Hacking RXTools issues

[astronautlevel]

Apparently Gateway doesn't let you play GBA .CIA files. Do you know if that's true or not?

Yeah, that's true. Gateway cannot play GBA files because it doesn't apply the proper kind of reboot patches.

Do you know if it's possible to use Gateway OR rxTools?
Or does the launcher.dat have to be there for each of them? Therefore there can only be one Launcher.dat?

Launching rxTools via ctrbootmanager does not require Launcher.dat

Create two different entries in your boot configuration, and put whichever one you want to boot by default on the top.

@homework Oh, I think I know what's wrong

Use this as the gateway entry:

{
    title ="GW";
    path ="/3ds/GW/GW.3dsx";
},

By the way, how would I install bigbluemenu or DevMenu on CFW (non gateway)?

Also when I boot EmuNAND from RXTools now it's just a black screen. Any ideas?

If you already have FBI installed, you shouldn't need devmenu; they serve the same purpose.

If you still want it, you can download the devmenu CIA and install it with FBI.

If you don't have FBI, you can install devmenu or BBM using Gateway to your EmuNAND and it should show up in rxtools.

Hm, that's strange. Can I see the boot config again? Sounds like your offsets could be wrong.

I figured that's how it would work.

// Boot menu configuration
boot_config =
{
    // Default timeout in seconds
    // If timeout = -1, disable autoboot
    timeout = 3;

    // Some devices (n3ds?) seems to have
    // some timing problems when using timeout=0 (autoboot).
    // You may increase this value to improve boot success rate.
    // Default delay (8) should be good for o3ds, 2 seems good for n3ds
    autobootfix = 8;

    // if timeout = 0 (autoboot),
    // hold this key to enter the menu
    // keycode list : https://goo.gl/4XLDIL
    recovery = 2; // SELECT

    // Default boot entry
    default = 0;

    // Boot menu entries (11 max)
    entries =
    (
        {
            title  = "rxTools";
            path = "/rxTools/sys/code.bin";
            offset = "0x12000";
            key = 0; // key to override default boot entry (A)
        },
        {
            title  = "HomeBrewMenu";
            path = "/boot_hb.3dsx";
        },
        {
            title  = "HomeMenu";
            path = "homemenu"; // magic path for homemenu, do not change
        },
        {
            title  = "Reboot";
            path = "reboot"; // magic path for reboot, do not change
        },
        {
            title  = "Shutdown";
            path = "shutdown"; // magic path for poweroff, do not change
        }
    );

    // RGB colors
    theme =
    {
        bgTop1 = "4a0031";
        bgTop2 = "6f0149";
        bgBottom = "6f0149";
        highlight = "dcdcdc";
        borders = "ffffff";
        font1 = "ffffff";
        font2 = "000000"; // selection
        bgImgTop = "/yourimage.bin"; // 400x240 pixels
        bgImgBot = "/yourimage2.bin"; // 320x240 pixels
    };
};

I don't see anything wrong. What happens if you hold L when you select rxTools?

tt boots the settings. Let me try it again.

Ah now it works.
