Tutorial Installing Dev Firmware and Dev Apps on Retail 3DS

[seijinshu]

probably cause they are soo expensive

And complicated

I think it is silly for people with pandas in the scene to not try to crack 'em open. Might lead to Custom Bootroms with all the keys.

Their architecture is no different than a regular 3ds, they don't run unsigned code, they just have different keys than retail (some of which you can safely experience at home by enabling an unitinfo patch and losing compatibility with retail amiibos)

More than one reputable scene member has a Panda anyway, I've personally asked one to decrypt some devkey-signed cias, and they were happy to help. The big disadvantages are lack of updates for both system and applications (they have to be leaked too) and no a9lh as nobody has ever photographically proven the existence of Snake (Panda n3ds)...

...and while they're definitely rare, Panda consoles are "cheap" (usually around 2x the price of a new n3ds xl) and don't bring any real advantage: the big deals are of course the Partner-CTR home versions!

How much would you pay for a capture-debugger (DVI composite and USB video out, usb loading for .3ds, ram editing from PC, cia installation from PC)?

how can i access the eshop with this?

We don't even really know if developer systems have anything resembling the eShop... there is a parallel infrastructure (so that devs can test the sale of DLC) but no idea about the app itself

Well, I meant the method of obtaining one, legit and unlegit (re-sold). I know that they are the same. You would think most of us know that
.

And I would pay for none of those features. I'm fine with CIA files and NTR streaming.

I want to get more in to dev related 3ds things and am currently learning to program, so this is a SERIOUS question. What features does this fw bring to help devs?

Several debugging tools.
Banner region switching, just to name one.

Indeed. I shall mention test menu... I wish that we could get ALL the Dev apps.

How easy is it to do that? And actually get a SDK?

Are you being sarcastic or can literally anyone just sign up for one? Also I would like to know what an sdk is?

SDK is a software development kit.
These help developers make software for the platform said SDK is built for.

 

[olec04]

software dev kit and yes i am you basically fill out a application and in a few weeks if ninty accepts it you get access to like i think a nintendo dev only forum?! and a whole lotta cool stuff

If you're talking about dev apps like Friend Add Tool, Boss LotCheck Tool, etc. etc. they're already out there on the net. In fact, they're located in the very CTR SDK 4.2.8 that has been leaked for quite some time now. (Won't specify where that is; Google Is Your Friend™) but they're in the form of .csu files, and CSUs are the equivelent of CCIs if I remember rightly. Luckily there are already tools out there to convert CCI to CIA, so there's that...

Damn. Make sure to not use info used on here.
Better off if you don't even mention it here. I'm sure Nintendo does background research and watchs forums like this one.

Yeah, but I'm talking 11.4 SDK version.

 

[olec04]

if you got accepted for a dev id this is where you would sign in https://ndid.mng.nintendo.net/ndid/...pment%252Fdevelop&scope=title+me+user+company

pretty long
