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

[cpasjuste]

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?

Ok, I'll add this very soon.

Nevermind, I found what I was looking for and it works great. http://gbatemp.net/threads/re-release-bootctr-a-simple-boot-manager-for-3ds.401630/

Why is there a fork?

BootCtr is not a fork of CtrBootManager, where did you got this idea? It is a fork of HBL-emergency from @mashers. They basically have similar features, however the development was completely indepedent for the most part (I did get some ideas from CtrBootManager source code, however I ended implementing things differently anyway).

So which is the best one to go with?

Depends entirely what you want. BootCtr does not provide a graphical menu, and this is by design, since I prefer the fact that simply holding a key is faster than selecting a menu entry.

Source code wise IMO, my code is cleaner, however CtrBootManager seems to have more features, some that I don't plan to implement anyway (like netloader).

All I'm interested in is making everything boot far more often than not. Multiple buttons for different programs don't hurt either.

Are your NANDs linked?

I guess there's something wrong with your pasta setup.

Nope, sysnand with the PastaCFW for ninjhax 2

I guess there's something wrong with your pasta setup.

That reboot the 3ds with the reloading of Homehax etc.?

Since you're trying to boot Pasta/a CFW into sysNAND, you have to hold down a button after it starts booting (probably around when it says ----PASTA CFW----), so menuhax won't trigger again. There's nothing for ctrbootmanager to do.

I can't do anything for have menuhax -> ctr -> pastacfw and stop without holding a botton?

Not really, no. If you were using an emuNAND it wouldn't be a problem (you'd just unlink the emuNAND from your sysNAND, and it wouldn't run into a bootloop). You might want to consider switching to holding down a button like L or something for Menuhax to boot Pasta, so that you then just let go once it starts booting.

This open the Pasta Launcher, but don't change anything, still bootloop xD

So the only mode for have menuhax -> ctr -> CFW and stop is with the emuNAND?
Also the other cfw have this "problem" on sysnand?
Thanks

This works ^^

I like the grub bootloader/ubuntu 10 look its got going on, lol. Would be most useful for me if it was via mset though.. and loaded payloads that way

Me too, your boot manager is fantastic!!! Could you add the option "Exit to Home Menu"?

Well, I didn't respond to you until now (didn't wanted to talk about you hijacking my thread) but I do now as i don't agree with you on "your" code being cleaner.

This is why I said IMO (in my opinion), this is not a critic for you or anything.

Edit: ok, you did a edit after my answer. You really think I am hijacking your thread (c'mon, this is a forum, so there are things like "my thread, your thread"? The idea is to have discussion, btw). I was just responding to something someone asked.

I can put some examples on why I think my code is cleaner (that you may or may not agree with me, this is why I said IMO, code aspect varies according to the person), not that it really matters since in the end all people want are features. And I have to agree that you homebrew have way more features than mine, not that it really matters too for me since I am just doing this for fun (and because your homebrew did not supported one user case that I had, now it supports however I invested too much time in BootCtr to drop it now).

can you fix trying to boot into a CFW that has a boot offset of 0x22000 ?

What cfw uses that offset? also I'm pretty sure thats not the issue, but the fact that it probably needs to be linked to 0x23F00000
