Homebrew Question Trying to include libnx in an rcm payload

[Enovale]

I'm making my own RCM payload, and it's nearly finished, but I want to display an image. But as far as I know you need libnx for that. So... How do I include libnx into a payload? The Makefile from hekate-ipl-50x (what my payload is based off of) is based on devkitARM instead of devkitA64, and it has no libs specified. The makefile is here.

I've tried copying bits and pieces of example switch homebrew but it's not including.

I wouldn't expect libnx to work in RCM if it's designed for a running OS environment.

Luckily you don't need it to display an image. You'll just need to write it in the correct format to the display buffer. Even luckierly, someone already released a payload to display images, so you can probably check its source. I don't know what it's called or where it lives but there was a thread with a collection of RCM payloads somewhere, so start there.

IIRC biskeydump can display a qr code and a smile image, so that's probably what are you looking for.

...and probably what even TX uses for their boot menu...

i cant seem to find the payload that you're talking about, you're not referring to biskeydump, right?

hippy dave made it seem like there is a dedicated payload for just loading images as a test or something, idk. Im looking into biskeydump but we'll see

Here we go, I couldn't find it on gbatemp but found its github:

Any documentation on creating one of those lol?
