Usb support = emumcc (emunand) from usb?

Neither.
The USB title isn't even started that early into the boot process, so it would need a low level implementation and killing the usb services.
If it was possible, don't you think TX would have implemented it by now especially considering they were the first to implement HDD support?

Your logic has no comment?
I had already asked m4xw if emuEMMC could be booted via USB drive and I quoted his response. Also TX are always the one boasting about their exclusive features like .XCI mounting, HDD support, and what used to be EmuNAND so if it could be done, why wouldn't they have done it by now?

Maybe because running EmuNand on an HDD via USB requires a virtual environment like L4T, so it's a Bios job and not a Driver's job?

I mean if you put the effort into it to write a custom driver (for before fs is up) and all the patches for when its up it may be doable but this is barely worth the huge effort this would take.

ahh I see.. your opinion is based on a known biased user's views, which are also extremely outdated.

so back on actual topic.. when are the expectant users going to see USB HDD support?

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

Aw fuck not this.

it's ok mate, ignore it.. as said the commenter is basing their opinion on extremely old information.

remember kids - Just use whichever CFW you like the features of most of all and stop the arguments and ''taking sides'' fanboy wars.

I'll admit I am not proud of that essay I made about TX that day. It was unneeded and caused a lot of bitterness. I'd like people to forget about it (although this is likely going to be a permanent scar on my account).

M4XW himself has said why it can't be done... Horizon can't do shit with USB until long after FS is launched

You could launch a boot usb stack and then hand over to horizon stack once it's running. Essentially like usb support in PC's.

It's a lot of work and I'm not sure that it's a good idea having emunand on a device that will disappear when you undock, but that is different to being impossible.

I'm disappointed in m4xw if he actually claimed it was impossible.

Yup, basically since FS is a KIP, thus launches way before regular sysmodules, like USB. I think @m4xw plans to make a full USB reimpl someday in order to fix this issue.

Meanwhile, my impl will be useful to use USB drives.

If your impl already allows to couple and install NSP / XCI. What does it take to do what Xecuter does?

    I would like a Predator game "Kill Team" it takes place in the Jungle of the first movie, your team is sent to hunt the predator, using current tech drones and a trained team. Set traps use strategy to hunt and trap or kill the predator.

    I went today and looked at a motorcycle someone was selling. I get there and the battery on it was dead, so the guy grabbed a battery charger and hooked it up. He plugged it into the wall, and the motorcycle sparked and started smoking. Come to find out the bike uses a 6 volt battery and the guy had the charger set to 12v. I said sorry to the dude and walked away. I felt bad for him tho.
