Hacking [Release] 3DSafe: In-NAND PIN lock for 3DS

Hello! Dropping by again, so since Luma 6.5 is out now and supports booting arm9loaderhax.bin from CTR NAND, will that affect 3DSafe's Mini-CFW?

Why not just use Luma instead? It works just fine as long as you have a path.txt on the SD card and on the NAND.
P.S. To use Luma from NAND, copy all wanted files from the SD to SYSNAND CTRNAND/rw/luma
Everything must also be on the SD card. The reason why is because when the SD card is inserted, the 3ds will read the CFW files from the SD (not the NAND) no matter what. It will read from the NAND only when there is no SD card present. The only exception for this is arm9loaderhax.bin itself.

I already know all of that lol. Anyways, I'm using 3DSafe over Luma because of the simple fact that you can't get rid of the passcode by deleting a file on the SD Card. 3DSafe is 100x way more secure than Luma passcode.

I don't think there's any reason to maintain that emergency payload any more. It's just a version of Luma with a few modifications to make it play nicely with CTRNAND so now that the real deal can boot from CTRNAND it's redundant.

I understand, I use 3dsafe too. What I'm saying is you can use 3dsafe to boot Luma from the NAND just like with the newer version of arm9loaderhax

Sorry guys for the question, (been away for some time...)

I just updated to latest luma and luma-arm9; can I update to this and still load all from nand without having to put payloads on my sdcard?

Can you elaborate please? How to do this.

Thanks

Yes.
AuroraWright's arm9loaderhax CTRNAND boot loads from the file 1:/arm9loaderhax.bin
3DSafe CTRNAND boot loads from the file 1:/3dsafe/emergency.bin

You'll need to create a text file called path.txt containing only the following.

/3dsafe/emergency.bin

Move this to the CTRNAND path 1:/rw/luma/path.txt using either FBI or GodMode9.
Then you need to put your Luma payload at 1:/3dsafe/emergency.bin. You can do this manually with FBI or GodMode9 or you can use the built in 3dsafe functionality by placing it on the SD card at 0:/3dsafe/emergency.bin and then pressing R at the 3DSafe menu.

Thanks, and does this arm9 get auto updated as luma arm9 does?

No arm9loaderhax fork includes autoupdate functionality. I think you're confusing a9lh with Luma CFW.

Thank you, to expand on my last post, it seems the branch of a9lh is based upon shadow nand and not aurora fork? Should I first install shadow nand before installing this?

There is no need, just go straight to 3DSafe. If you don't like it, you can go straight back to AuroraWright's a9lh.

Thanks for the tips m8, working very well here

I saw the post from the poor chap who had his 3ds stolen Then I found this and thought, what a great way to burn someone if they ever try to do the same thing to me

Thanks mashers for this great app!

Remember to keep your otp.bin in a safe place in case you forget your pin. If you don't have it, then dump the sha.bin with L.

never mind

I currently have 0.12 3DSafe installed. What version of luma is used for the sdless boot by default? To update luma in 3DSafe, do you just get the latest payload of luma, rename it to emergency.bin, and replace the current file existing in the 3dsafe folder?

Also, is there a difference between the current sdless boot method in 3DSafe and AuroraWrights CTRNAND support?

You can use any version of Luma that can boot from CTRNAND (6.6 is the latest.) You can either add Luma to CTRNAND using GodMode9 or 3dsafe, but you will need a path.txt in SYSNAND CTRNAND:/rw/luma/path.txt, and it will need to have the file path of emergency.bin. As for loading the payload from the NAND, the only (noticeable) difference is where the payload is stored...

Sorry, I'm a bit confused. Would just renaming luma's arm9loaderhax.bin and changing it to emergency.bin replacing the existing one in the 3dsafe folder, then use 3dsafe to update the emergency boot and lost.bin together not work?

U need the path.txt in the correct location with the correct path in it like he said, or luma wouldnt be able to boot dsiware and gba vc.

EDIT: ...or DS games.
