They allowed the patching of system apps in a commit yesterday. Hourlies already have it. This was done because of the SSL-patch the SciresM put out

So wait, what option is it named in the Luma3DS config to patch system apps? I have the latest hourly I believe, not 100% sure, but it was from yesterday's latest hourly.

It isn't an option. They just fixed a problem where only games could be patched, so all you have to do now is just but the patches in "SD:/luma/titles/[insert titleid of system app]/"

basically they made it so every title can be patched

i saw the twitch stream last night (a bug an actual one almost shorted out my desktop) did hedge brick his 2ds or no?

 

[Platinum Lucario]

It seems likely that his 2DS (named Greg) has been bricked, it looks like we're back to square one in regards to hardware-wise. But not to worry, all he'll need, is to use a brand new unmodded one and then do all the hardware modifications onto that one instead.

The likely causes for a hardware failure, is over-voltage or ESD damage. Though it's unlikely to be ESD damage, since most hardware modders would always earth themselves by either using a wrist strap connected to an earth point or holding onto something metal that connected to an earth point.

You sure hedgeberg bricked Greg? Hedge tweeted this among other things after the last stream:

Tonight's stream was a freakin disaster, god damn. Next one will be better I swear. Soldering done, can actually debug shit now

Anyway next stream we do what would have been the fun parts of tonight's, if stuff hadn't broken. That'll be Thurs or Friday I think

Ah, okay. Well that's a relief. Because I was just watching the recording of the stream from last night.

Debugging as in what? Like is this one of her final steps to dump prot_boot9.bin?

They're trying to find out the exact timing to inject the fault and the NAND read tracing should help with that. There is an extremely narrow window in which this will work. That's what hedgeberg means by debugging.

 

[chrisrlink]

wait if it's a narrow window how do we make hb to inject the code at the right time? something similar to slowhax?

It's a very narrow window to take control *before* the bottom locks itself. This would only be used for dumping the bootrom.
Sighax does not rely in this tiny window whatsoever.

 

[trainboy2019]

If I understand this correctly, someone needs the bootrom to figure out how it works, then make a sighax installer that can blindly execute the exploit.

ding ding ding! we have a winner!

we already have pretty much everything else for sighax working by now, we just need the bootrom in order to, you know, make the whole thing work.

ahh ok. That's good to know.
