Homebrew Alternate/Debug/Test menu working on retail 3DS

[MassExplosion213]

I don't understand...


Oh, so you're suggesting booting to this instead of home menu? Oh and thanks - I'll get back to work on MK7

Oh! Anyway, I mentioned some features only in newer versions.

 

[MassExplosion213]

I think region free + less lag + faster boot time. (All gold cups lol)

You forgot something. The inability to run *hax.

Can't you use homebrew loader CIA tho?
Or does that actually require some home menu components that the test menu just cannot provide?

Nope. *hax in general does Home Menu ROP to be able to even have SD access. Test Menu is a different app, therefore none of the ROP gadgets work. Since the ROP doesn't work, neither does *hax.

So the rop basically has to be converted for the test menu for it to work?

Yes. Not an easy feat. Test Menu doesn't even have a lot of the background services running. Proof: Try this on emuNAND. You can eject the SD and as long as you reinsert before pressing a button, it still works.

This proves that this thread should be moved to the flashcards/custom-firmwares section of the 3DS forum.

This is not a cfw nor a flashcard lol.

 

[hobbledehoy899]

You can only use it with Luma3DS and the end result is Nintendo made software.

 

[MassExplosion213]

This is not a cfw nor a flashcard lol.

But it is also not Homebrew Development or an emulator. Also, it requires a CFW.

 

[PabloMK7]

Well yeah.... admins, do what you think is better

If I'm not wrong, we can do this from long ago. Also it's not usefull, so...

I bet you don't even know what it is.

The thing is is that it has never been this easy to do so until now.

I know well what is this, but I can't see why this could be usefull. Also I have N3DS, so I don't have any lag (using overclok, ofc).

The thing is is that it has never been this easy to do so until now.

That's true, but I still don't know what's new about this. I cannot see anything interesting on it.

 

[PabloMK7]

I cannot see anything interesting on it.

I simply see this interesting because it is part of the production of the 3ds, and I'm curious

i wonder why nitnendo didn't completely removed this stuff... it could have saved some TWL_NAND space...
