R4iTT is a known flashcart with dozens of clones out there.
Here I try to write notes about the particular kernel it runs:
- The version number of kernels are identical across the board. i.e. if r4isdhc.hk has 1.70, then r4i3d.com 1.70 is identical, and so on
- This isn't the case for the r4igold.cc however, which seems to use its own version scheme, while the actual files are similar to the other kernels
- mixinfo.dat seems to be bogus on Wood-only kernels; they were only really used on the RTS kernels (which kinda sucks).
- TODO: test kernel without mixinfo.dat present
- However, infolib.dat based kernels do exist (from which version is unknown), and those do actually use infolib. This is easier to maintain by external users
- BL2CK kernel is an updated version of the last infolib-based kernel. Last known version: 1.52
- Each kernel for different vendor has a different boot hash
- is it adding some sort of check to see if the cart is the kernel it's for?
- akloader is encrypted in the mixinfo-based loaders.
- A decryption/extraction tool is here, which I also found independently but Xenon++ does it better: https://github.com/lifehackerhansol/xenobox/blob/main/applet/akextract_wood2.c
