Hacking Official SaltFW - "Slim Alternative Firmware"

[Shadowhand]

Snip

I plan to release one more version soon, but I'm a little tied up right now. However as you said, it works as is with 0 problems.

Luma was updated to having a smaller byte size a couple commits ago @Shadowhand could make SalfFW even smaller! Take a look!

I know the commit you're talking about but here's the bad news: I had already removed that

@Shadowhand when using N3DS does it default clock+l2 or does it not patch that at all? I'm assuming no patch because if you had clock+l2 you'd break sonic all stars racing or whatever but the vast majority of games work with it so I like it as an option.

I like the idea of an all-sysnand cfw but I like my improved framerates.

No, there's no CPU speed patching. I've looked into per-game patching, but that's not very possible as it stands right now.

Why is there both an "arm9loaderhax.bin" and a "SaltFW.bin" in the release zip?

Read the installation notes on the README.md or the release page. It's for the lazy people.

I missed that part, but I still don't see the point, renaming a file is easy.

It really is, but again, I'm playing for the lowest common denominator here.

the lowest common denominator

Why? The actual lowest common denominator are the types that try to speed through the A9LH guide and then ask GBAtemp why they bricked their system.

DEVO​

Hey ShadowHand!I wanna know if ShadowNAND have a non-screen-init version?Wanna compile that~

No, that's beyond lowest denominator. Those are simply noobs.

Not yet. I'll be starting to work on ShadowNAND soon and I'll move the screeninit code to a later stage as well.
EDIT: forgot to mention that it needs screeninit because the latest commit has error screen if it can't load a payload.

 

[hobbledehoy899]

Those are simply noobs.

But noobs are the lowest common denominator.

 

[Shadowhand]

But noobs are the lowest common denominator.

Yes but there's a difference between noob that's able to follow directions, and a noob that can't.

lol Don't know what's wrong just did as the instructions and made new folder SaltFW for splash.bin and splashbottom.bin but it won't show the splash screen lol
Also the boot rate is not as high as Luma.(Switching to Luma made me able to boot it again)
There may be something wrong.Or I'm just out of luck?
Oh,just saw the log of
SaltFW 1.2 LTS
U should meanwhile update the README of https://github.com/RShadowhand/SaltFW
Or make a wiki like Luma's

boot-screns and payloads are irrelevant with this

Just got that I just did as README.md says.It should be updated!Or convert into a Wiki like Luma's.

Uhm? About what?

 

[BabyBichu]

Uhm? About what?

Did I post thatOkay I suggest that README.md should be updated or converted into a Wiki like Luma's.

These two should be removed,for example.They r removed!

How to use splash/bootlogo

1. Create SaltFW folder to the root of your SD.
2. Put splash.bin OR splashbottom.bin OR both in SaltFW folder
3. DONE!

How to use NTR CFW

1. Download this.
2. Put firmware.bin from the folder for your device, to the root of SD.
3. Install NTR CFW like regular.
4. DONE!

Why should I remove these? I don't really see your logic.
