Is there a later version with arm9loaderhax than: release_a9lh_ 012a9c2? Just wondering.

This version works great on my arm9loaderhax o3DS.

Probably a noobish question, but I just modded my 3ds/2ds's yesterday so I fit the bill..

Can I safely use this if I'm already using Cakes on 10.7 emuNAND?

I think I just updated from 2.6 to the latest Nightly (rxTools_2016-03-12T20-38-04) by just putting the updated rxTools-folder onto my SD Card and it seems as if it worked because I get the initial screen, asking me to boot Emunand, Sysnand or Pastamode. I decided to boot Emunand automatically which also seems to work and I'm able to start at least one of the games.

What puzzles me however is that I don't find any option to decrypt the ncchinfo.bin created by the 3DS Simply CIA Converter (this one). I tried starting Pastamode which led to a blackscreen and an automatic (re?)boot into Sysnand. Where do I find this option and is fixing the Pastamode necessary?
Edit: Nevermind, this is the old DevMode from rxTools 2.6...


My system is and O3DS XL running 7.x which worked perfectly fine with rxTools 2.6 (was able to decrypt ncchinfo.bin and play games).
Edit: I installed the MSET downgrade and used this way to launch rxTools 2.6. I didn't change a thing on this part when upgrading to 3.0.

Edit 2: I did some further reading and found out that Xorpad-generation was kicked out of rxTools and now Decrypt9 is "the way to go". However this required Homebrew Launcher which I don't have. Looking at the list for HBL entry points and smea's site only the browser looks feasible for me although I don't want to enable WiFi on Sysnand to prevent any update nags and using this entry point seems to require the usage of browser everytime I want to launch any homebrew app, meaning every time I want to use Decrypt9.
What I found to be a possible solution however is using the DevMode/Pastamode from rxTools to use the FBI injected into H&S to install the HBL.cia (as announced here) and have Decrypt9 renamed as boot.3dsx on the SD card. Would this work on 7.x? At least in my mind this would allow me generate Xorpads from Sysnand without enabling WiFi and still use rxTools launching via MSET.

@simply mod Decrypt9 can be accessed via it's own launcher.dat through the go.gateway-3ds.com URL. Or MSET.
But it may work on the HBL on 7.x? Not sure, I'll check.

Well it doesn't mention anything about what *hax version it works on but it does say that it can be used on 9.2 or below, so I assume it would work on Ninjhax 1.1 through Cubic Ninja.
I believe the HBL.cia only works with *hax 2.x, so that won't work on 7.x Sysnand IIRC.

Thanks for clarifying the first two possible entries. However these don't seem desireable for me as I don't want to enable WiFi and I also would like to keep MSET for rxTools.

The HBL-CIA-possibility still remains unless someone points out some false assumption I made.

Check my edit.
To expand on that, it says here that the HBL cia is "for booting the *hax payloads" from https://smealum.github.io/3ds/, which are *hax payloads that only work on 9.0 and above.

Thanks for pointing out that dependecy. I just checked the "otherapp" payloads on smealum's site and they are only available for 9.0 and above.
So given my wishes (not using WiFi on Sysnand and using MSET for rxTools) I'm out of luck.
So it seems as if I need to upgrade to 9.0-9.2 and use MenuHax to launch rxTools and then use MSET for Decrypt9 or use HBL with the otherapp payload. Do you think this would work?

Thank you very much for your patience, your knowledge and your help! :)

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
