Homebrew [Request] CTRAging (3ds debug app) research.

[NekoMichi]

In one of the embedded images, there are two 3DS consoles connected to a machine. One was closed and mounted onto some kind of frame while another was opened and connected to a control panel of some sort. Could one 3DS be used as the control interface for testing another 3DS console?

(The image was labelled as "gyro test" or something similar)

I can boot with whatever firm,but 11.0 seems to work

A little feedback of working with what CFW.

NEW 3DS XL with A9LH Delebile release.

Working for me with:
Luma3DS 5.5 (non dev version)
Luma3DS 5.5 (dev version)
CakesFW (175 SE) (SE=Special Edition from that iso site with all files you ever need!)
SaltFW 2.0b LTS

All of them are going into the "Start Menu" when holding the start button BEFORE you start the app.
All of them are starting the test if the app is startet.

(Always started from Home Menu!)

Having a 4 year old 3ds doesn't give me much hope for finding it on my console.

I noticed it doesn't HAVE to be loaded from DevMenu, as I can launch it from the home menu just fine.

I always launched it this way.

 

[HenryLeonheart]

I don't get it. Can't run the app at all. Currently with Aurora's no screen init a9lh, Luma3DS 5.5.

Are you using the dev version?

 

[HenryLeonheart]

Tried both versions. The Dev version doesn't even boot .__.

Ok, so I think my O3DS will not be of any use. I bought it almost at launch but I updated it till 4.1, after that I installed Menuhax and after that A9LH.

I am getting the fat16 xorpad now with the 4.1 NAND backup I have just to try it out.
Ok, so I got a 000400000F980000.ncch file. I run NCCH Decryptor and it said Exheader / Exefs / Romfs: OK / FAIL/ OK so I guess it doesn't have it.
I tried to do it one more time to see if I got the same result and a message saying "NCCH is not encrypted Success!! 1x processed 0x failed NCCH/NCSD Decryptor succeeded". I don't know what that means so if it is useful for anyone tell me.

EDIT: This is the log:

I do have the N3DS nand backup I did at stock before I installed anything to it. It was on 9.8 FW if I recall correctly. I Could check it as well but don't know if it will serve any purpose now that the N3DS version is out there.

Corrupted exefs, you can send me it if you want, maybe we get more data from it. But at this point, I think it would need factory firmware, since all the dependences point to factory titles (00040001) instead of retail (00040130)

 

[Bullseye]

If you want it I can send it. What do you want, the .ncch file only?

I'll take a look at it.

 

[HenryLeonheart]

After getting it to work finally, I tested the speakers (Evaluation Menu > Speakers > Debug 3 (Speaker Test)) and noticed the sound on the console and go to 2.0 which is really loud and made me think the following. Is it possible to raise the volume of the speakers through CFW (I'm not sure it is possible right now but in the future perhaps?)

 

[PabloMK7]

Tried to run ctraging on citra, without any output after it detects the min firmware. Is citra limited to O3DS?

I tried that too, it just blackscreens. I think it just hasn't all functions implemented aging needs for (low-level-)testing.

 

[Khangaroo]

Someone should try converting it to a .3ds and playing it on a Sky3DS or something.

If there was a way to keep the signature valid...

When you doesn´t press Start on boot it took 26 Minutes until you see a Green Pass Screen

Were there fancy graphics while testing?
