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

The way we do is : using the original source and apply a xorpad.
The way you want we to do is : using a forged source and apply a xorpad.

I suggesting xoring NUS files directly instead of this whole extracting mambo-jambo. There's two encryption layers: you remove first by using titlekey/aes and xoring second... While you can cover both encryption layers with one single xorpad.

Maybe this is being too clever, but...

1. make launcher download NATIVE_FIRM (http module is a thing, I think? Might need kernel hax and srv: reinit for non-spider) and save it on SD
2. make launcher create a file "decrypt_firm.dat"
3. continue booting into ARM9
4. in ARM9, check for decrypt_firm.dat
5. if decrypt_firm.dat exists:
   1. open title.db
   2. read encrypted titlekey from title.db
   3. decrypt titlekey
   4. decrypt NATIVE_FIRM and save it on SD
   5. delete "decrypt_firm.dat"
6. boot Pasta GUI

And the user won't even need to notice.

holy shit what a sweet update! thank you and keep it up!

PastaCFW is certainly one of the better looking CFWs GUI wise.

What GUI are you talking about? It just boots an OTF patched System Menu.

Olalala... Hold L when you boot it !

BTW, i just fixed a tiny issue with the firm.bin path inside the soft, will update the binaries available in a sec, then the firmlaunch will work
edit : binaries updated !

please note that while in firmlaunch mode, you won't be able to install stuff from FBI (or any CIA manager) through Cubic ninja (but any CIA manager installed on the nand will work)! (we will have to somehow setup a way to disable firmlaunch for those situations)

Hmm, I can't use the new PastaCFW with NTR CFW.

Search for it then.

You need to disable the firm launch to use the cubic ninja exploit.

that is the same issue than FBI, you boot a firm with many flaws fixed, don't expect other homebrew to work through firmlaunch, we will defenitly need a way to turn firmlaunch off

same problem here :/
It won't boot because the FIRMLAUNCH breaks it? (not sure about that)

Ah, there's a thing I forgot to tell you. There's theme support! Just edit the images included in the source code, convert them to .bin using the makebgr.bat file (drag and drop on it, needs imagemagick) and then put the properly named images in the UI folder inside sd/3ds/PastaCFW/. Feel free to share themes here!

You forgot to add makebgr.bat (and pastaConfig for Linux and Mac)

In other words, I just have to rename/delete firm.bin.

the makebgr file is in the gfx folder, and there is no config for mac or linux yet

yeah, but a toggle in the options section would be cleaner ^^
