Hacking Official Corbenik - Another CFW for advanced users (with bytecode patches!)

[The Catboy]

Installing the US version fixed my problem!
Honestly, if you could get those reboot patches working, I would proudly use this CFW as my main!

I love the .hax in the System Settings. Adds a special kind of touch to it.

Can't wait for the reboot patches.

What did you enable for that?

Just the normal recommended stuff in the Readme. Unless I broke something.... >.>...

They were the EU version, checking now and the EU versions are 7.9MB where the US versions are 4.9MB

I downloaded them before he added flags to show the regions the games were coming from.

Well, there we go then.

Working on it now, but it's going pretty rough so far. It'll take a few days at worst. It doesn't help that I apply patches different than every other CFW, and it's probably going to end up a messy mix of Luma and Cakes code.

Oh, and it's near impossible to debug a bad firmlaunch hook.

What did you enable for that?

I should probably rename it but `MSET Version` is the settings string.

'Loader Replacement' is turned off. Go turn it on in Options. None of the loader-based patches will apply without it.

I will fix that in a second, I am downloading/installing some DLC for my games.

Take your time.

I notice you also have Svc replacement off. If you're using 11.0 native_firm, that means no retroarch due to svcbackdoor. Depending on whatever native_firm you're using, you might also want to turn that on while you're in options.

(Speaking of, I should probably log the firmware version. Next release, I guess.)

I'll turn that on as well. Thanks for the advice!
I am seriously loving this CFW. It's advanced, but still adds features like logging that allow diagnosing a problem to be a lot easier. I hate to rag on one issue, but throw in those reboot patches and you will have successfully beaten both SaltFW and CakesFW as my main for my main 3DS!
Also, turned on the patches and it worked~ woooo~

Yaaaaay!

Nah, I get it. O3DS is crap without reboot, and I need it for TWL and AGB too. I'm literally working on reboot now, so when it's done it'll be in next release. It's difficult to debug when things go wrong during reboot (no logging) so it will take a bit longer than the other stuff to test.

 

[DayVeeBoi]

Nice, I was hoping someone was gonna pick up on @yifan_lu cfw concept when I read that write up about it a few months back. Thanks @chaoskagami for getting the ball rolling.

 

[stl25]

Once this develops a little more (AGB/TWL patches), I might try this out as it seems to be coming together nicely. The other CFW devs are enjoying a much needed break so this CFW is front and center for attention. Keeping and eye on this thread. Excellent work @chaoskagami.

 

[Peninsula]

Awesome firmware. I had a couple questions about patches I was hoping someone could explain:

What does 'Title Downgrade Fix' do for FW 11.0?
What does 'RO signature fix' do?

 

[PaiiNSteven]

I've found the firmware and firmkey files from that site, and they're in bin format. Do I just rename them?
side note; you really worked hard on this, and it shows. kickass gui too.

Yup, just rename them

Sorry for the double post, but GBA games dont work. Would this be a firm problem, or some setting i didnt get? I have the agb firm renamed to "agb" and everything.

 

[Melon__Bread]

Q: Why the name?
A: Because .hack > SAO, and it's totally appropriate naming.

Truth!

I will be keeping an eye on this

I'm doing it for fun, really. If I'm being completely honest, I don't like being center of attention. At all.

Awesome firmware. I had a couple questions about patches I was hoping someone could explain:

What does 'Title Downgrade Fix' do for FW 11.0?
What does 'RO signature fix' do?

On 11.0 there was an additional check added to installs to prevent downgrading system titles. That patch removes the check. See here: https://www.3dbrew.org/wiki/11.0.0-33.

RO signature fix is, well, a signature fix for RO. RO is used for loading shared objects (dlls in windows terminology) This is mainly useful for pokemon romhacks and any other situation where a CRO needs to be changed.

Sorry for the double post, but GBA games dont work. Would this be a firm problem, or some setting i didnt get? I have the agb firm renamed to "agb" and everything.

Reboot patch is needed to boot agb_firm, so right now it's using the one off your NAND. Which doesn't have sigs patched, evidently.

I'm going to stop answering this one till next release, guys. I've covered it how many times now?

Custom GBA games do not work yet, the feature will be added in future development.

Custom GBA games are working for me Unless you mean in emuNAND, because I am running on sysNAND.

 

[stl25]

@chaoskagami, sorry I didn't mean attention as in like glory seeking. I meant other CFW projects are slowing down (Luma3DS, ReiNAND, Cakes) so forum surfers will be watching your CFW thread closely as we are all peasants who want something new to experience on our 3DS. Bad choice of wording on my part.

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

Custom GBA games are working for me

you probably already have patched AGB/TWL cias installed to NAND.

I think most people are referring to the ability to play custom GBA from NAND like Luma3DS allows (on the fly patching rather than installing the patched cias to NAND)
