And you know there was an attempt (by duke) but it pretty much failed because of poor coding (like hardcoded "magic numbers"). But I agree that there's just a lot of CFWs being in stalemate position (besides Luma3DS, Skeith and maybe ReiNAND if Rei is really about to release ReiNAND 5) like SaltFW, Lima3DS, I don't even know if we're going to see Kecleon being developed further. That's really sad because of different ideas just dying out
There have actually been several CFWs made. But the second they hit the forums, they are spammed by Luma3DS fans and brought down in the name of Luma3DS. We would have more CFWs right now if that cult wasn't ruining the scene. And it's not even Luma's or Wright's fault and I am not blaming either her or her project, I am completely blaming the userbase.
But why would anyone? Luma provides everything that 99,9% of users will ever need and more. Why make it more complicated than it needs to be? Of course you could Say, for versatility and so on, but really, basically everyone's needs are sufficed with Luma and there's only a handful of people who like to use alternatives just because they are there. I don't know of any CFW that provides an important feature which Luma does not offer.
Because not everyone wants to use Luma3DS. Luma3DS isn't the only CFW and it doesn't fit the needs/wants of everyone.
Not everyone wants to use Luma3DS. And it's more than a handful, we're just not allowed to enjoy anything else because the Cult of Luma has basically killed everything else. The CFW scene was basically killed by comments like this.
@duke_srg did. He refactored the whole tools part, but didn't touch the cfw part, and hoped to get some help from other devs to get a9lh. Sadly, no one helped.
I am not defending it, I am putting out that it's open source and anyone could continue it if they wanted to
I feel like this a loaded comment against me because the second I say I can't, it will be used as an argument against what I previously said.
Actually I have an entire list of things that are better
It's funny that now I am looking back at that and realized how big a mistake that was. I should have been pushing for someone to continue the project instead pushing to outright end it
Atleast I think that was a good move. Since keep using broken thing is not good at all.
But I could have easily suggested ideas to fixing the problem. Like yeah, the tools broken, I can think of a perfectly good idea to fix that. Like adding RXMode to Decrypt9 GUI. I know there was a project attempting to do that, but they didn't very far. But interestingly enough there was a build (or branch) of Decrypt9 with a CFW build into it. I ran into once and I currently looking for again.
I do mean those two. But what seemed to kill them was mostly lack of experience from the creators. There did seem to be some community interest though.
