This should work on all consoles and regions, but it requires the developer version of luma and the firmware.bin from the luma3ds wiki (Hint: the link to the archive is somewhere on the "Installation and Upgrade" page.)

If it doesn't, post the pidf.dmp here :)

So the one from the wiki is the latest 11.0 firmware.bin? Coz I'm a little confused, because the guide said 3.x-4.x nands but looking at the file it says it has been uploaded like a week ago.

Yeah, you use a modern firmware.bin to launch old NANDs. I know it's a bit confusing :P

Cool. Now if someone made BootNTR Selector compatible, too.
If they want to add it, sure. Here's a link to the source: https://github.com/astronautlevel2/BootNTR/

I know almost nothing about ROP, so I can't really help with that :P

Well if it works the way I think it does, then updating the ROP payload will probably be more complicated. Am I correct in thinking that fixing BootNTR is more or less "just" a matter of finding the correct memory offsets and updating BootNTR to use them, much in the same way a gameshark/game genie code would be updated to work with a v1.1 or v1.2 ROM?

Kind of, you can take a decrypted k11 binary from 11.0 and 11.1 and look at what data was at the 11.0 offsets and find the corresponding data in the 11.1 binary.

The only issue is the dbgKernelCacheInterface offsets, which seems to have offsets that are out of range of k11. They're probably other k11 objects in axiwram that aren't in the main binary, and some reversing work is required to find the offsets for those.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    i dont have an sd card adapter but I have an usb sd card adapter

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
