Homebrew Big Red Menu - Legal CIA installer/uninstaller

[nop90]

I may be wrong, but this is what I uderstood of the ctrclient.

IMHO what you are saying happens because patching the fw to setup the wifi connection it brokes something. Its very unstable while in that mode.

And when you refer to palantine CFW, remember that he only reworked the first part of the loader to eliminate the calls to Govanify site and making it a little more stable, but did not modified the part that is started with the L key and that patches the FW to activate the remore control of services (this part of code is in the arm11_code.bin file of the package and if you don't press the L key it isn't loaded. Try deleting this file from the SD ).

I don't know very much on this file, never tryed to RE it, I'm working only on the boot.bin file.

thanks... now i sound stupid.. but non the less, thanks... i thought it might've been the place it installs to, i mean can it only install to sysnand or realnand or rednand (for what the difference is)? i wouldn't know how to place the actual cia files on the nand, so i already assumed it would be on the sd-card.

RedNAND is just another name for emuNAND, it's short for red(irected)NAND.
It's actually a more accurate description than what Gateway call emu(lated)NAND. Because there isn't any emulation occurring at all, it's simply redirection to an SD mounted copy of the systems NAND. We all call it emuNAND because gateway provided the first public NAND redirection solution, and that was what they called it, so it stuck.

since big blue menu won't survive updates past 4.5 to function, a question. will this big red menu survive? and what are sdmc cia's?

What? You mean Big Blue Menu don't work on 5.x+ ?

It works fine on my brother's 3DS XL which run on 9.2... I even managed to install the blue card whitelist on sysnand with it...

Can you add a feature to Big Red Menu where when you install all cia, it deletes the current cia on successful install. This would be useful when you are batch installing and you don't have enough free space for the next cia in queue, but deleting current cia that it just installed will free up space for the next cia in queue.

Easy to add, i'll add this feature on next release maybe to another button (Y button?).

Can you make any delete, or mass install functions joker button? Something like L+R+Y, so that way we don't accidentally delete, or accidentally mass install.

My opinion, but I'd rather just have a confirmation dialog instead of a complicated button combination.

 

[I pwned U!]

How about adding a feature to this and ORGANIZ3D that allows the app to ckeck a server for updates, download them, and install them directly within the app?

The .3dsx versions would check for .3dsx updates and overwrite the old version on the SD card, and the .cia versions would download the latest .cia updates and install them.

Perhaps having and option to install a new copies without overwriting the old ones would also be useful in case a newer version ends up having a new bug causing instability.

 

[Rinnegatamante]

For now, lpp-3ds doesn't provide network functions (i have to add them but first i'm working to other things like TTF support) so i can't add this feature for now.

I need someone with a big CIA (size > 30/40 MB) to test an upcoming feature (A progress status check during importation).

Actual changelog:
- Fixxed a bug in Type detection. Now it's done correctly.
- Added possibility to auto-delete CIA files after importing (Y button).
- Added status check (processed bytes) during CIA importing (So now app will not seems to freeze during installation).

EDIT: Tested by myself and it works fine, v.1.3 is near to arrive.

 

[Rinnegatamante]

Yet another little update for Big Red Menu (which now is v.1.3):

- Fixxed a bug in Type detection. Now it's done correctly.
- Added possibility to auto-delete CIA files after importing (Y button).
- Added status check (processed bytes) during CIA importing (So now app will not seems to freeze during installation).
- Added Filesize info for CIA files
- Added Free Space info
- Added check for filesize before installing a CIA

You're the only one who cannot access to this resource. What DNS are you using? Try to switch to Google ones (8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4).

How come this tool isn't provided also as .3ds so that it can be self-bootstrapping? As in, able to install its own .cia?

 

[Rinnegatamante]

Both ninjhax and 3DS build cannot access to am:u service i used to create this.
Maybe N3DS users can use it as 3DSX (Cause N3DS has access to am:app), but i've not a N3DS to test...

For .3DS build, every single service you'll add in your workaround cause hb crash. On .3DS build you can access only this service:

Is there a way to back up your band without a gateway or another flash card?

 

[lemanuel]

Is there a way to back up your band without a gateway or another flash card?

if you mean "NAND", you don't need any flashcart at all. All you need is to be on firmware 9.2 or below. By putting GW's launcher in the SD card and running the web browser exploit, you're able to go to GW Menu and there you have the Backup NAND option.

 

[Rob Blou]

is there a way to scroll or fast browse throught files? thank you

I just had an idea for a completely legal CIA installer.


You could just steal DevMenu's exheader. Then it would be able to run and do its thing without having to be installed.


(well, if this isn't legal, then neither are all the current homebrews, since we're all using a stolen exheader)

So... i have made a BigRedMenu .3ds build using DevMenu exheader, i don't have a Gateway so i can't test, anyway, download here
