Homebrew [RELEASE]Quick Payload Switcher

[gnmmarechal]

What is it?

It's a tool that switches "arm9loaderhax.bin" or "arm9loaderhax_si.bin" (or anything else, you have to specify in the config file if it is different) with "arm9loaderhax_switch.bin" (or something else, again).
It's also capable of renaming "arm9loaderhax.bin" to "arm9loaderhax_si.bin" as to toggle screeinit/noscreeinit behaviour on a compatible A9LH installation.

Special Thanks:
@Rinnegatamante for LPP-3DS
@chaoskagami for Corbenik CFW, which is why I made this.

changes payload but does not provide the needed files to boot the payload (like bootanim9)

uh, it renames the payload to the "arm9loaderhax.bin" or "arm9loaderhax_si.bin" default. It obviously assumes you have the needed files (ex. the /luma and /corbenik folders).

I made this for personal use, and it works as intended.

But what if we dont. it would be useful as a CFW swicher of some sort

uh, it IS a CFW switcher. What if you don't? I do not understand. Why would you have the Luma payload if you didn't have the Luma files, and why would you have the Corbenik bin file if you didn't have the Corbenik files? I fail to see what you mean.

I personally use this to switch between corbenik and luma.

what you "fail to see" is that if the arm9 payload came with the CFW files it would be more useful. not sure why you'd have a luma arm9 switcher when you can get hourlies from starupdater

That makes no sense at all, you know? From my point of view anyway, Luma does come with its files. And so does Corbenik. I think you fail to see why I made this - I made this so I could switch between Luma3DS and Corbenik CFW without replacing/renaming payloads. I don't see that StarUpdater has to do with this. StarUpdater updates Luma. Corbenik Updater updates Corbenik. Quick Switcher is neither, and updates neither of them. It simply switches the payload that is booted.

I don't think you are understanding what this does.

I feel a little out of the loop here, but what's so special about "arm9loaderhax_si.bin?"

SI stands for screen init AFAIK

Ah~ so I guess this is related to ShadowNAND/LumaNAND (I don't think she has name for her project yet)

I think so, though i don't know much about screen init myself.

Fair enough. Thanks for the information though Turned out better than what Google was telling me...which got me no where, so I ended up visiting that anime site.

Good job, I don't plan to install this since I use Quick Reboot to switch between Luma, Corbenik and CtrBootManager, but I will keep an eye on this for a future use.
Thanks

Does quick reboot allow you to boot different arm9 payloads?

Of course it does, as long as you use payloads that does have build in screeninit code, you can switch into them with Quick Reboot

Could you link to some documentation about this? I didn't know that Quick Reboot could do that...

This file switcher is only to switch between no init and screen init?

It would be better to implement this to stage 2 via button combo/config.

ShadowNAND does...

No. This switches between arm9loaderhax.bin/arm9loaderhax_si.bin and arm9loaderhax_switch.bin .
