This is pretty damn cool! How difficult would it be to apply this to something like Rxtools or gateway? Is it as simple as patching the addresses? Sorry, I'm a noob lol

If someone answer to my question just above, I could make a CIA homebrew that would patch NIM and allow us to access eShop in emuNAND.

the time it worked, i got a different error message than usual (a grey one, smaller than the others)
i clicked ok, and i thought it would send me back to home menu, but it just tried to connect to eshop again, this time it worked :)

Sounds like the "What happened to your NNID?" error message.

Edit: Stupid double post :/. In my defense, I only just woke up so I wasn't thinking fully yet.

Why do you want eShop access in emuNAND?

It woukd be easier to make an NTR plugin.

They're screwed. :P

You need arm11 kernel access to patch NIM, so you'd have to port bootstrap/brahma to work outside of Ninjhax.

(Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I"m pretty sure I'm not. CIAs don't just have full system permissions to patch processes)

Oh, I guess that might work. Still, all of the existing homebrew code for patching stuff seems to rely on Ninjhax in some way.

It just occurred to me that if you really want to use Amiibos, you could probably install the Amiibo update CIAs to sysNAND (essentially doing a partial update to 9.3). Someone else should probably confirm that before someone tries it though, and it's kind of a separate topic.

im guessing GW will probably just use this method for eshop access "soon" and update the old3ds to allow normal 9.6 support......they might as well look busy while they work on the new encryption and shut all the people up who want system transfer's or to download patches etc

Question, so, is there any way we can leverage Cubic Ninja's KARL and OSKA exploits to work on CFW or Original NAND?
