ROM Hack Trouble running custom .code

[DatHax0r]

Actually, the base is not useful in anyway for the .code file, but I think that it is the location for it inside the exefs. I can't confirm that though, but we don't use it at all.
.text starts at 0x0.

Right, confusing... any way we can calculate starts and ends of all these sections? would be extremely grateful if someone could...

Just do some math.
.text ends at text_size
.rodata starts at text_size and ends at rodata_size+text_size
.data starts at rodata_size+text_size and ends at data_size+rodata_size+text_size

Any updates? this seemed like it was going somewhere interesting

I'm interested too, waiting on it...

I'm currently fighting with HBM. Don't worry we're still on it.

 

[V3NUS_M1NER]

This is really interesting.

I'm on 10.1, but would like to help with this.

Well, if anyone has a quite simple function to boot another .3dsx from my own .3dsx, I'm taking it

Can you tell us in more detail what has been done/going to be done?

We're currently trying the plan C, because the plan B is a pain lol.
What I'm currently trying to do is somethign a bit weird but that could work: running some code alongside HANS so it can trigger itself when the eShop is booted. Not sure if it'll work, just investigation.

If that works, awesome!

Might want to contact the developer of bootCTR

Regardless of that thanks for mentioning it because I'm now going to use bootctr

Wow, just found this thread with my below 10.2 N3DSes and O3DS, awesome! I'm rooting for you guys! I hate to ask these kind of questions, but do you have any ETA in mind?

 

[JustPingo]

Don't be too hyped we don't even know if it'll work.
And no, sorry.
(by the way what we're trying right know *should* work on any firmware)

This may be a stupid question, but would your 'Plan C' require a N3DS since it has extras cores for you you to run the extra code in the background with? Just asking because I have an O3DS.

No.

... Hans runs in background on o3ds and new...

 

[tesnos6921]

No.

Ok, thanks.

I just got an idea... instead of trying to put new items or modify old ones into the eshop in order to install cias, why don't we try something similar to what tubehax did and use a custom dns server to trick the eshop into going to the wrong site for its downloads? However, there are several flaws with this, like the eshop probably checks the cia filesize before downloading it, and the server would only have cias that the host put on it, unless it was open source. This probably wouldn't work, but i just wanted to see what you guys thought about it.

The data is encrypted last I saw

Ok, thanks.

The eShop communication is no doubt SSL encrypted, but if we can patch the eShop to work over regular HTTP or make it accept any SSL certificate then it should be possible. We would basically need an eShop server emulator made with PHP or something though, that acts exactly like the real eShop. I doubt it is as simple as putting CIA files on a webserver.
