Hacking Official [Release] CakesFW

mid-kid · Aug 11, 2015

Hello guys!

I've been back for a while, but I'm finally starting to work on Cakes again.
First thing I'm going to get done is N3DS support. Thanks to @Reisyukaku, CakeHax now has n3ds MSET support (He's gotten bug reports about 8.1, though.).

It probably won't take long, so stay tuned.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Also, quick PSA:
A lot of files from the CDN have been removed, including, but not limited to, old MSET, SPIDER and NATIVE_FIRM (I managed to retrieve them all from different sources!) versions.
I'm running an effort to obtain a full copy of the CDN.
If you have any files that went missing, check out: http://txti.es/savecdn
Check it out anyway, since it explains a bit more in detail the different things you can do to help.
Thanks in advance.

I'm gonna try to work on that 8.1 stuff, as well, i've had a CakesFW fork on my desktop for over a month with N3DS support, so i'll get around to PR-ing that too ^^

Is there any plan to add CTRDecryptor or something for firmkey.bin?

Yes we do have a plan for that.

DHS patching is not working on my old 3DS (4.5.0-10J). Doesn't it work yet? or did I miss something?

What do you mean by that? Did it crash? No connection? Also by patching do you mean the patch command in DHS or the DHS's cakes failed to load?

I updated my emuNAND to 9.9.0, but it doesn't make difference. It should be difficult to debug because it's freezing while booting NATIVE_FIRM, as you know.

Check your PM.

Time to test some cake on my O3DS, been sitting there for ages but never tried it.
Gonna compile latest github, shouldn't be to hard since everything is setup for compiling rxTools and Reinand

so i suppose all it takes is using:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/mid-kid/CakesForeveryWan.git
and when done go into \CakesForeveryWan and run make
Then get me firmware.bin and use slot0x25KeyX, the same as used in rxTools i suppose and get me my firmkey.bin

Yes that's right. You can always use the released binaries though. That should be the better option.

Nice got it working (Latest Github release, O3DS, SysN:9.2 EmuN:9.9, booted CakeCFW with CN)
Even my legit bought eshop version of Super Smash Bros works (Main reason to switch from rxTools)

Great work, that was damned easy to setup!
Thanks to all who work/contribute to CakeCFW

[EDIT]
@mid-kid
You should update 1st post about the spider launch change posted here
Took me some 37 pages to quick read before i figured out why spider loading didn't work

Main reason for not updating yet is because the latest release on the downloads page still uses the old method.
Don't worry, as it will be updated soon.

Working good here. :-) Cakes 64. Thanks!

Time for a new release: Cakes 85.

Nothing much has changed from the standpoint of the end-user, but we now have n3ds support!
Also updated the CakesROP.nds for n3ds.
Please note that as of now, you can only launch Cakes on n3ds with Cubic Ninja, or MSET 4.x (if you have a ds flashcard. Can't install it without that as of now, sorry!)
If you've missed @b1l1s' release (I was on vacation), here's the changelog and info for that. The basic gist of it is that upgraders from cakes 50 or lower will need to update their bookmarks and/or their MSET ROP (Download the new CakesROP.nds or code.bin).

As always, you can download it here. May the cakes be with you.

EDIT: Please note that you need a 9.5 firmware.bin for n3ds, and a different firmkey.bin than the old 3ds. Also, emuNAND can't be updated over 9.5.

Q: Why should I use this?
A: If you ask yourself that question, this is probably not for you. Other projects already provide a lot of stuff this provides.

All major features it has are explained in the OP. It is up to you to compare.

Oh, was that so?
I've read many comments from people that they have problems setting it up, it's too difficult and/or it isn't well explained in the OP.
I'd appreciate it if someone would make a good tutorial on how to set it up, as it appears I'm not very good at it.
