Hello everyone. Last weeks I had nothing to do (ironically of course) so I decided to make a few improvements to this fantastic discontinued homebrew adapting existent codes. So I thought: "Why don't share it with all GBATemp community"? So, as a Christmas present, there it is (I think there's people who still likes Sunshell):

Installing is like always, but you can directly copy the "3ds" folder, "config.sun" and "index.lua" to the SD card so the main directory will be fixed in "/3ds/data/Sunshell", but you can choose everywhere you want. Copy the files and folders in the specified location and then install the new .cia.

Changelog v0.6:
- Build on LPP-3DS r5 (latest nightly has some issues, like messing with fonts and built-in keyboard incompatibility).
- Added a "Notepad" module, where you can choose every file for editing it as a simple text form in Danzeff keyboard. This can crash if the file is too big or there is more than a line.
- Added a "Download" module, where you can download files from the internet entering their direct links. Only works with HTTP protocol.
- Added a "Diagnostic" module where you can do buttons, 3D, camera, audio and touchscreen tests (I made it only for testing purposes, but I think it can be useful for someone).
- Added an "About" module, with some credits.
- Now you can exit Sunshell pressing HOME (which returns you to the Home menu) or POWER (which pressing it twice shuts down the console), or START + SELECT for reboot.
- In "Console Info", added "CPU Frequency" and "Language" settings, and removed "IP Adress".
- New icon for the CIA (the one made by user @NCorp ).
- Now "Video" module has a cleaner interface.
- Some changes to "Camera" module (some resolution values weren't working).
- Now you can press B instead of "OK" in case of a warning or an error.
- Solved bug where topbar icons weren't showing when modules like "Music", "FTP Server" or "Clock" were in background.
- Script "title_list.lua" has been extensively updated (this doesn't mean it's 100% completed).
- Added a Simple White theme (somebody in this thread requested it, I think).
- Some other minor fixes to some modules and overall, as well as syntax changes to make them compatible with the LPP-3DS build.

Changes between official v0.3.8 and v0.5 found in Github:
- Added "Record" module.
- Renamed "Photo" to "Gallery" and added "Camera" module.
- Now, if you use a CFW, Sunshell detects it correctly.
- Added Danzeff keyboard support.
- Minor bugfixes.

General bugs found:
- Flickering still exists...
- Some bugs while playing videos (for example, exiting when video is at 100% freezes the console) and when trying to exit from the module when nothing is loaded.
- WAV files doesn't load, nor recorded audios (I think it's a LPP-3DS issue, because I tried with another build and them worked with it, but this one has more cons than pros).
- Needs some general stabilization.

Rinnegatamante said here that an image editor and ARM9 payload launching are possible but I tried to implement them unsuccessfully.

I don't think I'll make a new version of this fork, but if there's something that you think you can help me to fix or add, or something that I made doesn't work (which is very possible), please tell me.

As always ENJOY!

PD: If anybody thinks about it, I'm not related to @Rinnegatamante in any way. I only tried to update Sunshell a little, and I did the best I can do, this is my first adventure in 3DS homebrew.

It's not that I don't disagree with you, but why?

Cool, tho Sunshell is useless to me. This could make me use it again

Rinnegatamantes homebrew is very unstable and buggy. I've tried several tools from him and the only stable one was chmm. The others had problems. Sunshell freezed when I chose a tool. Organize3d always crashed with randomly errors. Back to the time where bigredmenu was cool, it deleted the wrong cias in the nand when you deleted another system cia. There were several bricks because of this issue.
The other aspect is that Rinnegatamante is too arrogant to me, he has immediately offended several people who started to develop homebrew (they only asked for help) and claimed that they cannot even make a hello World. This is very wretched to me and that's why I don't like him.

Sorry for my bad English if it doesn't fit, I'm native German.

Thank you. If there's something I can do please tell me.

I'm not pretending to defend him, but as far as I know if you have these bugs is because you didn't installed or used them correctly. With ORGANIZ3D maybe you're right (xD), but Sunshell normally doesn't freezes with entering a module. About all these other stuff, you should have your reasons, but as I'm saying, I'm not defending him, because I don't know everything of what he did.

I know him, he's a jerk just ignore him.


About Rinnegatamante: If you don't know what he did you are okay but I don't like him because I experienced his actions.
Well, I think I can have an idea... Anyway, I hope you will enjoy my fork and if there is an issue, feel free to say that. ;)

PD: Thanks for all the likes!

You can try to convert it to .ogg, it uses to work with me. If you don't want to convert you can try an alternative like ctrmus...
