Figure out an arm9 payload to restore backups

Open astronautlevel2 opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

In the event of upgrading to a bad commit (which just happened earlier today), an option to restore backups from an arm9 payload would be convenient.

This is possible, but something like BootCTR would have to be used to load the payload. The payload itself is very simple, search for a file entitled "arm9loaderhax.bin.bak" and rename it accordingly, but in order to use it, you would have to use a boot loader, or have that payload itself chain load Luma3DS.

@TheBaloneyboy That's true but in the unlikely event a Luma3DS release is broken, chances are the part that'd be broken wouldn't be payload chainloading so really that may be a precaution for the user to decide how they should handle.

This would still be a wise idea to make something like this.

I'm going to be taking another look at this soon(:tm:?)

Considering recent events, that'd be a good idea, although the chink in the stability armor here wasn't even Luma directly, if it happens once it could again.
