d0k3 propose GodMode9

What do I need to run this?

 

You need some way of running ARM9 payloads. One possibility is a 3DS console on FW 9.0...9.2 with *hax installed, another is an installed arm9loaderhax, but there are more. The included readme file details all possible ways.

 

 

A Word of Warning:

 

This tool has it's name for a reason (and no, it won't make you / your 3DS invulnerable): It gives you power over the files and data on your NANDs like never before: You can do basically anything you want with that NAND. Needless to say, you need to use this power wisely. While GodMode9 itself is stable software, it won't protect you from yourself, and a full-brick could be just one bad decision away. There is a write permission system in place, but even that can be overridden by the user. While being thoroughly tested and in daily use by a growing number of users, I can also not fully exclude that there are some small bugs left. In short: I am not responsible for anything that goes wrong while you're using GodMode9.

 

 

A Challenge for you (preferably hardmod owners):

 

As I wrote, GodMode9 is written to be rock solid. So, I challenge you to make it crash or at least do something unexpected / unwanted (like writing to NAND without write permissions, breaking files, etc...). If you manage to do so, and give us a description of what you did in thread, you get a free mention in the opening post.

 

 

Is this CTRXplorer v2.0?

 

No. While GodMode9 and CTRXplorer do have overlapping functionality, both projects are completely separate. CTRXplorer actually has additional stuff in there (like a hex editor and text viewer) that will never be in GodMode9. It also has much better compatibility. If all you want to do is to manage the files on your SD card, I do in fact recommend you use CTRXplorer instead of GodMode9.
