Aurora 5f32779ceb Lots of changes/new features
- To override the last used boot mode on soft reboot, you only need to press A if you want to boot to the default option. Holding L(+payload button)/R is enough for the other modes.
- Added version number to the config menu
- Replaced the memsearch algorithm with a faster one
- Integrated 3ds_injector from @yifanlu. This brings us region free and all the other FreeMultiPatcher patches. Other than that, you now have the possibility to display the currently booted NAND/FIRM in System Settings!
- Rewritten most code for the config menu. You now can navigate to the first/last options with left and right.
- You can now choose the 9.0 FIRM to be default in the config menu. This will essentially switch "no buttons" and L in both modes.
- You can now choose the second emuNAND to be default in the config menu. This will essentially switch "B is not pressed" and "B is pressed".
- When the second emuNAND is booted, it will persist like the other boot options on soft reboot
- Bugfixes

3DS Loader Replacement

This is an open source implementation of 3DS loader system module--with additional features. The current aim of the project is to provide a nice entry point for patching 3DS modules.

Roadmap

Right now, this can serve as an open-source replacement for the built in loader. There is additional support for patching any executable after it's loaded but before it starts. For example, you can patch menu to skip region checks and have region free game launching directly from the home menu. There is also support for SDMC reading (not found in original loader implementation) which means that patches can be loaded from the SD card. Ultimately, there would be a patch system that supports easy loading of patches from the SD card.

Build

You need a working 3DS build environment with a fairly recent copy of devkitARM, ctrulib, and makerom. If you see any errors in the build process, it's likely that you're using an older version.

Currently, there is no support for FIRM building, so you need to do some steps manually. First, you have to add padding to make sure the NCCH is of the right size to drop in as a replacement. A hacky way is this patch which adds junk data. Play around with the size value to get the NCCH to be the exact same size as the one found in your decrypted FIRM dump.

Once you have a NCCH of the right size, just replace it in your decrypted FIRM and find a way to launch it (for example with ReiNAND).
