Sorry for my bad English, but I'm French and I practise English only for 3 years.

What does it do?
And also where can I download it?

(I know I could probably google that or search here, but when you create a thread about releasing a new tool those two things shouldn't be missing!)

Ey...I remember you: you're the programmer that translated priiloader to French a couple months back (gbatemp linky). Sounds like you've been busy in between.

I'll try out the English version if you release it. Priiloader's mostly fine, but it isn't quite flakey on my uneek-nand. So even though the features don't quite blow me away (except maybe re-enabling bannerbomb on 4.3. Though the practical use of the hack is...erm...limited, it's still an achievement) the changes may have fixed some things.

PS: I bet your English is better than the average English speaker's French.

I release the 0.2 source code when 0.3 is released, 0.3 source code when 0.4 is released...

I'm uploading 0.2 source code on googlecode, please wait.

Thx

0.2 source code uploaded.
I'm translating 0.3 into English, please be patient, it will take a while.

(6:50:50 PM) r-win: when releasing, you should publish the code
(6:51:00 PM) r-win: and GPL says that you should not only release it on request, but on a publish
aka
QUOTE"But if you release the modified version to the public in some way, the GPL requires you to make the modified source code available to the program's users, under the GPL."
(6:53:25 PM) r-win: if the source is unchanged, they do not have to release it, but if they changed it, they must release it
(6:53:30 PM) r-win: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#G...rcePostedPublic

we should both read the GPL v2 here

Hmm...just tried it. Unfortunately, whatever it is that causes priiloader v0.7 to freeze after a few seconds on uneek+DI, does exactly the same for prefiix 0.3. Hmm...too bad. Can't really blame you (ey...it was certainly worth the try

), but the advantage over priiloader is kinda lost. It's nice to make projects like this to learn about programming, but I'm not sure what the advantage is about publicly releasing it. This is certainly still in beta stage (please don't tell me you haven't noticed the GUI for the installer isn't changed. When installing, it still asks if it's okay to install priiloader

).

any advantages over priiloader 0.7?
