Hacking Official ShadowNAND

[Salamencizer]

I fucked some things up with 0.81 and 0.82, and those need fixing. 0.85 will be a stable release.

Oh nice
I had a question, is it possible to install ShadowNAND without the OTP.bin? I'd hate to search for that OTP in the deep mess of my laptop's hard drives

If you already have a9lh installed, you don't need OTP.bin.

Oh, that's pretty nice. Thanks a lot!

Will there be TWL and AGB patches anytime?

All in due time.

 

[NandoLawson]

Ok, that sounds great. Good luck with that work.

Because this isn't about me looking for a good place for MY homebrew. This is about trying to bring a good standard namespace for ALL THE HOMEBREW.

Just wondering, does that include other platforms like the wii u? (Curious about the 3DS folder)

I don't have a Wii U, and I don't deal in Wii U stuff, however: One of the reasons why I was asked to change it from simply /homebrew/ to /homebrew/3ds/ was because people share SD cards among their Nintendo devices (apparently?..), and so having a /homebrew/ folder would make zero sense when viewed on a Wii/Wii U.

So the current paths allow Wii U to gather things up in their own folder without cluttering the SD root with another folder, which is pretty great since it's like many birds with one stone.

EDIT: To make it clear, I wasn't simply asked to change the path, it was more other devs and I had a talk about this and decided on /homebrew/3ds/ where as /homebrew/ was my initial idea without discussing anyone about it.

Yep, that's pretty much what I thought. Thanks.

The WiiU & Wii can share the same sd card (with the virtual wii, they pretty much have to). The wii stuff is in the root and the wiiu stuff is under SD:/wiiu. I can understand why they'd want that cleaned up too.

I'll be posting a thread explaining why and how and what and such in a bit, so people can ask questions and get informed on as to why this change needs to happen.

This is some really cool stuff even if I personally will not be finding use for this as a N3DS owner with a 64gig microSD. Someone with original 3DS line of console and having say; several smaller cards instead of one huge one would love this long time. I actually have a friend with that situation and that is partly my own fault too.

You could use just the /3ds folder on the sd root
it's where all the homebrew folders go and would be 1 less folder in the SD Card, since it only holds the boot.bin from SaltFW

If that's where all the homebrew folders go, then I wonder why these are still on the root of my SD...

I am only asking. Why we want use shadownand? Thanks..

I am only asking. Why we want use shadownand? Thanks..

Because it cool boot without sd and the futur features will be great and you dont miss other cfws so why dont use it

you dont have to use shadownand, and really its personal preference, some people would like to know that should their 3DS develop a fault and be unable to read SD cards (which does happen sometimes) then their 3DS isn't just a pretty paperweight,

Nice! Now that it's updated, I'm asking this in this thread too: What's the difference between this and Aurora's A9LH fork's latest commit with a built in mini CFW?

Different paths, and better handling of screeninit, as well as a nice altstage2 that makes sure you can boot even if you somehow mess up stage2

Just a question I already installed ShadowNAND v0.8, but now I am a bit lost on how to I update it, any hint?

Install like you did before, just update the payloads.
