Gateway mode still uses the old keys regardless of what firmware sysnand is on. I know this, because I wasn't able to use the save from my Pokemon Alpha Sapphire retail game after I dumped it and this was on a 9.2 system.

I had to use PowerSaves and a special tool to decrypt it first so I can reimport it into the rom with SaveDataFiler. (unfortunately not all games will have a tool for this and you would also need PowerSaves)

Yep, the firm0 needs to be encrypted. But we can easyly have a xorpad for that by downloading the console target firm from the CDN. ;)

Also, yes, the save and card dumping / restoring is one of my next goals. Save decryption is too.
But i need time for this, since some things are not documented.
Save export/decryption and import/encryption? Yes please. I hadn't even considered that.

Also, i hope to make this public sooner or later.

Aw, damnit. I knew I shouldn't have cashed out for a Gateway last month! Congrats though, that looks nice. Do you use part of the Gateway payload to boot into EmuNAND?

Not getting my hopes high, but will this only work for 4.x?

I would think not, because he uses the browser exploit to load it. I'm no expert in any way, but it looks like "rxMode" is gonna be a part of the next version of rxTools. RxTools support up to firmware 9.2, so rxMode should support up to 9.2 as well.

So many questions.

Sooner, or later than KARL3DS? What will rxMode offer that KARL3DS doesn't? Why are you choosing to go it alone instead of working with the KARL3DS guys? Does your philosophy differ to theirs, and if so how?

Will it be part of rxTools, and if so, what kind of tools would require you to boot into the home menu?

Not getting my hopes high, but will this only work for 4.x?
Gateway can be launched via the browser exploit if you're on 4.5, so I suspect that if you updated to 4.5 you'd be able to use this.

If not, the KARL3DS devs will support the MSET/DS profile exploit.

Guess you'll be keeping this one closed source? :P Either way, your releases for 3DS have been fantastic, really appreciate your hard work. :D Any plans for a feature set yet, or still deciding?

Time to explain, i guess.
-Since i do not know when KARL will release, i'll do on my own choice, this is another kind of project
-I offered them my help but they said they didn't need it. No problem to me, i actually continued with my project
-I personally do not care about piracy, what really matters to me is the fact right now offering free piracy to anyone can kill the console, and kill Gateway. Feel stupid to hear, yeah, but think about it, if Gateway exits the scene, there will not be progress anymore.

It supports every 3DS/3DSXL/2DS with firmare below 9.2. The choice is the web browser just becouse it's free, while CN is not.
It should not be too hard to implement mset support if you really want it. Though, i'll prefer to give support for mset for 4.x and 6.x too if i can. We'll see.

To boot it you'll just need an addictional file, not much. It's required to make this legal to share. But i promise that the setup will be noob-proof.

I cannot tell if this will be in the next rxTools release, but my goal is to implement it the most soon as possible. Also, yeah, i'll close the source of rxMode; though, rxTools will continue to be open source, so the GitHub repo will continue to be updated with all the new features, just excluding the cfw side.

As for now, rxMode can offer a FREE solution to boot emuNand, it supports the last firmware. I'm working to get region-free too.
As for signatures check, i will not disable them in the first release. It is part of my ethics about keeping the scene in life.
Until i'll disable them (and let you pirate how much you want), i can implement much cool features, like a gameshark engine, maybe screenshot and regionfree and a simple homebrew loader. My plan is to offer completely free and stable cfw, along with a complete toolset for the console (which is rxTools).

No plans for N3DS : i do not have one, i do not have plans on buying one, and this will limit the damage for Gateway and Nintendo, even though there shouldn't be any.

Suggestions:
The ability to select which partitions to decrypt would be neat. Waiting for my ctrnand to dump when all I wanted was FIRM*.bin is a pain.
A menu item to reboot the system. My thumbs (and power button) would thank you.

*insert generic "thanks for your hard work" phrase here*

Seriously, these are amazingly useful tools and stupid easy to use. (So the best kind of tools)
I'm looking forward to more goodies being added in the future.

OMG! Screenshot feature! I would love that since some games does not allow screenshot capture...


Probably will be a feature which will be implemented, here a sample with OoT3D : P

That looks a bit funny, it has red outlines around some things. Is it merging the left and right 3D images or something? Rather than taking it in 2D mode?

I don't know why it happened, i didn't remember if 3D was enable at this moment(i belive which was the crapy program which i used to dump the Framebuffer), but it was dump from the FCRAM(LCD Framebuffer).

Wow, such a fast release! Unfortunately, it freezes with a gray screen while trying to load rxtools :(

  • 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.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
