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

[JJTapia19]

So you're saying as of now I can't play Smash Bros online with Pasta?

Yes there's no way currently. If you are on old 3ds the only tedious option would be to downg

Can't you update to 9.2 and still keep Pasta?

Yes you can but It does not work on 9.2 neither.

EDIT
I was thinking about 3DNUS, not sure if that's safe for sysNAND though.

Can I play Smash Bros online on 9.2? How do I safely update to 9.2 on N3DS?

yup. pasta work in 9.2. 3dsnus is safe.

It won't work on 9.2. Here's the dedicated thread for this problem you and many more are having.

Gotcha, I thought Smash needed 9.2 and up.

 

[JJTapia19]

Gotcha, I thought Smash needed 9.2 and up.

The latest update 1.0.8 now requires a higher firmware. Not sure if 9.5+

In my case my only option was to use gateway mode and it works even in 9.0 sysnand or emunand due to it's firmware spoof (FirmLaunch) feature. I hope pasta implement's it soon

Use RxTools

 

[Apache Thunder]

Use RxTools

he might have a n3DS. rxtools doesn't work with n3DS.

 

[EmceeKerser]

Oh yeah, fair point.

 

[JJTapia19]

Oh yeah, fair point.

Yeah he's on new 3ds :/

Ryan, pls go. You never sent me shit.. stop forcing memes.
On topic:
I like the way pasta works code-wise, but CN is gross, so it'd be best to go mset -> arm9 payload ->arm11 payload (maybe) ->firm reboot.. could probably add emunand via this setup much easier.

QRx's Emunand feature offset found in its unpacked binary. It does load up its file001.bin, which may did something related to a controlled reboot..
If you want to know where it is, you can contact me and let me show you that in a conversation. Yup i don't know if the other guys there ever read the whole posts.
Also I tried to decrypt the mset from 9.8 to test out some symbols, however since the only signatures for me are quite out-dated and i haven't seen later version of sdk.A
How about your progress on your own cfw? Would you share it or its technical methods?
About entries: I did want to know about how to switch between arm9 and arm11, or else two threads in both zones may be ok if possible.
Thus YGW eshop or other patches could be done along the way. Forgive me if i'm too noob.
Yes there is several ROP searcher tool, such as ROP_Gadget(Python) which demands capstone. For extracted code.bin from exefs:
python ROPgadget --rawArch arm --rawMode 32 --binary code.bin (49884 gadgets.. for 9.8 orz)
Once if you're using the correct extracted one that decrypted.. I don't know that helps dude.

MSET as an entrypoint is great, but only for those who are capable of using it, leaving out 2DS and N3DS users. If you can get downgraded MSET working for higher firmwares like Gateway did, however, then 2DS and N3DS users would be free to use rxTools and Pasta+CN respectively to set up.

 

[JJTapia19]

Hope I don't bother any dev asking but how is everything going with emunand, mset and FirmLaunch? I haven't seen any updates from you guy's lately and I really like hearing how things are coming along.Not trying to rush things or anything.Thanks in advance!

Firmlaunch is achieved, now @AlbertoSONIC is updating the companion app so you will be able to use it.

 

[Xenon Hacks]

im very patient but hoping this at some point can be launched through New 3DS downgraded MSET that would be awesome. Congrats to all the Devs for the amazing progress you guys are making after this project is done maybe you guys can go work for Big N.

WOW AWESOME!! that took me by suprise. Congratulations!

Of course there is a limitation on N3DS and we can't launch a higher FIRM than 9.5 on it.

Can we launch Smash Bros now?

Not even an issue (at least until some new badass games comes out that wants 9.6 ) im happy with anything you guys can offer seeing as it's free, I or anyone for that matter has no right to complain about limitations.

+ We now have GBA titles to keep us busy and quiet while you all tinker.

We could launch Smash Bros from the beginning.
