The importance of the ignore feature cannot be overstated.

I'm hoping Roxas will not be too sidetracked by this nonsense.
RxTools is an enormous project for one person to look after.
yeah i already reported the past couple of pages, was just pure BS (as is this post) hopefully roxas doesn't have to wade through it (sorry to everyone who does have to though) :)
could of all been summed up with language spoofing would improve region free compatibility

How much easy can be to critic the work made by a single man, for free and in freetime.
Also, you continue to talk about your "MOD", while we are here developing open-source.

And, to be clear, my regionfree feature bypasses the block to the region in the icon, which stops sysmenu from reading any other region icon.
So it's a bit like regionthree/regionfour, but from the home.
The fact that maybe the update data, the DLC from crossed regions or some particular games can create problems, it's a different thing.
Of course i can work on it, i just proposed a solution.

yeah to get your region free to near perfect you would need to disable the reading of update partitions for retail carts and enable some sort of automated (or manual) system language spoofer

im sure you will get it all figured out, but rome wasn't built in a day :D

I've been quiet from gbatemp for a while and haven't really been paying attention since about January but it seems like cfw stuff (pasta and roxastools) are really heating up. Also, I've been seeing GW is dieing comments more often. Can someone explain to me what Pasta, roxastools and everything else offers that I don't already have with gateway?




On another note, it's amazing how people still are bitching over the FREE options.

to sum it all up rxtools is very close to owning gateway (only current limits are no .3DS loading which is certainly no "biggie" and the whole "wahhh region free isnt 100% perfect on the day it was added")

and pasta CFW has the n3DS covered with everything except emunand

basically gateway is teetering on the edge of obsoletion (in some peoples eyes its already there, especially for o3DS owners)....so unless they have more tricks up their sleeves im doubting they will be sticking around much longer (which imo is a shame as imho they where the only guys with any chance of cracking the 9.6+ n3DS encryption, but if they arent making money you can hardly expect them to be bothered putting money into finding the solution)

I would think that they'd be more motivated than ever to crack anything past 9.2 as that would push them back into relevance.

but it would possibly not take long until their work gets "stolen" again and used in the free alternatives. so in the end it would still be pointless for them. They might even take extra time and delay it after (if) they find a way to do it in order to create extra protections for their work but it's always just a matter of time.

If they could crack the n3ds browser then that would be big as you need to buy a rare $60 game as it is now. Certainly >9.2 would be king though as the hackable new n3ds supply is dwindling.

They'll get a good sales surge before the homebrew people catch up though. Probably worth the effort.

nah, i dont see it personally, they are more focused on money and now with completely stable and free solutions being around there is pretty much zero markshare for them to take (well i guess 9.3-9.8 isnt anywhere near the figures they could be bothered working towards)....basically unless they already had something in the pipelines i doubt they will invest time and money into a platform that shows little chance of major future sales......i guess if anything they will go on to produce a sky3DS style card (assuming it isnt the same people behind gateway as the sky3DS already) that cant just be hacked and copied and released for free

yeah i actually doubt any of the top devs who made all these solutions available by simply documenting gateways exploits would be inclined to do so again as they dont like piracy so i doubt they would want to help it out again.....that said, the absolute huge majority of 3DS's are CFW compatible, and even if they make a full on exploit,a lot of people will be trying to sell off GW cards who are on 4.x-9.2 and using the free CFW, so even if they did manage to lock the exploit down it would still lead to no new sales (unless they produce a new card and cut off all the old GW cards from being used)

yifan lu's blog post back in January was the big bang of the current cfw scene and from the looks of it, he probably won't be back. That's a huge brain drain that's not easily replaced. I think a new GW exploit would go uncontested for a while. We'll see.

That's the ticket, a hybrid card that does sky3ds + CFW benefits. This is what they need to do to survive in the short term.

Anywoo, off topic is off topic. So how bout that awesome rxtools. :P Bring on the 9x mset.

yeah i guess they would have to lock down cia features again to stop people just downgrading more systems back to 9.2 using a single card....anyways yeah all OT for this thread, i guess 9.x MSET will be added soon, if he bases it on 4.x MSET he will have to just warn 2DS users against performing a system format to prevent bricked 2DS's the best solution would be using the 6.x MSET, but 4.x and a warning would be sufficient :)
chelsea fantasy is just stupid or what ?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

This is a total lack of respect
i will just go out on a limb and say maybe its just language problems and/or culture differences i certainly hope how he was coming across isn't what he was actually trying to say

not for me, for the world
he published inconcluse/bugged projects since 2.5
How about you take this idiocy elsewhere? Nothing is ever going to be bug free. The guy is working on it and is asking people who tested, why are you exactly complaining? Either you stop spamming this thread with your useless comments or just suck it up.

Yes, this a nice idea but I think my idea is more simple :P
yeah a simple toggle option in rxtools would be cool...although just using the 6.x MSET would be a more safe approach, unfortunately it would be more work, so whatever roxas chooses it will be appreciated.....and as long as 2ds owners have a nand backup they can always get a nand mod installed to unbrick :P
