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

[otto888]

@PabloMK7 Both the N3DS and N3DS XL have the ticket. Still not working on XL though.

 

[PabloMK7]

Hey, I have CTRAging in my O3ds 1.0 NAND (as far as I can see it in Hxd the data sectors look like the one in the OP so I know it hasn't been overwritten) but I am having the same problem as @Voxel Studios When trying to use FFF :T

I'll try to find a workaround

@PabloMK7 Both the N3DS and N3DS XL have the ticket. Still not working on XL though.

Do they have the same setup?

Can someone start ctraging with a 3ds cart inserted and report back what happens?

 

[otto888]

Yes, they're both running A9LH/Luma. The only difference is that my XL has the Gateway payload installed as a button combo.
Edit: The XL has a hardmod, but I don't see how that could interfere with the app launching.

Maybe it also depends if a console is XL or not?

I have a Xl and it works

apparently the test program doesn't like it if you have a ds game inserted

Can confirm. New 3DS XL here.

Whatever thing that gives power to the slot-1 has to be removed, no matter the type of cart

It seems to work even when I had a DS flash card inserted.

SM64DS here. It tells me to remove it.

 

[ketal]

The config menu is fully operational btw, I was able to change the max volume levels and other things

Maybe it's something specific with that game, I didn't have issues with Pokémon Platinum, Zelda Phantom Hourglass, or a flash card masquerading as Star Wars Lethal Alliance inserted in the card slot.

Also have a N3DS XL with Luma (A9LH). I open the app either from the Home Menu or DevMenu and it just boots into a black screen.

The tool has that Mario Kart music or it was added by the OP on his video?

You need to hold down the Start button as soon as you launch the app, then keep it held down for a while.

It's part of the tool. You can find it under the audio test section.

It has the MK64 title screen music throughout the tests without editing.

Wait a little bit.

Interesting that it works for some people and not for others. Could working and not working users check with FBI if the ticket for it is present?

Wait.... repair???? Maybe Nintendo installs ctraging in repaired consoles too!!! If that's true. People who have recently repaired his/her 3ds may be lucky

I had a 9.2 console,brand new replacement from the nintendo warranty and with a NAND backup taken with GW when it was released (45 days aprox.) and there isnt anything.

 

[NekoMichi]

Found an entire file browser, already this AGING test is much more advanced than the original NDS version!

You can access it via Misc Menu > File Viewer. It has sections for Rom, SDMC, NAND, Data, and Twln. NAND and Data seem to show empty windows though. It even features a hex reader, text and image viewer!

When opening a file, there are options to open as hex, text (apparently not implemented yet in this build), bitmap, 3D bitmap, or numbered bitmap.

 

[HenryLeonheart]

No luck holding down the Start button. I'll wait for Khangaroo.

 

[ketal]

The file browser is nothing compared to other stuff there's a whole config menu. Also, you can read/dump your production log, that gives some interesting info, for example when the cpu as first powered up at the factory
