Over 2 years ago, I wrote a batch script that automated the process of installing kernels onto R4i(-)SDHC flashcarts.
Recently, I grabbed my old 3DS to mess with it, and decided to do something with my flashcart (an R4iSDHC cart). I decided to port the downloader to a shell script I can run on my main PC (which runs Ubuntu).
I actually just completed the script, and plan to post it in the downloads page soon, alongside a new version of the batch script (I need to update the download links for the stock kernels).
I also discovered a port of the Wood kernel that someone made for the DSTT and its clones (what the tool's target carts are), which I added to the shell script (and will add it to the new batch script), and plan to test after I post this thread (I'll edit my post to mention whether it works or not afterward). Both will still be able to install the stock kernels and YSMenu.

EDIT: As I mentioned above, I just tested Wood and it ran. Yay!

Strike all of the stuff about the Wood port. Turns out none of the ROMs I have work with it. Because of this, I've decided to scrap it. I have just stripped out the Wood option in the shell script.

A bit of an update regarding the downloader: Last night, I made the required patches to the batch script and the new version, along with the *nix script, are now live.

    Easy to install on arch and debian in my experience at least. And fortunatley nvidia is moving to open source drivers on linux now (doesn't make them suck any less)

    @ZucchiniMaiden, I've noticed, had a headache and came down with the cold few weeks ago. Getting to that time of year.

    God I've been saying for like the past 6 months that I need a haircut and still haven't gotten one
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My hair is a mess
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    But I want a longer-ish style I think, since I've grown my hair out, and I've never gotten a longer style haircut

    I've given up on the longer style, as it Never came out right for me. So I went the other way. Mullet style, and.. I'm sorta ok with it. :)

    I have to confess I use stremio without debrid services bc using them requires you to spend money and you know we can't spend money online in my country
