Homebrew How to coldboot rxTools with [R] trigger?

How to coldboot rxTools (straight into Emunand) with [Left Arrow Key] trigger?

Okay, so I was wondering whether or not somebody has coded a cia file &/or has a boot file, where you'd just need to hit the [Left Arrow Key] trigger to boot up rxTools (straight into EmuNand).

Menuhax is what I use to boot up HBL with the R trigger.

Edit: Ignore all my other posts, except for the one I quoted below.

This is what I was looking to find out:
Not being dependant on the Menuhax trigger button. So have a unique trigger button set altogether.
Example:
- If I hold R (no matter how long), MenuHax appears.
- If I hold L (no matter how long), rxTools appears (UI)
- If I hold the Left arrow key (no matter how long), rxTools appears (straight into Emunand)
- If I hold the Right arrow key (no matter how long), Pasta CFW loads up.

did you search already? look for bootctr or ctrbootmanager

I have 9.2.0-20E (old 3ds) and that didn't work.

Thanks for that. I saw ctrlbootmanger before, but that wasn't what I was looking for. bootctrl on the other hand, I believe is exactly what I wanted.

I'll try it out tomorrow and hopefully it works.

BootCtr - A simple boot manager for 3DS

Loading the code.bin file from the rx tools sys folder isn't really good. As you have to press A and then press Y (load into emunand).

So, does anybody know how to boot up rxtools instantly into EmuNand?

Edit:
Nevermind. I figured out this problem.

Eh, as far as I recall, if you don't press nothing (L forces the menu) during boot, rxtools boots directly to emunand.
There's an option to Force-UI in the rxtools menu, look if that's unchecked.

Also there's no need for CTRBootManager or BootCtr. Configure menuhax to run with R and then just rename the rxtools.3dsx as boot.3dsx replacing it at the SD root. (This will delete HBL in the process)

Oh, I just figred out why.
I configured rxTools to boot up with L.
This causes my rxTools boot up to show the UI.
So yeah, I'm going to change my HBL default button to R.

Also there's no need for CTRBootManager or BootCtr. Configure menuhax to run with R and then just rename the rxtools.3dsx as boot.3dsx replacing it at the SD root. (This will delete HBL in the process)

This is what I currently have (with BootCtrl & MenuHax installed - R being the boot startup):
- If I keep my hand on R, rxTools will load up (immediately boots straight into EmuNand).
- If I keep my hand on R, but let go straight after the grey screen appears, it will load into HBL.
- Doing nothing (default) to boot up the sysNand (normal).

This is what I would prefer, but I don't know how:
- Left Arrow Key to boot up HBL (no matter how long I keep my finger on the Left Arrow Key).
- R to boot up rxTools straight into Emunand (no matter how long I keep my finger on R).
- Doing nothing (default) to boot up the sysNand (normal).

in fact, bootctr is the perfect choice to me too, your NAND's are linked?

Nope, they're separated.

This is what I would prefer, but I don't know how:

- R to boot up rxTools straight into Emunand (no matter how long I keep my finger on R).
- Doing nothing (default) to boot up the sysNand (normal).

I'm not sure how to configure Menuhax to make what I want possible.

 

[MAXLEMPIRA]

ok look, to go into SysNAND without touch any button, you should select Type 1 on the Homemenuhax Installer, then in BootCTR, on your Config.ini, put these:
[KEY_L]
path =/boot.3dsx

[KEY_R]
path =/rxTools.3dsx (or wathever you will use for rxTools)
delay = 150 (Worked for me)
offset = 0x12000
payload = -1

EDIT: to use BootCTR, first you should press L when you boot your 3DS, then at the Menuhax image press R to rxTools or continue with L to HBL
and then, that should work for you and what you want

EDIT 2: Forgot to mention that if you put first these:

[DEFAULT]
path =/rxTools.3dsx (or wathever you will use for rxTools)
delay = 150 (Worked for me)
offset = 0x12000
payload = -1

instead of KEY_R, when you press L to boot into Homemennuhax, then if you press nothing, rxTools will launch automatically

That's what I want to avoid doing though.

I just want to load up rxTools by keeping my hand on R. Nothing else.
Likewise, I want to load up HBL with the left arrow key and nothing else.

Forgot this...

instead of KEY_R, when you press L to boot into Homemennuhax, then if you press nothing, rxTools will launch automatically

If that don't like you, your only option is to change R to L, launch rxTools with L until rxTools slpash shows up and press R to Launch HBL

Maybe you can ask for someone who know programming for you to make that BootCTR boot with R instead of L

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

With DEFAULT options, you need to press L just to launch Homemenuhax, after that, you don't need to keep pressing for rxTools, but if you want HBL, then keep pressing L for it, it's the most closest thing for what you want

This is what I've done so far:
I've changed the trigger button for MenuHax into Type 1: R.
In the Config.ini file (bootctr)
[DEFAULT]
path = /menu.3dsx
[KEY_L]
path = /rxTools/sys/code.bin
payload = 1
offset = 0x12000
delay = 100
[KEY_R]
path = /borx.3dsx
delay = 100

What this means:
- If I hold R until the Menuhax image appears and then let go, I will open the HBL.
- If I hold R throughout (so even after Menuhax image appears), I will open up rxTools (boots straight into Emunand)
- If I hold R until the Menuhax image appears and then switch to L, I will open the rxTools (I can configure the settings - so the UI appears).
- If I press nothing, I will load into sysNand (normal).

This is what I was looking to find out:
Not being dependant on the Menuhax trigger button. So have a unique trigger button set altogether.

- If I hold R (no matter how long), MenuHax appears.

So, does anybody know how to boot up rxtools instantly into EmuNand?

 

[bitjacker]

does one have to be on sysnand 9x to do autoboot?

 

[MAXLEMPIRA]

Let me guess... when you set Homemenuhax, and put option 2, it let's you to set some buttons and create a File on the SDCard, so, maybe modifying that file, that could be possible, I will try to open it with a Hex Editor and Visual Basic to see what I can find.

does one have to be on sysnand 9x to do autoboot?

Actually 9.2 for CFW's, or >9.3 for HBL

 

[dpad_5678]

does one have to be on sysnand 9x to do autoboot?

9.0 - 9.2 : Can Autoboot Homebrew And/or CFW

9.3 - 10.3 : Can Only Autoboot Homebrew

 

[bitjacker]

what is stopping this from happening for the few of us that stayed on 4x?

I've uploaded all my files (except the code.bin within rxTools).

*Edited Out*

 

[MAXLEMPIRA]

nowpe, it's on the main code of Homemenuhax, we should give an eye to change that config, and set L -> HBL, R -> boot2
then for rxTools Options and rxEmuNAND... that maybe have to be a configuration for rxTools and not with Homemenuhax

Look the Best you are gonna get is CTR boot manager and heres the reason why.

No matter what you hold Menuhax doesnt register the Keypress UNTIL the logo appears.

Thats because its still executing code before hand hence the colour rainbow you get.

editing the menuhax file wont fix that


also this seems wrong especially since you run CTR

[KEY_R]
path = /borx.3dsx
delay = 100

try

[KEY_R]
path = /3DS/menuhax_manager/menuhax_manager.3dsx


You dont need delays they could also be contributing to the keys not working also never seen payload=bin for rxtools in ctr before

also quote from CTR

- It can boot some arm9 payload "*.bin/dat" or ".3dsx" files from a crappy file manager if needed.

needless say menuhax may not even load from autoboot in the first place regarldless of the boot manager
