Hacking Ninjhax as CIA? Possible?

[Joe88]

mine works fine? i use a .cia from some ''3ds iso'' site

No I'm talking about a stand alone homebrew launcher, which doesnt use cubic ninja at all to launch
Somebody created them from the source but they are more or less useless in their current state

I'm hoping for a stand alone launcher as well, especially for people who miss the requirements by an inch. For example I have 4.5.0.0 CFW but only 4.5.0.7 and up is supported.

 

[Vappy]

It supports from 4.0.0-7, so if you're on anything 4.5 you should be covered

It should I think, this what I see

Spoiler

I cant go any lower then -7, when I tested it out it just gets stuck at 70%

Same here, except I have 4.1.0-4. I thought it was originally thought the .cia I made was bad and that the last number wouldn't matter but idk

maybe someone can make a romhack of Cubic Ninja with smea's custom stage already embedded as one of the stock levels. So you choose the level you want according to what firmware you are on.

It would be easier to just make the homebrew launcher able to run directly as a .cia or .3DS, because if you can run a hacked ROM, you can run homebrew.

Homebrew launcher installed as CIA is working fine! Someone send me a banner and I'll release it.

EDIT: Apps don't launch.

 

[Joe88]

same problem
someone released it with the blarg banner, starts up but crashes the 3ds when you launch anything

You can use Gateways original 1.0 Firmware and a ROM with a compatible firmware to update your SysNAND. Newer Gateway launchers won't work because of firmware spoofing.

^I think they mean converting the Homebrew Launcher itself into a .cia, so that it doesn't need to be run through Cubic Ninja.

I would like this as having a separate list for homebrew (rather than cluttering up the Gateway menu) would be handy. Plus sound support with homebrew on the Gateway is still ropey.

Exactly that's what I mean. Plus it'd make a bit more sense like how it's done on the Wii, you could have each homebrew application installed as a channel (CIA) or all homebrew applications in one nice container (The Homebrew Channel/Launcher). I dunno, just makes more sense and we wouldn't have the confusion of having some homebrew in CIA and some in 3DSX.

Damn I guess the execution environment aint totally similar to the one in SSSPwn that's why the apps are crashing, that's boring

We need to fix this or maybe the gateway team will ? I also asked smealum on twitter but he didn't answer

 

[sj33]

It might simply be not possible if Ninjhax relies on resources that are exposed within Cubic Ninja's usermode but not exposed within standard Gateway mode.

i thought you could use new FW launcher file if you hold up on the dpad when you boot from GW menu?

Oh, if that's a specific feature of the Gateway launcher then that might work. Never heard of if, though.

oops sorry no that is to update emunand with a rom not sysnand , you are right my b

Works for SysNAND too, but only if you don't have any EmuNAND setup. However, this won't help you at all, since game updates are always X.X.X-0 versions. As far as I know, there is no way to update the "-X" by itself. You have to update through System Settings, which brings X.X.X-X up to the most recent versions. X.X.X and -X are two "separate firmwares".

 

[Idaho]

So...

Nothing new in that matter?

Maybe yifan_lu's work on porting homebrew loader to spider3dstools will help to achieve this task...

 

[koyuki_kun]

the thing is a homebrew launcher installed in emunand as a cia, to run homebrew as a .3dsx
