Homebrew ARM9Loader -- Technical Details and Discussion

[dark_samus3]

Well, I guess that the only issue should be reiNAND splash screen not shown?

Issue is/was assumptions on the MPU permissions... Since the FIRM hasn't set those up properly they need to be set manually (at least that's my understanding)

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Are we going to see feature rich CFWs compared to PSP? Compatiblity with existing A9 payloads is a treating starting point, but what about more extensive modifications to sysmodules and native_firm to add extra features (a plugin interface that's flexible that what NTR provides atm, for example)

Up until now it hasn't really been the most feasible option... I suspect now that we can cold boot into a sigpatched environment we'll see things really start to take advantage of it

I heard this will be able to unbrick a N3DS, how is that?

If you're bricked right now it can't do anything for you.

Isn't it supposed to be "bruteforced" on N3DS with a raspberry pi?

If you don't have OTP, that would probably be the idea.

 

[A_Bricked_Guy]

If you get your otp dumped, with it can you create a whole nand for your 3DS? I mean, does it store all the unique data every console has?

Does anyone have an EU Update Package?

If you need to ask, you shouldn't be installing arm9loaderhax.

Why not? Just to be ready, we'll need those files sooner or later.

 

[Nintendo4DSXL]

The only files that i found are incomplete and i dont have acces to a 3ds with 2.1.0 sysNAND or lower

If you even had the idea of copying the otp from another 3DS you REALLY shouldn't be installing arm9loaderhax!

We have 4/5 bricks right now!

 

[Nintendo4DSXL]

I mean to dump the system titles from an another 3ds not to dump the otp from that 3ds

I think the only complete EUR pack is a 2.2. which according to someone works
(cubic method)

Well, sticking to MenuHax then, waiting for an end-user solution. Keep up with the good work.

I need to advise users that N3DS consoles should NOT be updated from <3.x via game cards. It'll put you on an O3DS firmware, and there's a high chance you'll have a basic brick.

I believe that there is a workaround to make Decrypt9 work in <3.x right? to use nand dumps and revert to 4x/9x.

I have a basic NAND writer finished, it just needs to be tested.

 

[Sylthos]

Is it required to update to 4.5 (or whatever fw) after otp dump, re-gaining *hax and updating to 9.2?
Wouldn't it be sufficient downgrading -> dump otp -> restore sysNAND with hardmod ?

Just asking because some guides are doing it the first way.

Wait till you actually need it, running the risk this early on is not only pointless, but very potentially more dangerous than waiting it out until this is actually required. Let the guys with the hardmods take the risks first.
