Hacking What is with the CFW Wars?

[1x7]

Fortunately for you, this feature already exists in Luma3DS! Here's instructions on how to use it!

1. To ENABLE the menu, press L+SELECT+DOWN
2. To DISABLE the menu, press B when the menu is ENABLED
3. The key combination to ENABLE to menu can be configured easily.

What an amazing feature! :eyes:

Fuck it one more

Remap =/= Disable

To answer OP, the reason CFW wars exist is because no one can have a civil discussion or suggest an idea without elitist devs shooting down suggestions.

you made your suggestion and exposed your reason, the developers told you why they wouldn't implement it. if you thought the developers would agree with you no matter what you said, you are wrong.

I'm actually done now. I've been at this for two whole hours. It's 5am where I live. I don't need to be doing this now.

It still wouldn't truly be disabled, it would just be hidden, exactly like if you remapped the buttons to something else, I am not sure why this idea hasn't stuck yet.

One hour since my last post, 5 more pages, same stupid debate about a toggle for Rosalina. What the fuck? And no lie, reading it before was making my head hurt, so I stepped away, and I'll do it again because I value my head.

Altough Luma has its merit among the competition, it's still...unpolished. There are some issues that pick on my nerves, yet, compared to the past, it's safer, has more features that I can use (and did), and it raises an easier sense of freedom (Easier to install and acces than som other CFW). Lack of competition (I've seen other CFW that do a better job than Luma in some fields) can be a bit unhealthy for Luma as well.

I actually came here to calmly explain why I won't add it, like 3 times. Can't see how that's elitist.
Now you either accept my decision or learn C and change it yourself.

I was bored guys. I've never touched Luma's source, 3DS homebrew, or C itself for that matter. This thread made me want to see if I could figure out how to add a meaningless option, compile the code, and upload it.

The answer is yes, I can.

Get your useless option here.

Wish someone makes a luma version specially designed for ME ! and only for ME!!!!

Don't use it then, it's not that bad

I might be too dumb not to trigger that nefarious Rosalina Menu accidentally, seems it pops up at the slightest provocation!!

All this free stuff makes me really sad, I better go online and complain about it.

yep it's FREE, Maybe if @Aurora Wright charged a small fee, I could get my very own Luma3ds!!!

If you want a feature, implement it. No one is entitled to any developer serving their every want and whim, regardless of how prominent they might be.

OUCH ! THAT IS TRUE, maybe i'd better enjoy the free ride and stop bitching about every thing that """bothers""" ME

Same goes for my previous comments. I got upset and let that get too real for me. I wasn't thinking and instead just became a bitch because I was upset over a lot of shit. I let myself get the better of myself. I let what was normally small gripes become the big issue. I can get emotional over stupid stuff because I care way more than I should about these kinds of things.
Simply put, to err is to human. I got myself into this mess by allowing myself to give into my own darkness. Coupled with the reality that I let a joke become something serious. Now we are in a mess that I honestly wish I never started and let drop before it got to nearly the 24 hour mark.
I am sorry guys. I said things I shouldn't have said, I did things I shouldn't done, and I let myself become my own worst enemy.

AMEN!

I do think that this marks the end point of this thread. Debating about what CFW is better or anything like that is pointless. As it was said before, and like I've said, all opinions are different : some like it complex and some like it simple. And there's a CFW for everyone ! You like it simple ? Go for Cakes, reiNAND, and Luma. You like it more complex ? Well stick out to Corbenik. Now debating about it results to a total mess, chaos and sometimes shitposting. See how it was ? Even Aurora needed to defend her cause about creating Luma, and how is it developed. And if you don't like it, you are free to not use it. But please, do not spread your hate from it. This is a public place, and there are limits. Thanks.

To be quite honest, I'm here a lot and in the past few months this is really the only thing I've seen in terms of CFW wars being mentioned. I've said it before, if Luma remains one of the only CFW that is compatible with B9S you can't blame Luma. It's a "freemium"project just like all the other CFW are for the most part. Blame the devs of others for not either implementing B9S compatibility, abandoning their projects, or being riddled with useless/broken features (Looking at you RXTools).

Like someone else mentioned, the guide suggests Luma because it is (for all intents and purposes) completely noob friendly. It's like the new wave oven, you set it and forget it! The only time you even need to mess with it is when there is an update, and even then it's not always required. Some updates merely add new features or just fix known bugs, it's not always "OMG a new release, let me get it NOW!"

Which brings me to new features. Who cares if a CFW has "too many features"? Just because they are there doesn't mean you HAVE to use them. Where is your self control? If you don't know what it is, don't know what it does and don't know how to use it, then common sense says don't touch it. It's not making your CFW somehow "worse" by having a feature you don't know what to do with. That's like saying Godmode9 is useless because it grants so much access to system files and if you mess around you could brick. So, how about don't be an idiot and mess with things you don't understand.

I have only been here since last March or so, but was a lurker for a while before. I've gone from MSET/Menuhacks with Pasta/RXTools, to ReiNAND, to Cakes, to Aureinand, (to A9LH) To Skeith, and finally Luma (Now B9S) and the process has never been simpler. In my honest opinion, yes most people on the site are complete idiots because they simply refuse to read the information long enough to understand it; if at all. It's pretty telling that when the operation was more complicated there were less mistakes because you had to actually pay attention to what you were doing. Now everything is basically automatic so no one cares to read a damn thing. Do you really need multiple CFW for people to choose from when they can't even follow simple directions like "Place boot.firm on the root of your SD card."? How many new threads a day are there with the title, "Bricked! Blue light comes on and goes right off!"

There should really only be one go to CFW for the masses/newcomers. Things become a lot easier to maintain when they are uniform versus every other person here having 15 different types of setups. Good luck getting help that way. Not to mention there are tons of butthurt devs around here for whatever reason. The drama is always real, but more often than not it only takes one person to cause talented people to jump ship. To me, that says more about the psyche/mentality of the developer more so than it does the aggressive user. If half these amazing people learned how to use the ignore button, there would be a lot more options out there for experienced users. As it is right now, I don't see any other CFW making consistent commits like Luma does. It deserves it's spot in the limelight. Take it or leave it.

 

[HamBone41801]

Then sorry but I exclude changing stuff based on psychological relief... (and only one user feeling confused seeing a toggle and asking themselves if they need it enabled or not turns the total balance of this feature from "pointless" to "detrimental")
Please understand™

Please understand that I don't feel the same way about luma. I use all its features so I'm fine with it like it is. Just trying to help explain stuff.

Everyone get all their debating out? Okay cool. Time to end this.
