In the immortal words of Sir Integra Helsing" That would be retarded". No seriously that would be the DUMBEST thing they could do right now. That or attack other stashes. Which they seem to be doing right now!
Right as you post it I saw blawar going on the bigpp discord on his alt and threatening shutting you guys down for referencing this thread, stay classy blawar.
Funny enough those two quotes were directed at me and the guy who originally linked this thread there. It's yet another indication that he's not exactly a nice guy. Or he's not playing with the full deck
Son, if the issue with changing the INI file in his silly tinfoil pack is that a restart would be necessary, then that same issue lies with replacing CFW files. If you agree with that, then you didn't understand my post that you were replying to in the first place, and we're in agreement. Since you were replying to me to start with, the context is decided by what *I* was talking about.
I haven't dev'd for the Switch specifically, just the Wii and 3DS; I don't appreciate the condescension, for what seems to be a disagreement based on your choice of phrasing, and the circumstances of which you entered the thread, rather than knowledge on anyone's part.
The context I'm operating from is that you entered the thread seeming to defend blawar. Since you don't agree that hijacking a user's CFW to make modifications is acceptable, while I'm puzzled about your initial style of entry into the conversation, we agree -- which seems to be the only context I was not understanding. Regarding the dev documentation, because it's a Wiki, I have no way of verifying that any of that is official, and having not worked with the Switch ABI myself, I can only go off of what I can verify. If the Atmosphere devs are not sticking to what they agreed to, and an NRO is not able to function in a clean codespace, that is problematic. Without familiarity of the politics at play here, I can't say what the best way to approach that would be, but I do still thing something should be done about it. Which, like you said, good luck.
Our difference here seems to be prescriptive vs descriptive reasoning. I think whitelists are feasible. They are not future-proof insofar as they require updates (or at least config updates) when new CFWs are released, but you can ensure that the environment you're working in is exactly as you expect before making potentially bricking changes. I understand, and generally agree that CFW should function as OFW does, however, I see use cases for the changes here. Referencing the ABIs and the way things ought to be is of 0 use when you're bricking people. It provides no remedy, and no reassurance to anyone worried about the state of their console, especially if the firmware devs are resistant to change, as is repeatedly claimed in this thread. That is the prescriptive thinking. Coding based on how things actually are is far safer, even if one has to do more to achieve it. That is how I would do it. But also, I wouldn't hijack someone's firmware, so blawar and I clearly have very different philosophies.
Anyhow, if you're not arguing in favor of blawar, I'm very confused by your approach, your phrasing, and your insistence on rebutting folks who... apparently agree with you? In any case, most of us commenting here are trying to establish that what blawar's done in this release doesn't make any sense, is requiring more work from himself for something he purports not to support (which would actually be better for those who use it anyhow), and that exits the scope of what a single app ought to do. I'm glad we agree, and thank you for your work on tinfoilmod.
You didn't modify it properly. Why is that so hard to understand? It's like you aren't paying attention to what I'm saying at all, you just read two words and then make your reply based on that.
Nope, not overclock related. I can't tell you exactly what the missing features are, he declined to spell it out presumably because he doesn't feel like doing TX's work for them.
In full context, I was referencing disabling the tinfoil mod, not the big PP. By in large I have left the mod alone, trying to goad me about it is just encouraging a patch war that users lose in.
I also find it hypocritical that switch pirates is so anti-drm, yet they still use DRM to encrypt their links. Seems like you guys just pick and choose which DRM you like and do not like
Frick, this thread is almost better than watching a movie
Yup this and the sx os update thread

Because people in the scene are retarded and if that isn't done then links get shared and projects get destroyed, as it's happening right now when some idiot decided to post the direct links to the stash all over, HOWEVER this kind of DRM is meant to protect and not only does it not change the way the user's CFW behaves it also doesn't force the user to install and run meaningless side apps. Your DRM on the other hand...
Hey, first of all, greatly appreciate your work.
I can't seem to find this signed hbl.nsp you mentioned for download anywhere. Right now, I still have some old homebrew I'd like to keep functional and that's the only thing stopping me from updating Tinfoil - that would be just what I need to make the jump. Where is it available?
Thanks.

I mean, you can keep making wrong assumptions if you want, but it's stated clearly in the flycast thread that the emulator doesn't work AT ALL on SX OS, because of missing features, not that it runs slow because of clock speeds.
You just copy the files to sdmc:/atmosphere/, it disables the hotkey shortcuts so the atmosphere 9.0 temp fix for older homebrew still works.
Thanks. Any way to use the last HBG without installing malware? And, in the case this malware are installed in my SD, can erase reinstalling atmo & Kosmos?
Ohhh, I found it, tinfoilmod, right? I'm with 8.1 FW, and this scare me:
Warning: If using Atmosphere, please be careful of using the Firmware tab, as that may brick your device
What? Brick?
