Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[Madridi]

Nah, Gateway will never beat .CIA gams on emuNAND/sysNAND with a9lh. Cleaner? Because of the tickets.db? You want to play online? Too bad you need a private header.

Jokes aside, I'm pretty lucky I have a CFW than Gateway. I really feel lucky.

So what? Private header is a huge deal now? You realize you need one header, which means you need to own one game. And you realize that's it really a feature to separate .3ds from .3dz? and yes, the ticket.db is (as of yet) irreversible as tickets can't be edited/deleted.

If the purpose is just "download free games" then congrats you have served your purpose. Just don't try to enforce your opinions as facts

You need to configure menuhax to use a different button...

how i can make it?

 

[Froster]

Don't know if this was already asked but...
Is it possible to edit AuReiNand configuration settings after you've already done that?
I don't know if I'm understandable...
EDIT:WHOOPS didn't read well the post...
Sorry...

 

[RealityNinja]

how i can make it?

use the homemenuhax installer

• Blocked Safe Mode (L+R+Up+A) access on A9LH, as using it would brick the console (N3DS) or remove A9LH due to the reboot to SAFE_MODE FIRM.

So we can't access it anymore? How would we get rid of update nags then? Not everyone is using updated sysnand..

Whoa... That's kinda scary that we had a way to brick that was so simple. Glad it's disabled now. Plus we can just restore through a9lh if we have an issue.

Oh I agree, it's an issue. Then again, no one should access the recovery menu unless they know what they're doing

I love your CFW seriously!!

I just can't figure out how to get gba vc games to work. i've patched agb firm, still giving me an error.

@Argentlan
If you have the bin2c file, latest armips, and you are getting that message, most likely you need to add the line quoted above in your PATH

Ok, it was a PATH problem
but now I have a problem with bin2c

use THIS bin2c https://sourceforge.net/projects/bin2c/
for some reason, theres half a dozen different "bin2c" programs out there, which all do the same thing, but have different command line options and arguments. took a while to find the right one.

Fork updated to 3.13 : https://github.com/Hakujou/AuReiNand/releases/tag/3.13-r4
Update is advised, since the previous release of AuReiNAND would cause a brick/delete A9LH if you tried to go to Safe Mode while using A9LH.

 

[daxtsu]

https://github.com/AuroraWright/AuReiNand/releases/tag/v3.13

I booted safe mode once on my N3DS (post-A9LH) and it didn't brick or lose A9LH. Have there been reports of this, or something? I know updating from there would brick, but how, and/or why, would the simple act of booting safe/recovery mode do it?

Where is your bin2c? I took the exe and added it in the devkitarm/bin folder which was already in the path, and it compiled ok

 

[daxtsu]

Yeah, I meant updating.

Thanks for clearing that up, I was confused.

 

[Mr_Q]

Aurora Wright, thank you for your great CFW! Using it with your A9LH installed via Pailect's guide. One difference from what I did is that I did not remove Emunand and did not use the 'Updatedsysnand' options file so I could keep using emunand (10.7) and sysnand (9.2) as it is.

By default it boots to Emunand which is how I want it. However, I discovered that booting into sysnand only worked when holding the R-trigger. The L-trigger caused the system to shutdown immediately. The great people at #3dshacks told me that I was missing the firmware90.bin file which is required to boot 9.2 from sysnand. When I copied it to /aurei this started to work, which is great!

After that I read your first post and some more readme's, but could not find the answer to my questions:
- What is the right R-trigger exactly used for?
- How is it different from the L-trigger (which requires firmware90.bin)?

I must admit that i used aureinand 3.10 from a couple of days ago and if this behavior is still present in the latest version.


Thank you for your reply

yes I used this one, and run "cc bin2c.c -o bin2c" as @Aurora Wright instructed me then moved to /bin/

Where is your bin2c? I took the exe and added it in the devkitarm/bin folder which was already in the path, and it compiled ok

Like I said /bin/, I'm on linux, if I run "bin2c --version" it respond me fine

EDIT: I uploaded the bin2c i'm using

Oh, Linux, no idea then, but I assume the bin path is also in PATH?

 

[Seita]

I just can't figure out how to get gba vc games to work. i've patched agb firm, still giving me an error.

Install your game to both Sysnand AND Emunand. Install the agb firm to the nand you want to launch your games from.

 

[Argentlan]

yes it is

now I'm building cakes without problem btw, so it must be a bin2c problem
