ninfs VS v

If it was ever jailbroken, check your backups and SD card for files named movable.sed or essential.exefs (which contains a copy of movable.sed). If you can get the console to boot just far enough to load Godmode9, you can obtain this. (Even with broken screens -- you just need another console to play along on or someone writing down the button sequence because you're flying blind.) Either of these files can be used to decrypt the saves stored on the SD card using ninfs.

If you have the movable.sed file from your old 3DS (or essential.exefs, which contains this), then you can use ninfs

Python programs are not real programs

Thank you so much for the info. As you said, I got the same answer on discord but at least I can try to figure out my nand backup with ihaveamac/ninfs

You can try ninfs but since the NAND is encrypted, it requires that you have dumped your boot9.bin as well.

You can find movable.sed at bytes 0x600-0x73F in essential.exefs. It’s also contained at 0x800-0x93F in a GodMode9 NAND backup if you have one. With this, you can use ninfs to browse the decrypted SD contents and back up your games and saves (you will need the file boot9.bin, which you might have backed up as _boot9_##.bin, but it’s the same for all systems so you can back it up from another 3DS if needed). I think ninfs can also open essential.exefs and get movable.sed for you. You can also use ninfs to browse a NAND backup.

Alright, so I've clearly got an extremely thick skull and when I was trying to decrypt a .3ds file, the decryption tool (https://github.com/ihaveamac/ninfs/releases) somehow made a new drive on my computer, which I am now stuck with... Does anyone know how to get rid of it?

ninfs works pretty well, on Windows you'll also need OSFMount to mount the disk images.

You can use ninfs to mount .3DS and dump romfs.bin on your PC. https://github.com/ihaveamac/ninfs

Their site is clearly showing the language is in beta. The V documentation also states that autofree is WIP, and to use the GC instead. This isn't a corporate created language, but looks to be a true volunteer open source effort from people around the world.

Their community, in comparison to others, even has their discussions open and open threads for criticism[1]. These

V also has this https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/doc/docs.md#embed_fil...

Goroutines was the selling point for me until they decided to introduce telemetry in their toolchain; that was what forced me to stop using Golang as a whole.

About GC, I would say: if you implement C++'s RAII mechanism to replace garbage collection, then I believe this project will have a bright future.

My final question is the following: how `pcz` compares to V language, from a syntax's perspective [1]?

V has the right to exist, have its supporters, and do things its own way. The creator and developers of V, from what I have seen, has always responded well to constructive criticism. Their language has discussions opened at their GitHub, unlike those for various other languages. They even have a thread for what people don't like and want improved about the language[1], again, something many other languages don't have.

A lot of what was going on initially, was coming from obvious competitors, to include being uncivil, inflammatory, and insulting. The initial "criticism" was not so much that, but false accusations of the language being a scam, vaporware, fraud, or didn't really exist. To include attacks and jealousy about its funding and having supporters. This was not any kind of "valid" criticism, that the creator or contributors of the language could reason about.

The "criticism" never died down, but rather after V was open-sourced and established itself on GitHub. The initial series of false accusations could not stand nor could the support it was getting be stopped. So, the rhetoric and targets shifted to whatever could be found to go after on the newly released alpha version of the language and its new website. In that new mix of what was being thrown at it, there were indeed some very valid criticisms, as can be found with any new language.

Constructive and valid criticism, is not the same as insults, trolling, misinformation, rivalry, or false accusations. There is clearly a difference. It's disingenuous to pretend something from one group is the same as the other, or that the intent behind what is being done is not different.
