Homebrew CtrBootManager: 3ds boot manager/loader (HomeMenuHax)

[k8099]

Info:
====
Hi, I'm developing a boot manager / loader, mainly for the HomeMenuHax but i think it should work from homebrew menu too (for loading rxTools for example). I still want to implement a lot of things but i think it's ready for testing. I am probably missing some information to give but i'll update this thread later (busy right now!). If someone want's to make some screens/videos of it you're more than welcome ! See you !

- o3ds with fw <= 9.2 !

- It currently allow you to configure boot entries (ninjhax *.bin, tested with rxTools "code.bin" and homebrew menu "boot.3dsx") in a configuration file to be booted automatically, with a specified timer.
- It can also be used to boot some "ninjhax *.bin" or ".3dsx" files from a crappy file manager if needed.
- You can press "UP" or "DOWN" to override default boot.
- Based on CakeBrah, thanks Myria, Steveice10 and others.

Installation :
========
- Install "HomeMenuHax", automatic one is better (no button to press for booting).
- Edit "boot.cfg" to suits your needs (be careful to errors)
- Copy "boot.3dsx" and "boot.cfg" to sdcard root

boot.cfg sample :
==========

// Boot menu configuration
boot_config =
{
    // Default timeout in secondes
    timeout = 3;
 
    // Default boot entry
    default = 0;
 
    // Boot menu entries (16 max)
    entries =
    (
        {
            title  = "rxTools";
            path = "/rxTools/sys/code.bin";
        },
        {
            title  = "Homebrew Menu";
            path = "/boot_hb.3dsx";
        }
    );
};

yes,it is work with rxtools on my old 3ds(sysnand9.2j eumnand10.1j),but i do not see the rxtools meun,maybe i turn off it,i will try again

i try again,it can into rxtools meun,but when in the meun,the top screen picture is bad,not a big problem...

Hi,

I just uploaded a new version which fix cake-cfw loading and top screen corruption !
Be sure to update your "boot.cfg" configuration file with offset from the new "boot.cfg" sample for rxtools and cake-cfw to work. PastaCFW is also loading now but hang on "apply patch" ... not sure what's going on.

Next move will be to add boot.cfg configuration editor from app itself.

Ps: it may now work on n3ds <= 9.2 ... to be tested.

Hi,
As said in my previous post pasta seems to not load correctly, dunno why yet.

Works with 9.0.0-20EU N3DS CakesCFW with unlinked nands. This is a really nice work.

Can i request a "cancel and do nothing" button, maybe on B or Start? just in case i forgot to hold (or not hold) a button and don't want to restart my 3DS again.

Sorry if I'm being noob,
Can this boot GW launcher.dat ?

I would really like an option to reset the console just like on HB Launcher.

Thank you, great work.

It's already added for next version

On the latest version, I get a syntax error whenever I change anything in boot.cfg. All I did was change boot_hb.3dsx to hbl.3dsx, and it throws that message. I've not deleted any lines, nor has the syntax changed.

You must have done something wrong. Be carefull with quotes, "," and ";". I tried to change like you said without any problem. Start from a fresh config.cfg from the archive.

I had this error because the quote marks around the first boot option was the wrong type. I copy and pasted the original quotes in the other boot examples and now it works fine.

Thanks you sooooooo much for this!

Also, a little off topic question, but still related - how can I invert the L button function (use the button to boot up directly into the home screen, if any problems occur with the exploit) on themeHax? Do I need to recompile it with the changes or just change a configuration?

Thanks!

 

[gudenau]

Sources would be nice. :-/

 

[Fishaman P]

Can't wait for Pasta and rxTools support to be added!
Hold L at boot for Pasta, then NTR 3.0...
Just like a full replacement CFW we've dreamed of for years!
