Talk:Homebrew ABI: Difference between revisions

Line 86:

The only thing I'm working around here is the ASET workaround that needlessly ties homebrew to the SD card. Even if this is a workaround for a debugger, I don't think that's grounds for not belonging in the HBABI. It's not like Nintendo doesn't do anything similar ("Redirect*" commands in lr).

Reusing the same process is the approach selected for nx-hbloader which is the standard way to load homebrew, and I see no reason why they would be labeled as "workarounds". AllocPages and LockRegion were unilaterally added by you several months ago and nx-hbloader has no use for them. OverrideService and AppletWorkaround are not presently used by anything and they were mostly added for future-proofing in case we need to support a more restrictive environment where we need to pass stolen service handles, they don't exist for "legacy" exploits.

I see no reason to add a romfs override key. If we want to support non-SD card paths, we will add other device name prefixes to argv[0] (such as host:/) and add support for these devices in libnx.
