Hacking Question Can you use the SX Dongle to run Hecate instead?

[DEMONDICE]

Just the basic Hecate payload that everyone is using. Not the SX OS itself. Honestly, I'm more interested in having a wireless method of getting into RCM and the dongle would fix that. I don't want to use SX OS and get banned yet. At least not until the games I want are in the shop and I can download them. So is it possible to just launch into Hecate without using SX OS at all?

Not yet, but I believe they are working on it.

You can. In the Options menu, where you can activate the autoRCM you have the Option to inject a different payload which is read from the SD Root.

I tested that already.

Right. It says “launch external payload” or something like that. I am going to check out Hekate before registering my dongle.

As of earlier today, ctcaer released a script that converts a payload to a boot.dat that can be started directly by the dongle, and the default payload it does this to is his latest ipl release.
I think someone posted a ready-converted boot.dat of it, probably in the SX OS 1.3 unpacker thread in the backup loader section.

I was thinking of the same, the big advantage of the dongle is to get rid of the PC/Phone!

Yeah. You can load directly whatever you want with this. At least now, this overpriced dongle, can be used for legit cases.

Ok cool. Thanks for the info guys. My dongle isn't here yet, but I just wanted to know my options. I'll wait out the SX OS until there is more info on the bans. At least I can wirelessly boot into Hecate now. Awesome!
