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

This is just a suggestion , I already fully took advantage of firmlaunch switch in the settings ! Thank you again !

actually i'm coding it at the moment, it should work properly in 20 minutes and released within 30 minutes

Yes, as you want, great ^^

Edit: pasta, pasta, PASTA ! pasta, pasta, PASTA !

Thats some quick work

 

[ccfman2004]

It's in the todo list/wish list

That's good to hear.

Actually i didn't thought at your solution! Thank you!

Wow. Pasta's GUI is WAYY prettier than Gateways...

What's the word on the Mac Companion app? When will I be able to download the firm.bin file?

Can't you use the firmware.bin of rxTools, it's not the same file ?

not the same, at all ^^'

 

[pakrett]

not the same, at all ^^'

Ok ^^

Edit : So what are these two files exactly ? And the difference ? If you have the time of course (and if it's not too complicated to understand ^^).

 

[ccfman2004]

not the same, at all ^^'

That's the clarification I was looking for.

EDIT: Any ideas on when I will be able to download the firm.bin on my Mac?

I could share mine if you want but not on gbatemp... Or ou can install a virtual machine of xp/7/8 even ubuntu or another linux distro just to have this nearly 1MB file ^^

Still working on it, it's very complicated
I'm stuck in PART 3. I'm trying to use TinyAES to decrypt file3 with the xorred key...

            byte[] file3_dec=AES_Decrypt(file3_array, key);

Then I'll have to port this looong piece of code:

Spoiler

//----------------------- PART 4: EXEFS ------------------------------
  textBox3.AppendText("Getting EXEFS info");
  textBox3.AppendText(Environment.NewLine);

  byte[] EXEFS_offset_array = new byte[4];
  EXEFS_offset_array[0] = file3_dec[0x1A3];
  EXEFS_offset_array[1] = file3_dec[0x1A2];
  EXEFS_offset_array[2] = file3_dec[0x1A1];
  EXEFS_offset_array[3] = file3_dec[0x1A0];
  var EXEFS_offset = EXEFS_offset_array[0] << 8 | EXEFS_offset_array[1]; //TODO: DO THIS BETTER
  EXEFS_offset = EXEFS_offset << 8 | EXEFS_offset_array[2];
  EXEFS_offset = EXEFS_offset << 8 | EXEFS_offset_array[3];
  EXEFS_offset *= 0x200;

  byte[] EXEFS_size_array = new byte[4];
  EXEFS_size_array[0] = file3_dec[0x1A7];
  EXEFS_size_array[1] = file3_dec[0x1A6];
  EXEFS_size_array[2] = file3_dec[0x1A5];
  EXEFS_size_array[3] = file3_dec[0x1A4];
  var EXEFS_size = EXEFS_size_array[0] << 8 | EXEFS_size_array[1]; //TODO: DO THIS BETTER
  EXEFS_size = EXEFS_size << 8 | EXEFS_size_array[2];
  EXEFS_size = EXEFS_size << 8 | EXEFS_size_array[3];
  EXEFS_size *= 0x200;

  progressBar1.Value = 70;
  //-------------------------- PART 5: FIRM --------------------------
  textBox3.AppendText("Extracting EXEFS");
  textBox3.AppendText(Environment.NewLine);

  byte[] file2_array = new byte[EXEFS_size];
  FileStream file2_stream = new FileStream("file2.bin", FileMode.Open);
  file2_stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
  file2_stream.Read(file2_array, 0, EXEFS_size);

  byte[] firm = new byte[EXEFS_size];
  for (int i = 0; i < EXEFS_size; i++)
  {
  firm[i] = (byte)(file2_array[i] ^ file3_dec[EXEFS_offset+i]);
  }
  progressBar1.Value = 90;

  textBox3.AppendText("Saving the FIRM.bin");
  textBox3.AppendText(Environment.NewLine);

  FileStream firm_writer = new FileStream(comboBox1.SelectedItem + "3ds/PastaCFW/firm.bin", FileMode.Create);
  for (int i = 0; i < EXEFS_size-0x200; i++)
  {
  firm_writer.WriteByte(firm[0x200 + i]);
  }
  firm_writer.Close();

  file4_stream.Close();
  file2_stream.Close();
  file1_stream.Close();

  File.Delete("file1.bin");
  File.Delete("file2.bin");
  File.Delete("file3.bin");
  File.Delete("file4.bin");

So it may take a while.

even ubuntu or another linux distro just to have this nearly 1MB file ^^

The Mac and Linux versions are based on the same code...

Can you give me the MD5 or SHA1 of the firm.bin? I want to try something.

you won't be able to generate it without the PC companion, it is a complicated process that will give you a special firm.bin that is different from RxTools or cakeFW

Edit : but note that our firm.bin is generic on O3DS and N3DS : you can share the file (not in here though), and it will work

Does the logic of how this works mean you could enter the menu and hold "R" while choosing "Give me some Pasta" to do the same? (As opposed to it only working with the menu off/"L" not held)
Minor thing, but wondering.

If you can't wait, install Mono in Wine and run the Windows app. You won't able to change Pasta's configuration but you will be able to download firm.bin just fine.

That's why I wanted the MD5 or SHA1 so I could try something.

nope, that doesn't work that way, just go to the setting once in UI, you lazy F**K (the last part of the comment is obviously sarcasm)
