Hacking rxTools with Signatures patched out!

[DSoryu]

@AHP_person will it be a possibility to have a version with both Sm4ash/MH4 and AGB/TWL support ina single .dat?

The reboot and MPU patches block twl and agb stuff, and I have no idea how to get around that.

Here are some neat little tricks:

You can xor 0B 3C E6 39 4D 9F 5B 4C @ 0x26754 of rxTools, and that'll display "RX-S" and "RX-E" which you can edit and re-xor to have whatever you want displayed in System settings. (Personally I revert "RX-S" back to "Ver.")

You can chop off the last 0x110000 bytes of rxTools.dat, that's a little over a mb.

You can write 72 5B 48 14 0C F4 5D 93 A2 6C 35 FF 29 83 53 41 @ 0x40A31 to have the slot 0x25 keyX load from the first 0x10 bytes of rxTools.dat. You'll have to paste the key in yourself, of course.

Nice. Thanks for those tips !

Is there a way for me to get emunand without a flash cart?

If you're on 9.2 or lower, yes, but unless you're on 4.5 or lower you won't have any way to install cia's. To install emuNAND on anything from 4.0.0-7 to 9.2.0-20:

1. Back up everything on your SD card, cuz it's gonna get formatted. (Also be aware that you're going to lose 1 GB of SD card space)
2. Grab the public beta archive from here: http://www.gateway-3ds.com/downloads/
3. Stick the launcher.dat from the "GW_Ultra_X.X.X(Public Beta)" folder on the root of your SD card
4. Put the SD card in the 3DS
5. Open the internet browser and go to http://dukesrg.no-ip.org/3ds/go.html
6. Pick "Launcher.dat" and hit Launch
7. Select "Format EmuNAND" from the menu that appears.
8. Copy all the files you backed up back onto your SD card.

That should work. If I knew your specific FW version I could give you a direct QR.

From then on, use rxTools to boot into it - grab the original rxTools package from the original thread: https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-rxtools-roxas75-3ds-toolkit-fw-2-0-9-2.382782/ then put the firmware.bin you get from the program in that, the rxTools.dat from THIS thread, and you're probably gonna want a slot0x25KeyX.bin on the SD card too, but you can search for that yourself. Once you have those three files (rxTools.dat, firmware.bin, slot0x25KeyX.bin) on your SD card, you can point your 3DS browser at http://launch.rxtools.net/rxTools to boot it.

If any of the "browser" steps don't work, try clearing cookies and history.

Thanks! I was wondering why rx tools wasn't working, because I thought I use that to make the emunand. But, rx tools is just for launching it...

It kills MSET compatibility, isn't it?

I would think you'd be able to boot rxTools anyway, unless this patched version doesn't support sysNAND. The original does. Is your 3DS over 9.2 or something?

Edit: ...Oh, and this is an -old- 3DS, right? Not a New 3DS?

Yes. I should probably mention that, thanks.

 

[Suiginou]

That makes me wonder what archive format rxTools uses after decryption.

And it seems the decryption routine changed from Gateway; else, using xor to modify a string in the code wouldn't work (iirc gateway uses addition).

 

[Dt123]

So, I have emunand updated to the latest firmware using the rxtools in this thread. Once i backup my games via gateway, how do I go about launching them? Also, can i transfer save files? Finally, I'd like to play RF4 since it hasn't been released in the EU physically, if I import it , how would I go about playing it. I've read that I'll need Bigbluemenu and palantine cfw? Where do i go from here to achieve this? Also, another guide said I should've installed NVRAM before emunand.

 

[VerseHell]

You are supposed to install BBM (or another cia instaler) before setting up your emunand.
What's your firmware? Is it a 2DS or a 3DS? Do you have CN?

 

[Dt123]

Original 3DSXL sysnand is 9.0...I don't have CN, but i do have a DSTWO.Somebody told me yesterday it was possible to do the above and the instructions he linked only told me to install emunand... Can somebody link me to where I should go from here?

Does anyone have problem with installing legit cia in rxmode?
I used devmenu to install MarioKart (with legit cia) .The install was successful but the game icon not show up.If i boot into emunand with gw ,the icon showed up,but not in rxmode.

P/s : sorry for my bad English.

Did you install the game to sysnand or emunand? If you installed to sysnand, try uninstalling it and re-installing it while running rxTools. Otherwise, I'm not sure.

Edit: Oh and make sure you have the right region version too

Do I still need Pasta or PBT to install a cia? And if not, does it matter if it's a non-legit or legit cia?

For the time being, yes, you'll need one or the other. I'm not sure whether or not (this version of) rxTools supports running Ninjhax (that's a question for @AHP_person ) so for now PBT/Palantine is probably your best bet for the initial installation of FBI or BBB/BRM.

My current setup is 4.5 with Pasta/rxtools. I use Pasta to install games and dump and inject the title.db to play the games in rxtools. What I'm wondering is if I still need Pasta now where everyting is set up and just use rxtools to install my games.

Well, if you have some form of cia installer already installed on the 3DS, then you should be all set. FBI, BBB, etc. all work just fine from within rxTools, even after updating emuNAND to 9.8.

Edit: Oh, and don't dump/inject your ticket.db if you do update emuNAND, it screws up system titles, including System Settings, and you won't be able to get it to do anything.

That's great. Thank you!

edit
It doesn't matter if the game legit or not, right?

edit2
I'm daft. Obviously it doesn't matter, that's the whole point of this mod.
