[Draxzelex]

Just what the doctor ordered, another closed-source title installer.

 

[Lacius]

Aren't all of these changes from DZ Tinfoil?

Good to see SX Installer got the update we've been waiting for

 

[TheZander]

Finally those korean translations are being fixed I've been complaining for months

 

[snoofly]

Thanks, all those unaware kids need to be reminded TX still exists and brings money to this lovely website! Nevermind this is essentially a proprietary not-so-tested alternative/shameless copy to a perfectly fine free software.

So, what happens if you've updated normally, from 2.3, onward, over time and are now sitting at 8.whatever? Burnt fuses and such. Does this make downgrading impossible? And if downgrading works, can we do the coldbooting?

Wow, color me impressed!!! This is actually a very cool/desirable feature!

Great job blawar!

Very nice! Stil waiting, on that whole KIP update thing from you guys. So i can finally go back to playing smash with others.

 

[Josshy0125]

So back to my initial question. How does downgrading work for those of us who have burnt fuses? Thank you!

 

[NoNAND]

Frankly i am a little concerned about this newly introduced update/downgrade feature.
They ought to at least provide written information stating about the required fuses to run a given firmare.
"Install any firnware with ease just like you would a NSP" That's a tad misleading and might stir up confusion among those who aren't familiar with these stuff, it would have one believe that downgrading/upgrading is a piece of cake and poses no risks which clearly does.
They should have been more elaborate on that part.


By the by, i like their UI!.

SX Installer is a fork of Tinfoil so he is right in a way...



You'd need a payload like Hekate to bypass the fuse check. You can't unblow fuses.

That's what I was thinking! So I wonder; could it be somehow "another" way this works? They said "with ease", and I'm really a little conflicted right now due to the fact that they decided upon not placing any more information into it. That concerns me a tad.

But you cannot, its impossible i don't want to get technical.
The only way to bypass would be to change the whole switch.

Hm now when you think about it.
They could prevent fuses from getting burnt by autoRCM or something of that manner.

Some people don't want to enable AutoRCM though...
Maybe they replaced the switch bootloader

Interesting. If this is the case, they shouldn't have put it as lackadaisical as they had. I'm curious to see peoples' results from this.
