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

[daxtsu]

also what does offset mean here? that ctrmanager will auto boot the first .3dsx file on the list?

The offset affects where in memory the payload (.bin or .dat files) will load. For most (if not all of the current) CFWs it's 0x12000, so you can leave it alone for the most part (decrypt9 would use 0x0 though, but that's not a CFW).

ah okay, so you can use that entry for .bin/.dat files like GW launcher.dat etc

Or you can also add a "recovery = 2" line after the "timeout = 0" (if you put 0 here) so that your 3DS autoboots to GW except when you press SELECT (change the "2" to another value to change the key) in which case you'll see the menu. That's useful when you have one option that you almost always use but you still want other options.

um, so if Timeout = 3,2,1 the CTRmanger menu pops up before auto booting into first .3dsx
moreover, if Timeout = 0 (auto boot "boot.3dsx" perfect booting rate 100%?)
but if the timeout is 0 then you can't access the ctrmanger menu?

also to add the "recovery = 2" line after the "timeout = 0" like so?

timeout = 0 recovery = 2 ?

I don't think anyone's managed to launch the Gateway .dat with it, no, but you can use the new 3dsx file Gateway released a few days ago instead, with CTRBootManager.

actually the 3dsx version launches the Launcher.dat on root and mine works fine. I tested it with two different launcher.dat files, and it showed different versions while booting.

2.6 doesn't have a code.bin. If the .3dsx isn't able to boot the rxtools.dat through ctrbootmanager, then you'll just need to update to a nightly build of 3.0 beta.

I have the 3dx in /3ds/GW
I have installed this CTRbootmanager, tried to launch the gw 3dx.. I just get a black screen.

Also the default entry for home menu hax isn't working.. don't have a boot_hb.3dsx file on my sd aswell.. though homebrew menu is working normally for me..

And what is the correct entry to add CakesFW.

Many thanks. Though my gateway question has the priority

 

[urherenow]

Is your emunand set up properly? Try holding the L button when you launch the GW.3dsx and see if the menu works. Then hold b while selecting gateway mode to try booting into gateway mode sysnand.

and what do you mean, default entry for menuhax? You mean for ctrbootmanager?

I'm trying to use this tool after downgrading my OLD3DS, but whenever I try booting with the CTRBOOTMANAGER, nothing happens, and the 3DS boots as normal. I copied everything out, and made sure that the boot.cfg was edited appropriately, because I didn't install PastaCFW. rxTools is correctly set up, and worked from the browser launch. I have installed MenuHax. Any idea how I can fix this?

 

[urherenow]

downgrading to WHAT? You must be on 9.0-9.2 for hax 2.5 stuff...

Edit: 9.0-9.2 for hax 2.5 to launch a cfw. Of course you can fully upgrade and still use HBL (but... never do that!)

 

[nobody231]

Yes, I downgraded to 9.0.

 

[urherenow]

ok, well, you need a new payload. Launch through browser hax again and hold Y down to save the new payload.

 

[darklordrs]

currently either feeding me a black screen or, if it does get to the real gui, a freeze (no boot.cfg -> generates one -> press something to continue, which I can't. there was a boot.cfg there anyway..). Kinda confused.

(downgraded from 10.3 to 9.2 for this; using menuhax)

I feel like an idiot, but it says to copy a boot.3dsx from the ctrbootmanager files, but there isn't one in the download. Am I doing something wrong?

There are two files in the zip attached to the opening post, boot.3dsx and boot.cfg

Thanks, I WAS being an idiot. I downloaded the source code by accident.

Not a problem, figured this was what happened, an easy mistake.

Hold y where to save the new payload? Can we get a slightly more detailed explanation?

You can read the VERY detailed instructions both on the menuhax page and on your 3DS screen while installing the menuhax from menuhax manager.

After success install rxtools, ctrbootmanager and emnuand. How to boot ninjahax inside emunand from the modify boot_hb.3dsx?
