevant.

Waithax is an ARM11 exploit, which traditionally we used to inject a DSiWare save to switch our NFIRM.
This is an ARM9 exploit, which has waithax built in (this exploit needs ARM11 to work) and lets you do what we typically needed 9.2 for.

If you're on 11.0/1 and want to try it, you can use a Decrypt9WIP .bin as the arm9.bin and if it works you can already go on.
...of course, you'd be in uncharted waters while trying it.

huh, neat, thanks

just finished 2nd attempt, same glitch screen

I missed it previously, what are you getting? I'm currently running the waithax on a n3ds black friday edition. 00bc0101 left though.
