Homebrew [RELEASE] NTRLDR - DS firmware on the 3DS

[RocketRobz]

I have absolutely no idea, lol. It happened for me once.

That's a TWL_FIRM issue that even happens outside of CFW users.
It's scaler likes to do that sometimes.
Holding START or SELECT while TWL_FIRM starts, or waking up from sleep mode can fix that issue.

Just tested holding start+select on my console on wakeup. Firstly it is incredibly difficult on a n3dsxl without a magnet. It is hard to reach the buttons. When I got it, it didn't work. I then tried during cancelling the Home exit prompt since it sorta suspends like sleep and still nothing.

EDIT:

UNLESS you meant "(Holding START or SELECT while TWL_FIRM starts), (or waking up from sleep mode)", because I read it as "Holding START or SELECT (while TWL_FIRM starts), (or waking up from sleep mode)" lol.

Yeah, either hold START/SELECT while TWL_FIRM starts, or wake the system up from sleep mode in TWL_FIRM if you see the doubled tiles.

I've tried compiling it on my own (since the repo doesn't exist anymore), but I get a white screen after accepting the warning message, both with a flashcart and hbmenu... what could I be doing wrong

Hey! I'm curious to try this out but the GitHub repo seems to be down. Would you be able to reupload the file to here or another website? Thanks!

Here's the compiled file, apparently there's still a fork but without releases, so I compiled it

why would this brick an ique

ique isn't fully of the system of other regions lets say a cut down cost saving version like Karen wiis can't play GC

so its a watered down firm version

And hardware

 

[Itzumi]

And hardware

but it still doesnt explain how it would brick it. its just info about the system

I think you're referring to the iQue player

Memory layouts for iQue’s aren’t fully known. Since this writes directly to a predetermined address, it could write to an area for something else, and if that something is critical, boom, brick.

(Still wondering why Nintendo only implemented a papartial write protection for the BIOS on the DS...)

Maybe they were planning for updatable firmware released on cartridges? Idk, I'm just guessing.

But in that case they would've allowed or protected the whole flash drive instead of just half...
Nintendo is really strange sometimes

Is there a possibility of bricking when executing the firmware.nds file in the twilight menu from a 2ds?
I'm afraid to proceed because it tells me to modify the vram...
