Homebrew DS(i) Mode hacking progress thread

[dankzegriefer]

What prevents an existing DS flashcard from working in DSi mode?

Could the TWL_FIRM be patched to give a way around this?

Because nobody reporogrammed it.

Because nobody reporogrammed it.

What does "it" refer to here, the flashcard or the TWL_FIRM? Would it be impossible to have a TWL_FIRM that always runs in DSi mode no matter what, even if you put in a DS game?

Is it possible to compile DS homebrew to DSi using devkitPro or something?

Pretty common stuffs, still works tho

It'll be interesting to try this once patches are out for N3DS. I'd much rather use my old Acekard than the GW blue card.

I have a patched TWL_FIRM for N3DS (located all the patches, by looking at the surrounding bytes and things like that). To decrypt and reencrypt arm9bin I used reinand magic.
If you people want, I can get it to the ISO site (I also made an O3DS .cia if you don't want to use Rx, I'm going to test it now).

If you have a CIA of it, sure, throw it up there.

So you install it under emuNAND?

Pls release

Please do so . And thank you for doing this work.

With this TWL_FIRM in .CIA for N3DS, what I should be able to do with a GW on the emunand?
I admit that I would like to try an old cart I had, because Blue Card of GW sucks ass. Sorry but it's shit.
Really.

 

[Aurora Wright]

Both cias (O3DS and N3DS) working great. Uploading them now (and also putting the offsets for N3DS in the gist )

 

[Deleted User]

Yup. Atm, rxTools doesn't do anything for TWL_FIRM and AGB_FIRM on N3DS.

Could it be possible to patch the new3ds TWL_FIRM to run carts that only worked on 4.5, or is it the same situation as carts that never worked on the O3ds?

DS flashcards won't work.

 

[Aurora Wright]

DS flashcards won't work.

However they should work... the whitelist is fully disabled, isn't it? There must be checks done from NATIVE_FIRM or home menu...

Did you upload it?

Maybe Supercards or anything with a valid banner and rom header.

The other ones, which forcefully auto-load, use a icon buffer overflow exploit IIRC (I may be wrong).

 

[Fatalanus]

So if I understand, this new TWL_FIRM.cia should allow us to use old DS flashcards, on N3DS on Emunand?

AK RPG (which is a proper Slot-1 card) fails to work...

What if we bypass the banner and header requirement?

DS flashcards won't work.

So even ones that originally worked on the old 3ds won't work?

I have an r4i sdhc that I unblocked on my old 3ds by downgrading TWL_FIRM to its 4.0 revision. The only reason I'm not upgrading to a n3ds is because it won't be able to be unblocked.
