Atmosphere is in continuous development, SciresM loves pokemon, as long as theres pokemon games, SciresM will be there to RE the game or console where the pokemon game runs.
the good thing with atmosphere is it doesn't actually need to be about reswitched team after release because its open source...

Imagine if a gazillion amount of different communities start messing with it and we end up with a ton of builds out there to test all with different stuff and bug fixes in each different one.

While TX is stuck to their closed team.

I'm unconcerned.

That's fair.


... I'm not going anywhere, and Atmosphere's receiving active dev work. Why would I worry about promotion when I haven't even released a build that I provide support for? ...

Why to movies release trailers to unreleased movies?


... Atmosphere's already pretty feature-rich, as evidenced by the number of people using Hekate to launch it. The sticking point at present is just booting it.
Things'll get done as they get done, and that'll be as soon as they can. People who are desperate to stay up to date with updates can always just read the #cfw-development channel in ReSwitched's discord, where I talk about what I'm working on pretty much every day. I don't really think it's necessary to provide push updates, so to speak, when anyone who wants them can listen in.

As for Hekate, you continue to warn users (as you should) not to use unfinished software/applications. So, for those of us who don't want to brick our devices with half-written code, we have no idea how "feature-rich" it is.

Direct quote from a friend regarding the Discord server... "Warning... The ReSwitched Discord is a minefield. No one is respected."


Unfortunately not everyone is as philosophical as you but hopefully this will quieten down the naysayers for a while.
I've always said just keep an eye on the commits. It's pretty interesting stuff going in. And you learn from reading the diffs

SciresM, himself, warned users not to watch commits, for the time being, because he is busy debugging. During debugging, very few commits are made.


Atmosphere will never come to fruition
It's open-source, how do you figure?

You took my comment out of context...
Atmosphere will never come to fruition, if the developers don't start tying all the parts together.


If ScriesM or ReSwitched (for some unforseen reason) doesn't release Atmosphere someone else with the coding capabilities will.

I guess all we can do is wait, and find out. I'd say SciresM is the "subject matter expert", though.


I already knew you were referring to differences in how much the devs care about exerting their pride in their work. Although most of us can agree that ReSwitched is more focused on finishing their work than promoting it, that would be putting words in their mouth. I hope you now understand that there are more important things than being first or advertising your product.

Sounds like you need to take an advertising class... Being first at advertising your product is ALWAYS best. And what's more, it's better to release your product/service before your competition—even if your product is not superior, or is subpar, to your competition's product. Innovative users expect bugs, and they will work through them with the product/service. Getting it "in the hands" of your customers/users will promote itself. People hate all over TX, and they screwed up MANY things about their product. But guess what... Those same people are using the product. And some of the ReSwitched team is actually RE'ing the TX product. I guess that means they purchased it too, right?


everyone wants to complain, no one wants to help, i wish you could. You do good work

People get shunned and shamed for trying to help. If you're always being put down for your work, would you continue trying to help someone?


And I wonder where 15th June release date came from unless it was meant to be in 2019

This date was for Fusee Gelee, not Atmosphere.


Atmosphere isn't actually bootable yet via fusee.
What people have been booting with Hekate *is atmosphere* -- stuff will work the same way it does when you do that.

...and people have been bricking and banning systems in this manner. Not a good idea to toy in this manner, right?


Because CFW totally equals a tethered payload launcher. SX will end up just like everything that came before proper CFW. Dead.

I'd disagree. I'm not an SX user, nor do I plan purchasing one. However, I don't see their product going away any time soon—especially since Atmosphere is, in my opinion, many months away from being a reliable product.


You do realize that if/when coldboot CFW comes, SX can adapt, right?

Agreed, @Memoir. I think @SapphireExile wasn't thinking outside the box.


I'm honestly extremely curious how TX is going to handle the Mariko units. Once they're out in the wild, they definitely have to provide some sort of update in regards to their product. They probably will try to find another entry point but whether its a coldboot or warmboot is left to speculation.

Agreed. It will be interesting to see what Mariko will, or will not, do. No one knows.


You first need to go through boot camp to be allowed in. I tried. I thought I'd read the introduction text thorough and answered the right questions but I was kicked out. Good luck, soldier.

Yep. "Minefield"


Is this coming anytime soon or no one knows yet?? July? Will we have emunand or is not implemented yet? Thanks

Soon™ No one even knows if it will ever come.

It's really not hard to get in if you actually read the rules rather than skim them. It took me like 5 minutes and I was in.
Now staying in is a problem. They are extremely liberal, and if they catch any hint of you being even remotely conservative they will start finding virtually any reason to ban you.
Had my community status revoked because I didn't agree with ktemkin's viewpoints, and gave facts that disproved her. Because heaven forbid you listen to facts rather than feelings.

You fail to see the flaw in your logic. Since Atmosphere is open sourced, SX OS can implement everything it is developed for it.

.

To be fair he said don't rely on the frequency yes which makes perfect sense. If you're a dev then you'll know the road to release is long and arduous but the commit messages actually give some context on what's been worked on / completed. Plus reading the code you learn something sometimes. Win win :)

You do realize TX can steal open source code and put it into their closed source product. Wouldn't be legal but they don't care about that now do they?

I thought it'd be nice to read stuff there once in a while but honestly I don't really need or want to be part of that chat and I don't pay much attention to this forum either. It's all mumbo jumbo until something comes out.

The rest of that sentence is irrelevant though. If the current developers don't tie in the pieces, other developers will. So in the end Atmosphere will see the light of day.

Plus, I'm not sure why you think advertisement is needed for a CFW or homebrew. B9S just popped up out of nowhere while everyone was waiting for SigHax. B9S was never advertised and look how popular it became.

I guess all we can do is wait, and find out. I'd say SciresM is the "subject matter expert", though.
That it is. And yes I agree he's the "subject matter expert" but you never know who's going to pop up next. It's still pretty early in this consoles lifespan.

Yes they can, but will not come at the same day and atmosphere could potentially be always ahead.

And it can also have even more bad teams adding private stuff into atmosphere, though that wouldnt be a good practise making anything private...

Also it doesn't matter TX can copy anything as atmosphere remains free 4 ever and will probably have massive continuous support after release (maybe even nightly builds that I always love and TX can't also compete with that).

TX was able to make a proper back up loader thats why team reswitched wants to crack the sx os (they say its for fun) but I think they want to copy tx method.

Maybe in the commit messages, SciresM should note "top priority is Atmoshphere, but I've been working on yuzu".

That was towards debugging a synchronization problem with PM. If you had read any of the commentary in the channel where I talk about Atmosphere dev or in Yuzu's server you'd know that my SystemEvent implementation has accuracy issues -- my intent was to reimplement the relevant SVCs for yuzu, and thereby gain a better understanding of their quirks (and better understand where my Event implementation goes wrong).

Thanks, though.
