Homebrew ARM9Loader -- Technical Details and Discussion

[4gionz]

Why not? Why can't Gateway Laucher.dat be executed by a9lh?

I think is has to do with encryption? Gateway would have to add support themselves or someone would have to do way more work than is needed since cfw which is what 99% of devs use is already bootable

Edit: super ninjad

Thanks

No. Why would it ? The Launcher.dat is encrypted, and contains arm11 and arm9 kernel exploits, which are executed by it.

Hm, ok - point taken.
What other possibilities are there to boot into Gateway - maybe with AuReiNand?

Boot into sigpatched sysnand and use the homebrew launcher cia to boot into gateway. That's the closest you will get.

HBL_CIA on 9.2 FIRM and GW.3dsx.

Outch ... then I don't really need a9lh I thought this would make booting Gateway faster and more stable ...

There is a way, tho: don't use Gateway.

Haha ... good idea ... and maybe I stop using my 3DS at all ... would give me more time for doing better things

If you want this to work with gateway, you'll have to wait until gateway figure out how to make use of this vulnerability (AKA soon™).

 

[Urbanshadow]

@Apache Thunder Can you

If you want this to work with gateway, you'll have to wait until gateway figure out how to make use of this vulnerability (AKA never).

That was a perfect but wasted ocassion to use the soon™

 

[AtlasFontaine]

What are you talking about, I clearly said soon™ :^)

Use this, then make it boot AuReiNAND automatically, then set Decrypt9 to boot with something like R (as L boots your other NAND).

Question:

When N3DS downgraded to 2.x (to dump otp.bin), it runs SPIDER browser or SKATER browser?

 

[FenrirWolf]

Spider, I think. There is no 2.1 for N3DS so you're running O3DS firmware when you downgrade that far.

Spider.
O3DS browser is Spider.

 

[tivu100]

Spider, I think.

Spider.
O3DS browser is Spider.

If N3DS is able to run SPIDER, is there a way to force N3DS to run 9.2.0-20 with SPIDER browser version instead of SKATER (for QR RAM injection, Pokemon gen thingy)?

 

[FenrirWolf]

Possibly? I wouldn't know the specifics of that, myself. You can use homebrew programs like PCHex or one of its variants for the purpose of genning Pokemon though.

No, not without signpatches.

 

[tivu100]

No, not without signpatches.

I don;t get this. Doesn't running Aureinand cfw with arm9lh enable sig patches on sysnand?

I know. Just like the idea to be able to easily scan QR code online on N3DS and share than going save dumping & injecting.

Is there a way to run linked NANDs arm9lh without the gift error similar to this https://gbatemp.net/threads/howto-menuhax-on-linked-nands.403441/ ? (Those use menuhax + chmm 2.5 - mod to do the trick)
