arm9loaderhax for 3DS

What this is

This is a fork of delebile's A9LH implementation, this exploit is documented here and also presented in this conference, and provides ARM9 code execution directly at boot, exploiting a vulnerability present in the 9.6+ version of the New3DS arm9loader.
The exploit was found by plutoo and yellows8.

Usage

It loads an arm9loaderhax.bin (does not init the screens) or arm9loaderhax_si.bin (inits the screens) ARM9 payload from the root of the SD card or CTRNAND at address 0x23F00000.
This means that it offers a BRAHMA-like setup, and as such has compatibility with every payload BRAHMA can run.
You can also run code on the ARM11 by writing its memory address to 0x1FFFFFF8.

Installation

This fork is specifically meant to work with Safe A9LH installer.

Setup

Compilation needs devkitARM r45.
