Overflowing the refcount of the hax KSemaphore seems to not be speed up on New3DS in some cases

Open Mrrraou opened this issue 8 years ago • 18 comments

Cause unknown. Needs investigation. Probably linked to #2. Maybe related to the used entrypoint ?

Using both steelhax and oot3dhax on my 11.0 N3DSXL resulted in O3DS speed (approx 1h10m total)

Also 11.0 N3DSXL, US region (doubt that matters). Steelhax resulted in O3DS speed for me as well, all 5 attempts. (I'm having problems getting it to realize I have Legends of Exidia installed.) Stickerhax seems to be taking as long but I'm too lazy to do the math at the moment (just started it.)

I thought about being clever and using HANS to launch the games at N3DS speed, but they hang when loading HBL in that case.

Could you please test this and tell me if it's faster? waithax.zip

Mrrraou avatar Dec 13 '16 16:12 Mrrraou

I'll give it a shot when I get home from work later tonight. I still haven't had any luck with either version of the Hax, but I'll raise a separate issue for that/ask on Reddit/IRC later. On Tue, Dec 13, 2016, 8:14 AM Mrrraou [email protected] wrote:

With the only hax I've noticed that goes more quickly is with homemenuhax, other hax have the o3DS speed.

using the test build ?

Mrrraou avatar Dec 13 '16 19:12 Mrrraou

I have the test file running on N3DS XL US using OOT entry. Will report back when finished.

EDIT: 40Min in and I'm only at "a" count.

And Done: 1H 10M - With test version. If you need anything more info I can provide.

LuckyRepo avatar Dec 13 '16 19:12 LuckyRepo

I'd be happy to test, but at this point I've already used it to switch to AL9H+Luma, so I don't know a) if I even can, or b) if it would be helpful.

If the answer to both is yes, let me know and I'll try it again with OOT as an entrypoint. I'm on 11.2 now, so I know it'll kernel panic once it finishes, but at least I can tell you what speed it ran at.

EleventhOcean avatar Dec 13 '16 20:12 EleventhOcean

@airwa1kin7 system version? @EleventhOcean if you updated to 11.2 well you can't really help me anymore, sorry.

Mrrraou avatar Dec 13 '16 20:12 Mrrraou

@Mrrraou 11.0.0-33u

LuckyRepo avatar Dec 13 '16 20:12 LuckyRepo

New version completed in just under 20min. Same entry point OOT. 11.0.0-33u. Issue fixed.

Average time in lines: 5.24 Seconds

LuckyRepo avatar Dec 13 '16 22:12 LuckyRepo

I use the newest waithax version you posted 30mins ago. Can already tell it still runs at O3DS speed. System: N3DS XL (PKMN Su/Mo ver.); 11.0.0.33; Europe; first try via steelhax, now freakyhax; 32gb SD; got a bunch of stuff on the system, wifi on/off doesn't seem to matter Edit: Stuff was systemtransferred from a O3DS Runs at~16sec/line

SfSuicune avatar Dec 13 '16 22:12 SfSuicune

Tested with both the version above and your new release, still seems to run at O3DS speed.

Also testing using Menuhax since others reported that it got N3DS speed. Still ~15-16 seconds per line.

dewiniaid avatar Dec 14 '16 02:12 dewiniaid

New 3DS 11.0.0-33E. Takes exactly 68 minutes (tried five different times) when using (v*)hax, freakyhax, oot3dhax, or genhax as the entrypoint. No difference between the original waithax release or with the recent update.

xiphiidae avatar Dec 14 '16 07:12 xiphiidae

N3DS 11.1.0.34U here with Ninjhax, it took a bit over an hour to complete as well.

AntonyGarand avatar Dec 14 '16 15:12 AntonyGarand

I'll be on CFW soon, but let me know if you'd like me to cart update to 11.0 (via Pokemon Moon, assuming it has 11.0) rather than online update to 11.2 to help test any fixes.

dewiniaid avatar Dec 14 '16 17:12 dewiniaid

An IRC user (Niklink_ in #Cakey) has reported that they have gotten both o3DS times and n3DS times when running waithax from the same entrypoint, freakyhax. Or, rather, that they have gotten the n3DS time once, and gotten O3DS times most every other time. There is no particular action that could have caused it that they know of.

Having now tried v1.0.2 of waithax with soundhax and the new *hax2.8, I now get N3DS speed. I've only tried waithax with soundhax one time, so it's possible that this was just a fluke for whatever reason.
