Hey, I'm using the latest github release, and it's showing me "Installation Data Suite" every time I run rxTools.
It does boot quickly, but the progress bar is strange: [.....x.] I'm guessing the X is a partial error?
I'm on the old firmware.bin by the way. Don't know if it matters, and I can't get the .py script to download firmware.bin with the 7xxxx hash. No I'm not using OpenDNS blocker.

Use the updated version of the firmware.bin. That's most likely the error it's getting. It should be just all dots and then it'll be good to go.

I knew of the merging of RXTools and pasta projects, but I was asked to not divulgate it.

I'm not really part of the PASTA team, but I'm happy to share with them (or with everyone else) my experiments. If the PASTA team want to use the MSET entrypoint is free to do it (I advised them of the release on github several days ago) but I'm not actively contributing to other part of the code because I don't have time.

The MSET entrypoint for PASTA is ready and is on my github. Unlikely the pasta loader.bin crashes when loaded from MSET. It's a strange behaviour cause it crashes changing value to some global variables, not accessing directly memory. I don't know why.

Now I'm testing simple homebrews loaded with this code and they work fine. I have to try with bigger executable since maybe there are some memory location not readable/writable (only an idea, maybe it's wrong).

I someone wants to play with the MSET entrypoint, remeber to change the Framebuffers addresses in the pasta code, they are the same of the old barebone homebrew launched by the MSET (an example is on my github).

If we can make MSET work, there is an idea of making framebuffer addresses changed dinamically in the code depending on the entrypoint.

Is there a way to use MSET to launch Rxtools emunand on sysnand >4.5?

You have to run the python script.

You downloaded de rxtools 2.6, inside the tools folder (I think that's the name) you have two py scripts.

I'm still using the old Pasta with MSET because it's compatible with the GW version of the MSET exploit so I don't need to reinstall it if I want to play a GBA game instead of a .3ds using GW. What's the likelihood that this will work with rxTools (don't care if I have to rename it and/or have 2 identical files one rxTools.dat, one called Launcher.dat in the root)?

I had the same problem, had to generate a new firmware.bin with the .py script available in the 2.6 github archive. I then put it in my SD card, and booted up RxTools. no more errors

EDIT: the script's name is "cdn_firm.py", you'll find it in the "Tools" diretory of the github release.
Hope this helps.

Two questions:

1. Is this thread still going to be the main thread for Rxtools or will there be a new one? Actually that's a stupid question, no point making a new thread.

2. Where can we download new releases for Rxtools now that Roxas is leaving? He links a GIT site but it leads nowhere. Just wondering where I can follow rxtool's progress from now on.

the github link for @AlbertoSONIC is dead

Pasta team says they're going to use original rxtools repo
https://github.com/roxas75/rxTools

That should be amended in the OP if a mod could do it. Maybe giving editing powers to @AlbertoSONIC and @motezazer is a good idea.

Alright so I set up RXTools after having cake and GW emunand used and it won't boot RXMode, (black screens) I have Slot key and Firmware but it just blackscreens, any help? Running MSET 4.5.

I always recommend building stuff you can't find in repos yourself, instead of grabbing random binaries of the net.
I personally use these patches: https://github.com/mid-kid/config/blob/master/patches/armips-linux.patch
patch armips with "patch -p1 -i armips-linux.patch". Though I've heard people having trouble building it on ubuntu.

I am running Gentoo linux and I think I patched the files correctly. Can someone tell me the build command? running make or cmake doesn't work in armmips directory, so I'm clueless right now.

That `mkdir build; cmake ..; make` should helps. That supports CMake. Cmake only generates makefile.
If you really have problems that bother you too much you could try out dukesrg's noarmips branch, where all armips replaced by gAS.

If this is exactly what you saw with updated firmware.bin, it means TWL patching failed.
Always use the latest firmware.bin downloaded by latest cdn_firm.py that offered in the release.

I would really like to stay current with the official branch, though. I can compile rxtools fine with the supplied armips binary, but I would really like to compile armnips myself with mid-kid's patches. I hope gAS gets integrated into the official branch someday.

I seem to have made an invisible quote?

--Snip--

Well. Please not just insert text into the quote. That took me some time to figure out you did say something.
If you do like mid-kid patches just do it. Anyway that is confusing where to place those files.
