Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[Supster131]

https://github.com/AuroraWright/AuReiNand/releases/tag/v3.6

• Full support for a future screen-init-enabled A9LH payload.
• A whole new reboot patch (thanks to a skilled reverser for this). It works on New 3DS (for as of yet unused large RAM modes), doesn't break GBA and DS games (no more choosing to press A or not on Old 3DS), gets disabled automatically with 9.0 FIRM to make exploits work.
• Because of the new reboot patch, now N and O3DS share the same "rei" folder.
• Fixed N3DS "3D bug", thanks to TiniVi and Cakes for this).
• Code clean-up.

Now to update the first post!

Holy shit, that's so cool! Thanks Aurora!

You gonna update to the new version of A9LH now, or will you still stay on the current version? I'll probably end up updating it, as a lot of the initial issues seem to be fixed now.

so this is supposed to make the 178MB memory mode "work" on New3DS? or is extra work needed?

Yes. It should work

 

[ihaveahax]

Yes. It should work

I tried building a cia with it but it ended in a black screen (it did show the red waves, no "an error has occurred"). I'll try building a different program unless someone else has successfully tested it?

Are you sure there aren't changes to do in the program itself? Does home menu work? (Try the large RAM mode which leaves home menu running)

it looks like it rebooted but the backlight never turned back on.

I have a feeling you didn't replace the reboot folder. As an user, if I read "new reboot patch", the reboot folder would be the first thing I I'd replace. Just saying

Got it running, I think it was a dodgy twl_firm stuff

The person who coded it said that it would work on N3DS. And actually it works because you can boot GBA and DSi stuff, so I didn't check further. Are you sure that you don't need changes in the programs themselves?

don't know if this is really related, but I also tried 96MB on old and it did the same thing. so I guess the program itself needs changes. I guess this shows what I know

I suppose so. Can you try the lower RAM mode? The one that reboots n3ds FIRM but keeps Home menu running?

which one? 124MB doesn't reboot. the only other one I know of is 178 which hangs.

Derp, lol. I could have sworn that there was an intermediate mode that kept Home running (like the 80 MB mode on O3DS), checked 3dbrew and I misremembered.

Interesting fix for the N3DS bug. Kudos to all. Working great here on N3DS/2DS and A9LH for both.

Does this mean release 3.6.1 to fix this ?

No. If people figure out how to make things run in the 96 MB RAM mode (O3DS) and 178 MB mode (N3DS) this will be useful

Sorry for sounding like a noob, are we talking about home brew here or retail titles ?

Homebrew and retail can both use these modes.

Homebrew and retail can both use these modes.

thank you for replying to me (twice), I still don't really understand, but that's not your fault

thank you for the release

Can you try booting a 96 MB cia on New 3DS? If it runs then the patch possibly needs fixing, I think.

Dumb question here. Do I delete the reboot1 and reboot2 or leave them? D:
