I've seen lots of pros/cons for various installers. I'm curious to see what the majority of people are using (and why). Please vote and add your comments for why you prefer your favorite installer.

Real tinfoil + ns-usbloader for me. Reason: it's been 100% reliable, unlike every other option I've tried.

Goldleaf has always given me a hard time when trying to install titles over USB.

After trying what you've listed it works like a charm, I think I'll be switching to it as my default installation application. :)

I’ve always used the built in sxos installer never had a problem with it

Ditto. Only issue is XCI's installed with it don't play in Atmosphere, but I think that's an issue of all XCIs installed directly for Atmosphere? For NSPs it seems to work just fine, and of course it loads XCIs which nothing else does, and launches homebrew just fine (other homebrew launchers I've tried can be buggy).

    Mediocre at worst
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    I guess that's still not the worst.
    For a long time it used to be, that whenever anyone asked me how I'm doing, I could only ever give negative answers.

    @IC_, btw I made a bluesky account a while ago but i'm not yet used to it bc most of the content I get is not of my interest
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, thats why i'm staying in Twitter
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    I haven't ever used either of them, besides viewing specific content while logged-out.
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    I am not sure what to think of Bluesky. Some people are overly positive about it, some are overly negative. It popped out of nowhere when seemingly everyone who dumped Twitter had already moved to Mastodon or similar federated services.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, not liking/doing what everyone else likes/does sort of makes me feel bad
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    I still don't get what the deal with Bluesky is, I heard it was supposed to be federated and possible to self-host like Mastodon as well, but somehow I haven't seen or heard anyone doing that. Yet people complain about community and moderation issues on the official Bluesky instance. I really don't get what's going on and how it's supposed to work.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, Yeah most of the posts I get are either about polítics or selfies and all that

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, although I just asked on the official subreddit if there is any feed(s) with the content I like
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    Myself, I have no interest in using (having an account on) such a social media website. People are often surprised that I don't have any social media and none of the most popular IM services, especially in real life. But I continue to stand against it, even when so many people have complained about it. Even if it makes my life a bit harder.
  • A @ anotherthing:
    I don't bother with social media.

    @anotherthing, being online is one of my few ways of entertainment since I will be murdered/kidnapped if I go outside while alone

  • IC_ @ IC_:
    At some point I should probably create my own blog website, so my blogs can reach more people outside of GBAtemp. Long-form blogs are much nicer in my opinion compared to this modern "microblogging".
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, I ran out of ideas for blog entries and thus I just make profile posts
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    I still have lots of ideas, but it unfortunately does take a lot more effort to write a good blog entry with photos than to write a simple post.
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    Once I finish this project I've been working on for months, I'll hopefully do a blog entry about it.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, I have been starting making a game, I will record a gameplay of the battle system once it's relatively done

    @IC_, hint: it's like this game https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFz7zrzwpXxQ9mBXSHDK-_qHX0mpzuOgx&si=YaVPE5fsAG4kJHtt
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    Haven't ever heard of it, but it could be interesting. Are you using RPGmaker for it, or something else?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, gdevelop
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    Nice, it's open-source.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, I only use "vanilla" gdevelop since I always forget how to code
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also lemme show you a picture of how events work in it
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    I think free and open-source software is a very important benefit to everyone, even if you're not going to study or modify the code.
