Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[Omegadrien]

That'll only happen when a new NATIVE_FIRM is released. The devs would just need to patch the new FIRM so the CFW can support it.

And (Au)ReiNAND have a smart Patching feature, so devs are not needed! (in theory)

AND the language plugin configured... or a Gateway.

But This is looking promising. I can't wait until someone releases this with sigpatches/RF and such as a secondary installer to the arm9loaderhax installer. CFWs would then basically only need code for emunand (and not even be required at all if you don't want an emunand).

Umm you can just patch the firmware.bin you already have and use with Aureinand with this loader replacement.
Which I've already done for both o3ds and n3ds, 9.0 10.2 and 10.4.

For some reason, romhacks built as a CIA don't boot on this cfw for me. Does anyone know how to fix it? A9lh o3ds 10.7 emunand 9.2 sysnand.

Anyone confirm get if GBA games save is broken for users without 9.0 form on latest gihub pull?

What does screen brightness have to do with GBA games' save?

Got it, so it a brightness bug?

The pull request's title is "Increase the screen brightness again". Why don't you try an older version and tell us if the bug keeps appearing? Try the past 4-5 builds. Be sure to replace arm9loaderhax.bin at the root of your SDcard.

Edit: How could screen brightness create such a mess? It's like saying you opened the fridge and the oven got destroyed.

It's unlikely but every change could mess an other thing.

If the fridge explodes when you open it, it could break the oven, both are in the kitchen

Great analogy! I just tried the actual public release and in that version the fridge does not kill the oven

How would you go about patching it? I read the read me on the github but I am not sure how to go about manipulating the NCCH and what not.

They don't work. I already tried that. Besides, the SHA1 is not the same as YifanLu described.

It does work and the specific firmware he mentioned doesn't really matter. (I've done 9.0 10.2 and 10.4 myself and all work... for me at least, results may vary).

So, were you able to boot his cfw? Because it always gives me a black screen.
Thanks in advance

No, i booted my modified firmware.bin with Aureinand.

 

[Seita]

I did that as well. But Aureinand patches the firmware.bin as you know.
To know if it works, you can install out-of-region cias and see if they show up. YifanLu also stated that this grants a temporary region change by placing Secureinfo-A file on the root of the sd card. I couldn't do that.

I thought that the region free didn't work on the o3ds regardless?

I know it works, i was able to boot my USA Persona Q cart on my EUR systems without doing anything other than turning it on and sticking the game in. No temp region change or anything else needed.

Shouldn't patching the firmware file with the loader make it region free?
That's what I've been told at least.

@zoogie posted this in the injector thread:

Interestingly new 3ds worked for region free, but old3ds did not. The loader moduledid function at least though. Tested with EUR mario 3d land legit on US consoles.

Not really. Aureinand doesn't do that, at least. I couldn't make sure if it boots out-of-region cias because I have already used the custom home manager file.
I am more interested into temporary region change and accessing the Japanese eshop, for instance.

@Shadowtrance. Thanks for the confirmation, anyway
