if your tool is already relying on text file, just release the tool and a place holder text file (empty, or some examples URL redirecting to nowhere).
if you want to give pre-filled full of URL .txt file on your discord, that's your choice, but don't provide the text file with illegal URL on github.

this way, there's no problem to share the program, either on gbatemp or even everywhere else (switchbru, etc.)
people can't create such a program, but they can fill the URL themselves, it's easy. if they really can't get the URL of each firmware, then it's not to this tool to do it, your tool is a good idea and should just be that : a downloader/unpacker with a list or url, right?

Probably Thomhack isnt going to finish this tool. I wish him good luck with it, anyways. As this tool is HEAVILY based on nXDownload (which i mean, nothing is changed unless the title :wink:), you gived to me lots of information i didnt think of it. And, lots of ideas, really. Thanks for sharing you're thoughts here. And, as always, you and the Moderators are keeping threads clean. Well done! :toot:

Isn't it is though that it's illegal to simply update your console via unofficial means? I'm no law jerk but how would Nintendo press charges against someone merely updating their console to ofw?

I remind you that you can't share that tool here if it has hardcoding URLs.

Good luck for your project, that's just too sad you decided to make it specific to SX OS while it could have been sharable and open to everyone.
it could, for example, have been made open with no hardcoded url, and TeamXecuter could provide a version with url they edited themselves, their choice to provide any tool on their website. but closing your project to a specific team/url is (to me) too bad and closed minded as your tool will be good only to one thing. If TeamXecuter doesn't update the file to that hardcoded link, your tool become useless, while if it's open then users would be able to edit the url to any new host they know.
But, it's your choice.

Dontwait, I'm waiting for your updated version then! glad I could help improving your tool.

From not managing to compile atmosphere and annoying the heck out of everyone to Team Xecuter, ehh?

I would honestly count this as a troll if it wouldn't be for the very 'interesting' person thomleg is. SX OS getting his """high quality""" code added would not only be very ironic for haters but completely ruin their reputation what would be weird after all the work they had with some credible (or less credible sometimes) people to create homebrew recently.
Based Ping Long ain't going to allow your code thomleg

    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
