Homebrew HANS source code now publicly available!

[froggestspirit]

yeah but we need to get enough permissions for that

i feel like with hans source code, we could patch more than available previously. Could we theoretically patch gsp to bring back gspwn?

gspwn is still here

Someone wanna make a CIA version? I might if worse comes to worse... but it'd be this weekend.

 

[shinyquagsire23]

what if we could edit the part that checks the version of the titles, so that it ovewrites newer ones with older ones, instead of vise versa? Im not an expert in 3DS technicalities, but i have done my fair share of ASM editing

That's in ARM9 kernel I'm pretty sure.

 

[Deleted member 356526]

That's in ARM9 kernel I'm pretty sure.

It is. We've tried.

 

[Mrrraou]

It's not, it's in the ARM11, and AM does the check

Oh shit he's right.

 

[Mrrraou]

It is. We've tried.

Are you sure about that ? what about we remove it first then ?
edit: nevermind

 

[shinyquagsire23]

AMPXI, in Process9

 

[Mrrraou]

AMPXI, in Process9

yeah, you're right. I saw that AM does the check too.

You only need arm11 kernel for downgrading. So we dont need arm9 kernel like all of these people are shitting themselves about to downgrade.

I was just saying that to patch the actual check on title versions, you'd need ARM9. Bypassing it's still just ARM11 kernel.

Ah gotcha. Shiny, you're a pretty kind dev! How's gamecube controller btw?

Yeah, I know about that. With ARM11 kernel I think you can get AMPXI and bypass checks as said on 3dbrew. (Maybe that am:net is not able to remove NATIVE_FIRM so..)

so that MAYYY be an issue.

 

[LeifEricson]

It's in the 2.5 payload, not in HANS

Okay, thanks. Man I hate that awkward phase in between knowing how to code but still learning how a specific platform works.

 

[Acryt]

you have to either dump the update and dlc data necessary to have the entire thing, undecrypt all of it through a pretty stupid process, and then combine it with romfs, ORRRRR ask someone who already has it and pray you're not shot for warez requests.

doesn't work, i'm assuming it doesn't actually patch the update data in this way, but rather just the visual cues of it doing so (such as the update text on the screen). hasn't been any confirmations of it working at all in any form besides that on the title screen.

Someone should figure out where the romfs check is and remove it so we can load romfs files from other games with say a copy of cubic ninja.

I'm about 90% sure there's no 'romfs check' and we literally can't load 'wrong' games atm.

gotta note tho, loading cubic ninja would be grade-A useless considering it requires userland and loads userland (unless you're on 9.2, in which case nice job)

 

[MasterLel]

romfs is not the problem, it's just a library of files (images, sounds, models, collisions, some scripts, dialogues)

exefs file is the "core" of the game. But you can't inject any .code you want or else it will crash, because the exheaders are not the same
So piracy is pretty much impossible
