why make it inside a folder? I currently download the file to the root of the card. Is there any issue with this? or is it all you want is for it to auto-remove itself?

An auto removal tool is what I am suggesting. It just seems cleaner to store unneeded files in a separate folder, then delete the folder afterwards. Although, you could still accomplish the same goal without doing that.

Well, I've updated the script on github to remove the zip after installation, I'll make a CIA in a while, when I can.

I will have to test it later since I am going to work soon.

k, released it on the site as update 0.2.3. Next feature is an updater for the updater

This runs on LPP-3DS. It is based on my EasyRPG 3DS Updater: RE.

This tool allows you to download the latest version of Corbenik CFW to your 3DS directly.

It supports different payload paths than ARM9Loaderhax.bin. To do so, check the location of your payload (imagine it is SD:/somedirectory/somefile.bin).

Create a file on the root of the SD Card called "corbenik-updater.cfg" and write "/somedirectory/somefile.bin" without the quotes.

Download: http://gs2012.xyz

You can also download from Github. Link is on the page.

A CIA has been built. It can be found on the gs2012.xyz page for this project.

It seems to work.

Special thanks to:

@Rinnegatamante for Lua Player Plus 3DS

@Crystal the Glaceon for testing and screenshot

Excuse me, but this conflicts with the TID of another homebrew (Organize3D).
Could you change the TID in the next release?

Hum, ORGANIZ3D uses 0x1337. This uses 0x1540. How does it conflict?

EDIT: You're using an old version. Currently, the TID is not the same as ORGANIZ3D. Use 0.2.3 instead.

Actually never mind the updater to the updater being the next feature. Apparently I already implemented that and forgot about it. lol.

Welp, I made some changes to how the update works, so... 0.3.0 will be the minimum version for auto-updating to work.

@Crystal the Glaceon could you give 0.3.0 a shot? Make a file named /corbenik-updater/useupdate on your SD Card, and see if it works properly, it should download and run the Lua script from a server. If you successfully get to the menu using 0.3.0 AND the "useupdate", it means it works.

Download 0.3.0

Download 0.3.0

Sorry for the delay, testing it now

is that when the file /corbenik-updater/useupdate exists?

Yup, let me test it without the file
Same error

anyway, version 0.3.1 may come out if I find the issue. If it still doesn't work, I'll skip this issue of the auto-updating not working for now, and I'll make some server-side changes (more specifically, a script to download the latest version from Github every hour to my server, which should make it ok, since my server doesn't have SSL, so the updater should work properly. I've done something similar earlier today, because of EasyRPG changing servers for the build making the new server incompatible with LPP. I made a PHP script to download the files every hour to my server, and that seems to work well.).

I'm going to add SHA512sums next release, FYI. I suggest you check them for sanity purposes both when mirroring and from Lua. That should cut down on errors.

I may attempt to make my own updater at some point to obsolete the need for Lua (no 302 support.) No offense intended if I do - it isn't happening anytime soon, at least. I have more important things to work on.

Don't worry, I won't feel offended, an official solution is always better imo.

0.3.3 released!

Supports usage of arm9loaderhax.bin and arm9loaderhax_si.bin as default payloads (without setting a custom payload path) and allows for auto-updating and updating to the chainloader/no-chainloader versions of Corbenik.

Read the README for more information.

As always, a clean update is recommended when updating Corbenik CFW.

0.3.4 available!

Fixes an issue with Dirty Update, and supports BGMs (/corbenik-updater/bgm.wav, /corbenik-updater/bgm.ogg or /corbenik-updater/bgm.aiff).

There won't be an updated CIA for this. To use this update, please create a file named /corbenik-updater/useupdate on the SD card.

gnmmarechal · Jun 22, 2016

It seems BGM playback sometimes is glitched. I made it so BGM will only play if a file named /corbenik-updater/usebgm exists.

At the moment when using a custom path you backup the existing arm9loaderhax.bin and then overwrite it and then move the new arm9loaderhax.bin to the new path (and rename) and then restore the backup right?

But this means that if the update fails for some reason or I want to cancel it I can no longer boot my 3DS without downloading a new copy of my bootloader and placing it on the SD card.

If it was done in a tmp directory then there is no chance of messing anything up.

If you get the latest A9LH you can boot without SD card to a Mini Luma CFW, making it possible to boot, rename the file, and reboot from the 3DS.

What I do is:

I download the ZIP. I rename the original payload to something else, I extract the ZIP, then the payload, and if you're using a custom path, I rename the original payload back. I don't overwrite any payload. If you're using a custom path, the payload at the root will be the same. If you're not, the old copy will be renamed to something else using time and date. Let's be honest. Any "failed update" is never good. Even with the official Nintendo updater, a failure can brick your device. Corbenik Updater simply renames stuff, it doesn't delete the old files unless they are on a custom path. I'm not sure if custom path bins are deleted, but if they are, I'll make it so they are renamed. I'm not entirely sure, actually.

The only thing I'd change would be to check the SHA512 hash of the file prior to installing, as to prevent failed updates. I'm still looking into using SHA512 with Lua, actually.

I don't see any point in a temp directory.

Now that I look at it, I might make some changes, the installation code looks weird.

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

I spotted some potential issues for people who use arm9loaderhax_si.bin as their main payload, although I've never encountered any issues.

Should be fixed in the latest OTA update.

I'm aware that these are for a minecraft mod (OpenComputers) and one is a sha256 implementation, but some code in pure lua:

https://github.com/OpenPrograms/Pixel-Programs/blob/master/sha512.lua (no clear license)
https://github.com/OpenPrograms/Pixel-Programs/blob/master/bit64.lua (no clear license)

https://github.com/JustAPerson/LuaCrypt/blob/master/sha2.lua (sha256, but would be pretty easy to extend)
