You and Smea are so fucking awesome both of you are by far my favorite devs on the scene

Aww, thanks buddy

I'm uploading another beta

Beta 60 adds animated transitions between grid views. This is enabled by default, but can be disabled if desired in the grid settings.

I'm getting a problem (same with beta 59) ever since upgrading to hax 2.5 where sometimes (let's say 7 times out of 10) when opening homebrew, it just freezes on the grid launcher. I am not getting this problem with Smea's launcher. I am using a 10.1.0-27E N3DS, and have attempted with BrowserHax and ThemeHax.

Does it seem to make a difference what you're launching?

Nope, does it with every app from 3DS-FTP to the screenshot tool to SVDT to HANS. For apps where a title is picked, it doesn't crash until a title is picked.

Ok, does it seem to be 'cumulative'? In other words, does it work launching/quitting apps a certain number of times then freeze and you have to hard reset, and then it's ok again until the app launches accumulate again to the same level to make it hang? Sorry I don't feel like I'm explaining very well what I mean.

 

[RibShark]

Nope, I can turn it off, boot straight into the launcher and it still won't work 90% of the time.

Weird, I'm not having that problem here. Did the same beta version work ok in hax 2.1?

 

[RibShark]

Yeah, it worked fine then.

 

[JJTapia19]

Yeah, it worked fine then.

Did you tried disabling preload titles?

Looks like that actually worked. Thanks!

I understand what you mean. Launch Homebrew launcher. Then launch a Homebrew. L+R+B+Down(LRExit) exit. Launch Homebrew. LRExit. Launch Homebrew then system freeze. Power off system.

This happens after launching approximately 3 titles this way. Every time.

Happens on both launchers.

Thanks mate. I forgot about that I want to devise a better way of preloading the titles than the current background thread method. I'm still trying to figure this out so for now disabling the preload will be the only way really of improving the stability. I'm working on it though

It feels like a memory leak to me. Unfreed memory accumulating and resulting in a hang.

I know *hax2.5 is supposed to give more access to memory. Would that help your launcher in any way?

It should. More memory is always good. But memory leaks are always dangerous no matter how much memory you have available to leak into

Gosh, this is just getting better and better! Thanks for all that you've done!

Just a tiny suggestion (or bug, I dunno), when the "Display title ID" is on, it's actually hidden behind the water wave...thingy. It would be better to try placing the ID above the water backdrop, or in a different spot in the screen. Sure, I don't think many people would want to know the ID, & it's easily fixed by turning off the water, but I'm just putting this out there. :3

And maybe write Titled ID: before it!
BTW, there should totally be an option in the title launcher to launch every title with HANS!

 

[mashers]

Re. the title ID being hidden behind the waves, yeah I did think of that but to be honest now that ignored titles are configured in the settings there's no real need to know the title ID anyway so I'm thinking of just removing the option entirely.

Re. launching titles with HANS, I'll be implementing this shortly.
