rxTools is a collection of hacking tools for Nintendo 3DS/3DSXL/2DS, compatible with all the system versions from 4.1 to 9.2. rxMode is a free custom firmware which works through rxTools, not meant to replace any existing software, but based on personal work made public and easy for the end-user.


== rxTools - Roxas75 3DS Toolkit ==
Originally created by Roxas75 and released in 2015. Shortly after the rxTools 2.6 release, Roxas75 announced his retirement from the rxTools project and has passed on the development of rxTools to the PastaCFW Team.


rxTools is a collection of hacking tools for Nintendo 3DS/3DSXL/2DS, compatible with all the system versions from 4.1 to 9.2. rxMode is a free custom firmware which works through rxTools, not meant to replace any existing software, but just my personal work made public and easy for the end-user. It was not meant, at the beginning, to be open-source, so you can expect some messed up code here. I do not support piracy in any way, all the data and information in my software have already been made public.
==Features==
* rxMode, free 3DS custom firmware.
* CTR Titles Decryption.
* Title Keys Decryption.
* Xorpad Generation.
* NAND Dumping.
* NAND Partitions Decryption/Injection.
* NAND FAT16 Xorpad Generation.
* System Titles Dumping.
* NAND Files Dumping/Injecting, for various hacks/mods.
* Much, much more.


==Tools​==
==Installation==
'''Setting up rxTools:'''
* If you have used a previous version, please delete SD:/rxTools, SD:/3ds/rxTools, and rxTools.dat, if present on your (m)SD card. 
* Extract the rxTools folder from the release and place it into the root of your card.
* If you are using an Old 3DS or 2DS, ensure you have Python 2.7 installed on your PC and run /Tools/o3ds_cdn_firm.py.
** This should download 3 files into a folder named /firm.
** Copy this entire folder and place it into SD:/rxTools/.
* If you are using an New 3DS, ensure you have Python 2.7 installed on your PC and run /Tools/n3ds_cdn_firm.py.
** This should download 1 file into a folder named /firm.
** Copy this entire folder and place it into SD:/rxTools/.
** You also need the files key_0x16.bin (N3DS arm9bin decryption, 9.6+ keyX) and key_0x1B.bin (N3DS 9.6 NCCH keyX) on the root of your SD card.
* For use with the Homebrew Launcher, go into the ninjhax folder and copy the /rxTools folder to SD:/3ds/ 


So, here we go with the utilities rxTools can offer.
'''Launch with Spider (9.2 or older):'''
* rxTools now stores its code.bin in rxTools/sys/code.bin (formerly /rxTools.dat).
* To launch rxTools using the Spider exploit visit https://dukesrg.github.io/?rxTools/sys/code.bin using the 3DS Internet Browser.  


*rxMode, free 3DS custom firmware
'''Install DS Profile (MSET) Exploit (MSET 6.x):'''
*CTR Titles Decryption
* Upon building, there will be a folder called release/mset that contains the files rxinstaller.nds and rxinstaller.bin.
*Title Keys Decryption
* Using a supported NDS flash cart, launch rxinstaller.nds to install the MSET exploit.
*Xorpad Generation
** Otherwise, on firmwares 9.2 or older, copy rxinstaller.bin (take it in release/mset/) to SD:/mset/.
*NAND Dumping
** Then visit https://dukesrg.github.io/?mset/rxinstaller.bin to install the MSET exploit via the Spider exploit.
*NAND Partitions Decryption/Injection
* If it worked, you'll see the bottom screen flash, and then the browser will appear to continue functioning normally.
*NAND FAT16 Xorpad Generation
* Press the home button, and after you see the Home Menu splash screen your DS will say An Error Occurred and ask you to reboot, but it's already done.
*System Titles Dumping
* You can then launch rxTools by going to Settings > Profile > DS Profile Settings.
*NAND Files Dumping/Injecting, for various hacks/mods
** Alternatively, you can install the MSET ROP with FBI.
*Much, much more
** Press select and use left and right on the D-pad to select rxTools3.x 4.x or rxTools3.x 6.x, depending on the version of MSET you are using.
* Note: Do not install 4.x MSET on a 2DS. Formatting in this configuration will cause a soft brick.

Make sure that the path to rxTools doesn't include space (' ').
== Setting up rxTools ==

== How to launch with Spider ==
rxTools ''now'' stores its code.bin in rxTools/sys/code.bin (formerly /rxTools.dat). To launch rxTools using the Spider exploit visit [https://dukesrg.github.io/?rxTools/sys/code.bin https://dukesrg.github.io/?rxTools/sys/code.bin] using the 3DS Internet Browser. (Requires ver 9.2 or older).
== How to install DS Profile (MSET) Exploit (requires MSET 6.x) ==
Upon building, there will be a folder called release/mset that contains the files rxinstaller.nds and rxinstaller.bin. Using a supported NDS flash cart, launch rxinstaller.nds to install the MSET exploit. Otherwise, on firmwares 9.2 or older, copy rxinstaller.bin (take it in release/mset/) to SD:/mset/, and visit [https://dukesrg.github.io/?mset/rxinstaller.bin https://dukesrg.github.io/?mset/rxinstaller.bin] to install the MSET exploit via the Spider exploit. If it worked, you'll see the bottom screen flash, and then the browser will appear to continue functioning normally. Press the home button, and after you see the Home Menu splash screen your DS will say &quot;an error occurred&quot; and ask you to reboot, but it's already done. You can then launch rxTools by going to Settings -&gt; Profile -&gt; DS Profile Settings. Alternatively, you can install the MSET ROP with FBI. Press select and use left and right on the D-pad to select &quot;rxTools3.x 4.x&quot; or &quot;rxTools3.x 6.x&quot;, depending on the version of MSET you are using.
