Homebrew SigHax Updates and Discussion Thread

[Nyako]

You can easily convert most old .bin payloads to .firm. Though not all of them will work properly

Yeah, I know about them, I just mean without a converter (like firmtool).

Still wondering if it would be possible to launch existing arm9 payloads with sighax.

Actually, I am using the converted Ctrbootmanager9 converted to .firm format. I can launch .bin files again from that from b9s. At least with decrypt9

For those have 3Dsafe installed, here is the solution : How to remove 3Dsafe to install B9S

So what age of hacking is this?

On twitter I called it the antimatter age (sounded the best/most futuristic to me), but there might be some sort of better description for it. Platinum?

is the files9 folder still needed? If so, whats still important?

Out of curiousity does sighax installation via DSIWare work with any Dsiware Game ? or does it have to be specifically with the games mentioned on 3ds.guide

I have converted all my systems from A9LH to B9S (except 2, that are in for reapair with @gamesquest1 )

I have a question:

I boot 1 O3DS XL with B9S into sysnand (there's no Emunand)
I boot my other systems (N3DS, N3DSXL and O3DS) with B9S and boot into Emunand
Now i like to convert my Emunand to sysnand and get rid of the emunand on those systems
Can i just make an EmuNAND dump with Decrypt9, then write it to the sysnand with Decrypt9 (as done in the past)
OR
Do i need to copy the boot.firm into the Emunand CTRNAND first with GodMode9
then make an emunand image backup and restore it to sysnand with Decrypt9 ?

You can delete this folder. It is just the temporary directory for Decrypt9

any compatible one works afaik

Hey so does this break ntr? A lot of things break ntr...

is this a serious question?

Too subtle? I need to work on my sarcasm.

It's too obvious. like noone can be that dumb and think that a modified firm partition will lead to issued in booting ntr to ram

you'd be surprised.

Derrek's release is essentially the equivalent of directly installing something Luma to your NAND and giving it a sighax signature. It'll be slightly faster since it doesn't have any intermediary payload such as boot9strap, but it also would be more dangerous to update and maintain because you'd have to write to NAND for every update rather than just putting a new boot.firm on your SD.

thanks for the clear info... now i understand whats sighax/boot9strap difference
