Hacking Plailect's 3ds.guide in 5 minutes without a computer

is launching the alternate payload the only thing the modified b9s does?

That's the only difference from the official builds of B9S, yes.

would it be possible to put all necessary files into the sd in the ntr card any have the card use that? or is it impossibl to access the sd slot via ntrboothax?

I think that would be theoretically possible but not at all easy. Keep in mind that each flashcart needs different methods to read from the SD card.

It's gotten to the point where we can hack a 3DS faster than a place like Hardee's or In-and-out can finish preparing someone's meal. Kek

This is assembly line style hacking. Very nice.

so ntrboot is an entirely new firmware for the card correct?

How did you "compile the 2 standalone scripts"?

How did you "compile the 2 standalone scripts"?

Put them in the "data" folder as autorun.gm9 before compiling gm9.

For ntrboot firm, type "make ntrboot
For the other one, just type "make release"

UPDATE:


Thanks to d0k3 and his new version of GodMode9, I managed to compile 2 standalone scripts to speed the process up, with the first script flashed to my flashcart instead of boot9strap.

• The first script:
• Does security checks and installs boot9strap
• Copies required files from the installation SD to the 3DS's RAMDRIVE
• Switches SD cards
• Copies the required files from the RAMDRIVE to the target SD card
• Boots Luma3DS

After I install the required CIAs, I reboot the 3DS, which boots into boot.firm (which is the second script) and does the following:

• Copies hbl's .3dsx file to the right location (boot.3dsx)
• Copies Luma3DS's .firm file to the right location (boot.firm)
• Removes installation files
• Powers the 3DS off (@ 2:02)

Spoiler: Old Post

In short: I made use of a modified boot9strap that was flashed to the Acekard 2i to load "ntrboot.firm" instead of "boot.firm" to speed things up. I also wrote GM9 scripts to copy the source SD card's contents to the ramdrive in GM9 so that I could copy the required files to the target SD card without having to use a computer. I used FBI as "boot.3dsx" to speed the CIA installation up and then ran a script to copy luma to ctrnand and another one to rename the homebrew launcher to boot.3dsx and delete all the setup files from the target SD card, including the scripts themselves.

. . . i really want it but your op has no links and that makes me sad

 

[julienbdes]

Which flashcard are you using ?

 

[wormdood]

Which flashcard are you using ?

ak2i

You can compile them as standalone scripts by putting them inside "data" as "autorun.gm9" before compiling GodMode9. Note that for Stage 1 you also need the "aeskeydb.bin" in the "data" folder. You can also run them as scripts inside the normal release of GodMode9.

I flashed stage 1's standalone script to my Acekard 2i clone (R4i Ultra) by compiling it with "make ntrboot" and renaming it so that ntrboot_flasher could inject it to my flashcard.

 

[wormdood]

. . . i dont know how to "compile" things
i was really hoping it was so easy a total noob can do it

 

[Omegapsy]

To be frank, setting up the requirments to build GM9 is not that hard if you can follow instructions and are not afraid of doing a little work in a terminal window.

Okay, so unless there is something I am missing, there are files missing for this to properly work on a N3DS (my testing platform) as it is missing the file for the secret sector (which I believe you can't share here anyhow) so part of this is "incomplete".

For reference, I am using an AK2I flashed with GM9 in script mode with your stage1 script flashed to it. It fails at this point every time I test it. Any advice?

You can copy that sector from a 3DS with GodMode9. Go to SYSNAND VIRTUAL and copy it from there.

Nevermind

Update: Got it all working. Really clean and fast. Really recommend compiling the scripts into GM9 as it is super fast that way.

Keeping this on my Acekard since that is always in my 3DS anyhow XD. Plus since this is lightweight, I can keep everything on a 4GB microSD card and still have room leftover to play DS games off my Acekard.

If we ever meet, I will shake your hand and buy you a (BEER/COFFEE) for the efforts. Excellent work!!

Thank you for the work!

Downloaded, i'll try it!

When you say you used "make ntrboot" is that when you compile godmode9? Just trying to figure out the steps so I can flash this to an r4i RTS.

Edit. The mega folder you posted I'm guessing is the previous version of this?

Yes. The "make ntrboot" refers to compiling GodMode9. The mega folder contains the files needed for the two scripts to function properly.
