can this be used to boot the GATEWAY menu from the Launcher.dat file on SD?
Personally I don't believe so. I believe when it launches rxtools and hbl it is booting off the .3dsx. However you could test it by editing the boot cfg and adding one that maybe directed it to the launcher.dat

Only if you have the offset for launch. Which doesnt currently exist.
 
Is there anyway I can change boot.3dsx (rxtools) like rxtools.3dsx for Homemenuhax read?

My only problem is: I want to start HBL in emuNAND but it only reads boot.3dsx (all Ninjhax, IronHax, HBL CIA)

When I choose HBL in CtrBootManager menu, HBL starts in sysNAND, sig check aren't disable so homebrews doesn't recognize CIAs
 
I'm getting poor boot rate in my o3ds with cakes. What's the bootfix value for best boot rate? Need to nail it as near to perfect boot as possible.
Already tried suggested one.

Everything is fine until I try to open an app in the hb menu. After that it instantly crashes.

I'm on a N3DSXL, 100% boot rate with cakes. homemenuhax loads CTR thru ctrb.3dsx (renamed boot.3dsx and hex edited the payload)

boot_config :
{
timeout = 0;
autobootfix = 200;
recovery = 2;
default = 0;
entries = (
{
title = "CakeCFW";
path = "/Cakes.dat";
offset = "0x12000";
},
{
title = "rxTools";
path = "/rxTools/sys/code.bin";
offset = "0x12000";
key = 1;
},
{
title = "Homebrew Menu";
path = "/boot.3dsx";
} );
};

I found your config very helpful for my N3DS

In particular this value autobootfix = 200

I had been autobootfix = 8 With this setting i was getting around 7/10 boot success rate (70%)

Since changing to yours (autobootfix = 200) it has been 9/10 90% (so far)

Primary boot is rxTools btw

Thanks for sharing :)

If you use the latest RxTools 12\05\2015 on N3DS there is no boot issue. I get 100% boot rate with autoboot= (2)\(8)\(200) it doesn't matter. I used to get shotty boot rate with slower class 10 cards as well.

Hi mate, thanks for your reply here, the build i am using is a couple of weeks old and is the one that FONZD or Versehell shared (can't remember now which one) and is pretty reliable as i know a few that are using it, devmode aka pasta mode working etc...

The only minor issue i have is the boot rate, sometimes it can be 5/5 and then others 6/10, it's a really weird one tbh, i am happy to live with it but of course to get to 10/10 same as you would be great

I have pasted my config below, would you mind letting me know how it differs from yours please :)

boot_config :
{
timeout = 0;
autobootfix = 200;
recovery = 2;
default = 0;
entries = (
{
title = "rxTools";
path = "/rxTools/sys/code.bin";
offset = "0x12000";
},
{
title = "HBL";
path = "/boot.3dsx";
} );
};

Change your autobootfix to 2 or 8 and make sure you download the Lavanoid 12\05\2015 version. I too used that version and had the same boot rate as you. I switched and changed my personal autobootfix to 8. That's about it bro. Make sure you have also tried to copy, not format, your whole sd and copy back to sd to increase file speed as well. Be careful though with the file copying, sometimes it garbles your badge data...lol. Best hope bro.

>these tweaks (apparently) resolve all my CakesFW boot issues
