Homebrew Homebrew Development

Why not Dlcs, .cia support and all eshop games support?

I'm fairly certain that's because .cia support will result in GW flash cart being redundant.

If I was GW, I'll instead work on a tool to convert .cia files to 3ds format to be used with GW.

Well. All these arguments of whether smealum did work with GW is moot.

Fact is, GW has come up with a public way of enabling users to run homebrew. This will most certainly help bring about increased interest in homebrew/hacking. GW has brought usable things for 4.x users, smealum has just simply showed what he was capable of but did not contribute directly to enabling homebrew on 4.x. (Not unless he's behind GW)
.
Happy times ahead. Now GW just need a way to enable 6.x/7.x support.

Actually, the ctrulib has been public for some time now, as well as the Yeti3ds source code. So to say smea has done nothing is a huge understatement. The problem right now is still the same, no one is writing advanced home brew yet cause the people who ARE publicly releasing things have only just recently made switching to ARM11 public, and have been making good progress from there.

Nah, I probably didn't make myself clear. I meant it that smea has released nothing to enable the running of unsigned code (aka homebrew) on 4.x consoles. He's done great work on creating toolchains and whatnots for homebrew development but nothing of the sort to run said homebrew.

So of all the GB emulators and GBC emulators that there are, do none of them have saving support yet?

Not yet.

There's no public tool for creating NCSD or NCCH files easily? I really want start coding with all ARM11 SVC *¬*

Seems I didn't look it to much enough...
Also CTRTool(https://github.com/3dshax/ctr/tree/master/ctrtool) seems also creates NCCH files

Awesome, are there any restrictions ?

Same as a retail cart according to 3dbrew devs.
You have to have a GW too, of course.

makerom how to convert cia cxi to.3ds dont understand how to get that format .3ds

 

[TheCruel]

Use "makerom -f cci"

If I'm not mistaken, you can just change the .cci extension to .3ds since CCI is essential the ROM image.

Keep the thread alive

I was actually gonna ask, but I really like your fcram dumper, however, it's painstakingly slow (Half an hour is nuts, as I know some people have fcram dumpers that take less than 10 seconds). Do you plan to update it and make it any faster?

Also, I'm in the process of learning C, so I'd like to try setting up a homebrew kit and start with some code porting (and some poking around with my 3DS), however, I can't find any solid information on setting up for homebrew development. Is there a startup guide somewhere? I currently have Python installed, as I know that's a prerequisite, but other than that, I'm at a complete loss right now.

are these ''good hackers'' helping GW ''the masters of the piracy'' ? Now I understand the reason why they don't release 4.x.x CFW, because it will be a risk for sales

No, they're against GW. GW's just using their open-sourced code and other programs, while crediting them for their works.

With GW's Homebrew support you could easily make one that dumps the fcram in 30 seconds or so

cant really imagine why you would want to part just when things are getting interesting.....but best of luck, and thanks for everything you have provided so far

I dont know his reasons but you could argue that the interesting part is over

Please use a normal http server

yeah true true i suppose when most of the work was to do with building up info on file formats, and making tools needed to build up homebrew, i suppose he my just be thinkin "my work here is done " but still its always nice to have experts around

if not for the gateway team(''homebrew for all'') everybody would be hidding the files yet !
