Preliminary list of updated homebrew apps and tools for FW 21.0.0 | AMS 1.10.0 | Please add your findings!!!

[BeefyJoe]

Hi new to switch homebrew, but seems that I got into this at the worst time. Just bought a used unpatched switch off marketplace, it came with 21.0.1 installed. Will the updates for homebrew apps and tools for 21.0.0 work ok with 21.0.1?
I am worried to try to downgrade firmware after reading about “e-fuses”

 

[AFrozenPeach]

IMO Don't bother downgrading. Homebrew will catch up over the next few days/weeks, and the major/important/dealbreaker things are all working smoothly enough.

Ok and the others ? Sphaira doesnt work nx update checker AiO

Sphaira works perfectly with wifi on.

I'm honestly also in the same boat.
But let say we install the latest Atmosphere with the latest firmware version, would it still work?

Can someone patch StepMania NX?

Yes. I literally just installed a full suite of homebrew on my roommate's 21.0.1 and it works fine. Just make sure you're on the right versions of Atmosphere and all your homebrew.

Where do I turn to for the Render96 version of Mario64?

Where do I turn to for the Render96 version of Mario64?

Good luck with that one.

I managed to build the fgsfds build with the Render96 pack built into it about 4 years ago. The repo hasn’t been updated in 5 years, and as such is very out of date. Chances of success if building it today are extremely remote at best.

Thankfully, my build seems to have survived the Thanos snap of 21.0.1, but I still have a few ports that didn’t.

Would recommend taking a look at the guide written by @impeeza - dude knows his shit and god knows it shows. I wouldn’t even know where to begin if I attempted to share the build instructions that resulted in a working .nro for me. I was at it for at least a month

I never learned to apply mods to the repos. the most recent repo https://github.com/AloUltraExt/sm64ex-alo/ still build with the instructions.


Wish to learn someday to add mods to the repos.

Sadly I can not put the Build here because it contains the assets but, I am glad to see the instructions works fine.

Turns out i had decent enough foresight to make notes when i was in the thick of it. You can pretty much attribute this to the massive volume of failed builds and my wish to not keep repeating mistakes!

It seems the trick is to build the Model Pack into the .nro, and load the Render96 Texture Pack from an external source, similar to how soh handles alternative assets. I dont know if this is the 'correct' way to do it, but was the only way i found any form of success.

Dug up an old post that shows what happens if you mismatch the model and/or texture pack (here).

Im happy to share my (very convoluted and admittedly very basic) notes with either/both of you via DM if it helps your understanding.

Edit: In case its not clear already, I cant share my .nro either. I can share what the file structure looks like though - let me know if its useful.

Hey guys, will you have PPSSPP in 21.0.0?

 

[AndyS]

Please, can anyone fix pgen and psnes.

 

[impeeza]

That was exactly why I did the tutorial, I was tired of failed builds.

I'd like to report that the version of LockPick RCM that is linked on the original post, does not work. It generates keys but they are incomplete, and cannot be used.
The version posted by impeeza here works on 21.0.1 and resulted in usable keys.
Recommend having the original post updated with a link to this version of lockpick rcm

Lockpick_RCM 1.9.16 (FW 21.0.0) Zoria Hekate

Not sure if it will work (too many warnings on compilation):

Tested and restart the switch

Does KeyX requires installating the Tesla menu before installation?
Someone said Tesla menu does not work in v21 firmware.

No and yes.

KeyX is a sysmodule, so no, you don't need Tesla (or Ultrahand) to it to work. BUT! the companion config app is a Overlay, so you need Tesla or Ultrahand working in order to run the KeyX overlay.
