Hacking RELEASE: GATEWAY 2.2 "OMEGA" - Homebrew and Online support

Wait: smealum helped Gateway?

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".

@teamfail you have picked the correct name for your self mate

Untick "use download manager" = no malware fail.

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

Given the fact that people will be eager to download this, they'll probably miss it.

@cerap Yeah, it's a known Chrome issue I really hate.

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

I was thinking on that too... Why?

We all hope that

Probably a stupid question but how exactly do I update? Just replace Launcher.dat?

yes, just like most the others

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.

they probably just mean for the work towards the making of the tools required to compile homebrew.....or gateway is smealum XD jkn jkn

 

[zhdarkstar]

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

 

[smove]

yes, just like most the others

Uhm.. come again?

 

[cearp]

Uhm.. come again?

yes, just like the other updates, copy the launcher.dat to the sd card

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?
