Is it possible to access the Switch's file system via PegaSwitch command line or would a file browsing program have to be written first? I ask because the place where saves are stored on the Switch is documented but I don't know how to read from it or write to it. Anybody have any ideas?
I take it I asked a stupid question. Regardless that is no reason to be rude.
Good on you dude, agreed 100%
Take a look at the some of the example javascript files, you will have to get used to/understand return based programming, but the SetRtc example is a good start as it is documented pretty well.
I was looking at the dumpArchives.js Friday and tried creating a modified version of it in order to pull the applets, but unfortunately it isn't as simple as changing the title ID's
The Title ID's for applets are in the 1000's, which throws an error if you incorporate titles that are NOT 8XX based...
I also tried doing something like IDirectory.DirList(), but that isn't a valid command it seems... maybe I am calling it wrong, how do you use the methods in those files? Anybody have any ideas? I tried looking into other scripts but they don't have any good indications.

If I understod it correctly it should be possible to access many files using smhax.
I tried getting a handle for the service which manages the fs permissions(fsp-pr) and use it to give the browser applet full file system access, but after sending the command, one part of the system always seams be crashing.
I think it didn't work because of wrong params, but I'm not completely sure.

That's a good point, I haven't tried using any other service besides the fsp-srv, maybe I could try messing with the permissions for those system applets... I tried to list the directories but I don't think I have the correct command syntax, do you (or anyone else) know how to use the IFile/IFileSystem/IDirectory methods?
Especially the GetDir method...

A prefix of "I" before any object or class denotes that it's an interface, which means you have to create a class that defines its implementation yourself (or wait until an implementation is available)

Thanks for that, I didn't want to make any assumptions about the implementation, this makes a lot more sense now.

I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
