v3.4.0: New Year, New Release

What's new?​

• DSi NAND is now accessible after a DS flashcard has been booted with unlocked SCFG!
  • Files can now be copied across all drives with all flashcards!
  • Requires a DSi BIOS dump in `sd:/_nds/`. Either a full or part dump (of which is from TWLMenu++) will work.
• Bootstrapping a .nds file has been removed. This is due to:
  • TWLMenu++ already having such feature.
  • GM9i not being updated as often.
  • Would run into the same issue as TWLoader, where we'd maintain more than one .nds loader.
• @metroid-maniac: Added dumping GBA RTC data in metadata and saves.

Bug fix​

• @Pk11: Fixed dumping apps with versions over 000000FF.

v3.4.1

Bug fix​

• @Pk11: Fixed copying files from NitroFS not working properly.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding a feature, but according to the description on the first page, it can load .firm payloads on a 3DS if loaded from an SD card or as a .cia application. I made sure to have the latest version of Luma (v11 as of this writing), and the latest version of boot9strap (v1.4 as of this writing). What I'm trying right now is to open the .firm version of Godmode9 from both .cia and .nds versions (via TWLMenu++) of GM9i, but after loading it instead takes me back to the 3DS menu. Is there something that I'm missing?

You're not missing anything.
The feature still works fine for me, so I don't know why it's not working for you.

Are you sure you have boot9strap and not fastboot3DS? iirc the way GodMode9i does FIRM loading only works with b9s

they're mutually exclusive, so if you installed fastboot3DS that will have overwritten boot9strap

Yes, I have boot9strap installed, and I installed it using SafeB9SInstaller v0.0.7 (chainloaded with Luma), with the necessary files in the /boot9strap/ folder. Or do I have to load it directly as a boot.firm in the root directory?

that's all... does "bootonce.firm" exist on your SD root after loading it?

 

[MushGuy]

Yes, I see bootonce.firm in the SD root.

Edit: I just found that there are unofficial releases of b9s that support bootonce, but I don't see any mention of it in the official releases up to v1.4. Could this be the problem?

 

[MushGuy]

By any chance, do you have the official latest version of b9s v1.4, or the unofficial bootonce mod of v1.2?

Apparently, the unofficial bootonce mod, because I don't see a mention of "bootonce.firm" in the source code of v1.4.

What is the key to being able to read files off your flash cart, exactly? I have an AceKard 2i and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to move files off it and to my internal SD card using any method. TWiLight Menu++ supposedly lets me view the contents of my internal SD card when the flash cart is launched yet I cannot. I thought this utility might be able to but, nope, not here either.

At the end of the day I guess I could just bail on this venture and just mess with the SD cards directly but I was hoping I'd be able to do more from the 3DS itself.

Did you launch the flashcard using the TWiLight Menu++ Slot-1 launch feature and with SCFG enabled?

 

[SolidSonicTH]

Yes. At some point that became the only way it would read my AceKard 2i. Launching it from the main 3DS dashboard just results in a white screen on boot.

DSi Enhanced Sonic Classic Collection (USA) will not dump properly. I don't even get a no-intro matching MD5.

We already know about this in the issue posted on GitHub.

Just letting others know as well.

By the way, how do you dump the BIOS files?

You use the dsibiosdumper tool, which you can get from here: https://wiki.ds-homebrew.com/ds-index/ds-bios-firmware-dump.html
