Hacking Pasta CFW - A CFW that allows unsigned CIA to be installed on Old and New 3DS! (required ninjhax)

[LaronX]

What 3DS type, if it's 2DS maybe it's diffrent (I don't think so but it might just be?)

It is a 2DS yes. But I can't see why it would be different.

It has a slightly diffrent FW (Wifi controls only software for instance) which might make the offsets in memory different which would mean it wont work. Again I don't know for sure but it could very well be the case.

It shouldn't be.

Mine also just gives a black screen when you enter the CFW, it wont boot to the system screen. Mines on 4.3.0 -10E the same

I can load it successfully (the payloader) but when I try to run it the top screen stays black.
FW 4.3.0-10E

Did either of you downgrade with the GW launcher? Maybe that causes issues, since it's not a full downgrade. Also read below.

9.2.0-20E aka. 9.2

Not sure about this one. Have you region changed, flashed emuNAND over sysNAND, updated sysNAND from GW mode, anything like that? Maybe the FIRM version is not correct for that firmware because you did any of those things in the past.

The FIRM is the same, I think. So it should work. Maybe brahma itself doesn't work with it?

My FW 4.3.0-10E is OLD3ds and is "original" FW not a downgrade

 

[drumtronic]

Can no one help me with my issue of the payloader? I can load it successfully but when I try to run it the top screen stays black.

Old Nintendo 3DS XL with firmware 9.2.0-20E and same issue.

Ive got it working now the guy above just use the files from page 1 dont use the others they dont work on 4.3.0 10E. Mines boots but how do you install the devmenu?

Yeah dunno.

I didn't I didn't only modification I ever did was ninjhax and that was just a GB emulator and the coin thing.

Okay I got a few questions I really hope someone can ask and help me out on this regard:

1) I have my CN copy QR code used by that of Gateway's launcher. Is there a way I can delete that QR code so I can use it for Ninjhax instead since I am now using the MSET exploit to run GW's emuNAND?

2) Is there a way I can use this in conjunction with GW's emuNAND in anyway?
Wouldn't PastaCFW collide with GW in some form?

3) Do I have to run PastaCFW everytime I want to play any DSiWare/GBA VC titles? (This means CN -> HBL -> Run Bra-thing -> Open CIA)
Or can I simply open them up from sysNAND after doing the initial PastaCFW setup and installing the CIAs to sysNAND?

 

[Reecey]

How do you install the devmenu? anyone please

 

[valyr]

@ LaronX im on a 9.2.0-20e 3dsxl and ive used shadowtrances version

Here's my custom version/s ​

​

Separate versions for each firmware we have offsets for...so:​

N3ds 9.0-9.2​

O3ds 9.0-9.2​

O3ds 8.0-8.1​

O3ds 4.1-4.5​

Full Menu Version​

​

Just pick the one you want, put the CFW_Loader folder in your /3ds folder and run it from ninjhax. Screen will change colour a few times and boot into home menu. ​

Unless you pick the Full menu version of course, then you just do the samebut pick you version when the menu loads. ​

​

Enjoy!​

@ Reecey you need to load the cfw then reload ninjhax and install the devmenu cia with FBI

1. L+R+X+Y
2. Yes as this is sysNAND only (so no collisions)
3. Yes after each reboot of the system

The L+R+X+Y combo, where do I have to do it?
Right in CN's menu or somewhere else?

As for the rest of the answers, thank you, kind user.

Just in the main menu will do and your welcome

Thanks man, whats FBI? I'm only a GW user all this CFW business is brand new to me, am a virgin! I could do with some links/help etc..

 

[ShadowOne333]

Great!
This will open up a shit-load of opportunities for me in terms of apps!
Thank you!

 

[night_hawk]

How do you install the devmenu? anyone please

Again, it's all explained in the op, even with video tutorials.
Launch pasta
Relaunch ninjhax
Use FBI to install devmenu or FBI.cia or bbm
Relaunch pasta

 

[valyr]

@ Reecey FBI is a cia installer that runs on ninjhax you will find it in the homebrew section

capito27 As people have mentioned, it would be a very good idea to put this up on GitHub. I can help manage the repo if you like
Better if people can make pull requests to get their changes merged into one codebase, rather than a bunch of people creating their own modded version of it. It makes collaboration much easier too

 

[LaronX]

valyr: I did that. When starting the loader I the the message:

" AN error has occurred, forcing the software to close. The system will now restart. (Unsaved data may be lost)"

After it restarted I tried again but it kept saying the same. I tried both the version in the folder saying 9.0-9.2 and the one in the Menu_version folder.

This should now detect the right firmware version automatically. If the firmware is unsupported it will display an error and refuse to load the CFW.

Simply replace the arm9payload.bin file from the OP with this one, load brahma and the arm9payload as usual, and press START to load the CFW once you have verified that the detected firmware version looks correct. When enough people confirm it's working, I will make it autoboot the CFW by default so there is no need to press START.

If people have any problems with it detecting the wrong version, simply tell me the contents of the "FIRM: KERNEL:" line, which firmware it detects and which firmware you actually have and I'll have it fixed shortly. Unless there are errors in the list on 3dbrew that shouldn't be an issue though.

Edit: Added source

Tested this and it worked fine on my N3DS running 9.0.0.
