Hey all, was wondering, I can only find the homebrew loader that downloads the payload from http. Is there a homebrew loader cia that won't interfere with my payload? Thanks in advanced for replies!

What is your setup? Ctrbootmanager
I was preferably wanting to be able to boot it from the emunand homemenu as its not just for me but for a few friends too.

All of them are 9.2, booting into menuhax, loading CTRBootManager, and loading /rxTools/sys/code.bin.

All emunands are uptodate and 03ds.

The first time you launch it downloads the payload and then crashes. You need to launch it a second time
Tried it. Says it downloaded the payload, then dumps to red/black screen.

Well there's the issue. You have CTRbootmanager. The hbloader CIA loads up you boot.3dsx which just makes it attempt to load CTRbootmanager again.

It won't work unless you edit the payload. (This is the reason why I decided not to use it and did not go any further with it)

Well shit. I've tried the hex edit the payload trick, I've tried using CTR buttons to boot once the payload goes through. Well shit.... I'm genuinely wondering why there isn't a full proper homebrew launcher from emunand in a proper all-in-one cia...

Yellows8 HBL loader does what it is supposed to do. It loads boot.3dsx and he isn't to blame if you replace that with something else.

So you have two possibilites. Either you name your HBL to boot.3dsx again, and rename your Ctrbootmanager to something else (like ctrb.3dsx) and then hexedit your menuhax payload to load ctrb instead of boot.3dsx - then yellows8 launcher will load HBL as intended. Or you edit the yellows8 payload that is downloaded to load whatever your HBL 3dsx is called at the moment.

It is extremely easy to solve this problem. The topic that @Xenosaiga linked to you has the answer on the first page.

I'll paste here the answer that I gave to another user yesterday:

You have to edit the menuhax payload (the .bin file) on the root of your SD card.

Open it (you can use HxD editor for that) and search for 'boot.3dsx'. Change it to anything that also have four letters (I use CTRB.3dsx).

After that change the boot.3dsx from CtrBootManager to CTRB.3dsx. The boot_hb.3dsx shoukd be renamed to boot.3dsx. Don't forget to change your boot.cfg to reflect this (boot_hb to boot).


You can even alter the payload using your notepad.

Yellows8 HBL loader does what it is supposed to do. It loads boot.3dsx and he isn't to blame if you replace that with something else.

So you have two possibilites. Either you name your HBL to boot.3dsx again, and rename your Ctrbootmanager to something else (like ctrb.3dsx) and then hexedit your menuhax payload to load ctrb instead of boot.3dsx - then yellows8 launcher will load HBL as intended. Or you edit the yellows8 payload that is downloaded to load whatever your HBL 3dsx is called at the moment.

I wouldn't changed yellows8 payload because it will change with every new firmware. I think it's easier to change the menuhax payload.

Honestly, for simplicity's sake, I would just keep it where you turn off the 3DS and boot Homebrew launcher from your CTRbootmanager. But that's just me and what I would do.

I basically have no choice to. But its rather annoying, as if I do that, PhHex and PHBank don't detect my games.

This is essentially my setup

MenuHax>CTRManager>Nothing=rxtools/sys/code.bin
R=brew.3dsx

I go into Homebrew Launcher, but after picking the app, it tells me I must pick a target. My games don't show up so i ca#t use PHBank/PhHex on them. :/

Ah... Yeah... Well if you absolutely need to use them right now then you will have to go through the whole process of setting up and editing payloads.

But if you can wait a CIA version of PCHex++ and PHBank are both in the works but with an undetermined release time.

Guess I'll have to wait so! Big shame that. Oh well! Thanks for the help folks!

It takes like two minutes to edit it the way you need it.
If you are reluctant to do so, or just think you can't do it, then the fault's on you.
Dude, I did as the guides said. It didn't work. At the very least I've found I can edit from a cart version, so that'll have to do for now.
