Hacking Official [Source Release] ReiNand CFW

[peteruk]

It's with the signature patches, as it was before ReiNand 3.0.

great job, thank you

Ahh I'll try it out tonight once I get home. Nintendo seems to be doing something different with their new games that requires ntr or hans to bypass when you are not in the the same region as the game. The same happened with paper jam eur in my us 3ds. If hans does not work someone will need to make a fixed version for other regions like they did with paper jam.

By the look of things only Brickway can run the demo correctly, Might be the firmware we are using? IDK but RxTools on o3DS 10.3 was also reported as not running it.

anywhoo! /offtopic

Since ver. 3.0 has been released I feel like asking: How does this compare to CakesFW?

 

[Matsumot0]

Same thing, if i remember the based source code of Reinand is almost the same as CakesFW
both are minimalist cfw without any extras tools.

ReiNand is even more minimalist
I think CakesFW has these over ReiNand:
- supports launching encrypted FIRM files (as from NUS)
- supports more than the latest FIRM (not that useful, as the latest one works with emuNANDs/sysNANDs with previous updates... GW only uses the latest FIRM as well)
- supports launching them with or without the emuNAND patches.

 

[Matsumot0]

of course ReiNand is more lighter than CakesFW ;-)
i'm talking about tools like has rxTools

otherwise you're right for those features offer by CakesFW ^^

Edit: You can enable/disable signature patch too
I think it's useless but it's a feature!

 

[SomeGamer]

Does Cakes do CVer patching?

 

[Matsumot0]

Nop he uses the original strings Ver. in emunand mode (also sysnand)

 

[Nuzzgok]

Is there anyway to extract data from a non-booting emunand and inject it into a freshly made one? So I can move my saves.

Really sorry forgot to ask, does your new build remove the 'help.bin' that was created in the original V3.0 ?

Am I correct in assuming it's safe to just delete 'help.bin'? Going to leave it on my SD for now since it is so minuscule in size. Figured it's worth asking though.

 

[reiyu]

how do you remove the splash screen from reinand 3.0?

You can remove it, but it will be recreated on next ReiNand boot.

Sure, it does.
Also, I had another idea. It'd have been cool to use eShop on SysNAND (as I have legally bought DSi games and ambassador GBA games), or games/apps which require higher FIRMs... So I added the possibility to make it boot SysNAND with the 9.6 FIRM (it's a tiny code change).

I tested it with the latest eShop (of course the new nVer is also needed), and with Xenoblade Chronicles (using HANS).
To boot SysNAND normally with the 9.0/9.2 FIRM hold L pressed, to boot it with the 9.6 FIRM hold L+R (this is what Gateway does, by the way).

wow very very impressive work

i will stick to your original build, i am too worried about touching sysNAND but thank you for sharing, i am sure someone else will use it, gteat work again

Well there's nothing dangerous about it. All it does is skip applying the emuNAND patches to FIRM if L+R are pressed As a result, it boots SysNAND.

Cool work. So by holding L+R 9.6+ games will now boot in system NAND?

Do we still need Cryptofixed CIAs if we hold L+R?

 

[Aurora Wright]

I think it's eShop which downloads the seeds, so you'd probably have to install the latest eShop (and nVer). If by "cryptofix" you mean the firm check in the header, of course that's not needed with the new FIRM

For carts, you need to use HANS to skip the update check. That's in system menu and (as far as I know) there's no way to skip it, only Gateway has done it.
