Does Rosalina affect battery usage like NTR-CFW or it works differently? If so, what's the real difference between Rosalina and NTR-CFW?

No. NO. NOO. I'm not buying this Rosalina shit. Even though it has a menu, that's it. ANYTHING I DO THAT LUMA3DS DOESN'T LIKE, CRASHES MY GAME AND FORCES ME TO SHUT DOWN. I HAVE to downgrade. Can I do it with SafeB9SInstaller, or will that give a me a fu**ing error too and brick my system? This Luma3DS update is the MOST RUSHED thing I've ever seen in the 3DS hacking community.

You should be able to use safeb9sinstaller v0.0.7 to downgrade from b9s 1.2 to 1.0, and then replace Luma's boot.firm with the one from 7.1. Detailed instructions here, just use the boot9strap 1.0 release. Growing pains like this are why I try not to be on the bleeding edge.

It's not necessary to downgrade B9S. For now I'm maintaining the "legacy" branch on github which is basically 8.0 minus Rosalina (so all the improvements/new features brought by Rosalina are gone).
Here's a build of the latest commit https://workupload.com/file/d9JaET5

Oh, very nice, I hadn't noticed there was a legacy build now. Looking forward to Rosalina when it's a little more stable.

Can Luma chainload itself? For example, can you have the legacy version as boot.firm and put 8.0 and the latest hourly in sd:/luma/payloads for testing purposes?

    I thought PS4/5 and Xbox One emulation would be kind of easy since they basically just a PC
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    they sorta are a pc
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They haslve dedicated on board chips that aren't tweaked like x64/x32 afaik
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    but its a custom os for both of them
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc

  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    the ps3 used to support installing linux because the cpu was so powerful
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Then the games are $70 and they want to reboot and refresh the same game every year

    I'm avoiding buying from the big 3 at all atm
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At one point PC game pads where poorly supported, loading a game had setup, it was complicated. Now it's almost as easy as a console.
