Hacking How can I make a cfw

[jimmyj]

i would like to make a very basic cfw but I must know how. Is there a guide or a tutorial that will teach me atleast something about making a 3ds cfw?

 

[jimmyj]

Is there a way please?

 

[jimmyj]

Is that all I can get, a simple no?

How much C and ARM assembly language programming do you know?

You might also want to start off by simply modifying an existing CFW rather than starting from scratch. Check out the Luma3DS git repository and look through the code there.

that's what I want to learn

This is a very important question. If the answer is little to none, you aren't ready for making cfw op

Ya, like what gerbil said, You should start with just forking another, until you know exactly what you are doing, Know what i mean?
But there isn't really a guide on how to make one.

I might get that game, thanks, have YOU played the game?

iirc TIS-100 doesn't teach you an actual existing programming language if it did, I'd have it bought ages ago, I'd be hunting anything that teaches me C and does it in a game's style

dropped it because it was too distracting. I was often finding myself procrastinating on one of it's puzzles in the corner of my draftbook instead of doing actual work

i just read the first chapter and nothing jumps out to me like how to actually code for arm

Not trying to sound rude, but if you have to ask, you're not ready, and you won't be able to accomplish anything. Simple as that.
Take your time and learn to code, then come back in a few years.

yes you are right i think

Or months, you can learn quickly if you put enough effort.

This question sounds like "how do I compose a symphony for an orchestra?" and you don't yet know how to read sheet music.

Edit: others have mentioned needing to know how to program, what you also need is knowing how computers work (registers, instructions, the stack, the heap...) and then learning how the 3DS works, as a type of computer. So you will want to have studied computer science at university, or have some sort of job that involves assembly language (so you end up having to learn about it) or be dedicated so you can find the right resources to learn from (books and web).

Also for CFW base, I recommant a earlier version of Luma or SaltFW, since Luma's code isn't clean anymore.

If you want to deal with hardware, Arduino or the Raspberry Pi would probably be a better place to start since both a better designed for this task than the 3DS and have lots of resources available.

The Raspberry Pi in particular is based on ARM which may make it a good choice for ARM assembly and I am aware that guides exist (but seriously learn the 'basics' first).

Typically high level languages like Java or Python are recommended for learning basic programming, but they are vastly different from low level languages like asm and switching languages does have it's issues (e.g. dealing with variable in c vs Java).

Luma's code is just as good and readable as it ever has been.
