N3DS 8.1.0-0J user here with Gateway being launched with MSET. I've read threads that the FW I have can't launch RXTools since it doesn't have a web browser, but what bothers me is that I have MSET with Gateway and also people are saying that I can't make use of that MSET exploit to launch RXTools either. Correct me if I'm wrong, MSET doesn't need the browser right? I haven't really tried to tinker much with modifying anything aside from what I read from tutorials as I am afraid of a brick, so I just want to know what's stopping people from using Gateway MSET to launch RXTools on any N3DS without a browser?

RXTools has it's own MSET payload, you just have to use that instead. I'm not sure if it has it for N3DS though, i have an O3DS.

They just point to different locations.

rxtools mset is setting the mset exploit to run rxtools.dat. gateway's is setting it to run launcher.dat. You can rename whatever you want in the place of the files they intended you to use to run them.

There was Pasta CFW which *was* compatible with GW MSET, which is the reason I still use it as all you need to do is swap out the SD card. Of course, because the payload is loader.dat

It would be interesting to know why rxTools (other than on purpose to make it suck to switch between CFW and GW) cannot use "loader.dat" and use the same addresses.

If i do use the .nds file that's with RXTools to use the payload, would I be able to just load it?

Is it really that simple? then why are people saying you can't load RXTools in 8.1.0-0J then?

Sorry, I didn't realize 8.1 was different, i thought it would be the same as any other downgraded system settings.

How come Gateway only has one configuration for all N3DS? Is this their company trade secret that nobody knows how to use yet?

Since nobody as publically cracked their encryption to see their rop chain for 8.1 we are forced to dump ram sectors one by one and build the rop chain from the ground up.

is it that complicated to reroute the file that is being launched from launcher.dat to rxtools.dat?

Dude...stop trying to make things sound so simple. People are already telling you it doesn't work the way you think it does. Look into doing a back up of your sysnand, update it to 9.1/9.2, do another backup and make sure its name different so you can tell which sysnand is which, and knock yourself out with whatever mset you want to use.

Waiting for them to say how easy it is to update from 8.1 and make a new post

i'm trying to actually ask proper questions here, you don't have to go on every 8.1.0-0J topic and shitpost on it. instead of telling me "NO YOU CAN'T", why not tell me WHY? if i had the luxury of having a hardmod or shitloads of cash to buy 3DSes, i would have done it myself.

The payloads in the 8.1 ROP aren't documented or known

GW Launcher is heavily encrypted, so there's no way to easily figure out what it's doing.

If someone discovers the series of ROP that GW is using, then they can fix it to work with RXTools. Though it's probably unlikely unless someone figures it out via memory/stack dumps or someone reverses GW code (highly unlikely)

I explained in good detail as to why it won't work so you got your answer, you just don't like it because it is not what you where looking for

As I mentioned before I only know of one person working on it and they are 95% close to 8.1 mset and I am not ready to release 8.1 to 9.1 so it's happening just not publically anymore
