Homebrew [Re-release] BootCtr - A simple boot manager for 3DS

[code640]

You will have to change the "L" config on the bootctr to another button, because its the default key of rxTools to acess its configurations, and I believe you cant change the rxTools Button.
That is why you have to press "A" then "Y" to boot rxToos.

Yeah, that was the issue. I had to change the trigger button to type1:R from the app MenuHax.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Probably, not tested though (not for me at least).

This is what I was looking to find out:
Not being dependant on the Menuhax trigger button. So have a unique trigger button set altogether.
Example:
- If I hold R (no matter how long), MenuHax appears.
- If I hold L (no matter how long), rxTools appears (UI)
- If I hold the Left arrow key (no matter how long), rxTools appears (straight into Emunand)
- If I hold the Right arrow key (no matter how long), Pasta CFW loads up.

Do you think that will ever be possible?
For BootCTR to boot with ONLY the trigger button specified (not reliant on the Menuhax trigger button).

New release: v1.2

The only news is compatibility with ctrulib 1.0, so this should make it easier to build with the newer versions of devkitARM.

Thanks to the new version of ctrulib, binary size is reduced by quite a large size in this release: from 305KB to 185KB. Nice.

I have some problems with this version. The thing is that I'm unable to run Cakes.dat.
Here's my config file: http://pastebin.com/raw/z60fkaEV I'm on 9.0E N3DS.

You could try Change cake.dat to the cakes 3dsx on config and copy the cakes.3dsx to the root of your sd card and see if it will boot maybe a bug if the old version worked fine

I'm sure that it'll work, but I have much better bootrate with .dat file.

 

[Columbo2811]

The 3dsx will too work.

Remove offset, delay and playload, they are there only for special purposes.

I can run Cakes.dat without problem in this release, however I am using a pretty old Cakes (release 99 I think).

I modified boot_config.ini file, but it still gives me black screens. Maybe it's something with CakesFW, I'm using the latest 102 release.
Your previous release works fine on my machine and as @Columbo2811 said, it's still possible to use .3dsx version, so there's no need to worry.

Love it !

Here's my config :

DEFAULT : RxTools
R = HBL
L = CtrBootManager (for the Menu and if I need a fast homebrew)

Thanks for your work !

Trying to run ReiNAND with latest version, but neither dat nor 3dsx files don't work.

Try to run with v1.1 release, maybe it is something similar to what @MacGab is experiencing.

Just FYI, I updated my CakesFW to the 102 release, it is still working. For reference, this is my boot_config.ini:

[DEFAULT]
path = /rxTools/sys/code.bin

[KEY_A]
path = /Cakes.dat

[KEY_X]
path = /3ds/rxTools/rxtools.3dsx

[KEY_Y]
path = /3ds/Cakes/Cakes.3dsx

[KEY_R]
path = /boot_hb.3dsx
delay = 0

Been using your version of "Emergency Boot Launcher" since you branched off of Mashers original post.

But haven't used a different version since before you started your own Thread.

Looking at the new config, With the offset and whatnot being new. Should I use it as the config calls for since I use RxTools?

{Default}
path = /rxtools/sys/code.bin
delay = 100
offset = 0x12000
payload = 1

{KEY_R}
path = /boot_1.3dsx

This is something that seems to confuse people: you don't need to set delay, payload or offset options, they only exist for special purposes only.

In your case, it wouldn't make any difference, since this is exactly what BootCtr would do without any of those options.

I thought so. I know I never had any issue loading up Gridlauncher using this. But since it will be my first time using it for launching EmuNAND I just wanted to make sure. Cheers!

Well, this is partly my fault too. I didn't say this initially, so people who read the documentation before version v1.1 was confused with the number of options available, thinking maybe they should set everything.

BootCtr was always made thinking that everything should have sane defaults, you only would need to change something in special cases (that I don't even know if they really exist).

So basically just a "Hard" setting for if there is some sort of weird issue.

No issues here with the latest update and booting into CFW. This one is quite a bit leaner than the other boot manager and seems better from my experiences with it. Thanks
