Homebrew Question HBG shop new update and no full ram access

[linuxares]

Can't you just use the mod and not need to use any fork or mercury?

 

[Lacius]

I mean, it is well within my rights to disable services to old clients. If your mod is doing something with my software that I do not agree with, you shouldnt be shocked when I disable its services to force an upgrade. That is software development 101, everyone does it Go write nintendo some hate mail for disabling their online services for old clients

This isn't the problem. The problem is you're requiring the Atmosphere fork again, which means Tinfoil is unusable for some people. By disabling the requirement for the fork in 5.0.0, you demonstrated that there's actually no need for the fork. Whatever your reason for requiring the fork, it has nothing to do with making things better for users, and you are forcing your userbase to shrink. It's not a very smart thing to do.

@blawar said it himself, the "fork" of atmosphere isn't needed he just forces people to use it because he wants to not because tinfoil actually needs it.

That was true in 5.0.0, not in 5.1.0.

No, the mod is no longer supported.

It works fine on 5.00 I guess but not 5.1.0 until they add support for it.

I have discontinued TinfoilMod. The cryptographic keys have changed on 5.10 and so has the cryptographic VM. Hence, TinfoilMod cannot decrypt updated repositories; and even porting those private keys to the latest TinfoilMod release could be blocked easily.
Tinfoil 5.10 also removed most cryptographic keys from previous versions, rendering 5.10 incompatible with repositories using those keys.

sounds like it's easier to build your own installer then

I'd say it's easier to just hack onto DZ/Tinfoil, but that might be just me.
Considering the current state of public homebrew toolchains, I don't think any proper or viable homebrew/application could realistically be built.

I know a lot of people love Goldleaf, maybe fork it and add features to it? It's Opensource but @XorTroll wish not to add features such as NSZ since it would be only for piracy. A modified version would probably very appriated.

I'm sorry this is a bit off-topic but it's a shame to kill your mod. It's obvious you got talent.

 

[pcwizard7]

yea the latest version needs full ram access so use their nsp forwarder or one for homebrew loader

 

[Lacius]

The easiest solution would be for @blawar to drop the fork requirement and, you know, let people choose which CFW they want to use.

I can't recommend using Tinfoil (or anything that uses it) until the malware is gone.

 

[Zkajavier]

critical security patch, use mercury to update

So, I used Mercury to update Tinfoil and now it says the environment is corrupt. I suppose I need to fetch the fork manually after every update... would it be possible for the update to do that in the future?

 

[Bahamut2]

This thread is SAD... anyway, i hope new options will appear soon since tinfoil has the fastest USB speed rate for me and the "game updates" feature was really useful.
Till then, i will stick to manual installation and the use of external sources.

Not every update, the fork only changes when atmosphere does.

As I mentioned in our PM, you're going to have a lot of "newbs" who update Atmosphere in the future and receive the "install environment corrupt" error message. You're making things significantly harder on yourself and everyone who provides support.

Ive actually have very few people that have gotten the message, that did not know what to do. Most people understood that they werent extracting the whole zip when they tried to install it. And its obvious to them they need to copy everything. THe only support that generally comes from that, are people trying to find ways to avoid copying everything.

We haven't had an Atmosphere update since the fork was forced, friend.

 

[Kupie]

Is the atmos fork actually important? I saw there's a tinfoil mod that works with any CFW floating around

1. No, the fork doesn't actually solve any real problems. Forcing it only creates problems.
2. Tinfoil 5.1.0 will refuse to run without the fork.
3. Tinfoil 5.0.0 doesn't require the fork.
4. There was a mod for 5.0.0 and lower, but it's no longer supported.

It is an irony to be honest, Blawar should drop the requirement of his custom fork and mercury requirement. It is sad to get random requests for help even on ebay when I'm selling something else non related.

It's dropped in the latest release, I'm using it now with vanilla atmosphere without any of the additions, just tinfoil/hbg. It's working great.
