Protip for all: Don't uses GW's main mirror for downloading the firmware. It added a TON of rogue extensions to my Google Chrome browser, as well as probably a few spyware apps I'll have to clean. Datafilehost uses a proprietary file downloader which downloads a ton of stuff, even if you decline all the offers they give you, whereas UploadMB (Both the mirror 1 and 2 links are the same) just gives you the zip file.

That's the reason why you don't select "Use our download manager and get recommended downloads".

Untick "use download manager" = no malware fail.

worked perfectly with firefox... surely chrome would be able to prevent apps adding automatically? that sucks

I hope someone codes a movie player that can play 3D content...

There is a movie player app, but no one know how to encode for it I think.

There are also coverts online of 3D movies that apparently work from the photo/video function, no need for an app... but I hear they are HUGE files, and they stutter. I havent tested them.

Surprised this hasn't been added to the front page yet, as this is two of two most requested features coming to fruition.

I was thinking on that too... Why?
Smea didn't help Gateway directly. He simply wrote the lion's share of ctrlib, which is the lib the yeti.3ds demo was compiled in.

It's ironic that Gateway is thanking smea when a lot of what he learned came from reverse engineering their firmware. lol

Yes there is a way to convert for the video player, but you're limited to 10 minute chunks. Also the size and optimizations of it is impractical. I think it would be better if it could play HOU (half over under) SD (standard definition) .avi files. Shoot because of the resolution they don't even have to use HOU. They could do full OU ay 800 x 240.

But considering the code it's not publicly released yet, how gateway team got their hands on him? :ninja:

    @Xdqwerty, Its funny because crypto cannot be recovered, just another one of those Nigerian scams that ask you for a Google Play giftcard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBs0AG_MN3g

    @SylverReZ, why are most scams from mid-east countries?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, I've reported the domain directly to their registrar so that they can take action. ;)

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, To be fair, I have no idea.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because they are not as economic compared to us.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, so their only way of getting money is thru scams?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Exactly.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Why not they just mine Monero instead of scamming vulnerable people? If they have a decent machine they can hit a jackpot at any given time.

    Bitcoin on the other hand, requires a very powerful mining rig and is more costly.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, different cultures so probably they have their reasons
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yes a $2,000 rig for $5 a day

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Technically, cryptocurrencies aren't illegal, as long as you don't use it for criminal activity. If you sign up with an exchange, and that they get a tip from law enforcement, they have the right to freeze your assets.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, Yea I heard law is vastly different there
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Nigeria's central bank did make crypto illegal before, until last year they lifted the ban. Always make sure to check before you exchange. ;)

    @SylverReZ, speaking of crypto i remember reading about a guy who spend like 10 grand bitcoin on a couple pizzas (when bitcoin wasnt as worthy as nowadays)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's mental. If he had saved up when Bitcoin sky-rocketed in price, then he might've become the next Jeff Bezos for all I know.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, he couldnt know the price was gonna skyrocket anyway
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Then it dropped sometime in 2022, 2021 was when it really went up in price.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, I also recall watching a video of some failed games with their own crypto currency or smth like that, lemme link it to you (it's in spanish tho)
