Hacking What is with the CFW Wars?

It already can be reset on a 3ds, go into CTRXplorer or 3DShell and delete config.bin. Boom, reset

So how about adding a 'delete config' to the Luma settings then? So this can all be done on a 3DS?

I believe your perception of confusing end users is off. I highly doubt this setting would affect anything, other than give the user more choice.

Not happening. It can already be done all on a 3DS, use CTRXplorer, GodMode9, 3DShell, whatever. There is no extra "choice" added, the result from setting an impossible menu combo is exactly the same as adding a menu toggle. There is literally zero difference between it "listening for the combo" and not, no consequence, no nothing.

B-but muh 1 CPU cycle!

I guess I should've specified that the 'delete settings' was a joke.

And again just to be clear, this was about adding an option to the Select-on-boot Luma config menu. Not adding a setting to the Rosalina L+Sel+Down menu.

I'll request a thread lock. This is ludicrous.

I apologize for subjecting any and all sane people involved into this debate

 

[8BitWalugi]

I'll request a thread lock. This is ludicrous.

What's ludicrous is the amount of backlash I've received about adding a small menu item. God damn.

 

[Bullseye]

Eh, I admit I went a bit overboard there. Had a long day and have already seen too many threads like this and was a bit more harsh than I should have been.

Being harsh is nothing compared to being "Destroyer of Civilization". Don't be so humble. XD

It's good to know that simply asking for a single option, I'm now being attacked. It really shows you care about your users.

If you have no plans to introduce an ability to disable Rosalina, that's fine, and that's all you had to say. As I said, I'll be gladly sticking with Luma 7.1 until I have a reason to switch.

I laughed when you said that he cares about his users. As if these users you are speaking about have payed any of the developers of luma (or any other CFW for that matter) for their work and the things they have added/keep adding. If you pay I can understand asking them for something in return. But if you aren't paying then you can ask for stuff to be done, not impose.

Also, as how I see it, in the same way people claim some members or the developers of Luma are "forcing down the throat" to use that CFW, some people are "forcing" -blackmailing, or being ungrateful for FREE stuff- developers to add or remove features they might want or don't want.

Edit: Just so I'm clear, and this all hasn't been a misunderstanding, I mean adding a toggleable option to the Luma 3DS settings. The menu that opens when holding Select on boot.

Go hangout on the Nintendo Homebrew Discord, read r/3dshacks help channel, watch people struggle to just download Luma, to struggle to (somehow) open Rosalina, and struggle to even access HBL using it, Luma3DS is supposed to be "Noob Proof" we don't need yet another thing that people cant understandand and argue about when trying to actually help people. You are asking for a feature, that already exists, to be re-implemented into a 2nd layer of pointlessness to make those same users struggle even more then they already do just to use the basic features of Luma.

This "reset config" makes a bit more sense, but i still think that'll not be implemented

that actually sounds like a good idea, the developers could add an option in the luma configuration menu to "reset all default settings".

Pointless, the same is accomplished by removing or renaming config.bin. I'd understand if there were a lot of complex menu options, but there's only a few.

That's not why you're receiving backlash..

 

[8BitWalugi]

Oh I'm well aware. I didn't think that suggesting one of the many useful features of Luma have a setting to be disabled would deal such a blow to the dev's confidence that this backlash would happen.

but whhhhyyyyyy?? I want to have a choice. LOL, jk.

You didn't deliver a blow to anyone's confidence, get over yourself.

Get over yourself m8. You yourself said it'd be a sub-5 minute job.

That could potentially confuse users in order to psychologically jerk you off, no thanks.

Wow, you're really cocky.

Potentially is the keyword. I'm certain it'd confuse no one.

Sure you'd have to get Plailect on the line to add another line to his Luma Config step, or hell maybe even not. But I really doubt it'd confuse anyone.

Wow, you're really cocky.

It's been an hour an a half. More even.
