Hacking Official [Source Release] ReiNand CFW

[Classicgamer]

Ok, pushed some code!
Mostly refactoring but also added reboot patch and other memes (like optional duel splash!). Thanks to @CrimsonMaple for helping out anyway he can!
I'm teaching him how to be leet and stuff. x3
He tried implementing some features, i mainly cleaned up the code so it would compile and work and whatnot, so thanks to him and those he may have borrowed code from.

what is unified firmware binary?
what kind of clean up/refactoring?

I'm super interested in the technical side of it

Unified Firmware Binary, means we only need one firmware.bin and it works in both consoles.
And we cleaned up MCU code to better fit it for future updates. Stuff like that.

Reboot patches working, but Animal Crossing 1.1 doesn't boot. You need to update the firmware.bin to 11.0+

Awesome! I'll continue to work on Firmware.bin support for 11.0+! Thanks for the feedback!

basically i just combined 2 firm images into 1 file lmao
As for refactoring, the biggest thing is probably the MPU patch. It's no longer simply copy and paste a random buffer of settings over the settings in kernel, it now lets you customize it because it calculates the numbers used by the kernel for the mpu settings. Only memory permissions though(no need for the other stuff).
Oh also got rid of main.c lol.. start.s just calls the functions it needs.. so rip main()
Nothing else exciting comes to mind. I just wanted to try to consolidate stuff and make things flexible.

Forgot to mention, bootsplashes also don't appear to be working on old3DS.

Oh dear. That's gonna be fun.

odd. works on my o3ds dev unit

Actually, I think it's my 3DS that is the issue. I went and tested on another CFW and the bootsplash didn't work either.

I'll steal my friends o3ds to see if this is a bug tomarrow. He shouldn't mind.

Actually this was my fault. I forgot to name the launcher to "arm9loaderhax_si.bin" renamed it and it working now.
I adore the new blootsplash <3
GBA/DSi still haven't been patched though.

Yea, its on the list of things to do. 11.x firm breaks emu patches for some reason and havent even looked in to patching firms outside of native firm, so i need to think about how i'd do that in way thats not to messy, since im trying to make this cfw modular as possible.

That's rather odd.
IIRC, GBA/DSi still use the same reboot patch, you just need to patch the FIRMs to use them.

What do you mean? I haven't tried 5.0 yet, still using 4.1 & emunand. When I boot a GBA game (from emunand, duplicate on sysnand) it loads fine. Going back to home menu reboots the system to sysnand for save with no input from me.

Am I misunderstanding something?

im guessing shes talking about the cfw doing signature patches for those, like luma does, instead of needing prepatched twl/agb firms. i dont think reinand added that

Like @tvall just posted, it seems you have pre patched TWL/AGB firm. Rei is looking for a solution for those of us who do not want to install pre patched firms.

Did you apply the old TWL/AGB patches to the NAND?

Shoutout to @aurorawright who I did steal code from! It was mostly yours. I just tweaked it. And I think I stole some code from @chaoskagami too! So thanks guys!

@TuxSH

I used an old patch. Before Tux was working on the project. Unless I'm mistaken and he was.
