Description

Hello. I was trying to update these cores using this guide for a really long time and I ended up realizing the current 3DS cores have features that aren't in that version of libctru, since this tool was built for older cores. NSUI's cores aren't up to date since 2020 either. So I wanted to ask, would it be possible to add a way to make forwarders using newer cores directly from the PC?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked rarch3ds_forwarder_creator guide and comparing its libctru assumptions with the current 3DS cores and NSUI's core versions. Define the scope for creating standalone CIA forwarders from a PC using recent cores, including how completion would be verified.
