Hacking Pasta CFW - A CFW that allows unsigned CIA to be installed on Old and New 3DS! (required ninjhax)

[Vappy]

Hey guys, super curious. What's stopping us from injecting cubic ninja or OoT into a legit cia and using that for exploits? I mean obviously its not possible because otherwise it would have been done by now, but why? Is the legit cia's key still game specific, but not console specific?

Because if you alter a legit .cia, you break the signature and it's no longer legit. If we could just arbitrarily change game files and have the 3DS play them, there'd be no need for an exploit in the first place.

Legit CIA is a content with a kind of generic key, or generic signature. We can't sign CIA by ourselves because we don't have have all the encryption stuff.

We can't turn any CIA into a Legit one. Otherwise, we wouldn't need Pasta CFW: We could already launch legit CIA before Pasta.

Well an exploit would still be needed to install the .cia's, but yeah i get your point, was just curious about the mechanics

Look up page 228, it was said that it'll support KeyX. So that's why I'm asking. Although looking at it again, the answer to my question is obviously yes

with old 3DS only i suppose , but how 4.X can support games >7.X dont understand

can you explain please what do ??

You'd need the decryption key, which will eventually be included in Pasta

 

[DAHU75]

ok , but not included actually in pasta so dont work

thanks

You can do it via RxTools though, through emunand, instead of using Pasta

 

[DAHU75]

??

with pasta cfw no emunand

have you a little tuto explain that or a link ? thanks

Yeah, Pasta has no emunand. But RxTools does, on there you can run up to 9.5 i think, theres an rxtools thread somewhere here, I cant find it atm

 

[DAHU75]

i know rxtools , but if pasta no load emunand how can play >7.X with pasta , dont undertand

You can't yet. Im just suggesting another way for you to do it while you wait.

 

[DAHU75]

lol ok

Seriously, when this CFW is allowed to use emunand at it's full, and maybe, find a way to be updatable in any fw (A little hard but not impossible), it will be the ultimate thing, nothing has ever been so good.

Patience, grasshopper.

One Pasta to rule them all

I was wondering... The fact that Pasta doesn't support Emunand or Rednand makes me thing that there is some kind of problem with the partch that prevents the redirection ?

No, the problem is that nobody knows how to make the redirection happen in the first place.

Or maybe its because its devs have no idea what they're doing or how to code without using patches from pastebin...who knows

So help them then.

Now my New 3DS XL is ready for PastaCFW Development

Yep, I cutted the backshell so that I can quickly access the microsd
