Hacking Official [Release] CakesFW

[mid-kid]

@mid-kid
Do you mind if we create a wiki page on the github?
This could be handy for the newbies.

I don't feel like writing all the info in the OP on there, but sure, if you want to go fill it. It'll help with people being able to add to it freely.

Hey, I'm using CakesFW and my activity log has been totally butchered, unfortunately it went on for a long time before I had noticed what was happening, but every single hour is filled with System Settings being used, it has 9999:00 hours played, maxed out, and it's kind of ruined my log. How can I fix this?

Anon pls, who cares?

When I select Cakes on the homebrew launcher it just goes to a black screen and stays that way. Yes, I have tried deleting and reinstalling it on my sd card.

Hm. Try a few more times, or try this Cakes.3dsx: http://chunk.io/f/014612541fa04235a6f7593c86a4a200.3dsx

@mid-kid, this might be a bit of a stupid question, but my involvement with the 3ds scene pretty much ends with my 3ds. Truth be told I jumped into a9lh without fully understanding what it does, but have come to understand it a bit more with use.

Anyway, I was kind of devastated when I installed cakes for a9lh and realised it didn't support gba cias or ds cards, but was equally pleased when you updated to include those features. With quite a bit of trouble shooting on my end I got it working. The issue, however, is that I used an updated arm9loaderhax.bin that someone posted in this thread, as I couldn't seem to find any builds with the updates.

This post is really just a long way of me asking how to find updated Arm9 payloads for future releases.

U make them from the dat file. I norm upload them every few days or so for the nightlies and for each release.

Awesome. I'll just keep a look out for your posts.

Btw, would I have had to go through that process for setting up cakes 1.3.8 (I think that was the version) when I set up a9lh? If so I should just be able to look those steps over again in the guide.

To do what? Make the bin file? If you look at the release page for v138 it tells you how to make the bin file

Right on. Thanks for the help.

To be honest, I recmmend using a boot manager to boot CakesFW, if you don't want to bother extracting the arm9loaderhax.bin from the Cakes.dat
For BootCTR9, this would be the config:

[BOOTCTR9]
screenEnabled = 1
screenLog = 0
fileLog = 0
key_delay = 1000

[DEFAULT]
path = /Cakes.dat
screenEnabled = 1
delay = 200
offset = 0x12000
payload = -1

I'm looking for the next stable release and all the new stuff you'll add in it.
FOr me, this is the most reliable CFW, easy to set up and reliable.

This. Is there an estimated date for the next official release with all the changes and new additional features?
