Homebrew Any CIA entrance to Homebrew Launcher in CFWs?

[LunaLogic]

Noob question, yet I haven't found anything like this. Despite exploits like Ninjhax or Oot3Dhax or somewhat, is there any homebrew(something in CIA format, so I can easily access HBL in CFWs) that can run HBL directly?
Or maybe, something that can run *.3dsx or *.bin?

Have fun.

try homebrew launcher .cia

you found it here in gbatemp

You could also use a .cia of Cubic Ninja or Ironhax and then set up the exploit with them.

Don't forget to hold Y to save the payload when starting the CIA.

 

[LunaLogic]

Thanks guys, that's EXACTLY what I want

What does this cia launch exactly? Does it contain its own hbl, or does it load a 3dsx file? (which would be the hbl then of course)

It launches the latest hax payload for your 3DS, so it would look for whatever boot.3dsx is on your SD card, unless you manually edit the payload after it's downloaded.

The problem with this is you can't have sysnand hax launch something different. I ended up having to use CtrBootManager or something and just add rxTools and HBL to that. Then I can launch the HBL from CFW and select Homebrew Loader instead of rxTools.

I've seen people suggesting to hex edit the payload so it points to another 3dsx besides boot.3dsx, but that doesn't do anything besides change the name of the .3dsx the payload launches. The same end can be achieved by just renaming a .3dsx to boot.3dsx and replacing the one on the SD card root.

What I do is have my HomeMenuHax payload point to boot.3dsx so it boots directly into CtrBootManager which waits three seconds then boots into rxTools, and I have my Homebrew Loader Launcher payload (for my EmuNAND) point to menu.3dsx which is my Homebrew Loader. I also have CtrBootManager have the menu.3dsx as an option. This way I can easily go into the Hombrew Loader from SysNAND or EmuNAND without any hassle.

If you use CtrBootManager to autoboot, and you want use homebrew loader to boot hbl on emunand, you will need edit the hax of boot.3dsx

I used this tutorial to get it.

That's exactly the point though, by editing either of the payloads, you can have separate 3dsx files that boot, with no need for the middleman menu unless you want it. I chose to edit the sysNAND payload on my setup, which boots into ReiNAND unless I hold R (thanks to BootCTR), upon which time I get the HB Grid launcher, Decrypt9, or other options thanks to CTRBM instead. It's not neccessary to edit payloads, no, but it's useful in some situations, like mine.

It's pretty basic, I wouldn't say it needs a tutorial. Just go into the payload and hexedit "boot.3dsx" to anything else with the same number of characters. I think it should be pretty obvious what doing that means.

But that would take up a uneconomic amount of data on the SD card.

I think I've missed something. You're using multiple payloads? One for sysNAND and one for EmuNAND?

Yes. One payload for HomeMenuHax (for SysNAND) and another for Homebrew Launcher Loader (for EmuNAND).

 

[Ar7ific1al]

Yes. One payload for HomeMenuHax (for SysNAND) and another for Homebrew Launcher Loader (for EmuNAND).

Can you elaborate, please? I just have one payload for menuhax which my sysnand uses to launch CtrBootManager. The HBL CIA in my emunand uses the same payload.

The HB launcher CIA uses "hblauncherloader_otherapp_payload (plus some other stuff).bin", and MenuHax uses a different one altogether. If your CIA isn't, try holding down Y when launching it so it saves the payload to your SD card.

That's good to know, thanks very much.

Strangely enough, I did this before but it didn't work. Now, however, it works fine? I don't understand it but I'm not going to complain. LOL I now have coldboot to CtrBootManager, which autoboots rxTools EmuNAND, and the HBL CIA in my EmuNAND now launches HBL. With just the one payload.

How did you manage that? I coldboot RXTools and Gateway but my HBL .cia just boots to a black screen even when downloading the new payload by holding "y" whilst booting up.
