Homebrew [PSA] Please stop using RxTools.

[MsMidnight]

You can't make dukesrg's fork an exception if you're talking about RxTools.

And this thread is practically flame bait.

 

[Sumsquat]

Are you serious? THIS is a problem for you? What CFW someone has installed on THEIR hardware?
I'm running latest Luma nightlies myself, but why should I bitch about it? Let that idiotic "master race"-thought out of your mind and stop being a moron.

But it's still in alpha, and it's only patching up bugs from Roxas75's 2.6 release at this point with a few extra features added.

Not even talking about A9LH here, so great job for bringing it up.

You're not talking about a9lh, but you're of course saying that rxTools-users are inferior and MUST stop using it. This is on-point "master race".

Alpha isn't the same thing as an actual release though, and I was referring to Roxas75's version in the OP.

 

[DKB]

"noob" lol

and oh boy here we go again it's like with the GATEWAY OH MY GOD

I'm not. I'm saying the CFW itself, specifically the ROXAS75 version, is outdated and people should help THEMSELVES and get a better CFW. Stop putting words in my mouth.

 

[MsMidnight]

By telling us to stop using rxtools, you're practically telling us rxtools users are peasants. You're a margen67 for cfw

Why are you even saying something dumb like that? No one cares for your opinion and that's okay. So stop trying to force people to listen to it.

 

[Townsperson]

You can't force us to use a cfw if you don't think its good. Nobody gives a shit about your opinion anyways

I would agree with this sentiment, but seriously, rxTools is crap (Excluding the new version being worked on, which is most definitely an exception, considering the large development gap. Most people complaining about rxTools are not using dukes' build, and switching to that build or Luma is essentially the same amount of work). If you're using rxTools because "it works", and then decide to post about something not working as intended, you're an idiot. Switch to something that is supported before you ask someone to help. No one cares about deprecated software, and if you choose to use it, you're accepting the responsibility of solving your own issues.

Yes but there are still some of the community that will answer rxtools questions. At least this isn't like Palantine cfw (which is dead at this point)

 

[ihaveahax]

the future 11.1 or something that makes Home Menu/ErrDisp/something important require newer 2.51-X FIRM might push lots of people off of the old rxTools and onto another cfw (Luma3DS mostly probably?). or at least duke_srg's rxTools because it's at least getting updated. until then, people are still going to use it for a while.

 

[DKB]

Yeah, and then after they answer your question they'll say: "But you should switch to Luma." I know people still use RxTools, whatever. But, I don't think it's the best idea to be using a dying CFW just because someone is too lazy to switch over.

But, calling someone "stupid" or a "noob" because someone don't want switch over CFW's is just an asshole.

 

[RepeatingDigits]

I agree. A9LH + Luma is clearly the way to go, and gives you complete brick protection, to top it all off.
RxTools is just garbage at this point.

 

[Lumince]

You know theres this thing called ignoring those threads with people asking questions after being confused and not knowing where to search or what to search. If you don't like rxtools then ignore it. And if you dont like noobs, you can kindly ask them to try to use something newer. But telling them no will make them use it more.

 

[jerrmy12]

I see no reason why people who have everything already set up how they want it would need to change. Sure RxTools doesnt have all the features as Cakes and Luma, but it does what I want it to and it doesnt give me any problems. If I have an issue that I cant find the answer to, then I'll change. This thread should be aimed at people who are just starting with CFW, not people who are already on it

Grampa, please leave

"It just werks"

Thanks for the compliment

That's not how it works.

I bet they still use MSET
"dont fix wut aint broek"
am i right guys?

Unfortunately.

True, but at the very least, you can't expect a quick solution. Most people have moved to things that are supported, so when you get people complaining about "H&S injection not working through rxTools" or "I can't find firmware.bin" or (the best) "How do I setup X version of rxTools" (Since every damn version required a different setup...), the best answer is usually "Stop using rxTools".

It's like using Windows 98 (Or XP, but I did love myself some Windows 98) in 2016. It works, and it is actually stable as shit, but seriously, just upgrade. For every 10 people using Windows 98, there's a few thousand using Windows 10. You might not like it, but it's where the support is.
