Hacking rxTools with Signatures patched out!

[Vappy]

@AHP_person
Do you think it's hard to add region free in rxtools? It makes emunand perfect I think

Might be overall more efficient to change which firm version is loads, making it an exploitable one so that Ninjhax and existing mods would work. But I've no idea how much work might be involved in that.

Don't really think it's needed, because you can make a cia to have region free capabilities during creation

what am i doing wrong
i have an 3ds with 8.1with a linked sysnand and emunand
1.use gateway mode to install fbi
2.download rxtools from here
3.run cdn_firm.exe to get firmware.bin put them both on sd card
4. use 3DSNUS to get 0004013800000202 title v3665
5. patch 0004013800000202.cia with Old3DS_AGB_FIRM_v3665_SignPatcher
6. boot into fbi del 0004013800000202 from nand
7. install 0004013800000202.cia to nand
8.download 3DS Simple GBA Converter v1.2 and a footer for a rom i have
9. boot rxtools install gbarom.cia from fbi
10. click on new icon get black screen

so what am i missing it happens with ever rom i try

edit ok i got it And of course, here is the. did not know that i need the 2nd link here

link: https://mega.co.nz/#!XY1DHZSC!e_0sGG7R65-P_1pwAA1RQcWn7Z0zgjRneZqHCjcHwbk

This version has TWL and AGB title support, but lacks sm4sh and mh4u support: https://mega.co.nz/#!HQdxyJqL!HcNL0FqJ_6FkA-Rf5D94_1OBtOGpfuWLmmKBFCuBr50
NOTE if you have unlinked NANDs: For a GBA or DSi title to run, it needs to exist on sysnand. You can run them on emunand if they are also installed on sysnand.

Install the CIA file on both sysnand and emunand.

Alrighty then, who wants to unpack rxTools and do what they want on their own?

Here are four tools you can use to unpack and repack rxTools.
https://mega.co.nz/#F!Dc8HlRIR!uBhpFbwUWEZ5tRajs-f1lg

rxTools Unpacker:
This tool will decrypt and unpack rxTools for you, and you should get two files: main.dat and filepack.dat.
This utility is drag 'n' drop.

rxTools Packer:
This does the opposite. It will pack and encrypt main.dat and filepack.dat into rxTools.dat.
This utility should be run in the same directory as main.dat and filepack.dat.

filepack Unpacker:
This will unpack filepack.dat, and it should give you four files: file000-003.bin
This utility is drag 'n' drop.

filepack Packer:
This will pack filepack.dat back together.
This utility should be run in the same directory as file000-003.bin

Here are their sources:
rxTools Unpacker: http://pastebin.com/ZWuWc6SV
rxTools Packer: http://pastebin.com/wqEKc7Gi
filepack Unpacker: http://pastebin.com/303DAJ1a
filepack Packer: http://pastebin.com/sfyaRv6X

Extra:

FIRM patches are stored in file002.bin from filepack.dat.

The format of file002.bin is fairly simple:
0x00-0x03: Number of patches.

Directly after are the patches:
0x00-0x03: Offset in FIRM
0x04-0x07: Size of data to write
0x08-0x...: Data to write

If you don't feel like parsing them, they're also here: http://pastebin.com/fazkjHRn

The rxTools splash screen is file003.bin from filepack.dat.
makebgr.bat from here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/release...-x-cfw-with-customizable-boot-options.388071/ does the trick.

Again, thanks to @Apache Thunder for testing.

thanks a lot. which file contain the menu ui?.

Hi, I want to install new SSB DLC CIA, should I uninstall the old DLC Pack before installing the new one?

Simply install the newer one directly using DevMenu/BigblueMenu. If the version is higher, it will replace it. If it's equal or lower, it will say it's already installed

You're implying that most people are willing to go through the process of making their own. Most people don't want to go through that process, but just snag whatever's hanging around on the net.. Also playing retail carts is still a thing.

I hate to be that guy, but is there a guide that shows how to go from 9.2 to having a CIA installer installed on my 3DS?

I've done a lot of PSP hacking on my own before in the past but this seems a lot more complicated and I'm not comfortable doing it without a guide to follow.

Nintendo ist not a member of this forum and not part of the scene. The purpose of this comunity is to work together and against each other. If Roxas decides not to work on rxTools anymore, who will update it whan fw 10.0 gets released. Pissing Roxas of was a incredibly stupid idea, especially since he considered to remove sig checks anyway.

There's no guide for what I asked there.

How do you know he's pissed? He would NEVER remove the sig checks for the public release, even if he wanted to.

Remember what happened to the guy who leaked the Smash Bros. Brawl iso back in 2009? a one million dollars lawsuit...

I think Roxas is pretty OK with this hacked version.

I get an error when I try to launch rxTools or when I try to install mset trough the browser. I have a 4.2 O3DS with palantine CFW

What's your browser's version?

 

[pedrobarca]

I asked him. Something a lot of people could and should have done. Especially AHP_person. But it turns out nobody cared.

He was considering it after Pasta was released and piracy on its way anyway.

Wasn't that New Super Mario Bros. Wii?

 

[Busterman587]

What's your browser's version?

How do I check that?

 

[Vappy]

If he was considering it anyway, I'm not sure why he's quite so upset. Now that the decision has been made for him, he's free to open it up officially but without the burden of responsibility.

Why Wait Im happy @AHP_person did what he did , We can actually progress in the scene even further instead of waiting for ''possible'' sig patches from him

Hes upset because he didn't get to feel special and release it
