Hacking Official [Source Release] ReiNand CFW

[subcon959]

I noticed a lot of people have hbl as boot.3dsx in the cfg. So I assume you've edited the menuhax payload instead of the hblauncher payload like I do. I wonder if that affects the boot rate.

Yes it's a really weird thing mate, I had changed the original to nhax.3dsx (to use the original boot for the cia version), i was using it and had a 100% boot rate with it

But did a completely fresh install this morning, new emuNAND, everything clean, same boot config and boot rate was like 1 in 5 lol

Made some changes now and seems a bit better though

I'm convinced there is a little bit of voodoo involved in this hax stuff.

You're not wrong, @d0k3's brahma2loader has a variable called voodoo.

I have 100% boot rate since I boot directly on ReiNand.3dsx with menuhax.

LOL, well that explains it all then

What did you use to edit the menuhax payload ?

I used HXD to change boot.3dsx to nhax.3dsx when i attempted to change it to a longer name like yours (ReiNand.3dsx) it warned me about changing the values to a bigger value

You'll break the payload if you do that, it has to be 4 characters (boot, nhax, emun, etc).

Was what i was thinking..... soooo that said i guess he/she changed the reinand.3dsx to something 4 characters ?

Without recompiling the hax payloads from source, yes.

 

[Reisyukaku]

This is great thanks daztsu, i will wait for @Reisyukaku to officially implement it though

Awesome that yourself and others are trying these things out

I was talking about it on skype the other day, but i probably wont implement it any time soon due to the psudo-ASLR that has been implemented on system apps. This would screw up a bunch of stuff.. mainly the arm9 thread :T

psudo-ASLR sounds very impressive, i have no idea what it is, but in you i trust

Do you think it'd be feasible in the future to add some sort of code that can find that stuff on the fly so a recompile isn't needed every time? I'm not requesting it, just asking for your opinion.

I renamed it "reib.3dsx". Like @daxtsu said, you cannot exceed 4 characters.
I use Hex Fiend. Could be useful for Mac users.

Hi dudes!

Yesterday i updated ReiNAND to 3.1 and EmuNAND 10.4. Now, when im trying to update any game from eShop im getting "Error: 005-8034"... What's happening? D:

 

[Stevo_l33]

does ntr plugins work with a reinand emunand on 10.4

Yep! They seem to play nicely with each other to most the time. Every once in a while I have to reinstall NTR but I think that's typical all around. Paper Jam Xenoblade Chronicles plugins work great but MHX does not.

 

[JJTapia19]

Heh, nice. I got the 10.4 FIRM/kernel to boot in Reinand (mostly thanks to Cakes, since they had the offsets handy, minus the ARM9 thread, so I left that out). It has no practical use right now, but eh. I'm going to keep pushing for higher kernels (note that that doesn't mean I'm going to bug you Rei ) as long as we can until Nintendo blocks us. The only downside is NTR doesn't like it. Guess it needs another update.

Edit: For those who want to join the fun, know how to compile, and get their own firmware.bin files: https://github.com/thedax/ReiNand/commit/77739c867470f5ff8a0c701e30c977df1fa53f03

Hmm. Getting black screen freeze after the logo. Compiled fine, using 10.4 N3DS firm. Will delete folder and try again.

Edit: Yep no luck. Black screen even with launching via CTR/HBL. Using 10.4 N3DS firm and no errors during compile.

Same. It compiled fine but I get black screen after the splashscreen. I have tried many times. I got the right firmware.bin from that iso site.

 

[daxtsu]

Probably best to just let my code die then. It worked for me, but eh, we don't really need the 10.4 kernel right now.

Edit: It only really provides one thing: no NTR access.

 

[leonmagnus99]

Sweet , Rei runs beautifully on my n3ds along with my updated gw emuNAND 10.4 cheers.

i wish i could get NTR working, only for CPU plugin.. :/ i cant get it to work anymore ( was trying with both GW emuNAND and it now doesnt work on CFW for me either , wish there was some separate cia specifically for CPU)

NTR's boot rate is kind of poor for some people, all you can do is try a few times, and if you don't have any luck, reboot the console entirely. But if you're using Aurora Wright's build, compiled my code, or are somehow otherwise using the 10.4 kernel/FIRM, then it won't work no matter what you do, but I doubt that's your situation.

Edit: On second thought, Gateway might be using the 10.4 kernel since they released an update yesterday. The Gateway CFW tends to use the latest kernel. @leonmagnus99, can you install and run FreeMultiPatcher 0.6 beta 3 and tell us what "kernel:" says on the top screen while in Gateway mode?
