Hacking Official [Source Release] ReiNand CFW

[nero99]

I need some advice I'm trying to figure out if I should stay with rx tools on 9.5 emunand. Or switch over to Reinand ? Which one is better to run cia 's and better compability with newer games.

reinand is better if you don't mind losing the options rxtools has and trading them for 10.4 emunand support,

I need some advice I'm trying to figure out if I should stay with rx tools on 9.5 emunand. Or switch over to Reinand ? Which one is better to run cia 's and better compability with newer games.

If you're a pirate, stay on rxTools. The only thing ReiNAND adds is 9.6+ support which is useless with cryptofixed patched etc .cia files. And ReiNAND loses region-free so it makes thing more annoying if you play MHX for example.

If you use retail carts however, switch to ReiNAND because some carts require 9.6+ (and you probably don't have that many out of region carts).

does this support region free? Only asking because hyrule warriors english (jap) mod.

Not on it's own, you need to run NTR or FMP each boot for out of region games to show up

Any way to actually set this up? I have all the files on my SD (in their respective places, of course) and when I try loading it up all I get is either a black screen, a red bottom screen, or a one-time loop followed by one of those two screens.

You should follow this tutorial by wurstpistole.
If you're like me, I got stuck here bc I was trying to boot an emunand without ever making one first, so look out for that bit (pretty near the top)

Ok sounds good I'll stay with rx tools for now then thanks guys

I really can't thank you enough. I've followed this tutorial before and I already had my emuNAND installed, but I just made a dumb and I forgot to unlink and remove Menuhax from emuNAND. Thanks!

Well it worked for me when I booted it from within emunand :o make sure you have the latest version.

I used the cia version of sysupdater by the way, not sure if 3dsx would work.

Hey guys, thanks for the help! It worked ace.

So I tried launching the english patched cia of the hyrule warriors legends without either of those. It's working perfectly fine. Not sure what the poster on that iso site did to the cia, but its worksing on reinand with no FMP or NTR :o

 

[Classicgamer]

it is, but i havent pushed any code yet.

I've followed and used your cfw since the beginning and it's been really exciting following the thread and progress for the last week!

Love the work you've done!

So, I got RXtools.

How would I go about it, getting ReiNand on my N3DS, without losing any of my games or saves?

just set up ReiNand and start using it? they share the same emunand.

Doesn't it kinda collide with rxTools?

I "consider" getting to 10.4, but I read, that there is a heap of problems, so maybe not...

no? their files are separate from each other. otherwise they will share the same emunand. all of the CFWs (including Gateway) usually share the same emunand.

Don't take newcomers advice bro. I'm playing the new Zelda and MHX and I'm on Reinand 10.4 N3DS. I use Decrypt9 for tools and ram hacks, plus the tools you "lose" can be found elsewhere. RxTools just needs to pick it up for real, they dropped the ball on this one with delayed release.

You mean the tools actually WORK and do the job properly right? (Decrypt9)

 

[kyomagi]

All the way up to 10.4, right from system settings, easy like pie. Just make sure you have the right firmware.bin!

EDIT: And make sure you're in emunand when you do... that's maybe the most important part.

Thank you. I just have to figure out how to get it working. Right now i have rxtools. How do i switch it over? Will i lose any of my cia games if i do? And then when i do get it working, do i just use sysupdater or just go directly to the net?

 

[suloku]

it is, but i havent pushed any code yet.

Didn't having "Rei" in version string give problems at some point? Or was that due to a different issue and happened to be solved by removing the "Rei" string?

one of the problems was that it was searching for just "Ve" instead of "Ver." which, outside of replacing text in the wrong places, was crashing some games. I think it's now looking for "Ver." so it shouldn't cause any more problems.

Oh, I see thanks. Still, I'd personally prefer to not risk it, it's not really a need to get the "Rei" string.

it shouldn't be that hard to remove it, though I'm going to wait until the changes are uploaded.

It depends on how you currently get into rxTools. If you use a boot manager, you can just put the ReiNand files in their proper places on their SD card and add ReiNand to your boot menu. Keep in mind that once you update your emunand, you won't be able to boot rxTools anymore, but once they enable 9.6+, you can switch back and forth with your boot manager.

Your best bet may be to look at this phenomenal guide by @wurstpistole located here. You can skip most of the stuff about setting up an emunand, just go straight to the "Installing Menuhax, CFW, and CTRBootManager" section. You may need to fiddle with the bootfix in CTRBootManager to get ReiNand to boot consistently (I use 16 and get a good rate, others have it work fine with 8, some need 60), but it's a good setup and easy to do.

EDIT: Unless you reformat your SD card, I'm pretty sure you shouldn't lose any of your .cia games.
