Homebrew Mocha CFW + FSHax combined!

What could go wrong? As long as you don't do anything stupid...
libiosuhax really isn't that hard to implement (took me 10mins for various existing apps) but do what you want, I suppose. I'm trying my hand at a rewrite anyway so we'll see what happens.

You're going to make a rewrite of SDCafiine? Neat, I know if it's you, it'll be rather interesting...

Thanks for the tip, btw.

(A linux joke...)

It's the same thing if you look at it from a different angle.

Not if it works as I describe/assume. (You can correct me there - tell me how it actually works.) If that's the case, mounting the SD on /dev/iosuhax in sdcafiine would only be helpful if all titles automatically have access to that node. Why would they have access to the iosuhax node and not SD? Or is it because SD is specifically restricted, so iosuhax is working by default?

Better explanation:
FSHax lets anything (from homebrew to titles) have access to everything.

On the other hand, /dev/iosuhax allows custom mountpoints and mappings. While native COS will refuse access, one can mount the SD onto /vol/sdcard and globally access away.

That doesn't actually tell me anything about how either FSHax or SDCafiine work. I can probably figure out how SDCafiine works by reading the source, but do you have an understanding of what FSHax does, or are you just repeating what @gudenaurock said in the fshax thread? Since there aren't any comments about that address (or any that closely precede it) in iosuhax, I don't know what the moves are intended to mask.

 

[memoryman3]

Because this is way faster...

Yes, it worked with Super Mario Maker.

Oh. What settings did you use?

 

[AboodXD]

Oh. What settings did you use?

redNAND.

 

[memoryman3]

redNAND.

Oh....I exclusively use sysNAND.

It just makes the permission check always succeed.

Thanks. Is this the device permission check, like 'everyone can use the SD', or the individual file access check, like 'screw the 0x400 permission on this xml, mr. nobody can delete me'? In other words, what function are you altering?

iirc it's global access to everything, by everyone, which is why I drew the chmod 777 / comparison earlier.

Ok, that means I'm back to having to look at ftpiiu_everywhere to see if it even implemented renames on other than sd, because I still get the 550 response when I try with this Mocha. Or I could try writing a POC renamer elf. Maybe I'll start with adding a function to wupclient.py. At least I mostly know what I'm doing on the PC.

It's device level.

That shouldn't cause a problem anyway. :/

 

[memoryman3]

Lemme redownload. Did you use the quick boot option that doesn't relaunch the OS?

Actually, i think I narrowed down the problem. I think you only really defined the SD card access in the redNAND and not the sysNAND.

 

[memoryman3]

HALP.

No.

No, because I once used iosuhax + FSHax on sysNAND, and it worked with SMM.

I am so confused. What settings did you use exactly in that test?

 

[bobrocks95]

Would there be any reason SDCafiine and this aren't working with Zelda Breath of the Wild? I guess the next thing I'll try and do is get the server working to see if it will tell me any more info, but I didn't get the server working for Smash either...

 

[speckxz]

I am also here to see if this works with BotW.
