Hacking [Release] Yellows8's Homebrew Launcher Loader for CFW users (.cia HBL Launcher!)

[cvskid]

Works fine for me on gateway 3ds emunand 9.9 and rxtools emunand 9.9.

you can't exit to the home menu when you're done

L+R+DOWN+B until the pink screen

 

[ayanekochan]

yeah exactly i don't get whats the big deal?
you can just launch a CN CIA and in 2 more clicks you do the same thing it's not like it's signed right?

Doesn't work for those of us that use autoboot, CN CIA would only launch the existing boot.3dsx file which would not be the 3dsx for hbl if autobooting.

Still a pretty hacky way of having to do it, lol.

its only a cia for 9.2?

Had the wifi on at the time so it downloaded through wifi but offline doesnt work. I downloaded the otherapp payload for 9.9 but unsure how to set it up on the sd card. it should be like this?

hblauncherloader/otherapp/payload/OLD-9-9-0-26-USA.bin?

Heh, at least it works.
Any idea if that works with a Cubic Ninja .cia? Or only that homebrew hbl loader?

Hold Y while you start up the thing and it will save the payload to SD card after it downloads it. It will then work offline.

No, it goes on the root of your sd card named as follows (the underscores are needed): hblauncherloader_otherapp_payload_OLD-9-9-0-26-USA.bin

Heh, at least it works.

I guess so, but it's extremely prone to human reaction times and error. I've tried like 5 times so far and I just keep freezing the 3DS (I don't have the best reaction times, I admit). It's faster for me to just go back into ctrbootmanager and just hit reset with how finnicky it is. :\

works flawlessly on my 10.3 emunand, o3ds.
coldboot RXtools with crtbm, but with some payload.bin editing, it works without having to hold button to intercept crtbm. all thanks to Hayleia!

(ninja'd) also for those who has trouble getting it to make it booting offline (need to be connected to wifi on every run). try hold y when it is downloading payload i don't know why, but downloaded payload didn't get stored on my SD everytime the loader downloads it if i don't hold y button, resulting on the next run it'll say cannot find the payload and try to download it again, thus needing internet connection every single time.

Pretty awesome news, but I have a question - since we're going to be running this HBL from emunand, will the .3dsx homebrew apps be able to access things like dynarec and other CFW-exclusive things? I personally can't think of a way it would - and in that case we might be better off using the .cia version of certain apps like the Retroarch emulators.

The slashes should be underlines.

I think it's possible but we have to find the way to do the kernelhax in the booting of the launcher

Probably not, since libkhax and stuff would be patched (due to having an emuNAND on 9.3+). I'll try it in a minute though with gpSP.

Edit: No dynarec with this on emuNAND 9.3+, it looks like (expected). gpSP's options don't show dynarec, but I'll check pcsx too just to be safe. and pcsx is slow as molasses. So yeah, no dynarec with this method if you're on emuNAND 9.3+.

Thank you. Everything works fine now.

For those having issues getting it working, you could perhaps try downloading the payload manually and putting it on your SD card:

1. Go to http://smealum.github.io/3ds
2. Scroll down and download the "otherapp" payload for your firmware
3. Rename it to hblauncher_otherapp_payload_XXX_Y-Y-Y-Y-ZZZ.bin, where XXX is OLD or NEW (old 3ds or new 3ds), Y-Y-Y-Y is your firmware version, and ZZZ is your region (USA, EUR, JPN, KOR, CHN, TWN).
4. Put it on the root of your sd card.

Then it shouldn't need internet afterward.

If you're having problems with autobooting stuff, people have already mentioned using a hex editor or notepad/whatever to edit the payload.

Edit: Looked in the source, it's definitely JPN for Japan.

I use SVDT and Save manager and they both lock up on 2.5 payloads so... Anyone have the otherapp payload for Ninjhax 2.1 9.5.0.23U please?? Otherwise this is really not going to work on my homebrews.

Just go to http://smealum.github.io/3ds and download it there (hit the otherapp button, not the ropbin button).

Edit: Or did you mean 2.1 payloads? I have no clue where to get those anymore, sorry.

Downloads 2.5 only

I wonder how he managed to edit the red 3ds wave logo into that homebrew one. I'm pretty sure makerom isn't doing that (and I don't see anything in the source related to it, but maybe I'm blind)..
