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

It won't break system, but it will work only after firmlaunch.

I want to know too. I also really want to use my amiibos.

Could any o3ds user test the nand dumper and report if he sees a NCSD when hex editing the NAND.bin?

I think the NAND Dumper does not work correctly.
I dumped my NAND on N3DS
The NAND.bin has a size of 1.269.760kb
The NAND.bin (dumped with Gateway Launcher) has a size of 1.833.312kb

The NAND.bin dumped with PastaCFW NAND Dumper has no NCSD inside.
Searched for String(NCSD) with HEX Editor.
result = 0 entries

Yeah i know that it doesn't work on n3ds. But what about old 3ds?

Once New 3DS Emunand drop yes. Once that happens Gateway will be mostly worthless.

Just a question from someone who can't be bothered reading the 200+ pages: I have a N3DS with Gateway emuNAND installed via OOT because I can't afford CN. Is there a method I could use to install Pasta? I'm interested in Pasta mostly because of the AGB support and I have no idea if GW ever intends to add that feature. Thanks.

no, there is now way to do that, saddly

Well, if any of the CFWs can run .3ds games, then Gateway will be completely worthless.

I used pasta to launch rxtools, and now I have both sysnand and an unlinked rxtools emunand. When there is an emunand pasta, I will have 2 emunands, a sysnand, and I can choose between them? I didn't see if I can update rxtools to the latest firm version, so that would be cool with pasta.

Right now I guess I can launch rxtools emunand, then CN, then Pasta, and have an updated firm inside emunand, and install things to it without worrying about bricks right ? While there is no Pasta emunand.

that i not how it works, pasta as of now will force sysnand.

Just tested the nand dumper on my 4.5 o3ds, searched for NCSD and no results found.
It IS the correct size though (same as backup made with hard mod and gateway menu).

Ok thank you for the feedback

by the way, isn't running newer firmware on a sysnand that corresponds to lower firmware dangerous? if for example a newer firmware writes certain files to sysnand, then you go back to old firmware and it attempts to read the same files but they're encrypted using a different key or something -> high risk of bricking the 3ds?

If that was the case, Gateway would break every 3DS

i assumed gateway to boot into emunand when running higher firmware
