I decided to release a new important Nightly Build with a really cool new feature: romFS script loader for CIA/3DS builds.
First of all here's the link to download this new release: https://github.com/Rinnegatamante/lpp-3ds/tree/master/bin
What does it means? It means that now main script for CIA/3DS builds will be bundled in the executable so recompiling the sourcecode to edit main script is no longer needed!
To build a working CIA/3DS homebrew you should follow these steps:
1) Download the Nightly Build version: https://github.com/Rinnegatamante/lpp-3ds/tree/master/bin
2) Download makerom.exe, 3dstool.exe, cia_workaround.rsf, gw_workaround.rsf and buildscript.bat from the repository: https://github.com/Rinnegatamante/lpp-3ds
3) Create a folder called romFs and place inside this folder the index.lua file.
4) Create a banner.bin and an icon.bin files to use as banner and icon with whatever you want (bannertool and similars for example).
5) Edit the RSF files to change homebrew name, Unique ID and Product Code.
6) Launch buildscript.bat.
7) Profit!
This is how your folders should look like before launching buildscript:
Tell me if it works fine for you!
Some issues with the 3dsx version:
- When I exit to HBL, other apps get a little messed up (ftbrony screen gets unstable)
- At the 4th or 5th time you get out of it back to HBL, the launcher stops working. If I try to run LPP again it won't find the LUA file. If I try to open ftbrony it'll tell me it's unable to open something. The only option I have is to reboot the system entirely so I can resume coding and testing.
- If I let my lua app running idle for some minutes it'll eventually crash -- screen will display garbage and the system totally freezes and I have to reset it.
System: O3DS 9.2 using Menuhax.
Ftbrony error after leaving the app for the 5th time:
Edit: By the looks of it, I lose access to the sdcard. Or memory. Or something. :|
I know this is not very important, I can just reset the system and blabla, but it's very annoying and time consuming during coding. Even more so for someone very experienced like me who do things wrong a LOT before getting it to work, haha.
