Closes #2

[AlenoxNoEnd]

thank you very much

well, don't you think it's kinda pointless remembering that you just need to put very small effort to push a button ?.

imo.

The question you should make is the other way around.
Why make my users obligated to press a button if I can make it automatic?

im totally agree, i have implemented automatic hen on my local machine also.
but we don't know what is the roadmap yet for this project.

as example, there's no way for us to inject external exploit (like listening port, etc). and because of that, users will need to burn new disc in order when the update released.

maybe, devs will add new event button like "Press R1 to start listening port" and we can inject exploit from that port. we don't know.

and i think, if you wanna make an automatic process, it's better to save as file like "autohen.txt" with name of the exploit in it like poops/lapse.
when we start the bd, it'll detect and try to read that file, if it's exists and valid, start autohen with tahe name in it.

when you don't need the autohen, just press and hold button like R1 when opening the bd, if so.
the choices appear.

The automatic loader still gives you option to press buttons btw. So any other shortcut might as well be implemented. Bioses, bootloaders, grub, a LOT of software works that way with a autoselection if you press nothing. Would anyone say grub or computer bioses are limited by that feature? I don't think so.

okay, i got what you mean, sorry my bad.

i forgot that you just add a timeout for automatic select. so yeah, maybe your PR will be merged. upvote.

I suggest, like the initial issue to autoselect poopsploit instantly for v12.50-12.52, since it's the only available exploit there, and the timeout should only be for the lower versions. I think it makes more sense this way

That might sound better, but as I initially thought and cleverly @dickymuliafiqri pointed out already: being able to choose what you want to do is a feature, even when for now there is only one option.
Other buttons I can think of are force-restore payload and reset goldhen.ini that can be resourceful for restoring jb if you mess up.

So I guess a config file with options to select timeout time (0 sec for instantly) and default payload selection is a better alternstive, right?

If you can include an interface to set up this configuration, yes. If the user would need to use a ps4 explorer or ftp to create that file, then no, it is worse.

Yes specially cuz there are 2 options on the disc. Lapse and Poops but only 1 option of goldhen. Add the option to load 18.6 with Lapse.

[lucaslealdev]

@neo305 hey my friend, adding old payloads to the disc is probably not going to get approval.

If there are bugs in the latest goldhen you should report them instead of asking for old goldhen being added into the disc.

For now, you can still change the payload in your hard drive using some ps4 explorer for the version you choose.

Edit: and this has absolutely nothing to do with this pull request

[m2k7m]

using this might be a little helpful

console.println("Auto-selected: " + (lapseSupported ? "Lapse" : "Poops"));

[lucaslealdev]

I was thinking about this becoming more complicated than two options in the future.
But for now I don't think the ternary would be an issue.
Please submit as code suggestion. Use this button:

I thought it would become simpler, one line

Okay mate I'll use "Add a suggestion" button from now on, thank you for your effort.

[lucaslealdev]

Code quality is not measured by number of lines, there are other factors involved. But your suggestion was good.
