Hacking Official [Release] CakesFW

[peteruk]

Not as of now, but you're right I should add some text on the screen which tells you so, to avoid confusion with nightlies.

this would be a very nice addition

Yeap because i haven't been on scene for a few weeks and apparantly you can update to 10.4 emunand. It was just a thought because I'm pretty sure my build is okay but just incase if there was someone there with an old build that doesn't support 10.4 emunand or something.

It'll be an effective preemptive strike agaisnt people asking if their cakesFW supports 10.4 and whatnot

Please stop this meme. Ever since 9.6+ emuNAND support was introduced for n3ds (build 105) it's supported 10.4 emuNAND too. There's no specific build that started supporting 10.4, all that supported 10.3 support 10.4. The difference between current stable and current nightly is that the nightly supports 10.4 __NATIVE_FIRM__. This isn't a requirement for running 10.4 emuNAND. The stable still uses 10.2 NATIVE_FIRM (it's the firmware.bin linked in the OP).

Thanks for all the effort, still not working.

Rough translation:
- Can't correctly execute program (0c000007b) click OK to close application

Sorry man, don't know what else to say. It works 100% for me
Just in case heres the x64 version but thats probably not the problem.
Plus I think we've derailed the thread enough with this now.

No problem won't derail it any further
will test it as soon as i'm home thanks for the effort

[EDIT 1]
Renamed armips64.exe to armips.exe, tested and working without errors
Compiled CakesCFW without problems
Thanks

[EDIT 2]
Well it seems armips (32bit) didn't work cause i used the 64bit dll's, it's now working with the correct dll's , Compiled CakesCFW without problems

So thanks again

Could you also make it print the native firm version as well? =)

Pff... Okay.

Note: I've just bricked my console by being pretty stupid. Should take a few weeks before I can fix it (gives me a great excuse to finally do that hard mod), if I even manage to do so. Until then, development of CakesFW is pretty much dead (unless someone else wants to do something).

 

[DjoeN]

Thanks @mid-kid

Ah shit, that really sucks man. There must be someone nearby who can do a quick mod for you?

Suxs indeed, But if you ever consider, i don't mind donating a bit for a new one

The problem is that I don't have the tools nor experience, have to wait for someone I know to lend me them, and practice a bit first.
I'm a bit weary of meeting people online in real life, so I prefer not doing that. Though if someone with know-how, tools, and a bit of time is nearby Amsterdam, I might consider.

I really prefer not doing that. In the worst case I can buy a new one myself.

I don't really blame you, I have the tools and some experience yet I'm still reluctant to open my console up.
I know there's someone in UK and maybe France who offers the hard mod service, not sure about Amsterdam.

 

[peteruk]

Real sorry to hear about your console @mid-kid

Thanks for all you have given to us, i hope you manage to get it sorted

 

[DjoeN]

correct me if i'm wrong: (and let me know if i can ask/post this (no url is given and i'm just asking if i'm correct))

O3DS/2DS
- /00000049 -> firmware.bin 9.6.0
- /00000050 -> firmware.bin 10.4.0

N3DS
- /0000001B -> firmware.bin 10.2.0
- /0000001F -> firmware.bin 10.4.0


To be able to use NTR i need firmware.bin 10.2? i suppose that's for N3DS only as there's no firmware.bin for 10.2.0 for O3DS?

For o3ds you should use 9.6 (unless NTR starts supporting 10.4). And yes, there is a 10.2 firmware for o3ds, Cakes just doesn't support it.
As for a version list, look in the Cakes source for the ones supported by cakes, and 3dbrew has a nice list of o3ds firmwares with their versions.

Thanks for your answer, all i needed to know

Can I update to the latest nightly and still use 10.2 firmware.bin, or am I required to use the 10.4 one?

Features right now:

• Supports multiple NATIVE_FIRM versions (see this for an explanation).

It's been one of the main features of cakes for a long time. Ever noticed how many different subfolders there are in the patches folder? (I want to restructure the format to fit all the different versions inside a single cake, because it's ugly for redistribution as it is currently. Current draft for the new format: here)

Thanks dude, it's been a long time since I read the OP. I've been using CakesFW since the beginning, I only read the nightly changelogs nowadays and have forgotten that was a core feature.

I hope someone finally jumps on board the CakesFW train and helps you out by contributing while you get your hardware sorted.

Paging @Aurora Wright. If you are able to contribute more, please do so!
