Applet Mode #285

Is there any difference between running dbi in Applet Mode and in FULL MEMORY? Is FULL MEMORY mode faster for data transfer? THX.

EvilPanda666 commented 10 months ago

Good question. It doesn't appear to need the extra memory to function fully.

Some features greatly benefit from it though, like file transfer and package installation

So you recommend FULL MEMORY mode when installing packages?

Just use full memory by default for homebrew unless specifically told otherwise. Applet mode is, was, and always will be a stopgap fix.

I always install packages in Applet Mode only and it has never failed. I just wanted to know if FULL MEMORY mode will speed up the install. If not, there is no reason to use FULL MEMORY mode...

The .nsz files are compressed and while being descompressed stored in RAM… If you got one big file it will return error on applet mode. I intend to do a PR about this.

Despite not being typical, dbi's developer always said dbi was designed to be used in applet mode actually.

I actually spoke with him on telegram to give this affirmation...

Interesting, my largest install was 'EA Sports FC 24 [0100BDB01A0E6800][v393216] (20.87 GB).nsz' and it went wel in applet mode only. Not to criticize anyone but simply curious when issues would arise when using DBI in applet mode (the limited mode).

DBI is work fine in both modes, but in some cases there can be issues with low memory on NSZ/XCZ unpacking when Applet mode
