I was not able to get the Neon Switch and was stuck with the Gray one as I wanted a low serial number for robot reasons. I picked up a used Neon shell on ebay for 12 bucks and this program is going to give me the ones I really wanted.

Can you keep the light always on when the console is not turned off / in sleep mode?
Also is there any method to do the same with the Switch Pro Con?

...is there a way to edit the Retail/Grips/Custom Color Sets? I am unable to affect any swatches by clicking on them on "Select Presets" page. ...else, is there a text file I can edit in folder: Joy-Con_Toolkit_v5.2.0, that would change the default swatches?

Really impressed by this tool. Just installed some clear purple shells on my joycons and within 5 mins I could use this program to set them to an appropriate colour. Well done on all the hard work, fantastic piece of software!

Hi! I wonder if someone can help me... I have Used the toolkit before... i have 5.2 version, and everything was great. Today, I receieved a new shell for my joycons, i changed them, and when i tried to use the toolkit it says:

Connection Error!
The device is not paired or the device was disconnected!

the thing is... it is paired to my pc... and then i tried other joycons and nothing... could it be that the last firmware of the joycons makes that the toolkit doesnt recognize them? because is the only different thing i have. Any other idea would be aprecianted if you can! Thanks in advance :)

I've been trying to change the grip colors for my Pro Controller but all it does is change the color of the whole Pro Con to black.. I was only able to successfully change the colors of the buttons but the grips default to black even when I change them..

I've been having issues trying to change my pro controller grips too. Looks like it was an oversight in the program after pro controller support was added, as the fields above the "write color" button only show the hex values for the body and the buttons, despite being able to select a value for the grip colors as well.

Are there any plans for an update to the tool?

Is there a way to change the colour of singular buttons on this? I have this shell and I can't change it through the application to give me multicoloured R-Joycon buttons.. Just one singular colour. I also need to change the D-pad completely.

Can this be done using a wired pro controller? I bought a wired GameCube pro controller but in the menus it shows as black, I was hoping to make it purple. Is that possible?

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @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 @ 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 @ 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
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ 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 @ 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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    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 :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @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)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @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:wub:
