Hacking Official [Source Release] ReiNand CFW

Hmmm, changing to 64k cluster sioze and redNAND gave me a 2 sec faster boot xD
Its now 18 seconds.
Using rei3.6b, redNAND
a9lh using arm9Select.
Guess the only way for a faster boot for me would be to either get a smaller SD (max 64 GB) and/or changing to updated sysNAND.
Damn :/

Edit: I still have to admit that the home menu and other things get loaded a bit faster as well as the lag occuring while changing through titles is almost gone.

Anything extra needed to compile reinand today?

Code:

dd if=build/main.bin of=out/ReiNand.dat bs=512 seek=144
51+1 records in
51+1 records out
26204 bytes (26 kB) copied, 0.017 seconds, 1.5 MB/s
`build/main.bin' -> `out/arm9loaderhax.bin'
ARMIPS Assembler v0.8.0 (Jan 25 2016 00:21:31) by Kingcom
Done.
make: *** loader: No such file or directory.  Stop.
make: *** [out/rei/loader.cxi] Error 2

you need to get the submodules

Hi Rei and anybody else who think they know what's going on; I am experiencing a very strange phenomenon; I'm using a N3DS XL with 2 mem cards that are same model and brand. Both cards can load any arm9 payload (CFW and homebrew) I through at it except for Reinand cfw, it refuse to boot on just one of the two cards? How can that be possible? I have formated this card a couple of times but still, it refuse to boot? I even dug up some other mem cards I had lying around, they too boot with Reinand no problem. How can just one mem card not load Reinand but be able to load AuReiNand? I am direct copying files from confirmed working mem cards.

This seems like an impossible scenario to be in. It's like my nand is saying, don't boot Reinand for this specific mem card. Crazy, I'm banging my head! Next thing I do is a nand restore.

Anyone have any ideas what's going on?

Have you got an emunand on that card? The emunand partition is hidden and doesn't show up in a standard file explorer. If you have one on there and it's corrupt (or from another console), Reinand will probably see it and try to load it, and you'll be stuck with a "brick."

EDIT: Even if you formatted it, you may have only formatted the primary partition, not the entire card.

why does everyone care about booting times so much? don't you leave your 3DS ON (in sleep mode) anyway? do you really turn it off every time you have played?

Cloning into 'loader'...
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
Clone of '[email protected]:Reisyukaku/loader.git' into submodule path 'loader' failed

I don't know how fix that so..

cd ReiNand
git clone https://github.com/Reisyukaku/loader.git
make

It was also looking for makerom in /opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/bin/ but I have mine in /usr/bin but that was an easy fix.

Checked, no emunand partition. That would have been the culprit if there was.
I was experimenting though earlier this week with this sdcards using rednand, but I completely deleted and recreated the partition since. Anyone know what line I have to edit to compile Reinand without loading emunand, then I can check this. Would be interesting to do this test. I deleted and re-created partition a couple of times in Windows and again in Linux

Already use that.

Code:

@echo off
Title = Building ReiNand...
cls
%~d0
cd %~dp0
if exist "ReiNand" (
    xcopy d:\ABuildCFWs\ReiNand\out\* d:\#BuildBackups\ReiNand\ /e /i /y
    cd ReiNand
    Title = Building ReiNand ^(Update^)...
    echo Updating repo...
    git pull origin master
    git submodule update --init --recursive
) else (
    Title = Building ReiNand ^(Clone^)...
    echo Cloning repo...
    git clone --recursive https://github.com/Reisyukaku/ReiNand.git
    cd ReiNand
)
Title = Building ReiNand ^(Clean^)...
make clean
Title = Building ReiNand ^(Release^)...
make
Title =  Building ReiNand ^(Done^)
cd %~dp0
echo.
echo ################################################
color A
echo Done. Files are in the "ReiNand/out" folder.
pause >nul
goto :EOF

I get the same error but it still creates the loader.cxi file

Thanks for this tip, even though I was already aware of this, it made me wonder... yes , it's behaving like there is an emunand!

So I went back.
I literally had to repartition my SD card a number of times with different disk tool to remove Rednand!? To the extent I would caution against using it.

Whats puzzling, all the disk tools I used to delete and recreate a partition after, only showed one fat32 partition yet Redand remained and Reinand wouldn't boot.

I repartition with following;
-Windows disk management - No
-Windows mini partition tool - No
-Linux disk utility - did not remove rednand
-Emunand9 - No, could not remove Rednand
-The official sdcard format tool and Click 'Options' and change FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT to ON.; No, did not boot reinand
-Linux disk utility; did not boot Reinand
-Linux Gparted; finally booted Reinand and removed Rednand.

I think in the end the combination of the official SD format tool windows and Gparted for linux combo is what fixed it, wow, what a hurdle!

If you ever have this problem again and are using Windows 7/8/10 give this video guide a go, it takes a while but has worked 100% for me on all my cards removing partitions with emunands etc...

That sounds like a huge hassle. Glad you got it working, though.

Thanks. I have always been able to remove gateway emunand in the past. Rednand is a different animal.

It just dawned on me, reinand cfw was the only way I could tell that my mem card still had rednand in place.

Hey all. How do I go about playing ambassador titles and vc games on this cfw? Thanks

Do you use updated sysnand with a9lh or sysnand/emunand setup?

I'm not exactly dead for good (yet lol), its just i have enough pressure from IRL stuff that i cant be arsed to keep up with this cfw competition thats somehow became a thing, lol. I've become a little jaded as well. I've asked myself "Why am i risking my health by staying up at 4am trying to push code for ungrateful kids on this shitty site?" lol. Trust me though, i have quite a thick skin so its not the shitposters, but its good to know some people appreciate the work. Its more of the fact that im dealing with some demons IRL and trying to secure my future.
And obviously i want to complete RN though, so.. I'm still sneaking updates in.

There is no competition imho Rei, you made the best foundation for CFW I have tried and honestly between you and Aurora this CFW gives just about everyone anything they could ask for.
If anything the site needs better moderation, things get really stupid fast with off-topic problems etc. There really also shouldn't be any shit posting, since most people are here to contribute to the scene and are very thankful for the help the community provides. People like you have given us a ton of freedom back to our hardware and gaming. I mean looking back and comparing to where we are now is amazing.

Please take care of yourself first, and worry about your real life above all else. If you ever need help we have your back man, even if it's just to talk about things that are bothering you no matter the subject.
