Homebrew CtrBootManager: 3ds boot manager/loader (HomeMenuHax)

[cpasjuste]

Yes, I also tried with 0.
No problem, I will boot 25 times into rxTools using 0 and 25 times using 2, then I'll report the stats.

Many thanks Also take note if it hang on the yellow/colored bottom screen in which case its homemenu hax problem.

Yes, I know about that debug stuff, but thanks for reminding me, I should put it back into the payload install menuhax again...

I seem to only be able to boot consistently when my timeout is set to at least 5 on my o3DS. Anything lower and it crashes 9/10 times.
I have rxTools installed, latest emunand and 9.2.0-20U sysnand.

Changes look good, and seems to run fine on my end.
Thanks for the update and your work and continued support on this project!

Seems to work well for me on both my 3DS XL and my New 3DS XL ever since b07

I just have a weird but not so stupid feature request though, I don't think the current version allows it right now.
So would it be possible to set "Power off" as the default option ?

Why would someone want this ? Well, if your 3DS has "Power off" as default and goes to CTRBootManager's menu when pressing SELECT (or whatever key you want), it makes it near impossible for people other than you to turn your 3DS on, so you avoid problems like a friend updating your firmware and such...

I just tried it, and in fact, both ftbrony and 3DSlink now work for me. There's still the problem / annoyance that for both, I need multiple tries (start app, close app, start app, ...) to succeed. Both apps (ftbrony and 3DSlink) need the wifi connection present right from the start. One way to solve this would be to wait until the wifi connection is established before actually starting the app. Such a feature would require a timeout, of course, because if no wifi network if present we'd otherwise wait till kingdom come.

Custom background\foreground colors maybe?

Normally as soon as wifi is up, it's not disabled until a reboot. But you're right it could be problem if we try to autostart an app that need wifi yes. This is something i could easly add (option wait for wifi with a timeout), i'll try to add that soon.
But for the "netload 3dsx" option, it should not be a problem as, like as said, wifi is already enabled for netload to work, so i don't understand this situation.

Yep, this is something planned (but not "important" to me so i'll come later ).

Testing results on n3ds for
autobootfix = 0 :
boots 41 times out of 50
and
autobootfix = 2 :
boots 50 times out of 50

Thanks ! So i'm keeping the autobootfix option !

You could also auto-detect whether it's an n3DS or an o3DS CBM is running on (check menuhax source for how to).

Yeah, I know, I'm quoting myself. But I found a "solution" and it seems to work even though I'm not sure if it's supposed to...
Just set quick shutdown as the default entry and your 3DS should shut down by default.

if I just fire netload up right away, without waiting, I get: "Err: SOC_buffer", then "Err: netloader_activate". If I wait for a bit (or impatiently try it multiple times), it will eventually work. Still, I'd prefer if the waiting was done automatically .

Is it correct that CBM doesn't need the offset line for PastaCFW.3dsx ? Because it's missing in the sample boot.cfg

Yes, its only needed when booting some payloads (bin) directly.

Sometimes, ctrBM crash when I select RxTools or other tools like HBL.
Freeze on the purple screen.

BTW, for add the HB with folder, what should I do?

 

[Drak0rex]

Would it be possible to give each entry a button command? So if we hold A, it launches entry 2, Hold B to launch entry 3, etc?

 

[Kingofknights]

Seem like i have a different results from everyone. If i set timeout to 1 then it will boot consistently. Timeout 0 make it crash most of the time. Weird
