Thanks so much for the quick reply! (the thread hadn't been used in a month so I wasn't expecting anything so fast) However, I think I am being stupid and using the parameters wrongly, could you show me an example of how it's used? Thanks again!

svcSleepThread(1000000);

This will wait a second.

svcSleepThread(1000000);

OK, thanks, that builds without error however, I think I am going about what I am trying to achieve all wrong - I am trying to get a basic animation going (frame A -> *wait one second* -> frame B -> *wait one second* -> frame A... etc.) I knew that using gfxDrawSprite and sleep probably wasn't the correct way of going about things but I wanted to see if it worked but the image doesn't animate. What is the 'proper way' of animating an image? (I was following Xem's tutorial but the trail just sort of dies after it tells you how to display a still image) Sorry for asking so many noob questions...

You should create a timer to do this.

sorry, like I said, total noob. How exactly would I go about this? If you could point me to some example code I would be very grateful. Thanks again

svcSleepThread(1000000);

This will wait a second.

The parameter of svcSleapThread(s64 ns) should be the number of nanseconds to wait, so to wait a second I think it should be:

svcSleepThread(1000000000);

You right.

You mean like this? https://gbatemp.net/threads/timer-very-simple.377928/ or did you mean something different?

OK, I'm back with another question - how do I get the 3ds to check a file on a remote server and download it if it is different to one on the SD card. I know that it requires SDMC and HTTP commands and I know homebrew has this capability, I just have no idea how to use it!

You should use some hashing checksum algorithm like the popular MD5 ones ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5 ).

Thanks, but I was kinda looking for some syntax from ctrulib or something lol.

Hello, yesterday I saw a thread saying that you can inject an app into Health & Safety. My question is, can we inject Cubic Ninja?

could you help me with my problem? (above)

 

[OctopusRift]

is there anyway to wait a number of seconds before continuing with the program? I tried using sleep(1) and #include <unistd> but that does not seem to work. Total noob to homebrew developing and I want to get this to work, thanks in advance!

What app is this for HB menu?

 

[Spatchy]

it would be nice if someone could talk me through it step by step - here's what I need:

This one works really well... try to learn using this...

OK, maybe I haven't been clear enough. What I need to do is make a tool that will update a .romfs file that is being used in hans.
the tool needs to do the following:

• check the name of the romfs on the sd card which will contain the version (eg 100.romfs)
• check the name of the romfs located on a server (eg 101.romfs)
• compare the two names and if the one on the server is a higher version than the one on the sd card, it will delete the one on the sd card and download the new one as well as a new hans shortcut pointing to it.
