I use switchbackup manager to see which games need to go on my usb hdd for xci loading. based on the sdk needed. or they go into the "install FW12 and up atmosphere folder"

Something similar to this is already done for the cart reader firmware on mariko units on atmosphere to support returning from sleep on firmwares lower to that of the cart reader. The cart reader firmware is cached ( and I think it is also decrypted ) when not seen on a folder on the SD card. I think this cached version is the lowest you can go on the sysnand/emunand firmware without having the return from sleep issue.

This is a somewhat vague idea I have about it and I could be wrong/uncomplete, but the idea still applies.
AMS/Hekate dump and cache the warmboot firmware from package1 for sleep (mariko patched the warmboot bug, so we can't use a custom warmboot firmware like Erista), nothing related to the gamecard.
Dumping descrypted lotus firmware would require pwning the lotus, which nobody has publicly done or is interested in doing.

I've downloaded all the games I own (164 of them). I've yet to see one with sdk 12.0.0+, that I can remember anyway. Not to say they don't exist, just haven't seen them yet.

I'm pretty sure sx os is dead.
You're not the only one with this assumption.

why would you even want to use a cfw that includes a brick code?
Older versions contains brick code. Not the latest (which is 3.1.0 i think?). But either way, you should switch to Atmosphere. This mess with patching games just sucks. Who wants to stay on firmware 11.0 all the time? Except for those people who believe that the sx os will magically get an update.

SXOS is dead. The website is down and has been down for a long time, and SXOS hasn't received any updates in nearly a year. You can't even buy an SXOS license anymore. SXOS is dead, move on to Atmosphere.

If you believe that SXOS is not dead, then you are delusional.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card

    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
