/hbg/ - Homebrew and hacking general

First for include /vitagen/ in the next OP to piss them off.

>no x edition
When will these threads be fun again?

what do you guys say in rebuttal to people who criticize you for "stealing" games?

>>150113989
I tell them to go to the /vitagen/ approved hugbox: /vitagen/

>>150113482
is the prize them calling the feds on you

>>150113989
I wouldn't buy them anyway if I'm pirating, so they literally lost nothing.

I have a serious problem.

For TWO months now, I have been unable to access Luma.

When I tried to downgrade to 2.1.0. it always gave me an error, so I replaced the 2.1.0. files. Ever since I did that Luma has been fucked. I updated it to the newest version and it still doesn't work. All I get is a black screen.

why is /vitagen/ so mad though

>>150113989
I tell them I just pirate because I don't want to pay. Who needs justification?

>>150113482

I want to do the browserhax but I want to know if I should use the SD card I already use with my 3DS or a new one without anything on it.

This will be my first time trying to hack it.

Noticed too late that previous thread reached bump limit, so Im reposting it here.

Just hoping that maybe I will run into somebody, who will reply:

1) How to properly back up everything (saves, friends list, etc) before system format, adviced at Part 2 of OP guide?

2) Said format is mentioned as "optional" at the start, in explanation part, but not in actual stepps. How does it affect the later procedure, since I assume that it is not taken into account later then?

3) Should I even format it anyway? That part mention that this is obligatory for Ambassador devices or devices with DSiWare. I dont have those, but at the same time, I dont want to risk losing chance by being forced to perform system update in case of soft-brick.

4) CFW after doing Part 3 is said to be launched from Homebrew Launcher. I heard it doesnt always launch. How often it fails to do so?

Thank you for any reply, like always.

What Homebrew Launcher entry point do I use if my 3ds' version is 10.7.0-32U

>>150114395
2) A: The double format before downgrading to 2.1 is for a highly specific reason. It really is required to get a 100% clean slate.

3) Formatting in advance generally isn't worth it if you have a worthwhile Friend List or Swapnote nostalgia or anything of true importance. If it's just a few games then sure, back up their extdata and save data with JK Save_Manager 3dsx and go for it.

Thanks, and have a great day.

>>150115554

>>150115469
That will probably never happen. Vita games are under VERY strict security measures. Even that Cobra Blackfin device can't bypass it.

>>150115469
4d6 weeks

>>150114623

>2) A: The double format before downgrading to 2.1 is for a highly specific reason. It really is required to get a 100% clean slate.

No, no, not that format. Im talking about:

>All variations of sysUpdater, not just PlaiSysUpdater, has a very small chance of causing a "soft brick" once the downgrade is complete and the device reboots. This will cause the system to boot directly to the Nintendo error screen instructing users to power off the device.

>The reason for this is unknown, but can be prevented by performing a system format before downgrading. It seems to happen very often on systems with ambassador status or who have DSiWare installed.

from Part 2 introduction part. This format is not mentioned in actual stepps. Thats why I ask, I have my doubts.

>3) Formatting in advance generally isn't worth it if you have a worthwhile Friend List or Swapnote nostalgia or anything of true importance. If it's just a few games then sure, back up their extdata and save data with JK Save_Manager 3dsx and go for it.

I did export save data from card with that JK Save Manger homebrew (such useful little program should be avaible for everyone, no matter if they want to install Homebrew Launcher or not). It is just that I dont really want to lose rest, like mentioned Friend List. At the other hand, I have 10.3-28e system - being forced to update that to 11.0 would be a shame.

Would formatting delete installed Launcher too?

I was trying to swap HDDs on my slim Ps3, so what I did was:
-Update rebug using flashdrive
-Remove HDD
-Insert new larger HDD
-Try to format and install rebug off the same flashdrive
And I was greeted with an error.

When I searched online I saw that rebug has issues installing from recovery, but there's a rebug "hdd change utility" available.
So I swapped my larger and newer HDD for my old one.
But I was once again greeted with the "the PS3 could not start, insert flashdrive with 4.80 firmware or later to format".

What's the general procedure to follow here?
What went wrong?

>>150113989
porn is okay to watch for free instead of paying, so why not (almost) porn vita games too?

Forgot to mention that I plan to do only parts 1-3.

>>150115993
finish the guide

>>150069485

Wasn't it possible to download updates manually?

>>150115895
It should work. I've done this for ages using Rebug and I never used this HDD change utility option. Unless it's a new thing.

Try putting your flashdrive in another USB port.

Thanks for participating.

So I aw that you could downgrade a 3ds with current FW with the help of an already hacked 3ds?

Just to be clear the legit copy of the disease game has to be only bought on the hacked 3ds right?

