TX has made it quite obvious that it has blindly copied code from Atmosphere without testing it out and making changes where necessary. Causing the bricks when updating to 9.0.0 via ChoiDujourNX.
IF TX have blindly copied code from Atmosphere, then ChoiDuJourNX should be working with no issues, since the 1.02 revision of CJNX apparently has atmos only compatible code calls in it (from discussions on Discord - currently trying to catch up on facts, rather than opinions). Since CJNX is also closed source it's not something *I* can easily look into.
TX also has not mentioned that as soon as you mount your GC then it'll update it and burn a fuse. Essentially rendering it useless if you decide to downgrade below 9.0.0.
Still checking, but that semi has to be expected - it was like an earlier GC firmware update - was it 3.x or 4.x where there was a forced GC update in the firmware update. It seems that with 9.0.0 the forced GC update process also burns a fuse - I'll need to verify in the atmos sections, though possibly that might be related to the atmos specific code in ChoiDuJourNX so it skips burning a fuse? Further research will hopefully uncover the truth rather than opinion.
The update has also broken custom xcis and converted xcis.
The GC code has changed and still boots single title XCIs with no issues - it is only the bundled XCIs with DLC and updates integrated which are having issues and guess what? That's probably because of the updated GC firmware from Nintendo. I'm guessing Nintendo now check to see if there is only a single titleID / licence / ticket in the XCI for it to run, if there are more (which should never occur in real cartridges) then it's not passing the security test.
But since XCI is an SX OS specifc thing and loads of atmos users have said they never see the point, I guess it won't effect anyone other than SX OS users, right?
Bonus Round: TX also took a feature from HOS (Horizon/Switch OS) and passed it off as their own work (support for splitted .xci files).
And features from SX OS have been integrated into Atmos (cheat engine) - who really cares (only the SX OS haters, that's who!)? I'm certain earlier version of Tinfoil and other third party installers had support for split NSP and XCI files many, many months previously.
It's almost like complaining if Windows added something like EXT4 support and all the *NIX and Apple users were boo hooing and throwing tantrums.
So to summarise this whole debacle:
I know I said I'd keep neutral but I couldn't help but document this shitshow. I'll be sure to prepare some popcorn for the next major release.
That's ok, no one ever for an instant thought you would keep quiet about a new release from TX. We could sense the pressure building up from the other side of the planet.
