Homebrew Clarification Thread - What is going on?

[The Catboy]

Months?

You have to make sure everything works and is stable enough for the general public. Nothing would be worse then release the code and finding it bricking people's systems because they didn't properly test it.

 

[Mrrraou]

were there any updates on who actually takes part in coding memchunkhax2?

It's written in the FAQ. There isn't anyone more; the thread would be updated otherwise. They are working on the hardest part, at the moment.

Yeah..I don't think it'd be a good idea for someone to use the new exploit IMMEDIATELY after it's released. I'd wait a few days even if they were to say they tested it. Stuff can always go wrong. Especially, when it comes to exploiting software, hardware.

I'll surely not downgrade my console the release day haha...

I might do it.

Gotta let a few test dummies go first x3
But really, i got a 2ds, wanna be safer than sorry :s

 

[Damon_girl]

I personally would wait a few days and see if people are able to downgrade successfully then do it. I have a limited edition Pikachu XL so I don't want anything to happen to it.

I will. I already have a 3DSXL on 9.2, so I don't mind all that much if my O3DS gets bricked.

 

[Substance12]

The whole purpose of the downgrader app is to make it as safe as possible.

 

[Mrrraou]

The downgrade shouldn't brick your 3DSes, as we will do tests on hardmodded consoles.

When the time comes would you mind providing the list of the devices you tested?

 

[Substance12]

One question, do firmware .cias work between models or there are specific .cias for each 3DS model and size?

there's different ones for Old and New.

for 2DS, 6.0 is a minimum. I don't know about 3DS XL.

I don't think that the 3DS XL would mind if you downgraded it to 2.0.0 (if you could), because I think it's almost the same hardware side.

probably, but better to be safe to not go super low (especially given "Cfg:GetSystemModel"). the system can tell if it's an XL or not.

I know about that function, hence why I am asking if the console size matters as well (for example, a .cia for a New 3DS wouldn't be the same than a .cia for a New 3DS XL)

no it's identical that way since both are still a "New" system.

 

[PixelTheKWolf]

Uh, sorry if i was inaccurate about the ~65% thing. i got it from someone else who posted. they said the exploit code is 65% done.

I think it was @TuxSH.

 

[demonotaku]

yea but the general structure of the exploit is the easiest part to work on
