Homebrew .CIA=PIRACY?

[NCDyson]

Does anyone know why it seems like CirtAGB doesn't work as .cia (Which services are needed?)

only reason I can think of would be that the dynarec isn't compatible with .cia homebrew yet?

Mine's working, don't remember compiling it myself though so I'm not sure where it came from.

It's so funny, because I keep going back and forth between working on implementing the hb: service for .cia files, and writing a legal devmenu equivalent, but I'm glad someone else is getting around to replacing devmenu.
I'd really like to see how home menu reads the .banner and .code section of the installed .cias. Would be massively more helpful if we got the app name(where possible) instead of just the id, but I dunno if I feel like digging through all of that asm any time soon.

hb service is unusefull for CIA using, i use am service, not hb (hb is used by lpp-3ds to boot 3DSX files on ninjhax).
devMenu replacement is almost finished, listing and installing CIA works good but i'm having issues with uninstall feature.
When i fix it, i'll release it.

Righty-o
It's up here if anyone wants to try it

Buggy but it suits me fine, I run Quirky's gba homebrew (Lords of Midnight, Chaos) with it, does the job nicely

This kind of solidifies my point about cia compiling issues, shit happens, it's great to have a dev compiled cia available when possible. Still can't remember compiling this though... Maybe I sleep-compiled ??

Thanks! it worked (The banner is the default one but no biggy)

I may have sleep-compiled after all, banners aren't a big concern for me.

No sound (though at these speeds it wouldn't be pleasant to listen to anyway), X hard quits. I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out, it's a great start.

Yeah, also it doesn't allow you to use the home button which is weird to me. This might be an older version (before dynrec) and might work as cia because of that?
How long have you had the cia?

That's a good point, I jumped on this the second it was released, I figured I'd check on it after a while.
I'll have a go at whipping another cia up now, gimme a tick.

btw ,It's got a dynarec now?

Edit: the home button thing rings a bell, someone or another explained how the button works, can't remember who though. Maybe St4rk or Staplebutter early on?

I meant writing a .cia file that implemented the service so that if you wanted to run, say, downloadMii without ninjhax, and actually have it work, you could, without filfat having to add any extra code/compile rules for a ninjhax version AND a .cia version.
3dsxLoader.cia would just setup the service and boot the .3dsx file it was told to boot. Would also benefit users if for instance, as mentioned in the original post of this thread, a homebrew developer decided ONLY to release a .3dsx version, and didn't also release the source.

Pretty sure it has dynrec now.

ONE of the gba emulators had a dynarec. I thought it might be citrAGB, but it could of been the other one. I'm guessing nobody reads the threads of the homebrew they download anymore?

It should be possible, but who's going to do it (I would like a mod of the homebrew launcher so you boot the homebrew launcher as a cia and that allows you to boot 3dsx files probably best way as the homebrew launcher looks nice!)

No the other one does not have dynrec, it's cirtAGB then

I'll release a CIA manager which works with libctru sooner so devmenu will be replaceable with something legal.

Would be nice !

Is BigBlueMenu legal? I'm using it right now it's not Nintendo's anyway... Just wondering!

BigBlueMenu is a Nintendo software built for 3DS devkits. [Is just an updated version of devMenu]

So why does it play the homebrew channel sound an looks like a child made the icon and banner?
Not to mention that it's author (as in the menu) is BigBlueBox who dump 3ds/cia roms

Because it was decrypted and rebuilt with a custom banner and sound, BBB appear to have the dev keys needed to do that.
