Homebrew Waithax/Slowhax implementation released by Mrrraou

[Jayro]

I would rather call the system transfer method SlowHax, since I had to system transfer, DSi dowgrade, wait a week, then system transfer back.

My 3DS is still running my initial build, I wasn't going to give this too many attempts as my C/C++ skills aren't the greatest and I'm not sure I could actually make this work if it doesn't on this attempt. But if it does, will definitely post it. @zoogie, around what part did your build fail? Was it during the installation of the dsiwarehax payload (when it attempts to use the SVCs) or before the installer's code even started?

Right at the part where normally forbidden SVCs are accessed:

The attempt to get the SVCs in the DSiWareHax installer. Used the regular build.

Then ya, mine likely won't do much better. All I did was chain the DSiWareHax Installer after the exploit code was run, hadn't changed any other code in dsiwarehax_installer :/

I saw the code's comments said that we should use waithax_backdoor like svcbackdoor (at least, that's how I understood it), so perhaps more in-depth changes need made to dsiwarehax_installer than simply getting waithax to load it as PID 0.

Will those ever come?

No it's all just a meme

From my non-existent Assembly knowlege this

V
3ds_dsiwarehax_installer/source/srvaccess_kernelmode.s

Although copying it likely be as simple, it would need to be ported.

this goes with everything so, why not play it during your 3ds hacking-ventures??

Don't worry, I've got a something I'm going to send when someone gets this working.

 

[ShadowEO]

Nope, didn't work. Failed in the same place. Definitely seems that more work needs done, but our current base implementation should be a good place to start from, since we do have them integrated, just not cooperating (though I feel that we're really close in this regard, but I don't have the experience or knowledge of the 3DS to go further). The other option would be to wait for someone with a little more in-depth knowledge to work on it.

please tell me its the 3ds hacker song!!

Nope, but it is an image...

actually I thought a 3ds homebrew song existed but nope so here's a wii homebrew song lol

wtf?? the first build didn't freeze on me... ninjahax on n3dsxl on 11.1

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

but, it did freeze when exiting the homebrew launcher...

Nice, well done @Mrrraou and keep trying zoogie and ShadowEO. You are all doing great work. If it needs an addition week combining all I'll be fine. I can wait another week to finally hack my n3DS after my o3DS. I'm not doing system transfer method, as i want to keep my data.

-------------------

And @DarkRiolu264 even if your are waiting, iirc there is absolutely no way to downgrade from 11.0/1 without DSiWare or hardmod, except the TOCTTOU exploit, which i guess won't be implemented soon.

Even FBI with slowhax won't help, here's why: https://gbatemp.net/threads/why-the...simple-explanation-for-the-rest-of-us.441373/

Has anyone said it doesn't work? what is being said not to work is this + dsiwarehax installer.

Also the GitHub says "Crash in PM when rebooting the console / running another homebrew / exiting to Home Menu (probably due to some invalid handle or something). Minor issue." so the crash is to be expected, its why this needs to be merged with something like dsiwarehax/FBI for them to work.

Having the code go one after the other is not a solution. The DSiWareHax installer needs to use special functions in the slowhax source. Someone needs to port it.

I understand that, was just trying to keep it simple

 

[PizzaBitez]

god fucking damn it.... I might as well place this in my damn signature because its getting too fucking annoying... I wanted to install the custom twlnand for nitrohax because I wanted to use AR cheats... then I wanted to install a9lh and this was before there was an otpless installer and custom labels for sysnand and emunand... I was reading the a9lh install guide... I thought I needed to have my emunand on the latest update and I updated... I was pissed when I had updated system nand instead of emunand... and I couldn't play any ds games because of a lack of a twlnand... does that clarify your question??

Don't be rude amigo.

My signature is useful.

Can it run windows?

don't be a code crapper... just help in our conqest for a downgrade solution on 11.1 or not post at all and watch us potentially fail... your choice

 

[Distrance]

I know, really. I just noticed that people are actually THAT patient to let their 3ds on for 3 months. This could still be useful as it would permit downgrades on 11.2.

If I had a console on 11.2, I'd use that. The question is, what happens if your power goes out? Console bricked lul? In a three month period, losing electricity wouldn't be completely out of the picture.
