Homebrew Homebrew Development

[elhobbs]

So a while after I posted that I looked into someone else's code (OpenSyobon3DS) for how they handled audio (they technically got the code from Smealums Portal3DS, the difference being that theirs actually worked as I imagine Smealum hasn't worked on that in a while), which I had previously been looking at but to no avail. But after messing around for a while and really just putting a bunch of debug code everywhere to see what was and wasn't happening I did get it to work.
So although in the end I didn't use your suggestion, I still thank you for your help and hope I didn't waste any valuable time ;p .

You did essentially what I said - look at an existing example. Glad to offer help and glad you figured it out!

what is Eol

End of Life, meaning, the general point in time where Nintendo stops supporting the 3DS.

Oh ok but they wont end the support for a whole year i believe its what i heard

If that's the case, then Soundhax support for 11.6 won't be released until at least a year from now. Sorry.

That's a whole 'nother year's worth of updates, where they'll add more stability....

 

[Gamekiller78]

But Nintendo i hear arent gonna be updating it daily no more so it shouldn't be hard to make a new sound haxs

That's a good estimate as far as full 1st party support, but "weak support" with occasional 3rd party games and firm updates, will probably go on for 2-3 more years.

The idea with "EoL" is to release the exploit when Nintendo stops updating the firmware. That's a tricky thing to estimate as they never announce when they're ending support for firm updates.

What I would do (if I believed in EoL releases) is to wait until the 3ds has stopped production. That way, anything you buy in a store or online should be on exploitable firmware.

Plus dude soundhaxs was the bomb tho it made life with homebrew so easy.

May not update much. But they will go bat crap crazy when any exploits release. And you seen the somewhat recent rpghax and flipnotestudio? They got shut down within hours of being released.

Get a DS flashcard now and you'll never worry about being without homebrew again

That's honestly the way to go. Good userland entrypoints are difficult to find and maintain.

 

[Gamekiller78]

Yeah you are right but some people are not gonna wanna sit easy waiting...ik a ton of people who pissed do to the fact they have to wait year or 2 or who knows 3 years.

It's even easier now! If you have $20

It's not that hard? Oh okay, so can you do it then?

 

[Gamekiller78]

Im not a coding genus i wish probably not

Then trust us when we say that it's in no way easy. The new soundhax has to use something completely different from the old one and if Nintendo patches that up, there is a huge chance that there are no bug lefts to use in the sound app to make a new one.

 

[Gamekiller78]

i could try actually but it might not work

Even if a system is EOL or deader than dead it can be updated. Look at the Wii U with 5.3.2 being released so long after the browser hax, Haxchi. Or even better - the PSP getting a minor update after 4 years (one year after Sony officially killed it). Just saying...