I recently went through and loaded a9lh on my n3dsxl and everything went great but I'm thinking about getting my kid a 2DS and wonder what firmware new ones come on generally or if anyone has a guide on finding one with a good firmware

I'm on the latest firmware 11.0 and my Luma is 5.4.

I downloaded luma updater so that I can play online MH/Smash but when I clicked "download latest weekly" nothing happened, I'm still on 5.4. Is it because I dont have arm9loader or something?

What do?

Well I don't know. Why not also discuss VITA homebrew in VITA general?

How easy is it to whitelist Vita TV? When I did 3DS cfw install it took me 5 hours because information was so mixed and the exploit was prone to failure/freezing. Am I in for more BS, or will this be relatively simple?

I'm trying to do the 2.1.0 downgrade but when I try to inject FBI_inject_with_banner.app it ends up failing and saying "hs.enc has wrong size". I've tried using the latest version or Decrypt9 and the one from May 5th. Also I only see one Decrypt9 icon.

>>150118456

Guess they should rename then.

It's fairly simple.

You have to copy the app.db file to PC. Paste some code into an SQL browser and click play, then it's patched, you can copy app.db back to your Vita TV.

>>150119000
>lol you sound like a cunt.
I'm not apart of it, just pointing out what's obviously going on. In my opinion it should be here but Vitagen shouldn't be totally against having some discussion about it, just not so much on where it eats that thread.

Can anybody help a guy out?

I bought a PS2, came with net adapter, an empty memory card, controller, and power cord.
I bought a component cable, and a memory card with FMCB loaded on it as well.
I am trying to go into Free MCBoot and it simply isn't working. I don't believe I got scammed because my PS2 doesn't even read that card, unlike the blank one.
I don't have the network adapter or an HDD inside, its just open on the back.

Am I doing something wrong? I thought all you had to do was put the freemcboot card inside and it will launch. I don't think I can install FMCB onto the other card myself because I don't have a copy of agent under fire.

>>150119291
We aren't against it, it's just one autistic guy being butthurt.
You guys are all welcome

>>150119375

Sounds like the memory card is just borked, yeah.

>>150119375
You can forego the hole MEMEry card step and flash a pre-made image to the drive that'll update the firmware the PS2 recognizes from the original HDD install disc and use FHDB immediately with no further setup.

>>150119375
>I bought a PS2 ...
>Am I doing something wrong?
Yes, yes you are.

>>150118978
Because it's a more general general. It's for Vita and games, not specifically homebrew. Also it has tons of circlejerking muh Playstation family faggots who will cry at you for using homebrew / supporting piracy. Meanwhile there should be no reason anyone here would be upset over homebrew on Vita.

Basically telling Vita homebrew discussion to go to /vitagen/ is like having a Fire Emblem general and telling people who are discussing a specific one in the series to go to Nintendo general.

>>150119560
Nobody is making it specifically about homebrew though.

I don't disagree with the rest of your post.

Also don't expect piracy in the short term if that's what you're asking for.

Regardless of what they do, we should start compiling a pastebin.

What do we need? I think most people get hung up on the start steps because they don't realize the website tucked a tutorial way on the "Usage" page.

Is there any way to change the language of a Japanese new 3ds?

>>150118721
>Some people are just fuckin' dumb.
I wonder if what people say about Americans being dumb is true. I've never taken it seriously, because while there are lots of stupid people, I've always been able to find quite a few smart people that I can enjoy talking to. And with all these terrorist attacks and whatnot happening in Europe, I kind of dismiss them because "It can't be that great over there either?"

However, every fucking time I see someone behaving like a complete and utter retard lately, my belief that Americans are stupid grows within me. I mean, the average level of intelligence can't be this fucking low globally, right?

I know there are Europeans here so can any of you kindly confirm this?

>>150119810
I stopped going to those threads once they started bitching constantly about eCFW and it was removed from the OP

>>150120137
The number of people with an hacked 3ds are negliglible in respect to the whole userbase, piracy does not affect sales either for hardware or software titles in a relevant way. The same will happen for the vita, when and if piracy will come out.

I didnt even started, well, except for installing Homebrew Launcher and backing up saves by JK.

Like I mentioned in >>150114395 Im not sure about system format before doing Part 2.

Unless I can somehow make backup of 10.3-28e system using just Homebrew Launcher tools, in case of downgrade causing soft-brick due to that low chance unknown factor that guide mention. Then, since browser/menu hax work on 11.0, I could try again after being forced to update by recovery mode.

But since Im not expert, I try to ask you guys, since you have bigger experience than me.

>>150121395

I doubt it'll work. They have specific people who make those threads each time and ignore everything else.

