Homebrew Custom game icons tutorial and sharing hub

[Schwotzo]

Hey, I guess I need some help:
I'd tried to run sys-tweak on my Nintendo Switch which is on HOS 14.1.2 and AMS 1.3.2E
I already asked for help in the Switch Pirates Reddit and followed the guide from sodasoba which I found in NXThemes Reddit Thread.
So, after I've tried following the guide, I'm still not able to change the Game-Icons with sys-tweak.
In DeepSea I'm also not able to activate sys-tweak. It says I need to reboot my console and after a reboot it's still not active.
I'm really thankful for any type of help! Thanks in advance : D

Anyone tested sys-tweak for firmware 16 yet?

 

[Schwotzo]

You have sys-tweak running? You can check w/ hekate toolbox (or deep sea toolbox) or better yet, Sysmodules Overlay

Also, do you have a screenshot of where you placed the files?

Hey, got the same Issue. Do you know why I'm not able to see sys-tweak in my Sysmodules Overlay? Im very thankful for any kind of help : D

Did you upgrade to 16.0.0? We’re still pending some bits and bobs.

Upgraded to HOS 16.0.0? No, I haven't. Is there already a new AMS version?

Great! Then you should be able to use the sys-tweak in this thread.

Try turning off all your other sys-mods so we can focus on getting just sys-tweak and icons working.

Is it possible to change to Discord?
I'm new to gbatemp and I'm not really comfortable with the design of it
Switchi#6339 on Discord btw
If you don't want to it's also fine for me

I try to keep problems and solutions here on GBATemp…Discord has a nasty habit of hoarding information and then disappearing later. Plus it may look like I’m here all the time but I’m just popping in and out in between real world things. Talking to me online is sporadic and annoying.

Let me know if you want to keep figuring out why sys-tweak is pt working on your Switch.

Alright, then let's keep it here on GBATemp!
So, what should I do?

We need sys-tweak running before anything else.

You stated that you are on:

14.1.2 and AMS 1.3.2E

This one was “tested & working on 14.1.0/ams1.3.2” so you should download and unzip it onto you SDCard.

Then let’s go through deep-sea and turn it on and see if it works.

Alright, I've put it on my SD Card. This should be it I hope

But after activating it in DeepSea and restarting the console it's still not active.

It’s turned on/off by having a specific file in the flags directory.

Is there a boot2.flag file in the flags directory?

if not, create an empty file called boot2.flag. Make sure you don’t name it boot2.flag.txt

yes, there's a boot2.flag in the flags directory

Great! So how are you determining that it’s not running?

when I'm back in DeepSea sys-tweak is still not active

Edit: Found something in GoldLeaf:
The Folder with the sys-tweak files inside is not listet as an Folder I guess... Could this be the problem?

 

[binkinator]

when I'm back in DeepSea sys-tweak is still not active

OK, I just installed DeepSea Toolbox and my screen looks like this:



Yours does not say On?

You have everything else Off, correct?

Ding ding ding! THANK YOU!

Are you on a Mac?

Regardless, you need to go into Hekate -> Tools -> Arch bit and then tap Fix Archive Bit



then reboot!

Alright, hopefully we found the problem then!
No, I'm on Windows, why'd you asking? : D
