- libconfig in portlibs (tried with v1.5) ##Building ###The recommended way:
mkdir build/cd build/cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../DevkitArm3DS.cmake ../makeBinaries should now be in thebuildfolder. ##Credits ###For contributions to hb_menu:

Here is a boot manager / loader, mainly for the HomeMenuHax but it should also work from homebrew menu(for loading arm9 payloads for example).
- 3ds with fw <= 9.2 !
- It currently allow you to configure boot entries (arm9 payload "*.bin/dat", tested with rxTools "code.bin" and homebrew menu "boot.3dsx") in a configuration file to be booted automatically, with a specified timer.
- It can boot some arm9 payload "*.bin/dat" or ".3dsx" files from a crappy file manager if needed.
- It can receive/execute .3dsx files from network (3dslink)
Installation :
- Install "HomeMenuHax", automatic one is better (no button to press for booting).
- Edit "boot.cfg" to suits your needs (be careful to errors)
- Copy "boot.3dsx" and "boot.cfg" to sdcard root
Custom backgrounds (Thanks to <a href="https://github.com/Flat" target="_blank" class="externalLink" rel="nofollow">@Flat</a>):
Images need to be in .bgr bin format. You can use this website to do so :

This can also be accomplished with image magick using the convert command and then rotating the image 90 degrees.Code:convert yourimg.png -channel BGR -separate -channel RGB -combine -rotate 90 yourimg.rgbPlace it on your sdcard and edit your config to the path of the image.
