This is a conclusion to my other two posts. If it can be called a conclusion: I wasn’t on the right track. Or any track at all, really. I knew what HID was, so that’s a start.
Someone much more knowledgeable than me has set up a button swapping tool based off of InputRedirection, which is in turn based off of NTR’s memory patching code. Modifying the injected code to model L=A was simple.
- Set up your 3DS Developer Environment.
- Grab mikahjc’s ButtonSwap3DS from GitHub, linked above. (The commit I’m using below is
2e3bbabfe1220fae51d18153835ecf680c8f1ee9.) - Open
injector/source/injected.sin your favorite text editor. Remove the following snippet:
// A ==> B
MOV R3, #0x2 // R3 Button mask
MOV R4, #0x3 // R4 EOR mask
AND R5, R6, R3 // Extract desired values
// 1:1 Swap (A<==>B)
//CMP R0, R3 // See if either are pressed: 1:1 swap
//EORNE R2, R2, R4 // If so, EOR temp HID Register: 1:1 swap
// X:1 Replace (L+B==>R)
CMP R5, #0 // See if all are pressed: X:1 Replace
EOREQ R2, R2, R4 // If so, EOR temp HID Register: X:1 Replace
// Y ==> A
MOV R3, #0x1
MOV R4, #0x80
LSL R4, R4, #4
ADD R4, R4, #1
AND R5, R6, R3
CMP R5, #0
EOREQ R2, R2, R4
// B ==> Y
MOV R3, #0x800
MOV R4, #0x80
LSL R4, R4, #4
ADD R4, R4, #2
AND R5, R6, R3
CMP R5, #0
EOREQ R2, R2, R4- Replace it with:
// A ==> L
MOV R3, #0x80
LSL R3, R3, #2
MOV R4, #0x80
LSL R4, R4, #2
ADD R4, R4, #1
AND R5, R6, R3
CMP R5, #0
EOREQ R2, R2, R4- Build with make, and you’ll find the .3ds/.cia/.zip in the injector/output/ folder.
