In one of the embedded images, there are two 3DS consoles connected to a machine. One was closed and mounted onto some kind of frame while another was opened and connected to a control panel of some sort. Could one 3DS be used as the control interface for testing another 3DS console?

(The image was labelled as "gyro test" or something similar)

A little feedback of working with what CFW.

NEW 3DS XL with A9LH Delebile release.

Working for me with:
Luma3DS 5.5 (non dev version)
Luma3DS 5.5 (dev version)
CakesFW (175 SE) (SE=Special Edition from that iso site with all files you ever need!)
SaltFW 2.0b LTS

All of them are going into the "Start Menu" when holding the start button BEFORE you start the app.
All of them are starting the test if the app is startet.

(Always started from Home Menu!)

Ok, so I think my O3DS will not be of any use. I bought it almost at launch but I updated it till 4.1, after that I installed Menuhax and after that A9LH.

I am getting the fat16 xorpad now with the 4.1 NAND backup I have just to try it out.
Ok, so I got a 000400000F980000.ncch file. I run NCCH Decryptor and it said Exheader / Exefs / Romfs: OK / FAIL/ OK so I guess it doesn't have it.
I tried to do it one more time to see if I got the same result and a message saying "NCCH is not encrypted Success!! 1x processed 0x failed NCCH/NCSD Decryptor succeeded". I don't know what that means so if it is useful for anyone tell me.

EDIT: This is the log:
Processing NCCH "000400000f980000.ncch"
Code / Crypto: CTR-P-3S00 (JPN) / Standard
Decrypt ExHdr/ExeFS/RomFS (2kB/1894kB/11MB)
Verify ExHdr/ExeFS/RomFS: OK/Fail/OK
Failed!
NCCH/NCSD Decryptor: failed!

Press B to return, START to reboot.

Opening /D9Game ...

Success!

1x processed / 0x failed
NCCH/NCSD Decryptor: succeeded!

Press B to return, START to reboot.

I do have the N3DS nand backup I did at stock before I installed anything to it. It was on 9.8 FW if I recall correctly. I Could check it as well but don't know if it will serve any purpose now that the N3DS version is out there.

Corrupted exefs, you can send me it if you want, maybe we get more data from it. But at this point, I think it would need factory firmware, since all the dependences point to factory titles (00040001) instead of retail (00040130)

If you want it I can send it. What do you want, the .ncch file only?

After getting it to work finally, I tested the speakers (Evaluation Menu > Speakers > Debug 3 (Speaker Test)) and noticed the sound on the console and go to 2.0 which is really loud and made me think the following. Is it possible to raise the volume of the speakers through CFW (I'm not sure it is possible right now but in the future perhaps?)

Tried to run ctraging on citra, without any output after it detects the min firmware. Is citra limited to O3DS?

I tried that too, it just blackscreens. I think it just hasn't all functions implemented aging needs for (low-level-)testing.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
