Hacking Official [Source Release] ReiNand CFW

[stl25]

@Reisyukaku, is the patches system you are implementing for the loader only? Or could it be used for patches of AGB/TWL FIRM as well. Great job with the 4.0 release.

those are different firm partitions so probably not. i think i have an idea though.

Also to anyone that cares i updated the OP since it was ancient, lol

We need them to change your thread title to:
[Source Release] ReiNand N3DS & O3DS CFW

Yea, I was thinking even just
[Source Release] ReiNand CFW

Yh maybe some new O3DS users see N3DS and don't even visit

@Reisyukaku, thanks for your quick reply.

I have tried different mods of ReiNand (AuReiNand, Mizuki, and now ShadowFW (SaltFW)) and none of them embrace emuNAND like ReiNand. The big goal for me is enjoy GBA on emuNAND without needing to install patched AGB_FIRM to sysNAND and emuNAND and not needing to sift through config menu's or button combos to do extra tasks. ReiNand with AGB_FIRM patching would be a godsend for emuNAND users like me. No disrespect to any other CFW projects, they have their dedicated user base who request great features be added and who value the features they have implemented, but for me simple loading of emuNAND and playing 3DS/GBA is what I value. Before I anger @Aurora Wright, I understand AuReiNand can provide this value, however it is the simplicity that I crave and the extra features of AuReiNand (which can be configured I understand) mostly do not interest me (and I emphasize me). The only menu I want to see on my 3DS is the home menu after I press power. I feel eventually a lot of users of other CFW will eventually see that simplicity is bliss and realize just how great ReiNand is. Also A9LH forks that include: screen init, no screen init, screen init with backlight = 0, it doesn't matter to ReiNand cause there are no config menus. Simple,minimal (drops mic)

I like to try it all! Mess around with apps like GodMode, Decrypt9 and stuff like that. I like to fiddle with different cfws and I'm constantly keep all the tools and cfws up to date. All the time. Some sort of OCD. Playing games does not come first. Messing with the system does. My daily driver is AuReiNand because I like stuff that can be changed.

The only problem i see with AGB stuff on emu is that you'd need to redirect the writes to SD nand image.. and tbh, i've never evern looked at the AGB firm yet lol. AGB were always out of my scope because, well, i have a GBA SP and i dont play DS games, lol. For sure though, i'll make patches easier to manage so you can patch everything under the sun if you want and still not have a slew of messy code behind it.

You are one of the users of which I speak when I say you find the value of all the extras @Aurora Wright has implemented into AuReiNand.

I seek not to mess with N3DS clock speeds, I do not play games from out of region, I do not have updated sysNAND. So for me it seems sensible to use a CFW with emuNAND focus that can deliver what I seek (reference my prior post). I have nothing but love for all CFW devs and have reached out to @Aurora Wright, @Shadowhand and @daxtsu to try and get their CFW to work for me. Just haven't been able to achieve the end results that I have with ReiNand. I will continue to follow their projects because I still appreciated new developments and the ideas that make their way into their projects. I do not forget the whole AGB_FIRM patching was introduced by AuReiNand. That is the one feature I envy that ReiNand does not currently feature, but that is all. Hence I have tried other CFW to get my GBA fix but have not had success.

I realize GBA has to fall back to SD nand image after play from emuNAND to preserve the save. The issues in other CFW projects that have the feature is that after falling back to sysNAND another GBA game cannot be launched directly. I have made many inquiries to @Aurora Wright about this but I'm just annoying her when I report it not working. Launching a GBA game from 9.2 sysNAND should be no different than launching it from 10.7 emuNAND, however after playing a GBA game and exiting to sysNAND the next time I try to launch GBA I am greeted with an error has occurred message.

Holding start to boot into sysNAND on ReiNand. Is this using the 9.2 on my sysNAND or the 10.4 from the firmware.bin in /rei on mSD? @Aurora Wright has a 9.0 firmware mode in AuReiNand that interferes with GBA loading from sysNAND. With 9.2 sysNAND do I even need 9.0 firmlaunch? Exploits should work the same under 9.2 correct. If no can someone please explain because this is where I believe my GBA woes stem from.

do you have screen init a9lh? should show up fine

thanks for your reply. I do not have a9lh, I use menuhax. no splash, just a black screen for a few seconds.

 

[reiyu]

if i were to use this on an a9lh sysnand only o3ds, what files do i need to have on the SD? i'd like to remove the files that are not needed of course.

 

[ChicagoMel]

So this is like a custom home screen launcher thing? How would I use it for custom themes?

 

[Sniffynose]

@Reisyukaku Thanks for the update, hope you are feeling better irl too man.

 

[Hking0036]

Yea, I was thinking even just
[Source Release] ReiNand CFW

Yeah, I didn't realize it had been updated to support O3DS until someone pointed it out. Great job on it, by the way.

 

[caitlyn jenner]

running out of time before bed

does this one have the black screen bug same as luma ?

nearly 4am and i need sleep but wanted to make this work first

 

[swnny]

I brought my self a New 3DS last month and since then I'm rocking ReiNAND through menuhax and ctrbootmanager. (@Reisyukaku thanks for the great CFW and all the support you give us!) Is there any way to make menuhax boot right into ReiNAND, skipping ctrbootmanager altogether?

Yeah, get the .3dsx file you got from ReiNAND and rename it to "boot.3dsx". Place that file on the root of your SD card. Now each time you turn on your 3DS, menuhax will boot into ReiNAND automatically.

Guessed it, but was a bit afraid to try, so needed an confirmation, thanks for the quick reply!
Now with 2 splash screens (thanks to the folks here) of the new 3ds logo for both menuhax and reinand, my console boots in ~20 seconds and with style!

@Reisyukaku

Is it possible that when you compile for O3DS [make cons=03ds] you get an error cause you mistyped somewhere at 1 plce "firmware_o3ds.bin" with "firmware_03ds.bin"?
When i rename firmware_o3ds.bin to firmware_03ds.bin in the data folder, you get the same error but then about firmware_o3ds.bin
so you have to copy firmware_o3ds.bin to firmware_03ds.bin so you have both in the data folder, then it build fine for O3DS

(Just to inform you, that's all )

where did i mistype? i see no zeros.. lol. it compiles for me.. unless im misunderstanding the question.
