Homebrew What actually slowhax is?

[Alex658]

You're right. But testers can do it with multiple 3DSs at the same time right?

If the program is buggy, you won't be able to debug it quick enough. It doesn't really matter if it's run from 1 or 300 3ds's at the same time. Unless the bug is caused by random chance, all debugs will bring the same report. And having to debug a thing once a month just to see if it'd work, sounds like a nightmare for any dev.

I did not understood...

So what and why Slowhax is so special?
Is it something that a9/Luma/hourglass users should be aware of?
And just an opinion: Veryslowpidhax sounds like an hoax. Why would anyone work on something that will take a full month to complete execution? I mean, If I were to "program" the hax, I wouldn't do it since NO ONE will test it. Its illogical.

No you should not be concerned about this. Pretty much if you have one of 4 dsiware games that were pulled and a homebrew entrypoint you can downgrade on 11.0 and 11.1!

Oh, so just to downgrade... Thanks for replying.

You could also install legit cias with this, but other than that, yeah. Those are it's two uses so far.

Yeah, you could also do that. I didn't mention it though because the main use you'll get out of it is downgrading and he mustn't worry at all about it anyway.

Yeah, but since all 4 usable games were pulled, the main use for it is to install legit cias on 11.0/11.1 consoles right now, i don't know what has been of the sudokuhax v0 dsiware injection though.

You can install legit CIAs without one of those games?

Read on another thread that so far, that injection doesn't work via slowhax/waithax. So yeah, you can get FBI going from the HBL, then use that to install the legit cia while you're on 11.0/11.1.
FBI was modified not to force SVChax/MCH2hax to be compatible with waithax.

Normally, FBI works via SVChax, when the 9.3-10.3 downgrades came along, NASA worked via MCH2hax.
This enables FBI to work via Waithax for those who have 11.0/11.1 but only give enough privileges to install legit titles, and it doesn't break signature checks (which is why installing/booting a pirated title will fail).
