Hacking The status of Gateway and A9LH

[satelman]

@Kazuma77 cant you make a payload_stage2_2.bin to load launcher.dat "B" button instead of liomajor's X + Y so it would be compatible with his build?

Yes, it would be really nice to have @liomajor's stage_2 payloads but with 'simplified key presses', like B instead of X + Y, and A instead of X + A.

How should/could this be done?

Does this three stage system finally work on o3ds/2ds systems, too?

Are this Payloads now Compatible with O3DS XL or not?

Most O3ds just flash the red screen then turn off the power,but few of them success,so u can just try it yourself

Not sure why. But under gateway, I lost my stable 3d. Boot into Luma everything is perfect. Does it considers with the 3.7.1 or with the new stage?

You can close the lid and reopen and the 3D will be fixed.

All three payloads are written with his arm9loaderhax.bin to the nand. He explained it pretty well. You can change the behavior what payload loads at start if you rename them (Button combos are hardcoded in payload_stage1.bin). for example renaming "payload_stage2_2.bin" to"payload_stage2.bin" and installing them will load GW without a button pressed.

Ah so it's possible to load Gateway on boot without any button presses and have Luma load with maybe X + Y instead? I'm still trying to wrap my head around it but I don't have time to get my otp as it is already evening in my place and I'm a bit sleepy...

Yeah I read about it but wanted to know if it's gateway fault or random? If never had it in Luma only.

I think I will give the steps provided by liomajor on page 16 of this thread a try on my O3DS XL. But before I will make sure that I can revert back to my normal A9LH payload and just because I like to be really carefull with this stuff will also do a nand backup before hand. Will report back if I had any success or not

Gateway. Other CFWs implemented a fix for it awhile back, Gateway still hasn't.

Again. Not the payload_stage2 are defining the keys its payload_stage1. @Kazuma77 posted on page 17 alternative simple key presses. But he didn't implement the 2nd button combination in his payload.

So I just tried the setup as described in this post without success. I used the arm9loaderhax.bin of the safeA9LHinstaller provided on page 16 to update my Luma A9LH installation but just get a short red flashing screen when I try holding X+Y upon booting my O3DS to load the GW 3.7.1 launcher.dat from the sd card inside the console. Since I don't know where the error could be as of yet, I'm going back to my normal A9LH until things start developing a bit further.

I know about that, but then, do you mean that @Kazuma77's stage_1 payload works with @liomajor's stage_2 payloads without any issues?

Yes Im using them right now. e.g. I hold START at boot and Im greeted with ctrbootmanager (the normal a9lh process) and if I hold nothing GW a9lh boots.

I consider to compile the stage1 payload myself because I need a 2nd buttoncombo for luma3ds without bootmanager. My current setup breaks DS Game support when loading emunand.

Wait, wait, wait. I have an OTP.bin I extracted months ago and I can still use Gateway even if I installed Luma3ds a9lh? With the easy installer few pages back? N3DSLL JPN.

I think it only works with new 3ds.

Can someone !!!with a hardmod!!! test my payload please? I compiled the payload_stage1.bin with the following code from liomajor:

Spoiler

#include "common.h"
#include "sdmmc.h"
#include "i2c.h"
#define HID_PAD  ((~*(u16*)0x10146000) & 0xFFF)
#define BUTTON_A  (1 << 0)
#define BUTTON_B  (1 << 1)

u16 pressed;

int main()
{
  // Initialize sdcard and nand
  *(vu32*)0x10000020 = 0;
  *(vu32*)0x10000020 = 0x340;
  sdmmc_sdcard_init();

  pressed = HID_PAD;

  if (pressed & BUTTON_A) //if a button is pressed
  {
  //Jump to alternate stage2
  sdmmc_nand_readsectors(0x5A000, 0x20, (u8*)0x08006000);
  }
  else
  {
  //jump to normal stage2
  sdmmc_nand_readsectors(0x5C000, 0x20, (u8*)0x08006000);
  }
  // Jump to secondary payload
  ((void (*)())0x08006000)();
  return 0;
}

I didn't mess with it I just want to know if I've got working binaries (it should work though). I don't have a hardmod so I can't risk anything.

Hi I successfully installed the payload to boot the GW on my 3DSXL (using X+Y on boot).

Is there any way to also boot luma3ds using another button combination ? thx

 

[satelman]

Yes Im using them right now. e.g. I hold START at boot and Im greeted with ctrbootmanager (the normal a9lh process) and if I hold nothing GW a9lh boots.

Interesting, that will be a useful addition, no doubt.

 

[japram]

got it work with press B hotkey stage 1 from kazuma77 and the rest from liomajor

- n3ds sysnand v11 + a9lh
- gw 4.0 alpha
