Hacking [Tutorial] How to convert Arm9LoaderHax payloads to FIRMS

[urherenow]

I've done much more difficult CLI stuff with cisco networking devices. I'll always be first to admit I don't know what I'm doing, but something as easy as python setup is not difficult.

So many places I could go with this. From a simple: it's easy for the best of us to miss a check box during an install, to a: You're definitely NOT the only IT professional in the room... yet you went there again.

I'll just leave it at I'm glad you got it working. Have fun

For the lazy kiddies, if you convert a chainloader (like bootctr9) to b9s, you are able to load some a9lh .bins.

But it didnt work by me

I tried it and it didn't work :/

edit:I got it working it turns out my Cart slot is not reading my gateway at all times

Can you tell me how you make it work?

Bookmarked! Thanks for this tutorial @Epicdaftman and @TuxSH. Will try to convert Gateway.bin to Gateway.firm for my 2DS ON 10.3 EmuNand (because.. cheats).

i can't get it worked, if someone can post the working two files (down_v2g.firm and gateway.firm). thanks in advance

Some people want a firm version of Gatewait launcher bin payload.

Only v2g should be converted to .firm, gateway.bin would need to stay as a bin as that is what v2g will try to launch. You may also try just converting gateway.bin to .firm and launching that directly and seeing if that works.

I tried both ways but don't work

Yes it does sort of work better with the gateway.bin file & v2gw.firm file, at lest now your 3ds stays on with 2 black screens present and not just turn off altogether! but you still dont get a GW screen anymore.

does your browser work after updating to BS9 ? mine say it can't work in such environment...try to change setting...

Works fine.

Can you tell me how you make it work?

just put the .firm payload in the payload folder with it's assign button and also the .bin file you should be good to go if you're on 11.2

 

[Aliik]

Works fine.

Alright

 

[pixelmasher]

Alright

Are you on 11.4? I am.

 

[Aliik]

Are you on 11.4? I am.

no 11.2, it used to work on luma

 

[Hihomaster]

not working for me as well for GW . i did as said i put Gateway.firm in the luma/payloads folder and the Gateway.bin in the luma/payloads folder and i have a black screen when launched.

ps : i updated the v1 a9lh to b9s / also how do you delete the sysnand and copy the emunand to sysnand so you only have one partition?

does it ask you to update your web browser? cause the web browser only works on the latest update

 

[Aliik]

I drop the idea to get the GW card working on BS9.
I just realized the browser is not working anymore.
Plus, I emailed GW team. I had an answer from Darren. He basically said they're working hard and testing the big new update atm.

No, it doesn't ask me to update. You may be right. it's been a while since I actually launched the browser after 11.2
