Hacking Official [Release] CakesFW

It does regionfree and patches the "Ver." string. This is just temporary for people who can't wait for it.

I hope the ver string doesn't stay or is optional, I like it looking clean. It's why I use cakes lol.

Will be optional, but you can't disable it in the current 3ds_injector.cake.

Sweet, thanks.

I don't know how python handles multiple versions on windows, but on linux you specify the python version by calling either python3 or python2. Modify the makefile to call the right command on windows.

Like said, i used a laptop that had no python installed (from my kids) and installed python 3 only on it. so there should not be any problem with conflicting python versions

Use py -3, or the regular python command.

 

[DjoeN]

found the culprit: PYyaml isn't available for python 3.5.1 and the unofficial wheel gives errors when trying to install with pip :/

any compiled version with latest changes around to use?

Thanks

I don't see your point. It bricks if updating while FIRM protection patch is disabled. That's why I said it would be great if that was enabled by default...
If FIRM is protected, then A9LH would be still here after the update, so even if that bricks, you could debrick easily. That's the point of enabling FIRM protection by default.

From how I read the post, if you have FIRM protection on without A9LH, it bricks. My point is a non-A9LH user might accidentally load sysnand instead of emunand and update, and if you tried to update, you'd now have a brick and no way to recover without a hardmod.

Great job! This looks really good already and can be become even more awesome.

So i can just change the dat file on my sd and merge the 3ds and cakes folders to test this?

Thanks!

Yes, and you can delete all the folders inside the patches folder because they are not needed anymore. Don't forget to also copy the .cake from this post to the patches folder and to enable it in the Cakes menu.

That's actually the opposite. If someone doesn't have FIRM protection and updates with A9LH, it bricks.

That said, if someone tries to update with FIRM protection and A9LH, it could brick since the FIRM wouldn't be valid, but if the patch is enabled only on A9LH (as I said before), it shouldn't be a problem.

I meant, an option to enable them by default IF conditions are filled (like A9LH present).

Not sure it's a bug or not, but the menu freezes when trying to select an emunand that doesn't exist:

There is a number "8" that is highlighted blue on screen. After pressing D-up, the "8" turns white, and then the menu freezes.

 

[GBHAKC75]

@mid-kid By any chance, would you use the keydb feature introduced by @d0k3 ? (https://gbatemp.net/threads/downloa...yption-tools-wip.388831/page-153#post-6213119)
That would be great to have one file with all keys instead of all those keys at SDcard root...

Thanks, that's a bug. Will try to fix.

I don't see why not. But yay a new format for no reason other than having less files on the SD? ...okay.

A lot of people around here (including me) likes to keep their things clean, that seems to be a great way to manage keys. It also should be easier to find keys from that site for new users.

Not really, as it's harder to know which keys are included in the file, but okay.

Well, I was assuming that the provided file should had current needed keys.
Thanks !
