Hacking [Release] Free multi patcher

[Just3DS]

I have exactly the same problem arising just last few days ago I was using it. N3DS is on GW emuNAND 9.5 and I always first patch the system (using the version 0.5 app and pressing START) and then switch on wireless (and switch off wireless before poweing off). This has been the case for like a month with no issues. Until recently what happened that when I exited Mii plaza application (pressing HOME) while it got suspended that update popup came up. I clearly remember going in and out of eShop several times in that session and going to Miiverse several times (which means the eShop spoof kept working), however this one day when exiting out Mii plaza app this is the first time I saw the update nag (the update got downloaded and asked to install it).

Seems like I found the culprit (or rather a solution) to this problem.
I was getting this message randomly on booting into GW mode: "You must update the system before this software or update data..."
Which tells that some application is forcing the system to be updated (meaning the system update itself hasn't downloaded yet).
Since I was experiencing this problem after exiting Mii Plaza, I went into Data Management in Settings app.
There, in Add-on Content section I found two of Mii Plaza data, one was only 2 blocks and other which clearly saying Mii Plaza Update and was 430-ish blocks something.
After deleting just that Mii Plaza Update I did few boots into GW mode and so far not having any such update nags again

TL.DR: If you are getting update nag like this: "You must update the system before this software or update data..."
Then try remembering what last application you were using when this start showing up, go in Data Management >> 3DS Software >> Add-on Content, find and delete that.
FreeMultiPatcher seems to be doing its job fine (not letting it download the system update). It's rather some application itself got updated. Hope this helps

But then I'd lose my MiiPlaza update data obviously. So it's hardly a solution is it?

I don't use Mii Plaza, I kinda just ran the application and it did download some update that was meant to be used on FW higher than 9.5 I think. You should not lose progress data (haven't confirmed it and don't wanna confirm).

Oh by the way, Project Mirai DX demo (with 30 use limit) is out on eShop for EUR region (full game will be out on 11/09/2015), the demo is working fine on N3DS 9.5 emuNAND

Ah, well I do use MiiPlaza (it's the only thing I play on my 3DS at the moment), and have purchased all of the DLC and such. So it's not a very good solution for me anyhow.

I'm no "weaboo" so the Project Mirai demo (and the concept of virtual idols in general), is something I find both hilarious and tragic in equal parts.

But based off of my own observations and anecdotal evidence,I suspect there are plenty of people here that will be interested to know that

2.Back to emuNand once exits from MSET.

I don't think that will ever happen. As far as I know, the MSET app itself does a soft reboot when you exit. The only way around that would be to actually hack MSET, and even if you were able to, you would no longer be able to enter system settings without sigchecks patched.

Cause some guys run this app as CIA, and surely it is patched already.
Or else you could make a dynamic patcher for MSET, targeting this.
However this is beyond his ability currently. So just a note.

Haha... sorry, bro but the cia is not patched at all. The MSET .CIA files are unmodified files from Nintendo's update server. Again, if it was patched, you would NOT be able to run it BEFORE loading an exploit/CFW. Then it couldn't be used as an entry point and completely make downgrading it useless to begin with.

What i hoped for was exiting that MSET wouldn't push you from emunand to sysnand.
The purpose is only for emunand, with sig-patch, the app could be patched. Not appliable for the one in SysNAND.
Or else.. dynamic patching, not appliable when solely using this tool. I hope that could be solved when ARM11 payload support for rx or cakes running.
Don't use a patched MSET for sysNAND or you wouldn't be able to use it. That's true, and i admit.

EDIT:: As @urherenow said, that's not easy at all. Surely, especially for this author.

Ok, so in theory it's a possibility for emunand, but you'd have figure out where the reboot command is and patch it out, and possibly see if it stops any services when it loads and patch that out as well. Not very easy at all.

The way we have got Micro SD Manager app separated from System Settings menu by GBATemp member for N3DS (and that works for O3DS too), notice that if you exit the app it instead throws an error and takes you back to HOME screen (it obviously been patched so that it doesn't reboot system). I think same is possible for System Setting app as well but need to figure out how to make that patched app work instead (in emuNAND).

Speaking of which, it might be useful in some cases under a downgraded MSET to be able to do that with the NNID applet...

I just edited my previous post to add that it will only work for emuNAND (sysNAND won't show up any modified appliation when cold booted).

This was posted in another thread, is this something that could be achieved with a patch?

Every time I open the emunand , I come across these " goodies " , only this bothers me , in addition to get more complicated when it comes to finding a specific app or game,

I ask you, it is possible to do something to prevent this from happening ?

If you do not like , is there any .cia I can put in my emunand to all open presents?

Thank you for your help !!

It should be possible, but somebody need to create a patch that disables the presents.

Should be easier after the next update, were I add the patch layout and maybe some other features.

I'm looking forward to the next update. I think this project will really flourish when users are able to create and add their own patches. At least I hope so.

I hope so too, also I hope that people will implement the layout in applications and cfws like ntr.
I will also try to implement a ram dumper(dont know if I will include it in the big update or a later one), so it should be possible to get clean ram dumps from applications.
Also it would be good if I find out, how to replace applets, then cheating should be possible too.

Can I use this to access the eShop if I'm on a n3ds using Reinand Emunand with Mset?

@RednaxelaNnamtra

Ah I got this mainly for the home menu out of region patch, because half of
my games don't show up, it worked but when I restart my 3DS the games dissapear
and I have to apply the patch again. Is there any way to make the patch permanent?

Thanks

no, at the moment there is no way to permanently patch the 3ds. But if you are fast enough booting up the cfw and starting the patcher, you won't need to unwrap them. I recommend to use the touchscreen to start it, its a bit raster than the buttons
