Don't, there's a bug in TWLnf that stops stuff being updated properly, so Unlaunch will fail to install on a TWLnfed NAND.

Why not install unlaunch first? It worked fine for me.

Doesn't change the fact that it's essentially corrupting the NAND - almost a ticking time bomb.

What actually causes issue?

What actually causes issue?

As far as I remember, it only updates one of the FAT copies, meaning there's a mismatch.

 

[marazzmatika]

Anyways,who knows commands for scripting? If you share them,I will be pleased.

There's documentation somewhere, look at the GitHub and here I guess. I may remind you that (I think) there are already easy installation scripts.

Maybemaybe unlaunch + hiya?

I only used it with ugopwn ( flipnote studio exploit)

with unlaunch and hiya cfw you don't have to install dsiware.

 

[marazzmatika]

with unlaunch and hiya cfw you don't have to install dsiware.

Should I make a little thingy for auto installer? Oh no.... I have problems setting up devkitpro. (I'm lazy anyway)

why would you do that when there's already a guide.

I want an automatized thingy,so pc is required only for game(and tmd) itself.

But i want install dsiwares , and i dont want hiya ...

I recommend that everyone avoid using twlnf for the time being, it has a bug where it improperly saves changes to the filesystem, making any console that makes changes to its nand with twln be incompatible with the unlaunch installer

I've no idea what's causing this, I didn't write any FAT handling code, I simply called fatMount from libnds:
https://github.com/Jimmy-Z/twlnf/blob/master/arm9/source/nand.c#L250
I provided an encryption/decryption layer:
https://github.com/Jimmy-Z/twlnf/blob/master/arm9/source/nandio.c
If the dec layer is buggy, it won't mount in the first place, if the enc layer is buggy, it will mess up your nand if you did any write operations.

I'm not pointing fingers at anybody.

update: I've add a bigger warning.

The problem is, only one of the FAT copies is being written, instead of both of them.
This causes Unlaunch to show the FAT mismatch error.

Like what I said, I didn't touch the FAT handling code, so I'm not able to fix this.

Update: is this tool still considered somehow useful in anyway? I've been away for a bit and apparently there's a lot to catch up with like unlaunch and stuff, so I'm not sure if it's worthwhile to invest time into this.

And I'm not sure if I should start a poll.

 

[SCOTT0852]

is this tool still considered somehow useful in anyway?

Nope. The whole FAT table thing caused us to avoid it in the first place, and with HiyaCFW the whole nand is on the SD card anyways so we don't need nand access other than what the unlaunch installer & fwtool (for dumping) give us.
