Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[BlastedGuy9905]

Yes

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT
THASS AWESOME!

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

It's not necessary to downgrade B9S. For now I'm maintaining the "legacy" branch on github which is basically 8.0 minus Rosalina (so all the improvements/new features brought by Rosalina are gone).
Here's a build of the latest commit https://workupload.com/file/d9JaET5

Could you please later add InputRedirection to it (without the Rosalina menu) that can be activated with a certain button combo? The Rosalina version crashes any game when they are loading and InputRedirection is on.

Nope, input redirection is only possible thanks to Rosalina

;-; Is there a CIA? Nevermind. There isn't.

 

[Valery0p]

;-; Is there a CIA?

OT
There are plenty of NTRcfw plugins to do that, if you don't want to upgrade to luma 8.0...

I couldn't find an answer to this question elsewhere so I figured this would be the right place to ask:
Will *hax payloads be fixed or are they intentionally broken? If they remain broken, any plans on adding support for target titles to the 3dsx loader?
I use a fair bunch of homebrew dependent on this feature so I can't fully switch to Rosalina for 3dsx loading unless I find a good solution / permanent workaround (currently using the legacy branch build provided on page 989 of this thread).

 

[gnmmarechal]

Let me check. Hum... no.

Of course it was sarcasm, even you got it. If it is so idiotic why even point it out... Isn't it equally idiotic?

I mean, do you realise where you are? GBAtemp, where people state that "arm11 can become arm9 with reprogramming". It's quite impossible to recognize such a statement as sarcasm, and even if you do, it makes little sense... to me at least.

 

[PrincessLillie]

No. NO. NOO. I'm not buying this Rosalina shit. Even though it has a menu, that's it. ANYTHING I DO THAT LUMA3DS DOESN'T LIKE, CRASHES MY GAME AND FORCES ME TO SHUT DOWN. I HAVE to downgrade. Can I do it with SafeB9SInstaller, or will that give a me a fu**ing error too and brick my system? This Luma3DS update is the MOST RUSHED thing I've ever seen in the 3DS hacking community.

Agreed! We should be able to enable and disable Rosalina and these annoying errors at will! However, it doesn't seem as if @Aurora Wright will be giving us the option to disable Rosalina from Luma config anytime soon.

Is Luma compatible with out-of-region 3DS downloadable videos? I'm trying to get my Shin Chan videos to play, but I keep getting an error.

No, it won't be fixed and neither will support for target titles because they are obsolete. 3dsx homebrew now has access to all the same permissions as cias do, so either find alternatives to said homebrew, convince the authors to port it to cia/rosalina, or port it yourself.

Several people have asked for that on github and the answer has always been WONTFIX.

Especially considering you can still use the old method. Use hb launcher with the "old" boot.3dsx.

Well, currently, there's no reason to upgrade to 8.0... Let alone B9S... Rosalina is new. It's going to have bugs... They'll get fixed. Crying about it does nothing.

No you can't. Rosalina breaks the old payloads and old boot.3dsx.

 

[Redferne]

No you can't. Rosalina breaks the old payloads and old boot.3dsx.

Ah my bad I assume it was good because you can reach the homebrew menu.

 

[RacsoSakuraba]

I have been using the screenshot function and after taking an X quantity, this occurs... Or sometimes the first with several games.

PD: This happened to me with the stable Luma3DS v8.0 and now with Luma 3DS v8.0-901d499 (And other nightlies I've used)

 

[Zaphod77]

Well considering that cia sends info to nintendo potentially, keeping homebrew as .3dsx is important. and many refuse to run without a hax payload. the oone i rean into is the dsp dumper.

So some option for a legacy hax payload would be useful, because certain homebrew expects it.

 

[BlastedGuy9905]

@Aurora Wright , I recommend you talk with the maker of Rosalina, to add InputRedirection and Homebrew 2.0 to the Legacy build.

 

[The Catboy]

Well, currently, there's no reason to upgrade to 8.0... Let alone B9S... Rosalina is new. It's going to have bugs... They'll get fixed. Crying about it does nothing.

But there still should be an option to disable it. If the user doesn't want it, there's no reason to force them to have it running. It actually can be disabled quite easily too.

Well, would Aurora consider adding an option down the line? Anything with Rosalina should be considered unstable until otherwise confirmed.

S/he already told you no. You whine every single day and every where about how Rosalina is awful and you want it to be gone.
You got Rosalina optional thanks to the legacy branch, AND NOW you ask for the second time for a Rosalina' feature to be added into this branch ... after one of the Dev already told you no.

Act like an adult, please, and know what you want.

---

BlastedGuy's behavior aside, I agree that the v8 included too much changes at one time and caused a lot of problems in various domains. That's the reason I'm still on 7.1 and I always read opinions and returns before updating during the hype train.
I will update later, when more bugs are resolved and when I will feel the need. I know the Devs work hard and push a lot of commits, and I am grateful to them.

So I have Luma 8.0 with boot9strap 1.2, and whenever I try to use the freeshop to download a game, it crashes and i get the following error shown in the attached picture. Could this be a bug with Luma 8.0?

This is a question up in the air to anyone, but someone on another thread told me to tag @Aurora Wright
