rxtools: Add init #450

Open 173210 opened 8 years ago

173210 commented 8 years ago

init is an alternative for bigpayload in CakeHax and can be an entry point for delebile's arm9loaderhax.

urherenow commented 8 years ago

if this is what I just tried, it does not work. The current roxas75/rxTools arm9loaderhax branch at least loads the menu (but data installation suite is broken).

173210 commented 8 years ago

It needs modifications for arm9loaderhax. Please consider it's just for CakeHax for now.

AlbertoSONIC commented 8 years ago

Is this really needed? rxTools arm9loaderhax branch already works fine in both arm9loaderhax and other entrypoints, using cakehax bigpayload and modded makefile which outputs arm9loaderhax.bin (which basically is code.bin with first 0x12000 part removed)

173210 commented 8 years ago

Yes. arm9loaderhax branch will not work with CakeHax and possibly causes unexpected results.

173210 commented 8 years ago

Ok, I read again and found it has a dirty hack to extract bigpayload from CakeHax. So it may work. But still it's a hack and can be corrupted.

AlbertoSONIC commented 8 years ago

Well if you think doing a separate init is better then my dirty hack then I'll merge this... But please fix arm9loaderhax support ;)

AlbertoSONIC commented 8 years ago

Also, rxTools will be renamed to RX Custom Firmware so maybe tools.bin won't fit that much

173210 commented 8 years ago

Originally init was developed because bigpayload sets MPU up incorrectly for new 3DS. Now we need to update MPU configuration in the initial bootstrap.

173210 commented 8 years ago

RX Custom Firmware

Wow.

AlbertoSONIC commented 8 years ago

Mmm so now code.bin is the init and tool.bin is the actual RX code?

173210 commented 8 years ago

Yes.

AlbertoSONIC commented 8 years ago

So code.bin is what will be renamed to arm9loaderhax.bin and placed in sd root...

173210 commented 8 years ago

No. code.bin includes ROP, but arm9loaderhax.bin shouldn't.

AlbertoSONIC commented 8 years ago

init.bin?

urherenow commented 8 years ago

You told me earlier that it was the same thing... Is that why it didn't work?

173210 commented 8 years ago

@urherenow First, it will generate bin/init.bin (previously rxtools.bin), then bin/tool.bin. bin/init.bin will be assembled with CakeHax. The result is code.bin.

RinMaru commented 8 years ago

wait your not planing on making rxcfw a9lh only right?

173210 commented 8 years ago

@Zetchzie This pull request and arm9loaderhax branch won't kill other entry points.

RinMaru commented 8 years ago

thank god im not ready to set a9lh as my default.

urherenow commented 8 years ago

Before everything is working AND emunand9 and decrypt9 can be launched directly from the RXcfw, AuReiNand is better for a9lh anyway. It already works, and the sysnand launch with 9.0 native_firm also keeps it compatible with Gateway.

@AlbertoSONIC Maybe a name more than this XD

77512fe3db1a1950622849f23e64f2db3ae82d80: Updated the MPU configuration according to delebile's arm9loaderhax. https://github.com/delebile/arm9loaderhax/blob/d52f7b46ec734d7a3390e098883872336ed0481b/payload_stage1/source/_start.s

Probably it boots. But no new 3DS support. But I have an idea to fix that.

RinMaru commented 8 years ago

so nightlys are no longer a thing its been canceled. when is the next beta expected?

AlbertoSONIC commented 8 years ago

@173210 Cakes has an MPU settings code which works on both arm9loaderhax and other entrypoints. It's also working on new 3ds... You may take a look at it (it's the one I used in arm9loaderhax branch, it works)