Source: There have been multiple attempts at splitting up the general, at one point having four of them. All were ignored but the one made by Estelle or some other guy.

>>150123428

Worst case is that it crashes when it tries to start up and you trigger a database rebuild from the recovery menu.

>>150123498
Its just an example. Replace that console with any other one and you'll find a list of fucking recommended games.

>>150119909

Out of curiosity, what's the difference between the ones with and without a banner?

>>150123739

I can also go to gamefaqs and just look at all the listings.

It doesn't mean I'll know which ones are legitimately good.

Can yall niggas help me out?
My 3ds can no longer boot ram intensive games like smash 4 or monster hunter 4. It stays at a black screen for eternity. This problem occurred since my switch from rxtools to luma cfw.

>>150123498

CFW 3DS users are a fucking tiny percentage of the total owners.
I doubt most people even know that you can do this shit.

So now that I have freeshop working what games should I download?

There's nothing I could tell you that you couldn't gleam yourself from googling it.

pretty much, your h&s looks exactly the same so there's no way of telling if fbi is there unless you launch it, banner is better but you can pick whatever

3DS got homebrew in 2013 and it started to be good in late 2014. That's not half a year later, and it's still great right now.

>>150125459

What is homebrew?

>>150125596

homebrew = applications that aren't endorsed by the manufacturer.
It usually just comes down to emulators though.

there's no Vita piracy, that's well out of our reach. But PSP/PS1 piracy was possible on older firmwares and emulators generally also mean piracy.

>>150125596
It's what the general is about. Homebrew software. Software not created officially.

>>150124305
They do work, but not 100% with every game, especially the SNES one. I played through Actraiser just fine, though it did slow down a few fps during textboxes which I wouldn't have noticed without the fps counter though. Also Terranigma, which runs 100% fine as long as you're not on the worldmap or there's a textbox happening, then it slows down up to 5 fps and the audio starts crackling really hard. There's also reports of some games being slowed down permanently and pretty much unplayable.

The Genesis one seems to work pretty well for the most part though, worst I had happen is some minor slowdown and audio crackling while having large battles going on in Dune 2.

Also, congrats on"finding" the vpks listed directly on the HENkaku site and vpkmirror.

Your own website says its for the ds and thats it, doesnt list anything else like every single other listing on the site

Hopefully this is the right thread.

I'm looking at a friends 360. It has an RROD, not sure what specific error. I replaced the thermal paste with some Arctic Silver, used screws and such instead of the x-clamps. Another friend who fixes them told me that at this point, I should leave the 360 open and set the fan off to the side (but plugged in). As in to let the processor get a bit hotter than it normally would for about 2 mins to let the thermal paste settle better or something (? never had to do that for any of my PC builds).

It was at this point I realize the fans aren't spinning at all. Its plugged in, nothing obvious wrong. I don't know if they worked before this or not for sure though. Since everything involving taking it apart and putting the new thermal paste on went fine, I'm guessing the fans are just dead. Is there an easy way to test for sure if the fans are dead? I don't have any spares to swap but I do have a volt meter somewhere.

It's not like you could have gone online once 3.61 came out

>>150134004
Yeah, but depending on how Sony handles bans - be it console specific, account, or IP (least likely) - I could potentially lose all my bought games. And that's a lot.

Wew

How many DS games can I fit on a 4gb card? How about 8gb?

I have about 30 games I want to get, mainly RPG's and shit.

Also whats the latest firmware Vita's can ship with? Like how 3ds doesnt ship past 10.7 so you are guaranteed to get one that is cfw compatible. Same with Vita? New slims dont ship with 3.61? Just 3.60 and under?

>>150135721

DS ROMs can range anywhere from 8 MB to 512 MB in size. However, anything more than 64 MB is pretty damn rare.

>>150135865
pokemon black and a couple of other games are 100+

>>150135721

I bought mine in May and it was with 3.60 preinstalled.

second, if it wasn't for piracy, i'd only buy like half a dozen games a year that i was already looking forward to. when i pirate a game, if i like it to the point where i start talking with people about it and replaying it and shit, i buy it. ofc, this only applies if you're like me and eventually buy games you've pirated.

third, the 1-1 sale shit is ridiculous, i only make about $13/hr, i can't afford even half of the games i end up pirating. this ties into the above one, i end up spending my money to support developers i appreciate rather than ones who tricked me into buying a shit game.

Piracy really does increase your fanbase and create more paying customers. There hasn't been an album I've bought online that I didn't pirate an earlier album by that artist first. There's also some game series where I pirate a game then bought the rest of the series or bought other games from that developer.

I'm pretty sure piracy only "hurts" massive companies like EA that don't need word of mouth advertising.
