Hacking Homebrew [Beta Release][Tester wanted] Kernel9 patch to speed up boot speed on high capacity SD card

[NostalgicMillennial]

is this....safe to use now?...

Testing this out with a 128GB SanDisk card, I haven't really noticed any increased speeds like the 2TB video that was only 4-5 seconds. I am also seeing some issues with mods that load files from the card, Smash NEOS crashed upon loading a stage.

no way to use this without a custom luma build, maybe a plugin ?

I wonder if it would be possible to reuse GodMode9's free space calculation (which is noticeably faster than Nintendo's code) during pre-boot, disable Nintendo's from running, and write the correct value in memory where Nintendo's would.

will that be added? because ill use it all the time if so!
also thanks for replying!

Let me try to implement it.

I haven't received any report of SD card corruption until now (and hopefully never in the future).

I am also seeing some issues with mods that load files from the card, Smash NEOS crashed upon loading a stage.

If you disable the patch (reject to apply the patch on boot) does it still crash?

Currently only way to use this patch is to use my custom luma or Nexus3DS (disabled by default, enable in advanced config) v0.3.0 or later.

I wonder if it would be possible to reuse GodMode9's free space calculation (which is noticeably faster than Nintendo's code) during pre-boot, disable Nintendo's from running, and write the correct value in memory where Nintendo's would.

I got the PR for this, however it was not faster
