We thought you might like a little something to celebrate the fact that it's Oktoberfest soon. So what better to raise a drink for than a new eLoader release, named after the Oktoberfest classic, Märzenbier!
The major new feature is support for v2.70 and v2.71 firmwares. That's right, full support for these 2 firmwares is now added, using a new kernel-mode syscall-finding technique (which is why 2.80 support is not yet possible).
As well as support for the v2.7 firmwares, there is also limited kernel mode support on v2.5-v2.71. This means that the .init program section (which contains functions declared with the 'constructor' attribute) will be called in kernel-mode for homebrew built with the kernel mode attribute. Note that you cannot create kernel-mode threads from the init functions in this release, due to security checks in the firmware.
The increased kernel access has also allowed us to add a built-in exception handler to eLoader, so that crashes can be caught and debugged more easily, as well as usually preventing the need to reboot.
You can pick up the Windows auto-installer for "Märzenbier" here, or the ZIP file version for other operating systems here. A list of confirmed working homebrew is in the Homebrew Database:
If you find others that work (or don't), please make sure to add an entry into the database!
