Hacking 11.0.0-33 : The Aftermath

[osm70]

I am writing this to help clear up a lot of misinformation that's going around regarding exactly what changed and how this affects the scene going forward.


svcBackdoor11

• This function, which is used for many arm11 kernel applications such as BootNTR and RetroArch, was completely removed. This will temporarily break applications that use it unless you are running the latest Luma3DS commit

Really? I just updated my emunand and NTR still works fine. I use Gateway.

Probably using an older NFIRM

I didn't touch that. I don't use older NFIRM, unless Gateway does that on its own.

You have to be. BootNTR doesn't support anything newer than 10.2 NFIRM, even with svcbackdoor11

Probably one of the main benefits of Gateway. Everything just works. I didn't touch that at all.

Gateway bundles a specific version of FIRM with every update they release, they don't use the one from NAND, so that's why your setup is still working as it is, while other CFWs that load from NAND primarily were broken for a day.

>It just werks
That's probably because they store firmware in their 3dsx/dat

 

[Swiftloke]

Eh, he's got a point. With gateway piracy couldn't possibly be more simple.

Maybe devs could just take off the svcBackdoor() code from a older firmware.bin using a disassembler, and implement it in ctrulib.
And then homebrews that use svcBackdooor11 will work again on the lastest firmware

svcBackDoor is in the firmware of the 3ds and as such would need to be implemented into the firmware of the 3ds. CFW can patch it back in however (latest Luma commits already do this)

It will "just work" right up until 11.1.0 requires the latest firm version and it fails to boot because brickway embeds whichever old firmware version they use in the dat file.

Like it happens all the time? When I am forced to not update until GW team updates the launcher?

 

[Critichart]

Please i need help. I've been off for a while and i don't know what's going on. I have a 10. Something version and i'd like to be on the latest (to acces miiverse and eShop) is it safe to update? I use emunand (i think i never should touch sysnand) also, what is rednand? I thought it was called reinand, and vvvvvv has a entrypoint now? Thanks

Nintendo hasn't updated their minor revision since 9.6. Once either the home menu or errdisp gets updated you *will* be locked out until GW updates their launcher.

 

[Reecey]

before everyone jumps on me and says "read", I'm sorry if this has been answered all ready but I don't tend to keep tracks on 3ds anymore but if your using gateway Emunand is it ok to update to the new Firmware on a N3DSXL's? or not its brocken, you have to wait for an update by the team.

 

[roelex]

I've got a O3ds on sysmenu 4.4 running GW. I updated the emunand in settings. Now when I try to load games in emunand, it says, no game inserted.
edit: launcher.dat(latest)

gods its practically impossible to get in using oothax rn im in hell

So EmuNAND on N3DS for non-Arm9 users appears broken.. at least for me.
Planning to Install Arm9 either when GW makes it easier or I've finished reading up on it so I don't brick a lovely red N3DS console.
Interestingly RxTools still works on my O3DS so not in a huge rush.

Unless you want to patch SecureInfo... Or use a decent CFW... or read manuals on games from CIAs...

And if you don't touch other shit it works fine, the **** are you on about?

Works for me.

Why would I use a CFW when everything I try works?

I can read CIA manuals just fine.
