How to make a Gateway card entry?

Gateway menu only works with ninjhax or mset downgrader.

haha maybe the gateway team will work to enable this auto-boot stuff, only then we might be able to add it to the boot manager...

Hi, I uploaded a new version which fix a bug in the filer and allow to configure an "autobootfix" delay (see boot.cfg sample for details).

Is the code for the autobootfix microseg?

EDIT: "autobootfix = 80" works fine in New3ds, thanks for that

I have a couple questions:

1. Does the netload 3dsx option work? It just freezes my N3DS (no text showing it's listening or anything), and all attempts to send a 3dsx file via 3dslink fail. My 3DS' wifi is on and can browse the internet fine.
2. If netload does work, is there a way to autoboot into that option? It'd be handy for quick testing to make sure a homebrew works on real hardware.

To me netload doesn't work in n3ds, i use fts server 3dsx (cubic) or cia.

Same problem here. I think netload simply doesn't work properly.

One more thing that I just thought of that would be nice: an option to change what we boot into by default. I know we can do that by editing the cfg file, but it'd be nice to be able to change it without needing to edit it using a computer or other homebrew app.

But, this app doesn't allow file text edition yet!... Only view files (in Hex mode)!

This means you either dont have the "boot.cfg" file at the root of your sdcard or it is malformed.
Else for the "live" boot option edit i'll add this soon. Also i'll try to upload sources this week end so people can play with it (even if it's a total crap, i didn't had the time to clean it...)

Thank you, it would be useful.

I didn't want to release the code as this as it's a shame to me, but well i'm not sure if/when i'll have the time to make something proper so ... Also the code indentation is a big crap, thanks codeblocks.
Thanks to smea since a lot of code comes from him, and all other people involved ..

Thanks a ton for the source code release!

There are two (or three) things that bug me about CTR Boot Manager now...

1. With the newer releases, the title line doesn't look good when autobooting long text menu entries. I think the text should be centered.
2. I can't install stuff via FBI when ran via CTR Boot Manager (boot to ReiNAND SysNAND -> Ninjhax to CTR Boot Manager -> Run FBI from CTR Boot Manager menu). It doesn't work if I run HB launcher from CTR Boot Manager first either. Anything that could be done about that?
3. Well, I already explained that, but netload doesn't do anything for me.

Otherwise, great work!

I'm recompiling some homebrew apps to use the directory /data/<appname>/... instead of using the root of the sdcard for their config files or other resources, because I want to keep the files more organized.

In this case I want to put the boot.cfg file to /data/boot.cfg by editing config.c , but when I compile, I get the following error at the end:

.

.
linking boot.elf
main.o: In function `main':
main.c.text.startup+0x0): multiple definition of `main'
main.o:main.c.text.startup+0x0): first defined here
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [/c/Users/Stefan/Desktop/CtrBootManager/boot.elf] Error 1
make: *** [build] Error 2

My Devkitpro and the libs should be up to date and the most other homebrew compiles just fine. Where is my error? Thanks!
