Can somebody log that as an issue on GitHub please? I'll look into it.

Never mind, I've already done it. The latest commit adds a check to see if the system is cold booting or rebooting. If it's a reboot, it doesn't ask for the PIN. This will be included in the next pre-release

I think is almost for a 1.0 release [emoji14]

Yeah I think so too. I just need to get testing reports from more users though to make sure it works on all hardware.

What hardware hasn't it been tested on yet? I can provide testing for a USA N3DS and possibly an o3ds also if needed.

Actually I have no idea. I've tested it on my EUR N3DS. I know others are using it but I don't know what hardware they're using. Ok may as well make a request for testers now

TESTERS NEEDED!
​

I need to confirm that 3DSafe works on a range of devices. I would be really grateful if users of 3DSafe could update to the latest pre-release and then post the following information:

Hardware: 2DS, old/new 3DS
Region:
PIN setting works: yes/no
PIN changing works: yes/no
PIN checking works: yes/no
OTP bypass works: yes/no
Payload booting works: yes/no
Emergency payload works: yes/no
Integrated SafeA9LHInstaller works: yes/no
Disable PIN works: yes/no

Thanks in advance

@Skyshadow101
Thanks! Oh I forgot skip PIN on reboot wasn't released yet

Oh. Well. The rest works then. Lol. I forgot I had the toggle pin to off.

I've just pushed pre-release version 0.9 to GitHub. It adds the following changes:

• Increased PIN max length to 10
• After correctly entering your PIN, the default behaviour is now to boot your A9LH payload immediately. If you want to display the 3DSafe options after entering the PIN, please hold down the last key of your PIN and the options will be displayed
• 3DSafe can now detect when the system has been rebooted rather than cold booted (e.g. when exiting System Settings). 3DSafe will only prompt for the PIN on a cold boot; after a reboot, the PIN request can be skipped. If you want to display the 3DSafe options on a reboot, hold the UP key while rebooting

Please see updated installation, updating and usage notes in the GitHub repo as they have changed for this update.

Thanks to the testers who have reported back so far. 1.0 release will be soon, once I have more reports of correct functioning.

@metroid maniac
You'll need to use the integrated SafeA9LHInstaller to update to 0.9. Please could you post here to let me know if it worked correctly? Many thanks

I'd appreciate it if anyone would be able to test 0.9 on the following:

O3DS: EUR, USA, KOR, JAP
N3DS: KOR, JAP
2DS: USA, KOR, JAP

Thanks in advance

I could test it on O3DS EUR, but I don't have a hardmod.

EDIT: gamesquest1 beat me to it! Well, I could still test the OTP bypass I guess.

Version: 0.9
Hardware: o3ds
Region: EUR
Pin setting: yes
Pin changing: yes
Pin checking: yes
OTP bypass: (untested as i dont know where the otp is for this console atm )
Payload booting: yes
Emergency payload: yes
SafeA9LHInstaller: yes
Skip PIN on Reboot: works fine when exiting system setting or NDS mode
Disable PIN: yes


oh one issue, which i dont think i will be able to replicate now, (although it may happen on n3ds too when i set it up on there), is on the initial setup when asked to make a pin, on the last button it registered with 2 additional presses, i.e ABABABABABBB

now idk if it was just a visual glitch or if it would have made me need to enter the extra B presses as i immediately chose to change pin to see if it happened again, but this time it stopped on the final button press

EDIT: ok didnt happen on the n3ds :S idk what happened the first time, so more results

Version: 0.9
Hardware: n3ds XL
Region: EUR
Pin setting: yes
Pin changing: yes
Pin checking: yes
OTP bypass: Yes
Payload booting: yes
Emergency payload: yes
SafeA9LHInstaller: yes
Skip PIN on Reboot: works fine when exiting system setting or NDS mode or gba mode
Disable PIN: yes

Thanks @gamesquest1, I've now got confirmation that it's working 100% on all consoles in EUR region. I'll wait for confirmation from others before considering whether to go to 1.0; for now, I have a hot date with a newly repaired N64

I updated with the integrated SafeA9LHInstaller, no problems.
The PIN skip on soft reboot is working just fine too.

On an unrelated note, what's the fixed width font used in the basic (non-graphical) interface of this program?

Thanks mate! I don't know what the font is. It's just the one which comes with ShadowNAND, which is what 3DSafe is (now loosely) based on.

ok, i can now confirm this wasnt just my eyes playing tricks on me, same thing just happened on a 2DS, so it may be an amazing o3ds exclusive bug

Spoiler

(not my real pin, so please don't steal my 3ds )

and i can confirm its just a visual glitch, the password remains as the first 10 buttons

Testing with a USA O3DS now.

EDIT: I have to use the OTP bypass for this update to work, it seems. I don't see an option to enter a PIN shorter than 10 characters and have it accept that.

EDIT 2: Darn it. I can't find my OTP. I KNOW FOR SURE it's on one of my computers; I made multiple backups. I am CERTAIN of that. I'll search in the morning. I'm TIRED. I had a long day.
