Homebrew Discussion SX OS Crack Thread

[Reisyukaku]

It appears you are. It sounds like you only partially removed the protection checks, or it would be fully working.

The point im trying to make is what if the issue is not the software and it's just either a lack of patches or it requires some modified kip.. Adding that stuff in and making it work wouldn't magically just make the menu now be considered cracked despite havent not modified it any further. Since it didnt boot and now it does, i think thats basically book definition.

Well who cares actually, who cares about SX OS, when we Soon™ will have everything we need in ReiNX
Maybe the next time when Rei is bored, he might find out if it is missing a kip, or patch

I think someone forgot the internet archive was a thing. Sure, it's 15 days ago, but still.

or might have time to write a XCI loader or emunand

but respect to you Rei you are one of a few who can actually do this

The work you did to bypass certain security in the software is amazing, definitely. But you can't call it a crack, because the paying portion of the software that is supposed to be bypassed and working... isn't working, whether that's something you or some one else has to do.

If some one torrented a crack for a game, and asked why they can only go to the menu and play the first level like in the demo yet can't play the full game, no amount of response or reason on the cracker's end is going to deem that crack a crack, no matter how justified their efforts are. It would get taken down by sites, because it's simply not a crack. In this case, it's the same thing, while the work you did is great, no matter how much you show you did, you cannot call it a crack. It's a pointless release until the function behind the paywall works.

I understand what you mean but using your example, if you downloaded a cracked game and you got an error because you didn't install the proper environment on your os, would you say it's not a crack?

That’s a user error and wouldn’t invalidate that the game was indeed cracked. By scene standards, if you released your “crack” it would be nuked as it doesn’t enable full functionality like the paid version

I'm not for or against a crack, but rei isn't doing a 'scene release', so who cares about scene rules...

It was just an example why the crack is not a proper crack

 

[MachRc]

People are childish.
Just because one person releases a crack a few hours before me, im a bad person and apparently Stole from Rei.
Sure, fappa.

Tons of Information on how SX OS works is now gone.

You guys complained when:
- I made this threads - complained about ethics (says pirates here probably from 3ds scene who use shit like freeshop)
- Explained a PoC on how editing the boot.dat's public key could effectively let us crack SX OS - complained that I had no work to show and apparently just stole info from others
- Literally re-compiled an edited version with the new key that booted but froze (progress none the less) - complained that I stole hexkyz work even though hexkyz dealt with decryption keys and I dealt with unpacking and repacking efforts
...
- Released the .nro Album App of SX OS 1.4 - complained yet again, relatively same reason as above
- Patched/Cracked the .nro and released it on Twitter (An essential step to a complete SX OS crack) - complained making accusations that I stole rei's crack and just edited text (which is very not true)

Notable ACTUAL fucking discussion made on this thread:
- A dude pointed out the location of the public key
- Explained how he found it
- Some users explained about some of the Console Fingerprint make-up that I had wrong, mainly the "regular old ascii->hex" ones.
- thats about it, depressing af, everyone else: ethics, why crack its only $30 you paid $300 on switch, pragma is a fagma, pragma fuck off

What I learned:
People here are more toxic then overwatch and thats fucking saying something.
All of you guys are leeching tools that just complain when progress is made, regardless how progress is made, by who, or what was done, you just complain.

Notable Morons:

(Decides to follow me around everywhere and complain even on twitter - even took the time out of his own day to send a retarded pm see here)

Welcome to the GBATEMP, where we hate you and your crack-ity crack dont matter.

Cool story, bro, but you can never beat archives:

[lolnintendoman]

Dont have overview anymore, why is the information pragma released about SX OS gone?

The menu is cracked, but SX OS is more than just the menu. The rest hasn't been cracked, therefore SX OS isn't cracked.

Whether it's just a lack of patches, modified kip, or whatever.

I might be wrong, but going by Warez Scene rules this would be classed as a 'Global Nuke' for being only a partial crack.

It seems more targeted towards movies.

"o Global Nuke:

o Nuked because of the release itself. It is nuked because something is wrong with the release, for example: sound errors, dupe, freezing video, bad rip, etc. If a group will find out there is something wrong, they can request a global nuke."

But I can see how the intent could be used, we need a PROPER release and then this can be Global Nuked.

I thought about it too.
Of course this is something that does not interest him ...

The rest of it doesnt need cracking. The license is the only DRM lol.. the rest of the OS is shit anyways and nothing that every open source cfw doesnt already have basically.

Really though. What was it that "just worked" first?
Notice the past tense btw

 

[wurstpistole]

XCI loading?

 

[Pluupy]

XCI loading?

Seriously this. Loading XCI is the only reason to get SX OS now...

Then again, sx does have actual updates whereas the hacking community just tends to fuck around for a few weeks, cause drama, and maybe something will be released by a smart fella who's avoided everyone until then.
