Hacking XorTroll working on USB HDD Feature

[gizmomelb]

I mean, i think they know, but there would always be people trolling and complaining, its just the way things are. Not all of them are like this tho, so lets not generalize and just use what you want.

Which is the general attitude of most SX OS users with regards to other CFW - use whatever has the features that you want.. .

But these posts are for the special, continuous SX OS trolls who post in every SX OS thread - have some of your own medicine, we're just letting freeware CFW users know there is another solution and it might have the ease of use features they desire, once they know how the features actually work, instead of the FUD which has been posted many times by trolls.

You cant install them on the USB/HDD itself, at least for now. Maybe in the future.

Virtual NSP would be awesome. Maybe once emunand is done it could allow it?

depending on the hooks used, emuNAND as files could possibly be a thing.

Which is all that is required to play XCI files Cool, huh?

Not everyone is going to use USBHDD for piracy...
And it's good in general there's gonna be support for USBHDD open sourced which enables even more possibilities for developing new Homebrew apps and extending the features of existing ones.

Would be a godsend for video players surely.

I used it to watch some 720p mkv when I was on holiday, as well as have lots of ISOs for retroarch.. all running under SX OS natively. So it'll be a nice add-on when atmosphere users get it.. then they may finally ''get it'' as to why some people have bought SX OS - the ease of use and extra features when no other CFW had them.

Will it ever load XCIs?

again now come all features from SX OS which existed since Version 1.0 to Atmosphere... congratulations!

3/10 uninspired and derivative, try much harder.

Would it ever be possible to load USB nsps? I dont mean install FROM usb ,i mean install IN the USB? I guess its imposible right?

This is unlikely.

Well it's a Linux based OS so you can probably symlink the "Nintendo" folder to a folder on the USB HDD when docked. Then remove the symlink when undocked.

So you mean we will finally be able to install our titles on a USB flash drive or a hard drive?

If so do you think there is a way for it to show up in the settings up under data management? Instead of going into another less polished app to check your capacities?

Wat. Horizon is not linux based

 

[eoinzy]

Oh OK. I thought it was linux/Unix or FreeBSD or something, so could do symlinks.

I think it uses some internet crap or something from freebsd ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. But Horizon Switch is a custom OS partially based on Horizon 3ds

It would need patches to the OS. I haven't seen any devs talk about being interested in doing it so far.

Switch Horizon uses the freeBSD network stack and it's a rewrite of the 3DS Horizon

Still don't get why people think "USB drive support but no XCI loading or NSP installing there = pointless, why would you do that"

1. - Support up to 3 extra devices, appart from SD
2. - Plug and un-plug without worrying about a reboot nag
3. - The opportunity to use proper exFAT drivers and care way less about filesystem corruptions
4. - Without having to turn off your console: plug on PC, copy files, unplug, plug in dock, do whatever you wanted to do

And NSP installing there (to USB, not from USB) won't probably be a thing ever since would require a lot of work on FS.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Also, not to mention having to carry big NSPs or lots of ROMs for RetroArch...

Still dreaming for something like WBFS manager where I was able to make a WBFS partition on my HDD and store all the games I wanted, but hey, this one is actually really great. If I can keep the dock plugged to my PC, I'll use it, it will be way more convenient
