Hacking RELEASE Hekate CTCaer mod v2.3 w/ Fusee kernel patches (LayeredFS support)

Drakia · Jun 18, 2018

Good news everyone, @CTCaer has implemented the Fusee patches directly into his build of Hekate. You can now grab his version from his thread, instead of having to use mine

I recommend using @tomGER's SDFiles, as it makes getting everything setup a snap:

Isn't the kernel illegal to distribute tho?

Yes, which is why this is not a kernel, it is Hekate IPL, which live-patches the kernel on boot to apply the Fusee patches which allow LayeredFS to work correctly.

Thanks for clarifying and thanks for the release

It was getting annoying seeing everyone scramble for a pre-patched kernel, so here's a copy of Hekate with the Fusee kernel patches implemented in it:
https://github.com/TheDgtl/hekate/releases/tag/v2.3-fusee

You will need to add the following line to your hekate_ipl.ini file, right after the list of kip1 files:
fuseepatch=1

This includes the 4.x kernel patch that was committed to fusee today, however I do not have a 4.x console to test on, so it may or may not work. I have tested and verified it is working correctly on 5.1.0.

All other options and such are the same as CTCaer's v2.3 release, he has better docs in the first post here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/rcm-payload-hekate-ctcaer-mod.502604/

I have opened a pull request to CTCaer's version of Hekate, once this has been merged (If it gets merged), I will be closing this thread. Just wanted to get a build out ASAP.

Thanks to @CTCaer for his fork of Hekate, and Naehrwert for Hekate itself

Nice thanks alot this makes things easier for everyone

Wait, this patches the kernel every time? Or does it offer the option to run without patching if I'm trying to run stock fmw?

JaRocker · Jun 18, 2018

hry do i still need to add kip1=fs_mitm.kip kip1=loader.kip kip1=sm.kip

This will only patch the kernel if you're loading via RCM (It's an RCM payload), and have "fuseepatch=1" in the particular Hekate configuration section you're loading.

Yes, this is just dealing with the kernel patch required to run fs_mitm, you still need all 3 kip files loaded

Good work man. Thanks for this

Anyone willing to dumb this down for me, I know what the Layered FS thing is and what to with the Hetake file but like what will this do?

Up until now, to use LayeredFS, you had to use a patched kernel.bin file. This payload allows you to avoid having to use a patched kernel.bin (Since it's Nintendo's copyrighted content, blah blah), by patching the kernel in-memory during startup.

This payload would be used with TegraRcmSmash, or whatever other method of sending an RCM payload you're using, instead of your current Hekate payload .bin file.

Thanks a bunch!

hey i almost forgot to ask did this fix the problem with reopening a game when using LayeredFS ?

This is just the same kernel patch that had been pre-applied to the kernel.bin going around. Any issues it had will still exist in this.

There's been far too much being posted about LayeredFS the past couple days, so I'm not sure what issue you're talking about, but I'd guess it would be more related to Stratosphere's side of things (The LayeredFS fs_mitm.kip file), rather than the kernel patch.

I’ve added fuseepatch=1 and I’m loading the ipl payload but I all I get is a black screen loading any games (for layerfs)

Doing it on the right firmware?
