Thanks for the hint! I fixed it (in both projects) by updating buildtools to the most recent version.

The same error happens in A9NC

I already updated the buildtools submodule (for A9NC, too), it should work again.

I (and others) still get the same error with CTRXplorer (and A9NC):

Thanks for the report @DjoeN

Yeah @d0k3 .. This problem happens with 3 apps that I know use build tools. A9NC, CTRXplorer, and CIAngel. But now I can see that it works fine with CIAngel. So it's just your tools now.
I initially thought it might be something @Steveice10 has to fix (still might be.. CIAngel might've just specified a specific commit of buildtools to check out with) but I'm not really sure anymore

Updating the submodule commit in the applications' repositories should fix the issue.

 

[hobbledehoy899]

Would it be possible to add SD-Card unmounting?

 

[Madridi]

@d0k3

What's interesting to note about buildtools in both CTRXplorer and A9NC, is that when you actually click on that submodule on github, it returns a 404 page error. Like Steveice10 said, I think you have to update the submodule commit

 

[d0k3]

Would it be possible to add SD-Card unmounting?

Pulling the SD card out when homemenu is running equals pulling the harddrive out when running Windows from it, so you answer this .

I (and others) still get the same error with CTRXplorer (and A9NC):

So I skimmed through and didn't see any new news on it from what I can tell. Have you implemented browsing files on sysnand(emunand)?
I'm having the issue with my NNID when trying to access eshop and someone has suggested doing this "delete the system save game for the act module which is where NNID info is stored. use rxtools to extract ctrnand.bin from emunand (make a backup before you do this). Then use WinImage to edit the decrypted FAT16 file. You should delete the the save game for act module located at Data\ID0\000202C0 for USA consoles."
With a nand file browser I could just navigate to Data\ID0\000202C0 and delete the the save game. Since I can't get rxtools to work even though reinand works just fine.
I'm referencing a post in this thread https://gbatemp.net/threads/cant-access-eshop-with-emunand.419398/

Just take a look at GodMode9 (in my signature) instead, and read the readme for info on how to boot it. Enabling NAND access (the same way @Steveice10 does it in FBI) was considered for this, but I'd rather not. It's enough if I have one file explorer for the dangerous stuff .

IT's possible to add a warning / protect on only the "Nintendo 3DS" folder?
To prevent from accidental deletion.

 

[d0k3]

We have a new CTRXplorer release, everyone!

I know a lot of you have been waiting for this, this is new:

• Implemented touchscreen keyboard for various string inputs
• New flashy banner sound thanks to Krude
• Compatible with most recent citrus & libctru
• Various smaller fixes and improvements

Just so there's no confusion... the toucscreen keyboard is pulled up via 'R' in the string input dialog at the moment. swkbd (that's the native 3DS keyboard) does not allow anything to be displayed on the top screen atm (at least not in conjunction with CTRXplorers libs), so the handling is not perfect yet. I guess it is acceptable though, and it will improve.

Thanks for the release.
I'd assume the req for building has changed? Maybe added hbkb library? Or is it different?

Newest ctrulib, newest citrus, that's all . The keyboard is in ctrulib.
