Hacking Hack SXOS

[whitezombie]

SXOS-GFX.exe crashes for me too when deleting the out folder but it does delete the folder. I just close the window, it doesn't bother me, it works, and I appreciate the work you put in to it.

Because NSZ and XCZ are not official formats, XCI and NSP are official formats. Websites that host warez doesn't allow compressed format.

I'm aware what those formats are and who "created" them. This was not the reason for XorTroll not to support them though.
You can find his words on this in the Goldleaf thread where people obviously started asking for NSZ support when the format appeared.

You said he doesn't support piracy then why he created Goldleaf.

Don't ask me, ask him. From an anti-piracy perspective, it's good to have title installers because the eShop won't last forever and people who bought games digitally can dump them to NSPs and preserve them "forever".
I'm aware that - from this perspective - it doesn't make sense to support NSPs but not support NSZs.
Honestly I think the real reason not to support NSZs is the fact that Blawar was involved in creating that format and XorTroll and Blawar don't ... like each other that much.

lol why you said don't ask you, you the one point that out, so you should show proof that he is anti piracy. Blawar has a lot of enemies anyway, with his fiasco with Hekate/Kosmos.

I presented you nothing but facts that anyone who's following the scene for a few years knows very well.
Why in the world would I waste my precious time looking for his exact posts only to show it to you?
If you don't believe me, go on then. I don't really care.

It doesn't crash for me, you can compile yourself - and mod what you need:

#include <sys/types.h>

It crash when u have already a out folder...

The fact that I see an sx license generator blows my mind

 

[Imancol]

Of all persons capable of providing an XCI mounter I think the only one that really would do it (from a moral perspective) might be Blawar.

Blawar? We are talking about Open Source homebrew.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

m4xw ported multiple emulators but he refused to include USB support into RetroArch for - as he said - anti-piracy reasons.
You might think "lol",

and pay them for something so incomplete that it has been dead for a long time?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

They prefer to fill up with incomplete ports than to dedicate themselves to just one and finish it.

Blawar? We are talking about Open Source homebrew.

I was talking about NSZ support in Goldleaf. Blawar was involved in developing NSZ. XorTroll dislikes Blawar. XorTroll didn't include NSZ support. That's all.
This has nothing to do with open source or not.
Sure the fact that Goldleaf is open source lead to Blawar forking it, naming it Goldbricks and including NSZ support. However this was rather to fool XorTroll (once again) but to help out the community because at that point we already had enough alternatives to deal with NSZ files and Blawar didn't go on to update Goldbricks.

I'm sorry but since this is the second time I'm reading this bullsh*t here on gbatemp (I hope the first wasn't by you as well) I have to stop you here.
Yes, m4xw seems to be somehow inactive now although some emulators might still have bugs/issues. However his free time is honestly well deserved for what he has done.
Without him we wouldn't be anywhere near the amount of emulators and the fantastic (despite all isues) state of RetroArch currently on the Switch.
He ported it to libnx back when it was using the other homebrew lib and made it that far, that RetroArch is upstreamed to the official project meaning we're receiving updates whenever RetroArch is updated anywhere else. We can use all fancy stuff like RetroAchievements, Netplay and god knows what else.
I can play literally all 2D systems perfectly fine on my Switch which makes it a retro powerhouse.
Sure when it comes to 3D, a few cores can't keep up. Nevertheless he did much for N64 emulation, PPSSPP, PSX, Dreamcast and even Citra although it's not really fun to use it on the Switch right now.
The Switch has it's limit. I don't know what everyone expect. That m4xw simply has to spend enough time on Citra to make it fullspeed? It's most likely not possible with that hardware. Some goes for other 3D cores so be thankful what you have and stop blaming him.

as easy as including lz4 support and any installer can implement it.

Without him we wouldn't be anywhere near the amount of emulators and the fantastic (despite all isues) state of RetroArch currently on the Switch.

the real credit goes to Switchroot, who gave him the libraries to port something anyone can do. But its lazy re-implementation to give more support to emulators leaves much to be desired.

And Blawar follows in his footsteps. They have only followed the shadows of Adubbz, yellows8, SciresM, plutoo, XorTroll, to name a few.

Modern Vintage Gamer's would make better ports, even create dedicated console emulators.

@Reacher17 Im getting this when I boot? Am I doing something wrong? XD

 

[lordelan]

port something anyone can do

Nope, certainly not anyone. But I assume you could have?
He did a big load amount of work for many months straight to get RetroArch to that state. Also the Mupen64plus-Next core is his sole work. Is that also something anyone can do?
Also you're confounding Switchroot with SwitchBrew.

SciresM, plutoo

Okay, now I'm sure you're trolling.
Nobody has done more (and still does) for the Switch homebrew scene than SciresM (and CTCaer).
He's still delivering within hours if a FW update happens.
Take a look that all release tags on github and you'll find out that each update not only supports the newest FW but does a lot under the surface. What exactly do you expect at this point?
Tell me. Please.
That he makes you Switch earning you Bitcoins and washing the dishes for you? Wake up already.
plutoo on the other hand never was someone who promised any amount of anything to release yet he just recently released the Bluetooth audio sysmodule so it's even worse you named him here too.

Yep thats what I have xD

Wicth your boot.dat and a request-licence.dat, launch the script to create a valide licence

 

[blackheartme]

pip install pycryptodome in CMD

hi can you elaborate more on this? im total noob in phyton and programming in general lol

 

[spotanjo3]

If you are a macOS user.. type pip install pycryptodome in terminal.

If you are a Windows user then type it in CMD. Make sure you download python first before do this. Here:
