Homebrew MenuHax 2.0 Custom Main-Screen Images

[nerirififi]

Hello,

Menu HAX works great, i change my image display ( thanks to the post )

i configure my boot with CtrBootManager, and i boot on RX TOOLS on startup without touching any button.

So if i touch any button at the startup of the console i boot on my sysnand.

I would like to know if there is a way to never boot sysnand with menu hax configuration or ctrbootmanger ?

So what are you gonna do when you need to get into sysnand? (not that you need anyway, but you never know why you need to be there?

Yeah, I wouldn't advise blocking sysNAND completely (assuming it's possible).
But if you want to kind of block it, just put a very stupid key combination to boot to sysNAND in menuhax_installer. IIRC, menuhax supports combinations of several keys (I use L+R) so maybe you can put something like L+R+A+B to skip menuhax, boot menuhax (and rxTools) otherwise, and you'll virtually never boot to sysNAND.
And this allows you to set single keys for your CtrBootManager entries without conflicting with menuhax's key combo.

Quick question.

I've been seeing several images that say "L to boot this, R to boot that"
Is it possible to like.

"L to boot Homebrew Launcher"
"R to boot rxTools" or sysNAND if I have rxTools as autoboot.

And if it's possible, how can I do so?

 

[Hayleia]

Use CtrBootManager (or something else that does the same thing).
You can then set up keys to launch things or to access to a menu that lets you choose between several booting options, etc.

I'm not sure that R to boot rxTools and L to boot HBL is a good idea though. That would make booting into rxTool's menu quite hard (or I guess you'll just go to CtrBootManager's menu).

Just as an example, I used:
L+R to skip menuhax (boot to sysNAND (and trigger camera ))
R to boot HBL
rxTools by default
L is rxTools key to launch its menu
SELECT to display CtrBootManager's menu

Thank you!
I kind like your mapping.

I will use it for sure.
Could you post your boot.cfg file so I can take a peek at it?

 

[Hayleia]

Yes, here it is.

// Boot menu configuration
boot_config :
{
   // Default timeout in secondes
   // If timeout = -1, disable autoboot
   timeout = 0;

   // Some devices (n3ds?) seems to have
   // some timing problems when using timeout=0 (autoboot).
   // You may increase this value to improve boot success rate.
   // Default delay (8) should be good for o3ds, 2 seems good for n3ds
   autobootfix = 8;

   // if timeout = 0 (autoboot),
   // hold this key to enter the menu
   // keycode list : https://goo.gl/4XLDIL
   recovery = 2;

   // Default boot entry
   default = 0;

   // Boot menu entries (11 max)
   entries =
   (
     {
       title = "rxTools";
       path = "/rxTools/sys/code.bin";
       offset = "0x12000";
     },
     {
       title = "Homebrew Menu";
       path = "/boot_hb.3dsx";
       key = 8; // R
     },
     {
       title = "Power Off";
       path = "/3ds/3DSQuickShutdown-Always/3DSQuickShutdown-Always.3dsx";
     }
   );
};

The Power Off entry is kind of useless since it can be found in "more", but it used to be the default entry (so that random people just can't turn my 3DS on and do bullsheep on it) but that was mostly annoying for me in the end

Only config I didn't see was the L+R combo to boot sysNAND.
Is it somewhere in there or is that somewhere else?

Edit:
NVM, I just did some research and found out that in order to make MenuHax boot SysNAND ONLY with a button combo I should use Type 2 and then input the button combo I desire.
I chose Down+B so I don't trigger the camera on boot.

i kinda want to use this, but im in gateway land

will my gateway emunand work with rxtools? if so, i imagine this requires 9.2 and prob doesn't work on 4.5?

i appreciate any info and any pointers to the proper info!

 

[Apache Thunder]

Most CFW supports gateway emunand. Unless it's reinand. I think that may be setup in a manner similar to the old 4.5 rednand of the old days.

Pasta/rxTools uses Gateway's emunand layout, so yes, gateway emunand will work with rxTools.

Reinand uses Gateway's layout too.

this is awesome! just got it running on my 2ds, makes loading the homebrew menu so easy and convenient!

any tips on how to get my sysnand on my 4.5 3ds up to 9.2? i can restore the original back up of 9.2 i suppose...

Yeah that's the way to go... Launch gateway launcher and hold up on the dpad and push A and it'll let you restore your backup

 

[VashTS]

so then my option to get into gateway would probably on be the browser exploit though right?

i dont have cubic ninja, oot or ironfall on my sysnand on my 3dsxl.

isnt there an issue with the browser as of late?

Not on 4.5-9.8

I may as well post mine. This was requested by me when 2.0 was almost finished, and yls8 was asking for imagedisplays. I was wanting a dialog not unlike IRIX booting on SGI hardware. @CheatFreak47 responded swiftly with this.

Seeing that when I turn on my 3DS would scare me

Just Something a littler cleaner than most.

The amount of artifacts on the original image was a goddamn pain to cleanup

That's really awesome for pokemon fans.

Here's something for Monster Hunter enthusiasts!
In glorious 3D!
