Hacking m3utils incl. kernel switcher

[Xenon++]

I have noticed that R4iRTS MoonShell2 reset launches /loader.eng. So I had an experiment to apply it to general purpose kernel switcher.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/jhjdlxlmmwx/M3R_R4i_r7.7z

How to install/use:
Put all files to your TF then launch /_system_/*.nds from anywhere.

Below are useful utilities:
http://filetrip.net/f9907-M3-Kaura-Language-Builder-1-0.html
This is M3 Kaura lng file builder (I analyzed format).
Why I made this? I wanted to localize to Japanese. JP932.lng is built with this.
But there is a issue: JP932.lng isn't usable until you copy inside of /SYSTEM/font/CP936/ to /SYSTEM/font/CP1250/.

This is m3dec(kernel header decrypter)/m3patch(card check interceptor).
Once ago, Rudolph made M3R_iTDS_PP2 to patch M3 kernels, but I felt it is not so good for batch scripting.
So this program decrypts header automatically. Also, patch files are very small.

How to upgrade R4i:
Put R4i.sys in the same folder as m3dec then launch SakuraMultiBoot.bat.
As I have made m3patch, I'll remove the vbs from M3R_R4i in the next release. Done.

so can you explain this in plain english since google only translates languages, not complex into simple

Well I'd help translate it from translator English to native English if I understood the translator English (which is weird, because I normally understand translator English)

m3dec/m3patch stopped.

Yes, I know M3R_iTDS_PP2 is a good program and "iTouchDS on M3Real" does use it, but I should keep his method "underground"...

 

[DeltaBurnt]

Wait, so what did m3patch do in the first place?

So "iTouchDS on M3Real" requires vbscripts. I reimplemented the scheme in C.

I didn't get a chance to download the file before Xenon++ removed it, mind PM me the file if you had downloaded it?

So was there any clear difference?

Nope, I didn't really know what it was.

my m3patch displays what offset is patched.

Possibly.

 

[Dark^'^Knigh]

I've got a sneaky suspicion Xenon++ may have found a way to allow Sakura to load roms on any flashcart, hence that file removal - hence "keeping this method underground".
I'm pretty certain some other member claimed to have used Rudolph's M3R_iTDS_PP2 to achieve this (I haven't seen the username logged on for a long, long time), but that post was totally removed from this forum almost immediately.

 

[Xenon++]

I don't know what you talk about, but

Of course not. Only M3,iTouch,R4iRTS

Wait, the itouch can load Sakura?

Also all of the .nds files in my "_system_" folder take me to the R4i RTS firmware for some reason.

 

[Xenon++]

Well, update /*.nds
r4 had a bug.

Or just remove /_ds_menu.sys

 

[KingVamp]

do I put the whole bin folder on my card or just the files that are in the bin on my card?

 

[dsrules]

you could put them anywhere as long as you select the file and load it

 

[Flame]

should this thread be like... sticked?

 

[KingVamp]

okay I put they bin folder on my card , so what do I do after that cause the r4i is not loading? Do you need a slot 2 for this?

Send in a request

bin/*.nds has to be in / of TF
bin/_system_/*.nds can be anywhere

BTW reuploaded m3dec.
I had a quarrel with the author of M3R_iTDS_PP2 and got upset, so have decided to break "secretness".

 

[Xenon++]

m3dec update. Now includes iTDSgb.

Also please see inilink in mshl2tools... The world's first M3DS extlink. (save handling unstable...)
