Overflowing the refcount of the hax KSemaphore takes longer than expected

[quizque]

My friend thought it was a good idea to build and run it for fun so I build it for him and he ran it. The thing is, it's been over 1 1/2 hours and it's still not done.

He's not a New 3DS and we shut the 3DS down at 00a1000(he thinks, can't remember)

[codeHusky]

It really depends on where you start. Just give it a while to run.

[Mrrraou]

shouldn't take this long. entrypoint used ?

[quizque]

Steelhax was used as the entry point.

[Mrrraou]

hm... that's curious. is steelhax n3ds-enhanced ? at which speed is the hbl menu running ? (it is fast and smooth on n3ds, slow on o3ds)

[quizque]

It's running at the new clock speed(That being the HBL)

[Mrrraou]

weird. dunno what could cause the issue, the only tip i can give you is to try again. and make sure you're not 11.2

[quizque]

Not on 11.2 and currently running it this time with a timer. It says 7 minuts left but it's at 00c50000

[Mrrraou]

just wait for refcount to be 0xffffffff
the left value is the left amount of calls to do

[quizque]

So it worked but took longer then I thought.

[Mrrraou]

but it did work. how long did it take ?

[quizque]

One hour and about 25 minutes.

[Mrrraou]

weird thing. thanks for the report, i'll see if some other people have this issue too.

[quizque]

-Title edited as for this is now an issue

Also no problem, I'm just getting hyped so I can start working in my homebrew game again(Once A9LH is installed).

[Mrrraou]

just use this and stuff http://gbatemp.net/threads/working-dsiwarehax-installer-with-waithax-slowhax.452780/

[quizque]

Yeah I saw that, but I'm not trying to get to cocky.

[quizque]

I ran the DSi hoax installer and now have an accurate time for it.
It took 1:09:29.06

[Mrrraou]

that means it runs with o3ds speed

[quizque]

So the higher clock speed has not been implemented yet or is it a glitch?

[Mrrraou]

it's a bug

[codeHusky]

Also took approx 1 hour 30 minutes on the n3ds, maybe even two hours.

[Mrrraou]

i seriously doubt it would take that long. entrypoint ?

[codeHusky]

ninjhax 2.0

[codeHusky]

The 3ds dsiware installer is taking about an hour so far.

[Mrrraou]

i got around 1h10 on o3ds speed and around 23 mins on n3ds

[codeHusky]

What entrypoint are you using? I'm probably gonna finish around 1 hour 10.

[DrHacknik]

The time for the overflow seem to take a long time; and it seems to vary, a lot. I wonder if this can be fixed? Or perhaps improved.

[Mrrraou]

hbl_loader
shouldn't make much of a difference tho

[codeHusky]

Through an already hacked 3ds? I think there might be something with homebrew_launcher or something. I'm using gridlauncher, which might be responsible, but I don't think that quitting out of the downgrade right now would be a good idea.

[LuckyRepo]

Expanding on this I had a little over 1h 40M for it last night. OOT entry running on 11.0 N3DS XL

[Mrrraou]

there's no way it should take this long, though. are you sure about the time ?

[LuckyRepo]

I could be off be 5 minutes but yes took that long. Successful when finished.
