Homebrew [PSA] WHAT IS HAPPENING: A debriefing on what the current events are and why

[thatbooisaspy]

GOD DAMNIT NO. DELETE YOUR POST NOW BEFORE ANYONE REALIZES IT AND TRIES TO DOWNGRADE AGAIN.

No version of sysupdater exists yet to take use of this new function yet, stay calm until someone decides to use it.

But when it does, get inside a bunker or something.

 

[Substance12]

wow nice stealing my fucking siggy >::

Hey it's kinda funny, plus i'm sick of devs that won't give out precompiled versions when their code has a thousand dependencies and requires you to use Gentoo or whatever

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I give it an hour.

 

[dark_samus3]

That's why closed-source before release is better, sorry open-source fans

I'm an open source fan and agree 100% as long as the source is released eventually

 

[Sun_Spirit]

I only want DSI Flipnote on 3DS so waiting isnt so bad sense I have my DSI with me X3

 

[DigitalJosee]

I give it an hour.

1 hours? Count 30min from now

I give it an hour.

Give it less than that, all it is a function that's easy to actually use, just give it a title id.

In the sysupdater repo, there's a file that handles installing cia's, theoretically you can just check if the mediatype == NAND, and just use the InstallFirm function instead of StartCiaInstall. Take my word as a grain of salt, I might be entirely wrong but that's my take on it.

Nice, someone in reddit bricked their 2DS trying to downgrade...

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

So now JustPingo can finish his downgrader, and after that we just need a stable version of memchunkhax2. This shouldn't take more than a day or two...

 

[foreveryang]

clarify

deez nuts

OH GOD WE'RE SCREWED. BRICKS INCOMING.

I don't even know what use would KernelTimeMachine bring over sysupdater. It looks more trouble than it's worth.

I'll see about compiling sysupdater now.

Basically just throws more safety checks, like a checksum. Less brick risk. Does the same thing though.

The purpose of kerneltimemachine is to be noob-friendly and safe.

Also... don't compile. You'll doom us all.

Uh oh...

 

[DjoeN]

Anyway, the devs can learn from the ppl who bricked and reports back usefull info about it!

 

[william341]

No, people are hyping about installing legit .cias (which is possible yet unreliable), they stopped hyping about the downgrader some hours ago when we discovered that using sysupdater didn't downgrade FIRM.

Which is why we are waiting for JustPingo's KTM.

someone WITH A HARDMOD should try compiling and running this, just to see if it's as bad as feared.

 

[Kioku]

Even now people are stalking the git... No games to play or friends to visit?

 

[foreveryang]

wait what

What's the difference? People without hardmod will think it's done and will try to run it...

 

[DjoeN]

Even most ppl with hardmods are smarter, and stay away from any downgrader atm!
