Hacking Official [Release] CakesFW

[mid-kid]

Will there be a Ninjhax launch option?

Why would there be?
That's completely out of the scope of the project. Ninjhax doesn't even need arm9 kernel mode.
There's one thing I'd like: A .cia version of the homebrew launcher.

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

just wanna ask. i see most cfw use top screen as main screen. is it possible to use bottom screen as main screen and top screen for banner?.

Have you even booted it? I was too lazy to disable the debugging messages. They're drawn on the bottom screen.
It's just that the top screen has a lot more space, and it's the first screen you'll be looking at.

I'm on 9.2 and don't want to downgrade for MSET but I'd like to have a comfortable option to launch a CFW offline to access emunand.

You'd be able to install an unsigned Cubic Ninja to your SysNAND and boot that to load Ninjhax, which can then be used to boot whatever CFW you'd like.

 

[Fatalanus]

This would be a major step forward, indeed.

 

[pikatsu]

Like Syphurith said, you won't be injecting anything. Don't worry it won't brick your console.

I agree now

 

[The Real Jdbye]

The cake is a lie.

Nice work though. The ability to for the end user to easily add more patches can turn out very useful.

Not sure what's the highest firmware version ninjhax supports, but let's say that it's 9.2. I do have the offsets/patches for 9.2 firm, but I'd rather not support two different firms for an edge case. Also he mentions wanting to do it offline, that's totally outside of the scope. Maybe someone (who's not as lazy as me) will roll out an android app that can load Cakes.dat.

Damn it!
I was hoping to not to have many jokes with it's name, even though I admit it's fun.

The best thing is that we now have an Open Source alternative that can be mantained in case Roxas doesn't care enough to continue developing rxTools now. Hopefully Pasta gets emunand soon as well. Also can't wait for 9.x MSET.

While I don't use Roxas work (I have a N3ds) nor do I appreciate his(her? I have no clue if it's a guy or girl) AP shenanigans, I know he does care but he's been rather busy with crapola.

You mean you didn't expect someone to say that?

 

[NEO117]

Say... Now I'm wondering. If I have a Gateway and I'm loading Emunand using the MSET method, can I load this (when it's made for N3ds) or Pasta using their respective MSET hacks? As far as I know Gateway allowed us to downgrade n3ds mset back to 4.X right?

In fact, I expect an instrumental version of Still Alive as BGM for the menu in future versions.

As long as the cakes can be ported to n3ds, I'd say yes.

Sweet yo! I'll have gateway muffins for the time being.

Oh and uh... Thanks for not being a douche.

This actually motivates me somehow.
I was starting to doubt if I did right by releasing this.

 

[Deleted-355425]

nice! 1st one looks real good.

 

[mid-kid]

Many thanks. There's a chance I might add one of these to the OP, but, I was looking for something more... cakey.
I like the reference, though.

There is much problems for devs. I hope you can fix your makefile oneday. Also there is potential problems in the names.
Go to see the forks on github, and find me. I've tried to fix it a bit.
1. Make sure the FIL handle is closed before leave, and show the FRESULT instead of just 1 or 0. 0 is FR_OK.
2. Tried to set a byte for boot-option in "0:cakefw.config". This would be used if you do not hold one key when entering.
I don't have my console at hand. Maybe you could build it again and test it out, and first - review it please.
I won't make a pull this time, you can cherrypick it from the branch to yours.
BTW: Codebase is a little awful. I thought you could take a look at pasta's cfw_loader part - which is already written in a better way.

--Deleted some questions about why start a similar open-sourced fw.--
Now i would quickly back to sleep. Hope this could proceed more. Ezzz.

Looks great! Wished it was also on the New3DS.
