Hacking FSHax

[gudenau]

Introducing:
FSHax

A fairly simple patch that allows anything to access the entire Filesystem (as far as I know).

What does this mean for the everyday user? All games can access the SD card! You can store all of your mods on the SD card and use SDCafiine to load them!

Need some proof?
Video deleted, got a random strike, deleted a bunch just in case. :-/

How do I use this?
You either need to get your favorite CFW to add the patch to the FS module or patch it in yourself, it is an eight byte patch or two instructions. I was able to put it into IOSUHax in a few minutes.

Give me the patch already!
Here you go:​

; Enable everything access to the entire filesystem
.org 0x107043E4
    MOV R2, #0xFFFFFFFF
    MOV R3, #0xFFFFFFFF

How about a repo?
Why not?
(Lies about REDNAND, uses SYSNAND)

IPS patch?
Sure, here you go.
(Lies about REDNAND, uses SYSNAND)​

I want to give you money!
Aww, thanks!

Does this deserve a name/logo?
No, but I wanted to make one so I did. I find it oddly satisfying to make these. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯​

Finally Sdcaffine for any game!

So basically fix would have to implement this into cbhc?

 

[Coolsonickirby]

No more long loading time, yay!

Hey @FIX94 I have a patch for you!

I could not recall the author of that, thanks!

 

[xtheman]

So basically fix would have to implement this into cbhc?

Yes. (if you use the cbhc internal cfw. If you use mocha (for rednand) then @dimok will have to add it to mocha)

 

[VinsCool]

Pretty cool! Good work mate

 

[Conn0r]

Is this just "chmod 777 /"?

 

[FIX94]

you see, there is a reason we do have a separate node for root file access; giving everything permission to everything is rather dangerous, there is a reason after all why permissions are a thing, fucking up and bricking with a patch like this is easier than ever since you could just do it from anywhere.

Have you seen an app that will brick with access to everything?

ftpiiu everywhere (assuming you don't know what your doing)

I did not and I also dont want to learn about one. Oh and for sd access by the way, cant you just use libiosuhax to globally mount the sd card to a name of choice and then freely use it in every app?

That's a good idea, will have to implement it.

 

[Cynda]

Sorry if this is a noob question, but how exactly do I put in the patch? I just got Mocha today.

But with libiosuhax you don't have the nintendo API => have to rewrote the sd cafiine patches completly.

I didn't check yet what this patch does, but I would just look for the part where the cos.xml is parsed, and patch the flag with give an app sd access.

 

[OriginalHamster]

Looking forward more developments on this, thanks.

Definitely wanted this to add in custom MK8 maps, only waiting for Fix, if he actually decides to do it x3

? Are custom MK8 courses a thing yet? I thought we only had texture mods so far

Model swaps still aren't a thing but people are moving objects around and basic stuff like that

Pretty sure custom courses are close.
