Homebrew Clarification Thread - What is going on?

[Seriel]

Also, how long will this downgrade take to complete?

 

[Shubshub]

Considering you're doing your downgrade at home and with time, this not much of a problem imho.
But yeah the unsafe mode was expected anyway.

*insert meme here about how Unsafe Sex leads to bad things sometimes*

if the battery is fully charged, there's pretty much no way it will die during the downgrade. besides, the power light will turn red when it's low, and will blink for some time when it's getting close to dying.

It only checks for it before it begins.

Also, how long will this downgrade take to complete?

Not much time. That's why not a lot of battery will be actually needed to begin the thing.

Im idiot or the only code written its the menu?

The checks as well.
The menu does the checks too.
Really KernelTimeMachine isn't such a big deal.

Well yeah memchunkhax2 isnt out yet is it?

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

afaik KTM is just a quick tool to downgrade. Less hassle.

Finally... SNSHax isnt only for N3DS? Why are O3DS listed?

Its not SNSHax

SNSHax was a DowngradeHax for <=10.2 N3DS but memchunkhax2 allows for more and works for o3ds

KTM is the Downgrade App and Nothing more

 

[JustPingo]

Basically KTM's unsafe mode will skip the mandatory warning times and battery check. It will still contain checksuming because that costs nothing.

 

[NodePoint]

I was wondering how the downgrade process would work.
Do we have to provide a firmware file?
Are there upgrade steps or something so (like backups of the different version of apps on the system)?

Are you just hoping actual devs will use your menu?

They're probably going to stay clear of anything using goto, FYI.

 

[Shubshub]

actual devs

Whats with this "Actual Devs" bullshit, he provided proof that he is actually working on something =/ Just give it time

No he hasn't?

For sure, I don't know why he used goto but I won't touch his program ever
never use goto
ever

I don't see what's wrong with using a goto sometimes. Where I used it, it's very clear, and there is no performance issue with gotoes especially in C.

Neither has MassExplosion213, but that's not stopping a bunch of people for giving him credit either.

It's not a performance problem, it's impractical and should be avoided. There is much better alternatives. It's like using a rake as a shovel and saying, "it's just as fast!"

Also it's hard to read.

What ? MassExplosion is working with the team.

Except a Rake is clearly not as fast cause the dirt would just fall through it =/

Dirt doesn't fall through a goto statement you'd still get to the same function and it'd all be there

I don't have any trouble with it myself. I could have made the thing inside of a function but I believe a goto is much clearer. That's just moving the PC to somewhere else, really, not a big deal.
