Hacking Keep using rxTools

[The Catboy]

You know, I would really like to hear some reasons to keep using RXTools. I made two threads giving reasons and options
https://gbatemp.net/threads/faq-what-cfw-is-best-for-me.428509/
https://gbatemp.net/threads/please-stop-using-rxtools.441784/
And someone even took the time to make a blog
https://gbatemp.net/entry/rxtools-why-should-you-stop-using-it-and-what-can-you-do.11313/
Actually give a reason to keep using it because your current ones aren't even correct.

rxTools is
magnificent Debatable and not a fact.
stable RXMode is ok, but the actual RXTools are extremely unstable and tend to break
has many features Unstable features that Decrypt9 does better.
and has been here for so long. That doesn't make it good, it's also been dead for months.
Keep using it, it's the best. I still use it every day. These aren't facts and you've posted no factual arguments to keep using it.

If homebrewers can install A9LH, what's stopping Nintendo from removing it in a similar fashion?

Because Nintendo would never make a targeted update to remove A9LH. The way A9LH is installed is specific to each system, which is why you can't use the OTP from my system on your system.
Updating it without that code will result in the system being bricked and a targeted update could result in bricking non-hacked systems. This is also why updating without FIRM0/1 protection results in a brick

What is stopping Nintendo from killing rxtools?

probably them selling 2DSes like crazy for DSiware downgrades. that's just a random guess though.

Actually what's stopping them is Nintendo being stupid with their updates. It would take 10 seconds to update the Homemenu to only work with newer NATIVE_FIRMs.

Good to know... I honestly wasn't aware of this. But I think RxTools needs to die off already. It will in time, as software leaves it in the dust and more and more features cripple.

It would die if these fanboys would just let it.

That was a bad rhetorical question, but hey, no harm in having it in another place on here...

same, i love the elf patches personally. including whole elfs in the cfw itself was the best idea ever, and hardcoded addresses for patches are awesome. still using 9.6 firm for emunand on rxtools, running 11.2

OP should read rxTools' source code before posting.

There's a reason why people gave up on maintening it...
