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

[Hammyface]

I am using CubicNinja to launch FBI, but I keep getting error messages when I try to install CIAs. The error messages are "Install failed! Raw error: 0xe0e083ee, Module: AM (0x20) Level: Usage (0x1c) Summary: Invalid argument (0x7) Description: invalid combination (0x3ee). "

It is giving me this error and I did first boot into Pasta CFW then launched Cubic Ninja again to load FBI. Still won't work. I did the "software management" as suggested in the OP. I am confused. Ever since I lost 4 Swords on my DSiXL this is all I wanted. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

But it's plausible right? Like in time something we might be able to expect. That will be amazing if that is the case.

Maybe Soon™.

Maybe this small CFW project will inspire someone else to develop (and release) an even better CFW.

The KARL3DS devs say that they're months away from a release, when they already have a working emuNAND solution with signature checks patched out in this here video getting into Gateway mode without a Gateway card:



^This was more than two, fucking, months ago! But nope. They're "months" away from a release. Oh please...

I think they're waiting for someone to come up with a magical way to cripple the CFW so that it doesn't allow "piracy". But then they say that they'll keep the arm9 payload option available (which is all that Pasta CFW basically is).

It's their work buddy, they can do with that whatever the f*** they want.
Hell they can even tease you until you cry and never release it all.

Be happy with what's there ... you have a CFW now which is free

Here here! Well said ^^

It won't be called "KARL3DS" anymore once it's released. Make that IF it's released. They most likely won't budge on the (posibility of, but most likely to happen anyway) piracy thing. I mean, it's in the name... That's what the "A" stands for in "KARL".

Now that a ROM loader is out, people are no longer waiting for KARL and showing their true self... and it is ugly

QTF.

Relys wasn't getting into Gateway mode without a cart, he was demonstrating that our emuNAND was compatible between our modifications and Gateway's. Our firmware lacked (and still lacks) region spoofing, firmware spoofing, and emuNAND detection from settings, among other features we were hoping to get at.

capito27 Autodetected fw 9.x but it's actually 4.5 (downgraded using the GW launcher)
I had to revert to the old version.

Guys this is a very exciting read. I admit once the 3ds came out I fell off the hacking/homebrew scene. I did buy a blue smash bros 3ds xl earlier this year and knew not to update. the 3ds is on 7.2.0-17u. I do have a smash brothers cart. does that game have 8.0-8.1. I do have a couple copys of CN so once I get the right firmware I think I'm good. thanks for any help.

 

[Pacman`]

I got mine for $5 at GameStop

Do *you make good cherry pies?

BTW, I didn't buy a CN. Got a blue-button Sky3DS and not regretting it
It's just expensive (esp with 20% exchange rate)

 

[tony_2018]

They sure are a salty bunch. It gives me great pleasure seeing them trying to whore some attention on the web while PASTA is killing it!

Was waiting for you to comment hahaha.

I'm afraid you are sorely mistaken. If anything can be learned by the flaming of the KARL team, they have probably lost all interest in releasing anything at all now. Or atleast, even less incentive than they had before.

And what's more, they now have even more solid proof that the profile of for-piracy devs working on CFW are newbie 3ds devs (such as capito27, which, as he says, is still learning C "programmation") that just barely can code a 8-byte simple patch (for which the offsets were not found by himself even).

The conclusion that can be drawn here is that I do not foresee a very feature-filled Pasta CFW in the future..

Only time will tell. Oh, and let's not forget KEYS KEYS KEYS for 9.6+ New 3DS

I am wondering, why all the hate against my lack of knowledge on C (at no point I stated my knowledge about other languages...)? I am a newbie when it comes to 3DS developpment, i admit it, but non the less, is that a reason to bash the fact that i simply put together a PROVISORY solution that would enable signature checks to be disabled for the public (with the piracy that comes with it, but it is not the time to talk about that.)?

I never stated at any point in this thread (or anywhere else) that I had any intention to make further features for this payload, i will surely add a few things to this project (like autobooting and such) to improve the user experience. But i have no intentions to add emunand support, other entrypoints or anything further for the matter.

This project (in my vision and ideal) is simply to allow the consumer to have an easy access to signature patching, not to have a ton of features like others CFW or tools.

Now, I know for a fact that my point of view is not anywhere close to motezazer 's (to take someone involved) point of view, he has plans to add other entry points, he has ambitions, which i don't and it is perfectly fine.

This is not a "Dev CFW", this is a "Comunitiy CFW", to be improved upon by anyone and everyone that can or want to.

You obviously have your oppinions about piracy (and me ?), and i will not try to change them, it would be a pointless argument.

 

[Apache Thunder]

I have a feeling some random poster touched off the argument somewhere deep in this thread. I haven't really been keeping track of the argument since it's pointless. Agreed. It's best to just continue on with discussion about PastaCFW and it's future. This piracy crap and the war of the CFWs needs to be discussed elsewhere.


The countless posts of users saying "The devs are butthurt" "They are salty about the piracy" and crap can stop. You guys aren't helping the situation posting crap like that and I would hope the mods will nuke all posts that do that.

I appreciate you capito27, you are awesome my friend

Karl devs aren't the only ones out there. In fact I'd say they are amongst the least contributing. Karl isn't the cornerstone to 3ds modding, as they would like people to believe. Also, I think you're underestimating peoples need for recognition. Pasta may not survive, but open source will.

So let me get this straight. This whole flame war started because this CFW was built by more inexperienced coder and not one of the "celebrity" devs with high status in the forum and that you are afraid they'll stop working on Karl3DS because this exists? That seems like a really stupid reason to start a flame war over. Since when was it a crime to be new at something? PastaCFW seems pretty open source and already there's others who are willing to contribute features to it that the original poster can't/won't provide. I don't really understand why this is a bad thing. Sure PastaCFW might not have all the features that Karl3DS will have, but perhaps that's not the point. Can't we all just get along?

 

[Wowfunhappy]

I just wish in general that 3DS devs were a bit more open with their discoveries.

For example: the current NTR patch which allows for eShop access on 9.2 was apparently known for ages among a lot of 3DS developers. Everyone else had to buy a gateway and set up emuNAND, until even that stopped working.

A somewhat less extreme example: there was about a month (I think?) between the release of Bootstrap and Decrypt9. In that time, there was no public way to generate firmware Xorpads, even though the KARL devs had implemented such an ability. I found an accidentally-uploaded Payload on Github and was able to use it to play around with region changing before anyone else could.

I understand the need to be careful with regards to piracy (which, for whatever it's worth, I'm not a fan of), but some of these things seem as though they were kept secret for no reason. And that's what leads to people endlessly scouring Pastebin in the first place.

 

[Deleted User]

I did not want to offend you capito27, if so I am sorry. But I was simply stating facts and thanks for reaffirming it.

As for KARL not being the only devs, that is true. But as they say, the past is the best predictor for the future, so where are the other devs contributing to a CFW?
Almost *ALL* of them that have the experience and knowledge are AGAINST piracy, and are *VERY* careful with what they release to the public.

I'm sorry if you do not realise this yet.

it all comes down to sharing resources, id share a beer with anyone that can unlock my 3ds's true potential.
