::::I Agree. it's imprtant that the format would be GPL because otherwise we will be called outlaws...the Wii's homebrew channel clearly was legal. We need to use a wrapper structure (like the CXI) to have an icon, 3d model (based on an existing one) & data (elf binary file). we can add stuff like structure version for future extensions... --[[User:Elisherer|Elisherer]] 08:30, 12 September 2011 (CEST)

:::::We can't deside that the person who make the first homebrew loader can deside that because if you have a format that nobody can lunch nobody will use it. I think the first will be an elf loader because you can just copy the code for loading the elf and lunching it. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable_and_Linking_Format) --[[User:ichfly|ichfly]]

OK, to summarize the hole thing a bit:
*we have to think about a legal file extension (not .3ds!) and its GPL license
*the homebrew format will have a structure similar to CXI
*elf binary file for the executable area
What about the encryptions made in the CXI file? Will our format encrypted too and what about the model, icon and executable data, are those only file formats like obj /3ds, bmp and elf saved in the homebrew file?
I will start coding the "3ds homebrew tool" soon and publish it on my dropbox folder.
@[[User:ichfly|ichfly]]: The first loader will be sure an elf loader, but for the programmer made this loader it wouldn't be much of work to launch an executble area in the homebrew format (so far it will contain an elf).
