So true and most easy to use
Or just add this to the Makefile
all: arm9loaderhax.bin
arm9loaderhax.bin: $(dir_build)/main.bin
@cp -av $(dir_build)/main.bin $@
Simplifies running 'make' and 'copy arm-TAB g:'
Or just use xcopy like i do (if building yourself from git)
xcopy "%dir%\CakesForeveryWan\build\main.bin" "%dir%\CakesForeveryWan\out\arm9loaderhax.bin*"
Else the dd command is the best solution
(put it in a batch file)Example: "a9lhcakes.bat" -> put it in the same folder as your "cakes.dat"
- If arm9loaderhax.bin file is found the program will tell you and stop
- If cakes.dat file is found it will create arm9loaderhax.bin from cakes.dat
- If no cakes.dat file is found, batch file will tell you and say it needs to be in the same folder as cakes.dat.
Code:
@echo off
cls
if exist "arm9loaderhax.bin" (
echo.
echo You already have an arm9loaderhax.bin file!
echo.
pause >nul
GOTO EOF
)
if exist "cakes.dat" (
dd if=Cakes.dat of=arm9loaderhax.bin bs=512 skip=144
) else (
echo.
echo Put this batch file in the same folder as your cakes.dat
echo.
pause >nul
GOTO EOF
)
echo.
echo Done! arm9loaderhax.bin is now in your folder
echo.
pause >nul

Thanks, that looks more promising. I posted a message on 3DS NOOB PARADISE and none answered yet.

I was bored, so i cleaned up and made the batch script bigger!
So if you are on a Windows computer you or lucky!
Use this batch script to get "arm9loaderhax.bin" for CakesFW
How to use!
- Run the batch file and read
- For those that don't want to read the batch output! try to read the next lines!
- IF you build CakesFW yourself
--- Put this batch file in the same folder as your "CakesForeveryWan" folder (see screenshot)
---and select option "1"
- IF you don't build yourself, (Downloaded a build version)
--- Put this batch file in the same folder as your "Cakes.dat" (see screenshot)
---and select option "2"
- IF you don't know what this is for or you don't want it
--- Run it and choose option "3"
- IF you already have "arm9loaderhax.bin" in your folder
--- Try me if you dare!
That's it
- Ow, if you build yourself, the script will check if you have a CakesForeveryWan folder and if you have a main.bin file in the build folder
(yes it will also check if you already have an "arm9loaderhax.bin" file in your cakes folder )
Happy A9LH Cakes running!
Right i forgot!
Here's the script! -> put it in a file and rename it whatever you like. For example: "GetCakesA9LH.bat"

I don't get it... why are you extracting the payload? As chaoskagami has already said, it is *exactly* the same as main.bin in the build folder.
Wouldn't it be easier to just add my snippet to the Makefile, rather than running dd to extract something you already have?
It's almost like compressing a file and keeping the original, but to obtain the original you have to decompress it rather than copy the original to where you want.
EDIT: Nevermind, this is for users who have Cakes.dat but not the source

That's why i explain it!
IF you don't build yourself! You don't have a main.bin file or a makefile
Like said i was bored and it was funny
It's for the lazy ones (like me) (Ok, i build myself
, i don't need this thing )[EDIT]
Indeed, but it's also for builders (Option 1) and non builders (Option 2) and even people who don't use CakesFW (Option 3
)

I'm actually super glad mid-kid contacted me and that I got those changes merged. It should handle incomplete decryptions with the arm9 segment still encrypted on newer 9.6+ firmware too (which are how Luma/Cosmo handle it, afaik) ReiNand's firmware.bin still won't work because of memekey.
This is so untrue. All you need is ctrtool, the fw files and the parameter meta=meta (with a few more). This will extract an encrypted version of the firmware.bin.
This is just not common knowledge. So it's not 'PITA'

Well, to the average user who doesn't understand how to operate developer tools, it is a PITA. I've extracted firmware that way before. But you've probably already gone over most average user's heads there by lack of exact commands. Most users do not understand how to operate ctrtool directly, even. :/
Anyways, there's other good reasons for decrypted firmware support including manual sysmodule injection, interopability, and a slight load speed increase from not having to decrypt. Either way, it's a useful feature to have.
I just hope mid-kid can get around to #40 eventually.
Well yeah, but you also need the cetk to boot the encrypted firmware with Cakes, and AFAIK you can only get that cetk from the NUS. (Or not anymore, since the 9.0 cetk isn't on the servers anymore)
I'd love to be proven wrong if you can show me some way of getting the 9.0 cetk out of an update CIA or something.
The CETK is the same for all firmwares (the only difference being between n3ds and o3ds firmwares). I have no idea why it's such a common misconception.
Also, I'm sorry for my sudden absence for a while, I've been dealing with IRL shit, and I'm pretty demotivated overall right now.
I'm still working on this, but even slower than I used to. I hope I can pick up again at some point.

Real life comes first, take your time.
Don't push yourself for us. We know you are still working on this project and we can wait for you.
Real life comes before this project, take care of yourself first.
Hm, I could've sworn i compared the CETKs from the firmwares i actually had (9.6.0+) at some point when i was looking for a way to boot 9.0 FIRMm and they had different CRCs. I admit i never actually tried booting with a CETK from a newer firmware.
But i just checked again, and now the CETKs come up with the same hashes. *shrug* Well, that takes care of that fringe problem at least!
edit: actually wait, i found the problem. The CETKs i have for 9.6.0, 10.0.0 and 10.4.0 FIRMs have the same CRC, but the one for 10.2.0 is different. I probably only checked the two newest ones i had and concluded every firm must have their own unique CETK. That's weird.

Take your time, and have fun with stuff. RL is crap sometimes (I know, trust me.)
Until I finish coding my own CFW someday[1], I'll continue using cakes as my main since it's well designed, cleanly coded, and extensible - rather than a stack of hacks like most ReiNAND derivatives (looking at you, Luma.)
[1] Someday, as in: When half-life 3 comes out . Read: probably never.
Hey, just started using the arm9loaderhax build.
I downloaded the firmware.bin and cekt, but the cekt won't decrypt correctly.
I removed the .bin extension. I suspect this was discussed earlier, but scrolling past the last three pages I'm writing this. New 3DS btw
