yes i will do if someone give me the updated command line to convert to .firm for 1.2
I may be wrong, but I'm almost certain that this is not going to happen. It may be a misconception by me, but I'm almost sure that more than that will be needed.

Thanks I will test it out and your app above altogether :)

Edit: sorry I thought your app above was something for v1.2 app, its not its a converter.
my app convert a .bin to a .firm and i tried to make it compatible with v1.2 by downloading the new firmtool

a new firmtool is available on tux git but not sure what's the command to do for the v1.2 so i just replaced the old firmtool with a new one

did you open the SimpleFirmCreator.py with python? ( you need python 3.2)

You should have a User interface with 2 button when you launch the command line " python SimpleFirmCreator.py" ( you need to be in the directory of the .py file)

the user interface has 2 button ( open file) and create firm

damn i think the problem is your path there is a space in it "/M. B. Reece/" can you change it to something without space and retry?

Yes looks like it. I do know the one your on about did work and also someone did one for decrypt9 and that worked as well.

@Hihomaster I have read this as well I think you need to implement -b in the string somewhere also "version" for v1.2? I think :unsure:
  • Add -b (--suggest-skipping-bootrom-lockout) for use with boot9strap >= 1.2
  • Add -v (--version)

yeah i implemented that -b in my python script but doesn't help apparently the problem is with the framebuffer adress they are integrated in the code so i don't really know how the new firmtool works since the readme.MD is not updated
