NDS Mode Support #384

Open Committee opened 8 years ago

Committee commented 8 years ago

Possible NDS Mode Support for next release?

RinMaru commented 8 years ago

not a chance lol no one has added nds cartridge dump support to any cfw in existence

urherenow commented 8 years ago

@Zetchzie did I miss something? Who asked about nds cart dumping? I take this as a request (I'm assuming that it's targeted at n3ds) to support launching twl. Launching a cart (flash cart or not) doesnt require any patches at all (except for MAYBE the whitelist... But that's irrelevant to rxTools), so why does it not work? Even if it had to be launched from sysnand, it should be doable. You can launch an nds cart from reinand just fine.

RinMaru commented 8 years ago

I mean support for loading nds roms on emunand. because this already supports dsiware. Thats what i think he's asking for but i could be very wrong.

Committee commented 8 years ago

NDS Mode is support for NDS Cartridges which currently do not work in RXTools and Emunand and no I did not mention anything about NDS Catrdige dumping, I specifically said NDS MODE Support.

urherenow commented 8 years ago

That's what I thought. It may be a valid request, but I would think that it is extremely low priority, since anybody can simply chose to NOT load a cfw and play nds carts if they want to from a regular sysnand.

RinMaru commented 8 years ago

Sorry for my misinterpretation.

ApacheThunder commented 8 years ago

Yeah, the ability to disable reboot patches in the config menu would be cool. It's just the reboot patches that break TWL booting from emunand. Reboot patches are needed for games like Smash Bros so it's understandable why it's on by default. n3DS users may not even need the reboot patches. Don't have an n3DS yet though so can't say for sure. But at least the ability to disable the reboot patches like CakesFW can would be cool. :P

That avatar, if your the same person in GBATemp I would like you to know that your avatar always makes me stop scrolling and read your posts. Excellent Avatar.

ApacheThunder commented 8 years ago

lol. Thanks I guess. :D

It's an actual photo of me. Was a joke photo I took on Facebook awhile back. Decided to crop it and make it my avatar. :P

RinMaru commented 8 years ago

@Committee Lol same here ive seen ApacheThunder on various sites and he is quite knowledgeable so i read his stuff too.

AlbertoSONIC commented 8 years ago

We can't disable the reboothax patch, as it is used to patch the nativefirm too. I mean, not only when you reboot, but also when you boot the cfw!

Committee commented 8 years ago

Understood, good to close this then and thank you for the response.

ApacheThunder commented 8 years ago

I was referring to the "survive reboot patch" used for making sure games like Super Smash Bros works on o3DS. CakesFW has it off by default and thus TWL works fine from emunand....I don't understand why rxTools is forced to use this patch to launch NATIVE_FIRM at first boot.....

AlbertoSONIC commented 8 years ago

@ApacheThunder Because the code that patches NATIVE FIRM is inside the reboot patch... Doesn't ask me why, it's @173210 idea. Btw we should add twl and agb support on n3ds emunand pretty soon so this won't be a problem

173210 commented 8 years ago

That's not right. reboot patch itself prevents from booting FIRMs in NAND whether it patches FIRM or not. Anyway, it's possible to turn off the feature only for non-NATIVE_FIRM, but you don't have to do that if it will support TWL and AGB, do you? ;)
