Homebrew [Release] Sunshell - A powerfull shell for 3DS

[SomeGamer]

Today i started working on a new version of Sunshell with some bugfix and little adds.

I have a question for all users, do you prefer a static image as background (like it's now) or an animated wave like original Homebrew Menu / CHMM2 ?

My vote goes for animated!

 

[Games&Stuff]

Animated would be cool...

 

[Rinnegatamante]

Adaptation works are near to end. I'll probably release an updated version with very low changes (so still static backgrounds) just to update Sunshell with last lpp-3ds build, some bug-fix and little adds).

Current changelog is this but il will probably be more rich:

- Now an error occur if you try to open Music module with MUSIC folder empty.
- Now Console Info correctly shows Firmware and Kernel builds.
- Now Ninjhax 2 users cannot access to incompatible modules (like FTP Server).
- Now Console Info correctly identify Ninjhax 2 build.
- Removed old pre-build CHMM homebrew.
- Solved some audio disturb effects during JPGV videos with Vorbis audiocodec and OGG audio files playback.
- Huge speedup for the entire homebrew.
- Solved a bug in Main Menu which could cause icon selector to point to a null icon.
- Now Wifi status is correctly recognized (Low connection = 1 bar, Medium connection = 2 bars, Good connection = 3 bars)
- Added possibility to transfer files between SD cards with Filebrowser (Only Ninjhax users). [Filesize must be 20 MB or lower]
- Solved random freezing issues with non Stereo Vorbis video files.
- Solved issue which cause titles parsing losing if you switch between modes in CIA Manager module.
- Solved issue which cause titles parsing losing if an uninstallation is triggered in CIA Manager module.
- Bugfix for screenshots, now bottom screen space borders (left/right) are always black.
- Bugfix for Free Space detection in Console Info module. Now is correctly recognized.
- Bugfix for IP Address detection in Console Info module. Now is correctly recognized.
- Added 3D support for JPGV videos playback.

Any luck with the flickering?

Any luck with the flickering?

It should be solved by updating to new build of lpp-3ds. I'm currently debugging on NH1 but i'll also test 3DS/CIA builds and if they're fine, NH2 should be fine too.

How do I install this? I'm new to homebrew.

 

[Chrisser_75]

what about animated as default (wave) and cutom static?
i prefer the static background, cuz so i'm able to edit it in photoshop

Could add an options menu to switch between static and animated background, but i'll probably add this feature for v.0.4 (I'll release today or tomorrow v.0.3.8).

Flickering issues finally solved on 3DS/CIA and NH2. Thanks to @ihaveamac for his tests on NH2.

To anyone who wants to help me solving a little bug i found in lpp-3ds. It seems JPGV player is a bit de-synchronized (audio and video). Please report me your experience with this player with some information like:

- JPGV encoder settings while creating the JPGV file
- How much video is de-synchronized ( < 500 ms, > 1000ms, > 1500ms)

They can be easily added but i prefer to postpone all these functions after NH2.5 release.

There is no function in this line so you probably installed it wrong.

 

[Shadowxp13]

Idk what i did wrong
Config.sun is at root
And the sun index file is at the default main dir

 

[SomeGamer]

Should I update my Sunshell installer?

Have you edited sun_index.lua or funcs.lua files?

 

[Shadowxp13]

Have you edited sun_index.lua or funcs.lua files?

No, just moved the files to the default directory without modifying anything
