Homebrew ARM9Loader -- Technical Details and Discussion

[Shadowtrance]

Well i got past the sd card in issue and now it turns on and stays on with the card in after restoring backup and reinstall arm9loaderhax.
But that's about it, can't seem to get any payload to run...hmm Just lovely black screens lol

Weird. I couldn't get anything to open properly when i used the 1.0E pack.
Doesn't matter, got my otp dumped with 2.2 anyway.

How can we decrypt the firm from nus/cia? This should be the only thing left, to allow me to use arm9loaderhax.

If you have to ask that question you shouldn't be playing with this sort of stuff.

I'll give you a hint... It starts with D and ends in 9.

Well I bricked the first time I stupidly went from 9.2. Went down to 4.3 first on the second time and everything is working on 1.0.

this implementation of arm9loaderhax has compatibility with every payload BRAHMA can run, and that's good. you can firmlaunch by writing at 0x1FFFFFF8.

Good to know and probably why stuff wasn't working properly for me haha Went from 9.2 straight to 1.0.

Have used decrypt9 some time ago, there was no easy way to decrypt system cias at that moment. But now I remember, it got added some time ago.

Hrm, I'll have to try that... thanks for posting that little tip haha, should save me some time

For me going from9.2 to 1.0 worked, but to be able to use the qr reader of cubic ninja I needed to do a system format.

I used the latest sysupdater from github too.

Yeah I'm thinking 9.2 > 1.0 may be too big of a jump down and shit gets screwed. Mine would boot normally, game carts would run but anything else would just sit there at black screens after launching.
Oddly enough 9.2 > 2.2 everything seemed fine.

Man my google fu sucks, can't even find my own pastebin i posted when searching for it. lol

Nope that's not it. I found it but still doesn't show up in any searches for me. No idea why. arm9loaderhax data_input is the title.

Ah right, couldn't find that either. Can you pm me the link for future reference?

 

[apeuls]

Could someone explain to me what the point of this is? Like why would you do all of this? What does this let you do that you can't without it? If someone could PM me the process that would be pretty cool!

Personally, I use 54200000000000000000000000251ABA (BL 0x0808FCE4). It has my favorite number in it. uvu

Well, it's arm9 code execution on cold boot, even earlier than with menuhax, it's technically unpatchable, but it requires an OTP dump (which is what we're trying to get by downgrading to <3.0)
