Hacking [Tutorial] How to convert Arm9LoaderHax payloads to FIRMS

[Majickhat55]

I'm not sure but wouldn't Gateway have to support B9S for it to load .firm over .bin? Unless you chainload it through Luma I guess.....

It doesn't work for me with Luma chainload.
Seems it need an update.

.firm for Emunand9 -latest version 20160919. Tested and working.

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

https://d0k3.secretalgorithm.com
Could you redo it for Decrypt9 (20170414), EmuNAND9 (20170118), and Hourglass9 (20170320)?

Here are the one's you requested.... I also included SafeMode9 (20170415) and SafeCTRTransfer (20170508).

Help if I uploaded them. Sorry for the 3x post.

Gateway firm payload if no one did convert it yet

Doesn't work (At least for me with Luma chainload).
If I need some extra files or put the file(s) in a specific route tell me and I will try it.

Currently every CFW converted with that tool fails to boot, I would know because I sent both Corbenik and ReiNAND to test. Both of them resulted in a black soft-locked screen and chances are extremely high that gateway will result in the same thing.

Yeah he said it didn't work. Good to know though! Thanks for testing the others

Testing random stuff is what I do best

Well if anyone cares, I tried it with Bootanim9 as well to no avail. Even tried editing the payload to look for "boot9.firm" instead of arm9payload, and same thing. I'll wait for someone else or @Wolfvak to look into it.

I heavily suggest you suggest this on this his thread
https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-bootanim9-custom-boot-animations-for-arm9loaderhax.420202/
He tends to respond better when you keep suggestions, issues, etc., contained to the main thread.

I already have, Lol. I just wanted to mention it here as well in case others thought it might work.

Looking at the way luma is converted to a firm, it uses the elf file and not the a9lh.bin. Try using that instead for Corbenik and other CFW's. The command would be firmtool build test.firm -e 0 -D <.elf> -C NDMA

I will give them quick test later since I am actually extremely tired. Spending the whole night testing and working on sighax related stuff can tire a girl out.

I would do it myself, but I'm too lazy to figure out how to use corbenik

I think it might just be faster if I hit up one of my friends to help out then. Sending a few messages, testing will happen when I awake from my dark slumber.
Edit: Turns out one of the builds was already made with the .elf version. So that won't work either.

Could you please download the arm9 payloads and convert them please since this application doesn't work on my computer

i just gave it a try it works but doesnt, when it launches a (renamed copy of luma's new boot.firm to .bin) luma shits itself when booted in this manner :/ CTRBootmanager needs an actual update i'm afraid.

Gateway firm payload if no one did convert it yet

Thanks for convert. Work fine.

Tried to convert the linux for 3ds .bin (http://gbatemp.net/threads/release-linux-for-the-3ds.407187/)
It failed to run properly, seemingly due to it trying to load an additional .bin somewhere in the process which won't work.

Same, it hangs when loading /linux/arm9linuxfw.bin . Oh well.

Uncart works fine, however.

Gateway firm payload if no one did convert it yet

I tried to, but the arm9payload.bin for Gateway I found on the site was only like 6kb, and when I converted it 7.05kb. I'm curious if the payload you used was larger, or if you did something differently.

Can someone please convert BootCTR9.bin to firm from this version https://github.com/hartmannaf/BootCtr9/releases/tag/Pre-v1.0 because i cant
