    Homebrew Wooddumper 3DS - A way to dump original DS games to 3DS sd card!

    Alright, time for me to be that asshole (that's what you all get for me having to be up before 6AM on Friday, not your fault of course). Source code where? Wooddumper IS GPL 3, as far as I can tell. Hell, even if you include it in the zip file that should be enough to comply with the GPL. I'm...

    Homebrew [Announcement?]The Homebrewhub

    As a developer (mostly ARM9 baremetal libraries currently, KGB uses it for example, and one WIP bootloader for a9lh), I actually have my hands bound by my work contract-- I cannot take any money from outside sources without going through some "conflict-of-interest" stuff with legal at work. Thus...

    Homebrew Native Firm question

    Native firm is one of the many parts of the system that are used to launch stuff. Firm proper contains some of the system modules that most of the 3ds applications need, including home menu. Home menu is the one that initiates launching stuff, and eventually asks some system services to launch...

    Homebrew What's the big difference between A9LH v1 and v2?

    I wrote the pull request that is now being called a9lh v2. There shouldn't be any user facing changes. Aurora's installer can now install using 8.1 firm. Tbh, the v1 vs v2 distinction is dumb, since it is pretty much the same codebase, just a different key and load position. I had another pull...

    Hacking [Release] PlaiCDN: Download and create installable CIAs (or .3ds) with just a title ID and titlekey

    FBI can delete said title key as well, at least with the recent release. So that is a solution, albeit a more manual one since you would need to figure out which is the right one you'd have to delete. EDIT: Spelling.

    Hacking [Release] PlaiCDN: Download and create installable CIAs (or .3ds) with just a title ID and titlekey

    Yep. There is a difference between the two due to makerom. If people want to buy the game legitimately later, can't they just delete the current CIA via FBI or their CIA manager of choice? I mean, it's less convenient (use JK Save manager to back up saves I guess), but it is a valid workaround...

    Hacking [Release] PlaiCDN: Download and create installable CIAs (or .3ds) with just a title ID and titlekey

    I rest my case. No need to reply to trolls (sorry dank :) ). cearp, you're not helping your case with comments like these. Also, This doesn't help your case (sorry, this seems contradictory). I'm of the philosophy of help people regardless and let their flippant behavior drag them down, but...

    Hacking [Release] PlaiCDN: Download and create installable CIAs (or .3ds) with just a title ID and titlekey

    Come on, seriously? Are both of you just going to continue bickering? As a fellow developer I am dismayed and disappointed in how both of you are behaving (this is unprofessional, and before anyone says "but homebrew," that's not an excuse). This is not a pissing contest of who has the better...

    Homebrew Homebrew Development

    I got my answer in the 3dsdev development IRC channel. The answer has to do with permissions. The handle that the homebrew apps use by default originally comes from the Homemenu, and brings with it the permissions of the Homemenu. This is why things HBL can see, like the game cart title...

    Homebrew svdt: save data explorer/manager

    You're right, I had forgotten about that (which is ironic, since part of the issue that I had while porting it had to do with reading the darn game data from some process-specific location). I need to do more reading about what exactly is going on with the 3DS both under normal conditions and...

    Homebrew svdt: save data explorer/manager

    I'm currently updating svdt to compile with a newer version of ctrulib. Once I finish with that, and debug some issues I've encountered, I should be able to update the way it builds such that it can generate .cia files. So, soon. Also, if anyone has any documentation about fs:USER system...

    Homebrew Homebrew Development

    This makes sense if in general there only needs to be a single handle per service, but this doesn't seem to be the case for the Filesystem service. Again, for oot3dhax_installer, I had to use fsUseSession() and its counterpart to be able to get a second handle that could then open an Archive to...

    Homebrew Homebrew Development

    Aaah, that makes sense, especially with fsUseSession() being initialized to false (so that the SD access still goes to the original handle). I wish somewhere anything would have mentioned that every archive needs its own handle. The great refactor made me think that wasn't needed anymore. The...

    Homebrew Homebrew Development

    Hey all, As an introduction to 3DS homebrew development, I've taken it upon myself to help port oot3dhax_installer from ctrulib-0.6.0 to ctrulib-1.0.0. At this point, I've got most of the transition done, but there's something that I'm not understanding... I've forked the code to my repository...
