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

[Slushie3DS]

i have a(nother) question for you folk. i have omega ruby retail cartridge. but it's not up to date. i can't access the nintendo e-shop. can i update it using a cia update? if so how do i do that? just install it with the retail cart in or what?

Use sysUpdate. You can find it on the forum.

Wait, are you trying to play online? You may need to update the gamecart .cia or spoof it. (?) I'm not quite familiar with that.

yeah, i wanna go online on my retail copy of OR. but i need to update the game to 1.4 first. so sysupdate isn't for that right?

Use the eShop spoofer to get it from the eShop or your second option (I don't recommend) download the CIA from the internet and install it to your sysnand.

No, no, no. You are very correct. sysUpdater is for downloading the original OFW packages needed to update to a specific firmware. I am not familiar with updating based on games, but Apache Thunder or @gamequest1 may be able to help you with this.

Ninja'd.

PASTA CFW 1.2
-Added an ARM9 ram dumper, for debug purposes
-Added support to PC Companion App
-Changed the system.txt handling
-Now to autoboot the gui, you don't have to create a bootmenu.txt file. You just have to use the PC Companion App.

PASTA CFW PC COMPANION 1.0
Since PastaCFW version 1.2, you can use the PC Companion app to change PastaCFW settings. For now, pc companion features are:
-Enable GUI autoboot
-Enable ARM9 RAM dumper at pastacfw boot
-See the latest firmware/type that PastaCFW has detected


FOR LINUX AND MAC USERS
THERE'S NO PC COMPANION APP FOR YOU, but you can apply its changes manually:

system.txt is composed by 3 char:

xyz

x=type (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b) = detected model/firmware (you don't need to touch this)
y=gui autoboot ---> 0=disabled, 1=enabled
z=arm9dumper ---> 0=disabled, 1=enabled

Just edit system.txt with a txt editor and you're done!

PASTA CFW 1.2

Great stuff! It's awesome to see development moving so speedily.

What's the RAM dumper especially useful for? Finding new offsets?

It's for debugging, not really usefull to the end user. But yes, it allows to find new offsets and fix the not working ones!

If you have a problem with Pasta, you can provide your RAM dump so the devs can take a look to it.

No need for that. I search offsets directly on Nintendo servers.

Oh ok, didn't know that

I am currently using Palantine CFW. Will Pasta CFW let me update my sysnand to 9.2 so I can play my retail games from cart again?

Palantine uses an EmuNAND, so no, not directly.
You could reinstall the games/move the ticket (if they're linked; not sure you can move ticket if they're not) and transfer saves (savedatafiler to make sure), then do so certainly, but it's not (currently?) so basic a transition.

Edit: D'oh! Forgot the CN part. That'd be important.

Thank you! As I said before, donations goes into PastaCFW Team's capital, so thank you from the whole team!

AlbertoSONIC Question, are you on your own capable of making an Emunand for pasta (needs to be called Pasta-Nand) and implement the Eshop CIA spoofer into pasta itself if you had the time and motivation?

Honestly, no... But we're a team composed by people which focuses on different things: dela on emunand, felipejfc on eshop spoof and regionfree, motezazer on firmloader ecc.. And i'm the one who organizes everything into some code files with a nice gui
