About a month ago, user @Reisyukaku, the creator of ReiNand on the 3DS, teased that they were in the process of making their new custom firmware. What we initially saw was just a custom splash screen. Now, they've publicly released the highly awaited ReiNX CFW for the Nintendo Switch.

Rei states that this is a simple, modular CFW, and that everything works together independently. They'll also be working on a custom sysmodule for ReiNX, as well. You can check it out and compile it yourself at the GitHub link below.

The modular switch custom firmware

Usage:

Put ReiNX folder on the root of your switch's SD card and run ReiNX.bin with your favorite fusee launcher.

Compiling:

You'll need devkitpro with devkitA64 and run make

Features:

• Loads all KIPs from /ReiNX/sysmodules/ directory
  
  
• Optional custom kernel/secmon/warmboot
  
  
• Default kips with exefs redir from /ReiNX/title/{tid}

Make your own splash screen then, nobody's stopping you.

So what can we do with this CFW currently?

 

[PriMieon]

Without the sig patches, this isn't useful. Boooooo. Give us the sig patches ;(

What are sig patches?
And what's up with that 5 hour meme? xD
Haven't been on gbatemp that much lately :/
Sig patches... Signature patches. Does not require the game to be signed or will skip the signature reading progress... Is that it?

Sick stuff.
Looks like SX OS will slowly get ditched now.

lol wat SX OS is plug and play this isn't! SX OS will have eshop support soon. this won't!

 

[VinsCool]

This will be free at least

 

[CarefulCrysis]

what is cfw and where is my brain? can i sign for the patches plz?

 

[Deleted User]

SX OS will have eshop support soon. this won't!

ReiNX is gonna have sigpatching though? Don't know why you think this won't have support soon.

By eShop support you mean .nsp, because rei is working on it.

But the other thread had some beta testers answering questions. And it seemed like it could play backups from what they were saying.

If that's the case,it was nerfd for release

It would be nice if devs could respond the way CTCaer and rajkosto,they always respond with helpful info.much respect to them

I don't get this thread right now - We already have sigpatches but they currently still follow the requirements the kernel patch once had. Just look at the tinfoil repo and create the sig-patched module from a file you had in your NAND. Its super easy and enough for those desperate enough.

---

Also since I already got asked, SDFilesSwitch will support ReiNX too once it's in a "user-friendlier" state since it seems really easy to maintain and really similar to SwitchBlade (and because Rei is best girl /s)

You not the only one.
Also,good job with SDFilesSwitch.its on my essentials app list

What would be useful for the haters is a quick comparison of the CFW already released. I feel a video incoming, but have a party invite today.

 

[naddel81]

Will it have an xci loader? Or what do I do with all my cartridge dumps?

The only reason this is even out is probably because it was rushed (I presume to one-up Atmosphere). Just look at the features list or the sheer amount of people in this thread begging to know what you can do with it. Seems there isn't really anything to do with it for now, and my former suspicion (a desire to one-up Atmosphere/ReSwitched) seems to be much more accurate (not helped by the various comments supposedly made by Rei on Discord over the past weeks).

Meh. I'll just keep waiting for Atmosphere.

Tbqh, I don't see the point of a 'modular' CFW. It makes support a pain because everyone and their mom is running a different setup. Having a single CFW (like how Luma3DS does it) with a lot of features baked in is much more useful and is much easier to support.

you can always change the splash screen and recompile it if you don't like it.

Is it a dream?? ''PINCH MYSELF'' OUCH!

You know than Luna 3ds is a fork of reinand? Reinand and reiNX are made B the same person
