but would this still need reboot to launch games?
Not anymore with the sdfiles attached to my post.
It's just a build which includes the nx-hbloader compiled with latest libnx which fixes that issue (none of my work, I just compiled it).

EDIT: Use this one instead!

Ok some dumb questions

What's the actual difference between your version of hekate and nwert's version - both masters are currently identical - is yours simply a pre compiled binary for peoples convenience ?
What is ipl, its a folder inside the github dir with a bunch of C++ files - it looks to me like some sort of BIOS/basic operating system to get the devices hardware up and running allowing you to then run more software ?

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

EDIT:

Ok I think I've answered my own question here - IPL (initial program loader) openqnx[.]com/phpbbforum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=8266
Also I found this very interesting and explains why we are doing this in the first place.

stackoverflow[.]com/questions/6139952/what-is-the-booting-process-for-arm
stackoverflow[.]com/questions/15548004/why-do-we-need-a-bootloader-in-an-embedded-device

ok so my next question - what's the difference between a bootloader and IPL and is hekate one or the other or both ?

All of the homebrews I checked out are working great on 5.1.0 with your latest release, games are even loading after running homebrew with out reboot

Sleep mode works, I tried it in many different ways, like loading a game,entering sleep mode, exiting game, load homebrew, enter sleep mode, ect.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
