Hacking BootNTR New Version Research

[radlikemydad]

Thanks @Aurora Wright for being awesome as always, credit to her for finding the new offsets for the debug cache.

New release, should actually support 11.2 without freezing this time: https://github.com/astronautlevel2/BootNTR/releases/tag/3.4.2

Tested on 11.2 update and it's 100% working, thanks to all who spent time working on this!

Thanks @Aurora Wright, @astronautlevel and @Nanquitas NTR is full functionality right now

@astronautlevel Do you know if its possible to make bootntr boot in extended memory mode, then enable NTR, and beable to switch to another extended memory mode game? i noticed that when going from one extended memory mode game to another the system doesn't reboot. i tried a test earlier but the system crashed when I pressed home after NTR has been loaded.

..makes me feel disappointed that coding like this takes alot of work for me to understand

Just to be clear...So this update works for n3ds now or is the n3ds fix still being worked on? Thx!!!

This will work on an n3ds, yes.

I got the same idea !! But I didn't test...
Maybe something like an APT call to switch from BootNTR to the game while in the Extended Mode memory would not cause a reboot and perfectly work.

Else @cell9 told us that maybe changing the address of homemenuInjectAddr in the BootNTR would fix the issue.
Just have to find the right one...

Strange! I tried the new NTR release on my n3DS XL console, and it worked like a charm. However, I then tried it on my n3DS (smaller version) and the veiwer shows a white screen. Also, the Nitro Stream prompt states "ERR: Unable to read data from the transport connection: A blocking operation was interrupted by a call to WSACancelBlockingCall."

I have tried deleting and re-installing the CIA file, but that didn't fix it. Does anyone have any ideas?

n3DS XL does not need mode3 extended memory, it works with normal NTR and Pokémon Sun and Moon demo just fine. If it's not working for you it's because of something else, not the mode3 extended memory. What happens when you run BootNTR on your n3DS XL?

Boot ntr runs normal I can stream and etc I see the green flash but cheats don't pop up

Try to either press Select or try to see if a game plugin menu appeared in the X + Y menu.

press Select. If not, your plugin may be corrupted, so re download it and try again.

I remember making a bootntr that had automatic patch locations, the guy did not want to help me get a couple more signatures for that so I never finished it. :-/

 

[astronautlevel]

I've begun work on the program that can automatically find the offsets given an axiwram dump: https://github.com/astronautlevel2/BootNTR/blob/master/tools/locate_offsets.py

Currently it can only find dbgKernelCacheInterfaces because I haven't had much time to work, and chose the thing that seemed to change the most. I'll try to get the other offsets done soon though

I remember back when OFW update 11 was out and the only way to use NTR at the time was to use the Dev build of Luma and the payload files of previous cfw's , are those still required for future updates or should we still keep those for the "just in case" scenarios?

Once the offset finder is complete, future NTR Updates should be very quick - you can keep the firmwares just in case, but they shouldn't be necessary.

They aren't really "required" for future updates, but keep them if ya want, it's not bad to have them
