Homebrew Discussion Post homebrew ideas, suggestions, requests here

Not sure if you noticed but fgsfdsfgs is the same person that does the switch openmw port. The port you linked is WIP and will most likely be out for switch too, so there is no need to post it here.

The dethrace reverse engineer project is not yet fully done (allthough seems playable?). Seems possible to port

Yeah they're still working on the perfect dark pc port pretty heavily, so no word if they're going to do a switch port, nothing has been said in the discord. Carmageddon has already been ported to other systems so it's pretty complete

any chance to chicken invaders game in PC and Feeding Frenzy PC game come to switch ?

Hey, i had this idea of using a homebrew on switch for Pokemon GO to get the Mystery Box and Coin Bag without needing Pokemon Let's GO or Pokemon Violet/Scarlet.

Just leaving this idea here, i actually dont know if its possible in some way. Would definitely save us memory on the switch.

Is an Ikeman-Go port possible for switch so we can get some portable mugen? Or finally get that Streets of Rage Remake port that the vita got 3 years ago?

Suggesting a port of Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers to Switch.

I have a suggestion for hombrew.

It's similar to SimpleModDownloader and SimpleModManager.

Temporary title are SimpleCheatsDownloader, you launch hombrew app from album and you would see title you have on your Switch, click on title and list of cheats would show and it would work on game since SimpleCheatsDownloader would automatically find right titleID and Build Id for to get cheats to work.

No need to use edizon anymore and cheats would automatically download from Cheats Slips.

Just stumbled on this Steam Link client, it's currently for webOS TVs and Raspberry Pis and uses SDL2, so could be portable to Switch if anyone is game:

Could it be possible to create an homebrew app for Plex? Would be amazing.

I suggest port of The Dark Mod or improving this android release (also supports Quake 4 etc.) - https://github.com/glKarin/com.n0n3m4.diii4a/releases/tag/v1.1.0harmattan51 . Game is open-source and not that graphically demanding (its Doom 3 engine) so it should not be a problem. I am willing to put money towards bounty even.

Since the last Nintendo Switch update removed the Twitter interaction (Thanks Melon Muskito), how about making a Homebrew APP to restore it?

Hey guys, i want to do a little side project and i chose to dev an app for switch :
I thought it could be useful to have an app that can backup games as zip which could then be easily restored and installed .
(something like jksv but for game resources)
Does this already exists ? any suggestions ? thanks in advance

There's already homebrew to dump installed games to nsp. You probably wouldn't gain much advantage from zipping as the contents are encrypted.

Looking for someone to create a toontown rewritten port for the switch. Also looking for people who can possibly reverse engineer some mobile apps. will pay!

 

[TudorBlue]

Good post this and I have a question that I think is valid. How come the shop app on the switch is in Russian? Need one of you switch gods to create an English language version!

I just got a pair of low latency bluetooth earbuds but there is still drastic latency with the Switch's bluetooth connection (200ms to 300ms). I'm curious if this is a hardware limitation or if there is a software solution that is possible? Has that been developed? I saw this thread but don't know if it would solve the problem: https://gbatemp.net/threads/nx-btred-bluetooth-audio.587580/

When I tried connecting headphones to the Switch's bluetooth, I seem to remember having latency that was sometimes better and sometimes worse. The only current solution I'm aware of for absolute minimal latency is using a USB dongle that supports APTX-LL (with headphones that support it too), rather than using the Switch's own bluetooth connection.

So it is hardware limited then... that is what I assumed. So disappointing!

2 Ship 2 Harkinian (Majora's Mask) still needs a Switch port. I think I read that the dev who ported SoH (OoT) is busy with other things, so if another awesome dev feels like stepping in it would be appreciated by many.
