I have a problem: everytime i launch every version of RxTools (2.6, 3.0 and every nightly build, even the last one) the installation process gets stuck at the third square of the loading bar than shows the INSTALLATION FAILED screen. Then rxTools still boots in emunand but this forces me to wait every time for a process which is assured to fail (not counting the fact that, for this reason, i can't reach the rxTools menu)

it happens via ninjhax and via themehax, even via the browser exploit. With multiple sd cards (the firmware.bin is always downloaded through the script and in the right place)

i can't really figure out the solution.
I'm on 9.2.0 in sysNAND.
Close/Open the 3DS? :v

AGB_FIRM is not installed in either the SysNAND nor the EmuNAND.
It is necessary to have AGB_FIRM installed in at least one of the NANDs. The installation data suite needs that in order to properly parse the Title Key and decrypt the AGB_FIRM copy stored in the firmware.bin file. Otherwise, it'll always fail.

It has not been necessary on my other o3ds. Maybe the reason is i never updated this one via internet? (i did it only via cart)

[EDIT]I installed an agb_firm cia and it finally worked, thanks a lot! I suspect the reason is the updating done only via cart which doesn't install the agb_firm

is coldbooting really worth it? i use Rxtool everyday by booting into the browser and boot into Emunand
You don't need Internet access to coldboot.
He was asking if it is working, not if you need internet access to use it.
You COULD use the browser to install it.

But basically, the Coldboot is done so that you can boot rxTools right when you power on the 3DS, without having to enter any other stuff to enter rxTools.
Just power on, and that's it.

Well, with themehax you have to wait 2 to 4 seconds of blackscreen for sysnand to boot up and theme is exploited. Ideally coldboot should have a chainboot config at hw power on with direct emuNand loading. We're far from that.

Back to my question: Should I expect pasta mode to work on n3ds ? If yes, it isn't working for me. Do I need any special files for that? system details are in my sig. Currently using cbec77e nightly. Open pasta cfw is working fine off hbl btw.

Pasta should boot just fine, I use it in my N3DS through Ninjhax 1.1b.
Exactly how are you trying to boot Pasta?

Pasta cfw is fine. Is Devmode (now known as PastaMode) what is not working for me but I suspect this is known as not working yet (or never) for n3ds.

I thought he was asking if it was worth it. Since he said 'is it worth it' so I gave greatest benefit to it

I already got this one, but would be useful to launch it from rxtools menu instead of fiddling with ctrbootman. I am currently using a modified themehax payload to boot rxtools 3dsx file directly.
ctrbootmananger can boot rxTools directly without that modified rxtools boot.3dsx (it uses the boot.bin inside rxtools folder. It gives even better boot rate as in my test so far). Developers will look at implement Dev mode. For the time being, that mini Pasta is good alternative.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
