Homebrew a list of all the homebrew that currently works with 5.0.2

[masterspike52]

this is a list of all the homebrew that currently works on 5.0.x
RULES OF THE THREAD
1. The switch soc damage has been confirmed a false rumor
2. dont tell me or anyone "if you dont know what your doing then dont do it" ill happily help you if you dont
3. your an adult, you make your own decisions
4. dont ask if it works on a lower firmware cause i dont know
5. If the app has to do with piracy I will not link to it (You can however Google it when it exists) but it will still be added to the list when it exists
5a. In accordance with rule 5 i accept your right to have your own opinion on if piracy is wrong but just know that I myself am a pirate of games and do not care if your opinion is against me or with me

heres the list, i only tested on 5.0.2 because i dont own a system with any lower of a firmware
It has come to my attention some of these have been updates with the new commit for Libnx but have not been compiled for releases.

If you wish to compile these all you have to do is clone the git for Libnx and then put them into your devkitpro with git clone https://github.com/switchbrew/libnx; cd libnx; make; make install and then run make in the clone of the homebrew that may or may not still work

edited for readability
Edited to say 5.0.x Cause I was apparently still on 5.0.1 but all my homebrew still works after I updated

credit to the people who developed these homebrew applications, we all appreciate your work

IF ANYONE WANTS TO HAVE ME ADD THINGS THAT WORK ON OTHER FIRMWARES ILL HAPPILY DO SO AS LONG AS SOMEONE TELLS ME IF IT WORKS OR NOT

 

[shabbypenguin]

FTPD was working fine for me, just shows 0.0.0.0 as ip but otherwise works fine if you know your ip

 

[masterspike52]

FTPD was working fine for me, just shows 0.0.0.0 as ip but otherwise works fine if you know your ip

got it to work, just crashes sometimes i guess

 

[bedbug1226]

I tried 3 different versions of ftpd and only 2 worked.
The one from switchbru and the original worked.
The one on switchbrew didn't work.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Switch Version 5.0.1

Meritous, Tetriswitch, FTPD (from switchbru.com), HBappstore, Reminiscene Flashback, Snake (Love Potion), HCL-Switch, Fruity, Scummvm, pFBA works.

NonStop-Nyan, Super methane, Pickr, 2048 all start but crash after afew seconds.

SpaceNX, Kgdoom does nothing.

Solarus Engine, Mystery of Solarus, NXengine, Duke Nukem 3D instantly crashes.

i do oddly have a second one so ill try it and then update the thread

 

[Kioku]

Edit list by working and nonworking please. Easier to read that way.

 

[Imancol]

I also want my list of 4.x!

 

[masterspike52]

I also want my list of 4.x!

like the start of the thread says i only own a 5.0.2 switch, if you want the list you're either going to have to make it and post it here to be added or make it and make another thread (the latter is not reccomended but like the rules say your an adult and you make your own decisions)

 

[Sonicbrawler]

Nice!

 

[M7L7NK7]

What exactly is this SoC thing?

 

[masterspike52]

What exactly is this SoC thing?

something about hekate running homebrew on 5.0.x damaging the SoC over time

 

[Naked_Snake]

Is there a homebrew that dumps saves?

 

[Sonicbrawler]

Is there a homebrew that dumps saves?

yeah, Checkpoint. works on 3.0.0 and 2.3.0

 

[Naked_Snake]

yeah, Checkpoint. works on 3.0.0 and 2.3.0

Fuck...... I’m on 5.0.2

 

[masterspike52]

There's what I believe is either a homebrew or a payload file that dumps saves on 5.0.x but it only dumps 1 games saves at a time and you have to know the titleid before compiling....and you have to compile it

 

[Naked_Snake]

I just wanna dump Zelda edit it and replace the modified save

oh? first time ive heard of this. could have just missed a lot though.

 

[alexj9626]

So is there a difference between 5.0.1 and 5.0.2? I thought the same apps would work for either one.

 

[Naked_Snake]

Does anyone know the titleid site for switch? So I can find Zelda AUS ID

 

[masterspike52]

I just wanna dump Zelda edit it and replace the modified save

as far as editing youd have to hex edit it

oh? first time ive heard of this. could have just missed a lot though.

yeah a guy on the reswitched discord made it today

So is there a difference between 5.0.1 and 5.0.2? I thought the same apps would work for either one.

idk, I'm only adding it for precautionary purposes

id assume at this point you can Google switch title ids
