Homebrew *Hax 2.7 has been stealth released.

[luigoalma]

support for 9.6-crypto titles so you can use HANS, save managers, etc. with them. you need a database of XML files though, one XML for each title. I started one here and @luigoalma has been helping out with it: https://github.com/ihaveamac/9.6-dbgen-xmls

I'm glad I could help.

So wait? Does the SNES VC games work with HANS now? What about update data?

I may be looking a gift horse in the mouth here but was HANS ever fixed to work with the CPP and C stick, or able to load monster hunter and smash on old 3ds?

If the XMLs for those roms are there, then yes. If not then not yet. We need to decrypt and decompress the code.bin out of the exefs to generate the XML.

Alright, sounds good!

 

[Tacosaregood]

Just tested HANS and it's not updated yet. (This means no update support yet)

not yet. you can use save managers though if you put these XMLs on your SD card.

if one doesn't work, tell me the game and region.

 

[DjoeN]

Nice

But i never play out of region games

How do you get the XML files to work? HANS still gives me a red screen when trying to launch 9.6+ crypto titles. (Pokemon Yellow and Pokemon Picross) I use gridlauncher.

you need an homebrew launcher that supports launching these titles. here's one: https://gbatemp.net/attachments/boot-3dsx-zip.41661/

you don't need to replace boot.3dsx, you can put it in /3ds/ like normal.

 

[drfsupercenter]

Hmm

I updated HANS (all the rest of the starter pack is identical to what I had already) and wiped my Cubic Ninja save and reinstalled it, it now shows 2.7.

I put the "mmap" folder on the root of my MicroSD and downloaded all of the XMLs

I'm trying to load a game I know is in that list (Pokémon Blue) in HANS and it just freezes at a red bottom screen. Tried it a few times.

It used to freeze at a yellow screen...

What am I doing wrong? I've rebooted my 3DS after the freezes, too.

I'm on emuNAND if that means anything, but it shouldn't... all of the homebrew stuff seems to work the same inside my 10.7 emuNAND as on metal.

Wait so the boot.3dsx in the starter pack is still the old one and doesn't support it? Is that the problem?

I use CTR boot manager, can I just add an entry?

yes that works.

doesn't support it yet, I tried. the one I linked to is one I built, and it does support the 9.6 titles.

[drfsupercenter]

yes that works.

Oh, so it's not entirely updated LOL

I'll try yours out... did you just take smea's source and modify it? So many fork-launchers floating around that I get skeptical :/

All I want is the official one but with the ability to resort the menus...

no I simply built the latest commit (56a3d77), you would get the same result if you built it yourself.

Ah so it's not even modified. Excellent </Mr. Burns voice>

I tried asking smea on IRC if he could include the ability to custom-sort menu entries and he said no

Does this update affect the success rate for booting CFW from 9.2 menuhax and ctr boot manager? I know hax 2.6 was a major improvement from 2.5 for whatever reason.

If success rate is what you're looking for, go with a9lh.

 

[nl255]

Yeah, I probably will eventually but as of right now I get over a 90-95% success rate with hax 2.6.
