Black screen, but didn't work (N3DS) #32

1st of all, I'm really glad to have such a nicely made guide. It served me really well and due to some plan mistake, I had to follow the guide twice for two different O3DS (and everything worked as it should have).

But now, that I'm doing it the "N3DS way", I'm stuck at safea9lhi step. I triple checked (and re-did everything) that I followed correctly the steps from https://plailect.github.io/Guide/installing-arm9loaderhax but it doesn't work.

I can start the hb launcher from QR code scanning, but when I launch safea9lhi I get most of the time the black screen (most of the times, keys are working) but I can't install it.

Fortunately sometimes I don't get a black screen so I could find the issue which didn't make sense to me. I get the error message: "Error: otp.bin doesn't exist and can't be dumped". Which is weird because from what I've read, since I'm on N3DS I shouldn't need the otp.bin right?

That's my issue and I'm honestly not sure what to do. I tried to check the guide as if I was on O3DS but since I'd need O3DS specific files, I didn't try anything but keep on trying to use safea9lhi. And I didn't find anyone having the same issue yet.

PS: if that helps, my N3DS was on OFW 11.2.0-35E and I used plailect guide to get a hacked 3ODS then transfer everything to my N3DS. Everything worked till the point I mentioned above. Now it's downgraded to 9.2.0-20E.

Nevermind, silly was using safea9lhi for O3DS with outdated datainput files.
