here is a silly question that stems the recent “consilozed” switches people have been trying to make

They all seem to be having a similar issue in that they still need a screen of some sort if they want to do anything with Hekate

Well my question is, could hekate be modified to allow control over usb? Could than just load up something like Putty maybe and just do any configuration through there.

Nop, the early stage of boot where Hekate run is very limited not only on resources but hardware access so if you want something like a network socks, you will need to write everything from driver to hardware to stack for network, for any hekate or console modification you could use the UMS mode and setup anything on your SD Card.

It would be nice if we could have access to hekate when the console is docked. And you can't navigate via bluetooth in the rcm, but wired should work. Is this possible? @CTCaer

Docked won’t work cause it needs drivers

Hmm gotcha I figured since it had enough access to go into UMS mode it would have enough to do its usual tasks as well, just by receiving commands over UMS jnstead

Thanks for explaining a bit more :)

The problem is RCM Mode have implemented USB Acces already on it but no network stack. :D

Hmm I think maybe I worded things wrong or maybe I’m just that stoned (sorry if I am)

But why is a network stack needed to send commands over that USB access? Do you need networking to tell hekate to start fix the archive bit if the SD card or maybe even format the SD card for emunand/android ?

Network stack would just be nice if you wanted to do stuff over bluetooth/send network commands. (With PuTTY as you mentioned) UMS works by mounting the sd card, and because we're so limited I don't think much can be done while UMS is running.

Hello I installed Hekate 6.0.7 and Nyx 1.5.6 correctly and it works.
But everytime I reboot I got this message :

HEKATE ALERT.jpg


I did drag n drop bootloader 6.0.7 folder into my sd card root and hit the ''merge/replace'' button as recommended.
I don't get what I missed.
Ty for your help

You need to remove old bootloader and copy in the new. Some old files are still there that it doesn't like.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Kodi repost are still pretty popular
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @BigOnYa, Lol I bought a new USB card reader thing on AliExpress last month for I think like 87 cents. Free shipping from China... It arrived it works and honestly I don't understand how it was so cheap.

    would you rather have a 9-5 desk job with poor pay or work for an intergalactic space militia with no guarantee of being paid?
