is there a way I can change the keybindings for launching things like decrypt9 and uncart on boot? I would rather have them still require two buttons on boot, as it's too easy to accidentally boot into something I don't want to.

@Aurora Wright

Not to advertise but since you ask exactly for its main feature, I just mention here that arm9loaderhay lets you choose what button combination you want for each payload you have (and you have a more user friendly build on page 2 using a non-binary format for folders).

I wonder if it will be possible to patch in a button combo to raise and lower the brightness while in AGB_Firm or TWL_Firm. having to completely exit the game sucks and it was nice on DS Lite to have the DS Lite Brightness Control patch/cheat, which of course does not work on 3DS.

You can!! Push the home button. Then hold start +up or start+down. Start+x = disable the wireless (but you can't enable it...)
edit: woops! already answerred, sorry!

That's a built-in feature of the 3DS. Press home and then hold start + dpad up/down. Left/right toggles power saving mode. This works for DS games too.

How do I get AGB_FIRM and TWL_FIRM to work? The firmware_agb.bin and firmware_twl.bin are present in the aurei folder. But every time I open dsiware or a gba game I see "An error occurred ".

Is the dsiware/gba game installed into the sysnand?

The dsiware is Installed on the NAND and gba to SD

Yep, but have you done this into the SYSnand? Have you downloaded the correct gba/twl firms files (read the readme of the aureinand github to find these files...)

 

[Rocketbarrel]

Ok

for now, uncheck pre-patched firms and AuReiNAND should load and autopatch firms every time. If this works, make sure your SD Card is not accidentally set to read only then check pre-patched firms again and see if it works.

Ok, I tried checking the pre-patched firms after AuReiNand booting to the Home Screen once now I'm back to the previous error with the Couldn't write the patched FIRM (no free space?) error. I tried unchecking everything in settings again and now it just says the error even though I unchecked everything in settings. Am I doing something wrong? My SD card isn't set in read-only mode and it keeps happening.

Do I just have to reinstall AuReiNand and try again?

I've downloaded the FIRM files from the readme but I didn't installed the game cia's via sysnand

You have to do this (when you play gba/ds games, the 3ds reboots to sysnand)

have you active the agb/dsiware option in screen config of aureinand? (select + power on)

It's automatically activated

Yes I did

You have to do this (when you play gba/ds games, the 3ds reboots to sysnand)

And Thanks for helping me, It worked

What's fixed or new?

Anyway after some playing with GBA games i decided it's the best this way if you boot emunand and have a 9.2 sysnand (unlinked):
- Why install the games 2x (Emunand and sysnand) it takes up twice the psace on your SD
- I installed the games to sysnand 9.2 only, booting into sysnand 9.2 with firmware.bin (10.2) (NOT firmware90.bin)
- When you exit a GBA games you are thrown into sysnand anyway, so why not boot into sysnand and play from there.
- It works perfect for me , saves space on my sd and time because not installing them into both nands.
- So whenever i feel like playing a GBA game i boot into sysnand 9.2 (with firmwre.bin (10.2)) by holding R and power on my system

If you boot straight into sysnand, it doesn't matter anyway

https://github.com/AuroraWright/AuReiNand/commits/master

Nothing crazy, it just have the two latest commits (official release does not). No real feature/bugfixes, just code optimization.

very neat update ! but what is all the new twl agb firm stuff ?
i know it is for ds and gba stuff? but is that new option on the boot config now ??:o

and also is that option for users who have not dumped/injected their emu twl agb into sys ?

cause i have only dump/injected the ctrnand on my n3ds.

i just want to understand the new options XD

and nice changes to loading payloads easier now !

edit : like lets say if i have dumped/injected ctrnand and the rest also like twl agb etc. from emu to sys and from sys to emu , and then wiped my emuNAND partition (will i then still have to copy the firmware agb/twl from the firms folder into aurei,and set it up in the boot config ? or would that not be needed?).
