Ok, I've been out of the 3ds loop for a bit....what is firmlaunch?
It allows you to play a game that normally requires a higher firmware than what you are currently on. It would allow you to play Pokémon Shuffle which requires 9.5 to play on 9.2 or lower.

Ok, how does it work?
Basically on your computer you use the companion app to download the firmware file for the higher firmware which then gets loaded by Pasta. As far as the 3DS is concerned you are using either a system 9.5 or 9.6. At which point you can't use any exploits until you shut the 3DS off.

EDIT: Quick question for the Pasta Team. I saw on another site that rxPasta has been released and can be downloaded on Mega. I assume it not to be true as it would have posted here. Just want official confirmation. I was the one to call it rxPasta so I find it funny that they are using my name if this is unofficial.

Rxpasta isn't a terribly creative name. I doubt that you were the only person to think of it

I still want to know if this rxPasta I saw is official or not.
This name is ever thought about. However it is not chosen.
So you should have seen an unoffcial one, maybe someone's own build of rx
I suggest not to use it, or just compile it yourself if you do like it too much.

RXTOOLS -WITH PASTA- isn't released yet, but the source is on github so if you want to try it out, just compile it. The only change you'll see is the theme, n3ds support isn't there...

The system menu will not show anything other than you current firmware version.

Yes you will be able to play both Retail Carts and CIA games

You know firmlaunch is working when you are not asked to update your 3DS when launching Xenoblade and it will load properly.

Make sure that the firm.bin for your 3DS is in the Pasta folder inside the 3ds folder and firmlaunch is set to on in the Pasta settings.

i couldn't make it work, even though i got the firm.bin (964kb) in the pasta folder.
i already set the firmlaunch on the settings. still the game is asking me to update every time i launch it

    @SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that

    I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol

    I never knew about it at the time but a fixed version was available but you had to mail in your broken copy lol
