Hacking [WIP] Complete Custom Firmware Guide

Not quite sure, do I need a Cubic Ninja card for emunand?

 

[Fixay]

Great guide, very easy to follow

Going to give this a go on the weekend, wish me luck

No you don't need Cubic Ninja for emunand. Just follow the steps.

Wow this has been getting a lot of attention suddenly... The guide does need a bit of an update but I've been busy with homework and other things lately and haven't had time to update it... I hope everyone finds that it isn't too stale and has an easy time following it

Is browserhax really the absolutely first thing, kinda makes me nervous connecting to the internet with no safety measures whatsoever yet.

that's the part that is outdated...

 

[Venat]

Oh, ok, I will wait, lol.

I'm really not sure what to do with it at the moment... I've been thinking on it all morning... may I ask what system version you're on? If it's 9.0-9.2 then follow it minus updating emuNAND otherwise I'll try to help, once we get it worked out then I'll update the guide

 

[Venat]

I'm 9.2. I have to read more about the matter before feeling confident enough to start, but the guide is a nice reference.

So, I should still start with browserhax but leave out updating emunand?

Yeah, don't worry about connecting to the internet, on 9.2 there's nothing Nintendo can do to even detect what you're doing, so just follow the guide, there's even a note in there about if you're on 9.2 just skip updating the emuNAND...

If you really feel like waiting I've come up with a nicer method to make the install work properly though you wouldn't actually need to do that step anyways since you're already on 9.2, that's really the main issue, being *hax 2.x compatible is pretty necessary at this point since we use it to sort of "bootstrap" the CIA installation process

 

[Venat]

I still have to figure some things out that don't really belong here, like what to do with my pre-installed game, so it will probably take a while.

How is the VC stuff going?

ugh, don't remind me. Still need to update this more. memchunkhax 2 is coming out so that'll be a slew of updates needed and I've been busy learning C and family stuff I think I'll eventually get to it. At the moment you can get most anything you want from "that ISO site"

I think I can do it myself, just mainly asking for others; I might test that soon, guest segment? ;-)

Edit:
With C, watch your pointers and check EVERYTHING.

If you want to then sure!

Yeah I've been learning that the hard way XD. I'm not even using tutorials I just have been learning bash scripting for awhile and noticed a lot of things (switch statements, if statements, math and loops) are actually pretty similar so I've been making challenges for myself and then use google when I hit a wall

How many seg faults have you had?

 

[dark_samus3]

How many seg faults have you had?

only a couple... one when I was trying to read a signed int as an unsigned int (that one kinda wasn't my fault... apparently one line absolutely HAD to be in the loop, if it happened before the loop then it still came out as an int somehow ) and one tonight when i tried to do a string compare without my char being an array

Happen to have a way to find the correct TID of the VC games?

If you have one already installed then you can use mashers launcher to find it

Oh, that is nice. Of course I would have one installed, how else would you get the original files?
