Hacking Will arm9 ever work without a SDcard?

[Supster131]

yeah this thread was done pretty much after the first page,
Q : "is this possible"
A : "yes but it isnt really a urgent feature and dev's are busy working on other stuff"


everything else really was just smarmyness which imho was unwarranted, maybe if the thread was "can i play ps4 gamez on mah 3Ds pl0x" but this in my opinion while being a relatively useless feature in the grand scheme of things isn't totally without reason, its not like the OP just came out with "WTF WHY THE DEVS IDIOTS NOT FIX IT "

He kind of did..

it makes the hack seem sloppy

If he think it's sloppy, then he can fix the issue himself.

tbh it does make the hack seem sloppy, sure it may be a exquisite masterpiece of hacking, but for a end user a bricked system unless you have a specific SD inserted would surely seem like a bit of a oversight, i dont think he was trying to say the hack itself is sloppy just that no failsafe mode or at least a "insert SD with files to the system" does seem a bit unpolished, ofc polish is a unnecessary luxury, but it makes the final product look that much more cared for even if under the hood its 100% identical

All OP said is that it wa holding him back from installing it. (Which was what people are getting mad about, if you don't like it don't install it. Thank you, Captain Obvious)
Then immediately people left posts blaming OP for not having an SD and other sarcastic remarks. Then he simply says it makes the hack seem sloppy, and everyone loses their minds.

I think the end user will have a Sd card and can put a couple of files.

It is not rocket science

Not really, we answered his question on the first page, but he wouldn't accept that as an answer and he kept beating around the bush. It could have ended on the first page, but he decided to continue it for no reason.
He started to fuck around, so that means he didn't take this serious anymore.

Also @Just Passing By already stated:

If you don't like it, don't use it.

Yet you guys were shitting on him as well? Hypocrites.

He didn't even reply on the first two pages, so stop.

Tbh, im fine with everyone using what they want. But when I say something like "a9lh master race". I say it jokingly. Ik that cant be seen on a computer screen. But im just implying that i really prefer this. I just get pissed off and carried away when some one is just like "I hate your method so mines way better". Yes its an opinion, but not everyone wants to hear it. I'm not saying I don't do that, but I try my best to only argue when someone shoves everyone aside to say. "(Insert your hax here) is better." No ones perfect, and we all can get carried away with egos or opinions, but it seems like the time to just agree that If so and so wants to use menuhax and his buddy prefers using a9lh and wants to take that chance to install it, Let them both do as they please. This is a forum about Nintendo things for god sake. YES, people want questions answered. People will have questions. Not to annoy people (usually), but to understand something more and see the cons and pros of it. To see if its worth using to them and their wants/needs for this console. Theres my opinion. Go ahead and yell at me

 

[funnystory]

This is the first thread I know of that said anything about this topic. And it's not complaining about it either. Everyone is just complaining about OP.

Exactly, I am not complaining about a9lLH I am glad there are developers that put their free time into developing hacks for the community to use. I am saddened by the state the forum is currently in and the fact that we tolerate rudeness from other members. Sadly,I have become jaded by now and have come to terms with the fact that everytime I ask a question I will get smart aleck remarks/rudeness. What is unfortunate is that members abstain from asking questions due to fear of harassment,and they end up with 200$ paper weights.

although I still don't really get the purpose of booting the system without an SD card in it, i'd think to redirect the booting from the SD card over to the sysNAND wouldn't be trivial, as you'd have to basically decrypt the sysnand, read a file from it, and then launch whatever. As far as the point about the system being effectively bricked without an SD card, I guess that's true, however the same holds true if your internal system memory ends up corrupted as well. The SD card thing is significantly easier to recover from though.

Ok, I guess the question everyone should ask now, is this one:

Interesting question. I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to flash the payload somewhere in the nand. That way, no need of a sd card to boot.

If a method is made for this, we could boot without an SD card.

Sorry for some of the replies the other day.

Correct, although you'd still have to effectively decrypt the nand to boot the file...this would likely increase the boot time, which is at least one of the primary reasons of using this as opposed to the other hacks out there. Also, you'd have to flash whatever you'd care to boot to the nand as well, even further eating into your already limited space. Realistically, I don't see much use for this personally.

true. but assuming that this could be done, not only we get coldboot custom code loading, recovery mode, CFW (if the files could fit somewhere in the NAND) without a SD card, if it fails for any reason.

Although, all of this is just pure speculations.

The only difference is that you're changing whrre the payload is loaded from.

Yeah, you'd still need the CFW files, which would be on the SD card.
