We'll see is the best answer I can give right now.

"When it's ready" is the only appropriate answer to this question.
Approximations only lead to disappointment and abuse targeted at devs if they can't meet the deadline they've given for what ever reason.
This isn't their fulltime job, it's done in their spare time and group members live in a number of different time zones.
For this reason I feel that asking for a release date (even an approximation) is an unreasonable request.
But that's just my point of view, those involved may think differently.
I saw you guys doing timing stuff like all day. Good job!! You totally deserve it after all the work you've done up to this point.
$100? lol
$100 to realign their moral compass, to compromise their integrity.
$100 to risk losing their jobs, to risk potential career opportunities in the future.
$100 to lose the respect of their peers, to lose the trust of their employer.
$100 to risk incurring the wrath of Nintendo, to risk bankruptcy fighting the charges brought against them.
Whatever a dev's reasons for taking an anti-piracy stance, $100 as compensation just won't cut it.
A few pages back a member donated $100 to a dev asking only their name in the credits in return (although it was refunded due to a disagreement).
Another member then donated the full amount needed (~250 Euros I think) for the same dev to buy themselves a Wii U to speed up the progress being made here.
So if you're looking to sway one of these devs to make an ISO loader, you're going to have to increase your offer.
An extra zero or two might make it a little more appealing.
Or how about some more people join in with the same amount, because obviously not everyone here is Bill Gates?
Or even better, you pull out the two extra zeros (and don't forget the one and the two zeros that are already existing), since you made the impression that this is just a small amount for you.
Why would you advise someone to spend more money on the ability to not pay for games than he or she would have paid for games?^^

And congratulations on the progress so far, guys. It's nice to see something interesting every few days. And it still goes on.
PS: Sorry for the double post... That was not supposed to happen.
Yeah, that dev was me. The disagreement was not due to having his name in the credits in return (he would already have it anyway), it was due to some unexplained reasons I couldn't understand.
If an ISO loader shows up, it won't come from donations. There's no point in trying to fund that.
So this is the race attack to initialize all 3 cores of the espresso?Success
inb4 people start asking for release date
If so, any chance you could send me the code (pm is fine). So i can see if i can utilize it for trinux?
It would be much appeciated if you could do that, but if not, i understand
This doesn't have anything to do with vWii, this is a race for getting the kernel exploit to work. Now that it does (and we've fixed consistency issues, it works 13 out of 15 times from my tests), we can focus on building code to do stuff such as dump game files.
The exploit is based on an execution race between all 3 CPU cores. Basically, all of the CPUs are running code and we want to time it such that important code executes at the right time. I can't reveal much more than that right now.
If you run the same instruction many times the time taken to execute it among the cores varies? Or it's more/less fixed timing?
We haven't studied instruction timing that much. What we basically did was find reasonable times for different code sequences, and test them out through a nice side-channel into the kernel's memory.
So you got SMP working in U mode? Its just a matter of getting timing down, if i understood that correctly?
This is exciting <3....
Hykem must be helping you with running code on the starbuck (for the race attack)
The Wii U hasn't arrived yet. I'm still only helping in writing hypothetical code (later tested by NWPlayer123 and Relys).
Which is totally wild considering how long you've been doing it for.

You can make a post on the DS forum about your findings, and they'll do their best to respond. They have a GBAtemp account here, you know. -

Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
