Not a complaint just a question. I know that you don't want to add the reboot patches to the reiNAND launcher, but would be possible to add them to the loader.cxi?
For some reason, the way you phrased that makes me think of my 3DS singing "I'm just a 3DS" (to the tune of Schoolhouse Rock's "I'm Just A Bill") LOL.

since tubehax is down (107.211.140.65) are we in trouble when leaving the 3DS WiFi on and close the lid or is reinand protected against accidentally updating? I am afraid of the update nag.
Is there any chance someone can compile the latest loader.cxi for me? I'm pretty sure the one that's included with the release doesn't use the .rnp patches (it uses a patches.dat file), and I'd like to try adding the region-free eshop for my region-swapped N3DS as a patch. I can download all the required files and dependencies, and I can compile Reinand just fine (with .rnp patches instead of patches.dat in the /data/patches folder), but for some reason I keep getting errors trying to make the loader. I've updated devkitARM, ctrulib, ARMips, msys, makerom, pretty much all of it. I have no idea why I keep getting the errors.
It adds the ability to read .rnp patches from the rei/patches folder. These are basically like the NTR memory patches. As long as you know the title you're patching, the patterns to look for to start writing your patch, and the appropriate patch, you should be able to add and remove these patches at will without remaking your loader.cxi every time you add something.
All I did was patch the "country response" for NIM to always report US as my N3DS country code. It was in Yifan Lu's loader, so I just copied the pattern and patch she had found and made an .rnp file out of it. I'm excited to see if it works, I just have to get home from work to try it out.
EDIT: I mean, as far as I know, that's how it works. I could be terribly wrong, but hey, that's what an emunand is for, right?

Ok, so heres my problem. I am attempting to use sysupdater to update my 10.7 emunand to 11.0. I am incapable of using system settings as it always gives me an error, which is why i use sysupdater. for some reason, it always tells me "failed to install NATIVE_FIRM!"... does anyone know what causes this or how to avoid this error?
use the latest ReiNand(older one had issues with firm write protection I think), and go update through system settings.
I am sorry if i sound dumb, but i dont know how to update. I downloaded the cfw zip from the first page, but it is completely different than the one i installed before, and i have no idea what to do with it...
you should be able to download the one for your model (N3DS or O3DS), then extract it to the root. this will probably fix the issue sysUpdater and system settings have
Huh? the download link leads to a github page with a zip. in the zip is a bunch of mysterious empty folders and some files that i dont know what to do with...
no im not sure, which is where i have the problem. where did you find the links you provided. i could only find links to "cfw" and "rop"
https://github.com/Reisyukaku/ReiNand/releases I linked to this a few posts ago.
below "Downloads", you would see "ReiNand-v4.1_N3DS.zip" and "ReiNand-v4.1_O3DS.zip". download the one for the kind of console you have, then extract it to the root of your SD card.
Just a heads up, if you're using the newest ReiNand commit (not the release, the one that uses the .rnp patches), it looks like the Region-Free CIA patch breaks CIAs on a region-swapped console (you can install them by FBI, but they don't show up in the home menu). The Region-Free Cart patch works fine, though. I only use US (or romhacked) stuff, and that's what I swapped my console to, so I don't mind losing that functionality. I just deleted that patch from my SD card, and everything shows up again. I haven't checked it on my US console yet, so I don't know if it will actually affect most people.
EDIT: It looks like the Region-Free Cart patch AND the Region-Free CIA patch have to be on for out-of-region carts to work. However, having the RF CIA patch on basically hides all your installed CIAs on region-swapped AND native consoles. When you remove the patches, they all show up back on the home menu (even if you had them in folders) and gift-wrapped...

Same thing here. I was facing a strange bug on Streetpass, so I compiled a new version of ReiNand, and all my cias just disappeared. When I removed those patches, all my games showed up again. gift-wrapped --'
At least, the Streetpass bug seems to be gone...

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 -

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:
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:
@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:
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:
@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:
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:
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

@
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:
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 -
