[Games&Stuff]

And what exactly can you do with this?

 

[intensje]

yes that's my question too, i have a coldboot to reinaind going atm, but what does this fix that doesnt work well in the 'normal' not hex-edited version?

 

[Trixcalibur]

Hey guys, I have a problem : when I open the ropbin file, it's just random weird characters ... How can I fix that ?

EDIT : OK, I find out by myself

I did this a while ago
[TUTORIAL] Coldboot w/ Homebrew Launcher Support (menuhax & ctrbootmanager)

Spoiler: My boot.cfg

boot_config :
{
  timeout = 0;
  autobootfix = 2;
  recovery = 2;
  default = 0;
  entries = (
    {
      title = "Gate-Way 3DS";
      path = "/gridlauncher/folders/Custom Firmware/GW/GW.3dsx";
      offset = "0x12000";
      key = -1;
    },
    {
      title = "reiNAND CFW";
      path = "/ReiNand.dat";
      offset = "0x12000";
      key = -1;
    },
    {
      title = "Cakes CFW";
      path = "/Cakes.dat";
      offset = "0x12000";
      key = -1;
    },
    {
      title = "rxTools CFW";
      path = "/rxTools/sys/code.bin";
      offset = "0x12000";
      key = -1;
    },
    {
      title = "PastaCFW sysNAND";
      path = "3ds/PastaCFW/loader.bin";
      offset = "0x12000";
      key = -1;
    },
    {
      title = "MiniPasta sysNAND";
      path = "/gridlauncher/folders/Custom Firmware/miniPasta/miniPasta.3dsx";
      key = -1;
    },
    {
      title = "Homebrew Launcher sysNAND";
      path = "/boot.3dsx";
      key = -1;
    },
    {
      title = "emuNAND9";
      path = "/gridlauncher/folders/Utilities/EmuNAND9/EmuNAND9.3dsx";
      key = -1;
    },
    {
      title = "MenuHaxManager sysNAND";
      path = "/gridlauncher/folders/Utilities/menuhax_manager/menuhax_manager.3dsx";
      key = -1;
    } );
  theme :
  {
    bgTop1 = "000000";
    bgTop2 = "252525";
    bgBottom = "000000";
    highlight = "dcdcdc";
    borders = "ffffff";
    font1 = "ffffff";
    font2 = "000000";
  };
};

All good guides and tutos about CFW installation include this so yeah. This is just another tuto yk ^^

Trying to launch the HBL would bring you to your CFW / CBM without this.

@Mistie Very neat and clean tutorial.

I was wondering if you can help me. I have Gateway and Sysnand 9.0 and Gateway Emunand 10.4. I currently use Cubic Ninja to boot into Gateway Menu and then boot into Gateway Emunand EVERYTIME as I really don't wanna mess with my system settings and install an old and outdated system settings just so I can use DS profile exploit or whatever.

Can you please tell me some of the steps that I need to modify in your tutorial so I can have a CLEAN Autoboot into Gateway Emunand?

I would really appreciate the help.

Thanx a lot in advance. Desperately waiting for a reply

PS: I don't use Homebrew Launcher, nor do I have any use of it. A simple, clean, and straight forward autoboot into Gateway Emunand would be PERFECT FOR ME

Instructions can be found in my guide ^^

 

[Mistie]

is this better than using rxtools/reinand's own 3dsx as boot?

I believe it is, because having ctrbootmanager lets you choose what to boot into, So you can either boot into CFW normally and automatically or you can boot into sysNAND's HBL. This way you have access to HBL and CFW without having to use browserhax on sysNAND

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

And what exactly can you do with this?

This will autoboot into CFW but give you the option to boot into sysNAND hbl and make hbl open normally without having to deal with ctrbootmanager.

So with this menuhax with load automatically, go to ctrbootmanager, which will go into CFW without touching the boot.3dsx. So you have the option of going into sysNAND, sysNAND HBL, or CFW.

The HBL doesn't even really work when launched via CtrBootManager so this is also the only way to have 100% working access to the HBL on emuNAND.

I recommend using a hex editor rather than a text editor. The payload is a binary file. Opening and saving it in a text editor risks treating the file as ASCII. Saving the file could then write it in ASCII, which could corrupt the file.

Fantastic tutorial man! Really helpful. It worked great for me.

This. Without doing this, launching the HBL cia from within emunand brings you back to ctrbootmanager. With this method it launches HBL without going back to ctrbootmanager.

 

[mgrev]

Thanks! but is this new? i've done this for a very long time (tm)

 

[D34DL1N3R]

I'm having an odd problem with this method. Once in a while when booting the HBL cia from emunand, it loads Download Play instead of the HBL & neither the home button or L+R+D+B works. Thus forcing me to have to hold the power button to turn off the 3DS. What would be causing it to randomly boot into Download Play instead of the HBL?

9.2 Sysnand
10.5 Emunand (ReiNand 3.2b)
CtrBootManager 1.6
Suloku's HBL

 

[Games&Stuff]

Can someone edit the ropbin of 9.2 for me? If someone would like to do it, ctrm.3dsx is fine... The reason I can't do it is because I can't install programs here and online hex editors don't work.

I apologize I do not know how to help you out ): Never heard of this issues before.

Tell me what 3DS you have, what region it's in, want version it's on.. That kind of stuff.

When you install menuhax what's the name of the payload in the root of your SD?
