Homebrew SigHax Updates and Discussion Thread

[soratheultima]

works great! just updated my regiontransfered JPNN3DSXL->EU from a9lh to sighax/b9s

 

[Platinum Lucario]

I'd like to ask a question. Is there any way I can get Ctrbootmanager to work with .3dsx files while I've got sighax installed? From what I've heard, menuhax support has been dropped. How else am I going to be able to load any .3dsx files directly while booting into NATIVE_FIRM?

I'd really like to see a .firm program made in which loads the arm11 components that are needed to boot .3dsx files.

GJ to SciresM and all the B9S crew!

For those have 3Dsafe installed, here is the solution : How to remove 3Dsafe to install B9S

so in @Plailect 's guide, at the bottom of the page it says this:

You can now hold (Select) on boot to launch the Luma3DS configuration menu.
You can now hold (Start) on boot to launch the Luma3DS chainloader menu (note that the Luma3DS chainloader menu is only displayed if there is more than one payload detected). You can now hold (Start) + (Select) + (X) on boot to dump the ARM11 bootrom (boot11.bin), the ARM9 bootrom (boot9.bin), and your console unique OTP (OTP.bin) to the /boot9strap/ folder on your SD card (note that this will not have any kind of prompt or message).

what are these files for? I guess recovery from a brick, but are there any other uses?

Some are the tool for recovery, or changing settings. The other is to dump your Boot loader and OTP

You can delete this folder. It is just the temporary directory for Decrypt9

I'm guessing the a9lh folder can be deleted as well? Just asking to be sure.

i dont even think it was needed with a9lh... Mine worked fine without it.

yep. same as the boot9strap folder if u have it

i do kinda feel like writing to the firm partition for every updat of this (if there are updates in the future?) is a little concerning.

So did AL9H, don't worry.

Thats why Boot9Strap is the standard.

 

[HamBone41801]

so does anyone have a list of all payloads working with sighax? also, Is there a payload that would play music?

 

[nwhiteman42]

They're talking about derreks Sighax which installs the firm(Luma) onto the NAND

 

[TheDarkGreninja]

So are there any actual things we can do with sighax other than update luma?

Ah I see, yeah I think I rather trust the opensource alternative.

atm? no, not really. but it does open plenty of doors. maybe we'll finally get that damn 12 hour clock.

It's day 2, things will come.

Derrek's is also in beta so installing it without a hard mod is a really dumb idea.

Argh the wait, it's too much!
Hopefully it's not as bad as a9lh.
