Homebrew [RELEASE]Quick Payload Switcher

[gnmmarechal]

Just a warning. From now on, I'll change the unique ID to 0xA541. @Rinnegatamante warned me that the current unique ID, 0x1541, is used by retail content. So, I'll change that in the next release. Which is probably tomorrow.

Again, scratch that. I've released 1.2.1, which only changes the unique ID and includes part of the code I'll use for the config menu.

v1.3 is out!

First, allow me to apologise. I completely forgot to release this. x.x

I did push the changes to GitHub, but forgot to do the actual release.

Now supports up to 4 more payloads (switched with DPAD). This is getting similar to Luma's chainloading - only it's not chainloading, and actually switching. Again, this is my preference.

I would like to report what could possibly be a bug. I installed the cia on a recently hacked 3ds. However, when i tried to switch the payloads, all i got was a black screen. I shut off my 3ds but it would not turn back on. I thought i would just bring this up.
Also i love the app, i use it on my other 3ds.

uh. Can you tell me what CIA you installed? Also, was it the regular switching mode?
And what do you mean "Wouldn't turn back on" ? This script doesn't mess with anything but the location of the payloads. Did you use a config file to change payload names?

So I could use this to switch which boot.3dsx as well as the payload(Ninjhax 1.0/1.1) I use with this?

huh. No, you can't. You *could* use it to switch only the boot.3dsx or hax payload (by using config files to specifiy original and secondary file), but - this is not its intended use. This is an A9LH payload switcher. Not hax payload switcher. I *could* add an option to switch hax payloads/boot.3dsx , but I don't know why'd you want to do so with an app that by default reboots the system afterwards (which is because of switching the payload, so you boot into a different CFW (which is what I use it for anyway).

I want to be able to switch between both versions on ninjhax without having to go in and manually rename the files every time I need to. I want to because I have homebrew that requires one or the other versions. I'll just look into a different way of doing it.

I'm sorry if i wasn't clear enough. I downloaded the latest version from this thread. I am using the standard luma arm9loaderhax.bin file as well as the arm9loaderhax.bin from wolfvak's bootAnim9. I renamed one of them to arm9loaderhax_switch.bin and then launched the Quick Payload Switcher. After a few moments, the screen goes black and does not load back into the home menu, so i am forced to turn it off. When i turn my 3ds back on, nothing loads and I am left with a black screen.
Could the SD card be an issue, i have had trouble with this particular one before.

Perhaps so. I'm using the latest CIA (at GitHub) right now, and I haven't found any such issue. It could be a faulty card, I guess? Though the issue seems quite strange.

Welp, I guess I'll update this to do this with FIRM payloads.
