I realise that, if someone would do the same on me i would respond the same. I didn't know the question was asked that much. I shouldn't have asked that here to begin with, but i was a bit out of options since no one answered the question ;p even in the corresponding forum section.
Sorry you had that experience! Looking back, nobody even answered your question, they only had to say "get a DS flashcart", instead of making vague insulting remarks. Hope this hasn't turned you off the community. We aren't all like that.

Ofcourse i still like the community! And thanks for the support :)

Is there a way to convert a9lh to a .firm, essentially chain loading it through Lima and allowing use of more cfw's and a wider selection of payloads.
There is a tool to convert a9lh .bin to a .firm, just look around a bit. I don't know if it works for B9S 1.2 tho, you might want to check that first

A9lh is an exploit, you can't "convert a9lh to .firm", one is an exploit and the other is a file format.
You can try to convert .bin payloads to .firm, but most advanced ones like cfw didn't even work on b9s 1.0, let alone even fewer being compatible with the changes made in b9s 1.2. At this point if the maker of the cfw or other arm9 payloads specifically port it to b9s .firm it won't run well if at all. Martyr through something like bootctr9 but even then cfw usually won't work.

So, Sighax is released. Say I had a N3DS XL (USA) that is on a9lh-less 11.4 because I found a new way to softbrick before I attempted to get CFW. Say I also had doodlebomb (so HBL access) and a r4i DS lite flashcart (in case that's useful somehow), but I didn't have soldering skills or access to any CFW-enabled 3DS at all.
Can I use Sighax at all? Or do I have to wait for 11.5 to release so smealum can drop a 11.4 exploit?

...I remember being so happy when I saw that there was a new 11.3 exploit... until I screwed it up... ._.
Sigh. I'll be careful next time.

Sorry but you're confusing, does your 3ds already have a9lh installed or not?
If it does then it doesn't matter if it's 11.4 as you can still update it to b9s 1.2

when NTRcardhax comes outlikely either will require a CFW'd 3DS to install via GM9/D9 or it'd be released as an .nds file to run on the compatable flashcart to flash the crafted Firmware to it. from thatpoint youd be able to install B9S so outside paying for your 3DS to be hardmoded, or waiting for the next 11.4 "free" exploit, just gotta wait.

The only other 3DS I could possibly use is an O3DS on 11.4, and it's not mine anyway. And I never even so much as got HBL to run on it from soundhax. (it had 11.2 at the time iirc, and it was right around the time 11.4 was released) So... no CFW.

So... it might be released as an .nds file? That's really good news for me, because I have a r4i card.

Sigh... well, thanks for confirming that for me.
...the .nds hack might be released before 11.5 is released, right?

Why not simply say it's an unmoded/unhacked 3ds hell of a lot less co confusing and to the point.

Well, if I said "unhacked," it could be argued that that means that I don't have HBL access. But I do.
At least, I think it could mean that. I'm pretty new to this stuff. I don't know all the fancy terminology. So maybe you're right.
Point is, I have no CFW, but I have HBL access. No arm9/arm11/any kind of kernel or root access, though. Except for whatever level HBL runs on when launched from doodlebomb.

By the way, could anyone explain those neat "boot9strap day one installer" badges? Are there badges for other CFW/homebrew related things? I just noticed that a lot of people have them. (And those that do seem to be knowledgeable and fairly proficient in basic grammar and typing etiquette.)

Being hacked is a synonym of having a9lh or b9s.
The badges are for people who installed b9s within a few days of release.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
