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

[m45t3r]

hey! I have seen recently the updates, and they are soo cool, I have a question, How do I set an image for TopScreen and other to LowerScreen?... Is it even possible? Or can you add it to next release? I would love it!

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------


you can set CTRBootManager as another Key, [KEY_SELECT] path = / ctrbm.3dsx

No, it isn't possible to set a image in lower screen yet. If I am planning to add? Not really.

It isn't difficult per se, however I don't see a utility for it.

Ohh.. too bad :C hope you change your mind soon . Well, I'll report how it have been working for me, on N3DS 9.2.0-20U, I've been having problems launching rxTools and Gateway with spash_image, I'm using a png 400x200 converted to bin, without splash_image, everything works perfect. Besides that, when I put KEY_ZR or KEY_ZL, it didn't recognize them when trying to Launch Gateway or HBLauncher for example, haven't tried with C-Stick command, maybe the same.

Here's my Config file:

[GLOBAL]
splash = 0

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

[KEY_Y]
path = /Gateway.3DSX

I'm using last release, and I'll try now with a 2DS to report later . Thanks for this tool!

splash should be 400x240

I just add the code from ctrulib, don't know if there is a need to handle the N3DS buttons differently. Since I don't have a N3DS, I can't test either, however I am gonna investigate and see if I find something.

Yep, you're right.

 

[pbanj]

i used it on my n3ds with the buttons and it worked just fine.

also he wants to use a splash but has it set to 0

he should have it like

[GLOBAL]
splash = 1 or 3
splash_image = /boot_splash.bin

 

[MAXLEMPIRA]

splash should be 400x240

yeah, sorry, that's the size that I've being using

Ok, no problem, maybe something is wrong with my boot_config

That is my actual configuration, when I've tried to use splash_image, I've used splash = 1 and splash_image = /bootimage.bin, then I've tried with splash = 3 "....", but keep failing too much times to boot on rxTools or Gateway, can you post your config to see if it works for shoulder buttons?

sorry it took so long i had to find the file(im now using a9l)

[DEFAULT]
path = /Cakes.dat
delay = 1200
offset = 0x12000
payload = 1

;Each key can be defined using a section, like the example below. Section
;names must be ALL caps, and between "[]". Valid keys:
; * Common keys: KEY_A, KEY_B, KEY_X, KEY_Y, KEY_L, KEY_R, KEY_SELECT,
; KEY_START.
; * D-PAD: KEY_DUP, KEY_DDOWN, KEY_DLEFT, KEY_DRIGHT.
; * Circle pad: KEY_CPAD_UP, KEY_CPAD_DOWN, KEY_CPAD_LEFT, KEY_CPAD_RIGHT.
; * N3DS-only: KEY_ZL, KEY_ZR, KEY_CSTICK_RIGHT, KEY_CSTICK_LEFT,
; KEY_CSTICK_UP, KEY_CSTICK_DOWN.

[KEY_ZR]
path = /boot.3dsx

[KEY_ZL]
path = /ReiNand.dat
delay = 3000
offset = 0x12000
payload = 1

;The first advanced option is "delay". Delay is a number of microseconds to
;delay the application boot.
;Why this is important? It may improve the booting of some homebrews and CFWs.
;For example, O3DS autobooting with themehax, using either rxTools or
;CakesFW with Brahma2 loaders will have increased boot rate chance with 100
;ms of delay. For Homebrew Launcher (and other homebrews) the delay may be
;set to 0, unless your homebrew needs network connection during boot (such as
;FTBrony 1.x). In this case you may increase the delay (for example to 5000,
;or 5 seconds) to makes sure that you have a valid network connection.
;By default delay is set to 1500 (1.5s). This is a value that seems to work
;well with CFWs, without delaying the boot of homebrews by too much.

[GLOBAL]
splash = 1
splash_image = /boot_splash.bin

i have attached my splash so you can see if yours just isnt made right

Are you using something like lesshax? because there is a service handle that is needed to use the zl and zr button, which is not available in less hax.

Is it possible to disable the debug-text on the Touchscreen?

Read the config file on the github

cannot find a option for this...
tried it with:

[GLOBAL]
splash = 3
splash_image = /rei/blackscreen.bin

but the Debug Text is still there :| want to disable it completely

okay, it seems it's not implemented in the Arm9LoaderHax Version of it atm :/

Let me just be clear of something: BootCtr9 is not made by me. It is made by @RednaxelaNnamtra. So go ask him.

I am planning to write my own version of BootCtr with A9LH support, however it will be much simpler than BootCtr9 (it will be based in arm9select). Anyway, I didn't write any code yet, so don't ask for ETAs or anything.

okay, thank you anyways

Red is aware of the issue. I told him about it a few pages back.

 

[RednaxelaNnamtra]

I added the possibility to configure this and some other things in the new BootCTR9 release.

It works GREAT!

Is this a correct cfg?

[DEFAULT]
path = /GW.3dsx
delay = 1900
offset = 0x12000
payload = -1
splash = 0
splash_image =

[KEY_L]
path = /rxTools.dat

[KEY_X]
path = /HomebrewLauncher.3dsx

Nvm, I answered that myself by testing it. It works.
