maybe because its an edited version of the wii u appstore just forgotten by mistake
Well first, you made this thread 1st Jan 2018. And the switch was released in 2017. Homebrew started appearing late 2017. Yet, you had a site that went live in 2016.
seems legit
it sounds bizarre true .. but we had the discussion in our WiiU IRC channel around the time ppl were anticipating the console.. we bought the domain then and placed it on hold until it was required... so yes thats that
If you are able to change it, then maybe you should.
Its not really important, it just looked odd to me.
I've started work on the console-side companion to the website: https://github.com/vgmoose/appstorenx
It's very basic right now, but I'm seeking feedback on what works (and doesn't work) with the new library for installing files. I have an experimental .nro available here-- but it's not ready for the average user.
I've had pending changes (for probably too long) to the Wii U's homebrew app store, including important contributions by @rw-r-r_0644 to handle multiple folders of files, that have now made their way into the library behind this pre-release. I hope to backport these changes into the Wii U version of the app so that it can also benefit from being able to install different types of homebrews (like retroarch cores, plugins, haxchi files, etc).
If developers want to chime in, after ironing out some stability bugs in the http downloading code, I want to get to work on implementing these GUI design mockups. (currently the interface looks like this...). As usual I'm trying to do this work in the open, so feel free to contribute!~~

Brilliant as always ... .. seriously though .. feedback is needed here hope you can contribute and test out the the fuctionality of the app...
ok, I'm trying appstore, I comment the errors I'm finding:
When you install an application that you already had installed, it produces code error, but it installs the duplicate app equally.
When leaving the appstore with the button B always gives code error.
After installing an app gives code error, but the app appears installed when re-launching hbl.
I will erase everything I have in the microSD and start again with the tests to locate new errors, but it is a great application to be a start, congratulations!

Thanks for trying it out! Were you able to run anything that downloaded?
Before uploading I was able to download many apps (spacenx, pusha, vba-next, mame, hcl) and run them (without error codes). I had to return to HBL using the home button to be able to run them.
I should also say every time I tried to download hbmenu it would always crash and say installed without actually installing it. I am starting to wonder if this has something to do with the app being pre-installed outside of the app store, but FAT32 doesn't track file permissions or anything so I'm not sure why this would be.
EDIT: also hbmenu is unique in that it attempts to install directly to the root of the SD card, but in my tests in other folders and on the PC, this didn't seem to affect the results.

1st start after I copied it with FTPD to the microSD:
No games showed up, crashed when I pressed "B"
2nd start:
Still no repos. Hmm maybe ftpd didn't copy the json file properly?

Yes, I have managed to execute what I downloaded correctly.
With home button I can exit without problems.
Everything worked fine, except the fruit'Y app, which did not work.
I have had the same problems you mentioned with HBL 2.0
I'll have to either fix or remove that B-crash >_>
If you don't copy over a .json file, the app is supposed to generate its own (pointing to switchbru.com/appstore). If nothing shows up I would probably lean towards it indicating the server can't be reached. Also, since I don't have curl working, other servers in the .json won't work (the IP for switchbru is hardcoded to get around DNS resolution).
Cool! I wish I understood the crashes better. For example, I wasn't able to get either of the libtransistor/libnx-examples at all, but other apps I was able to reliably get.
Did you test removal as well? (It will only ever delete files that were included in the download manifest, so it will leave save files and configuration behind)
EDIT: actually, if you both could upload the contents of your /switch/appstore/.get folder, that would be helpful for me to look at
- No one is chatting at the moment.

@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

@
The Real Jdbye:
@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?
trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files
) -

@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)

when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying+1 -

@The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol

I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please
