Homebrew Modify godmode9 buttons

[alx4130]

I need help with godmode9, I need to decrypt many cias for citra but it takes me a long time because I can't select many cias at the same time because my L and R buttons don't work, is there a way or something to modify the godmode9 buttons?

I can't even compile it. maybe @Pk11 can help both of us:

I think to fix that error you just need to install firmtool, should just be pip install -U git+https://github.com/TuxSH/firmtool.git as per the README. (Depending on how Python is installed you may need to swap pip for pip3, python3 -m pip, or py -3 -m pip)

It seems it's very simple to swap around the buttons, just gotta swap around a couple defines. I've attached a build with L/SELECT and R/START swapped, I didn't change anything visually so just press SELECT whenever it says L and START whenever it says R, I picked those since they're rarely used but I can do something else if needed.

That's what I tried doing, but it still errors. It built firmware tool, but it's not in devkitPro. Do I need to put it in tools?

Hmm, maybe try /opt/devkitpro/msys2/usr/bin/python3.exe -m pip install -U git+https://github.com/TuxSH/firmtool.git actually, looks like msys2 has its own special Python so try explicitly using its pip.

this error'd in windows. and, it says that it has to do with the package.

Are you using msys2 or cmd? If you're using cmd might need to do C:\opt\devkitpro\msys2\usr\bin\python3.exe -m pip install -U git+https://github.com/TuxSH/firmtool.git (or whatever the exact path is, might need to leave out the "opt\")

I don't use Windows much so not sure exactly... I know it can be a bit of a pain with all the different msys2 and cmd and such, could also help to just run it in msys2 instead of cmd or the other way around.

Might also help to quote the URL in the command.

I got it to work in linux easily. there always seem to be issues with windows. here's the error:

Ah weird... Afraid I'm not sure why that would happen...

I give up on it. I figured out where the files are supposed to go, but once I got to no module _cffi_backend, I couldn't figure out how to fix it. it may not work in windows cmd prompt or at least, it takes a lot of struggling to force it to work.

 

[godreborn]

@Pk11 , I was successful in windows cmd prompt:

I installed setuptools via pip (that's what was causing the error before, as it didn't know what to do with setup python scripts), then I install cffi, which created the backend file via the python3 that was in devkitpro's folder, and I installed pycryptodome as you can see above. And, I needed to install libffi and libffi-devel to get ffi.h via pacman.

 

[godreborn]

@Pk11 , I had a great idea, to make an mklink for the python3.9 in the devkitpro folder, and naming it python4.exe. it should work. btw, you also don't need to install Crypto or pycryptodome. using that command to install firmtool will install pycryptodome as well. I fixed and optimized my setup, so now I'm making a disk image:

HI.
I know it's been a long time, I have the same problem.

I have already installed:
setuptools and cffi and via pip
libffi and libffi-devel via pacman
also pip install .... /firmtool.git
which also installs "pycryptodome"

I don't know what else to try, anyone who can help me, Thanks ...

 

[alerene]

I finally solved it, installing WSL2 (ubuntu) and all the necessary libraries.
