How did I miss this cool thread?
Looks very nice!
@SodaSoba You're doing god's work. Thank you for the templates too. Maybe you could have a look at Pokémon Shield as well.

Also I wonder if there's a really comfortable way to switch between vanilla games and mods like Linkle (or princess Zelda) mod because if so, having icons for them would be cool too.
But I think this is more likely an Atmosphère feature request:
To have a separate icon for a game (beside the main one) on the homescreen if we have a layeredFS mod for it in place. Will open a request for that.

Edit: Created an issue for Atmosphère here:

It's on archive.org since I'm not sure whether SciresM approves this as an Atmosphère feature or not (aka prefers a homebrew solution for this) and in case he deletes it. Although he might "just" close it.

The only thing that comes anywhere close is using Simple Mod Manager, which allows you to create presets from your mods, so you can switch between them with relatively low effort. To start the game vanilla is much easier, you can hold "L" during game launch, to disable mod loading.

To go back on topic: really awesome, I'll be sure to leave a load of likes.

Simple mod manager comes to mind for me too, I think there is a Tesla version but I've never had much luck installing mods so I tend not to bother.

As for poke sheild, I'll have a look later see if I can do anything, not setup my new pc correctly yet as I'm waiting on a m.2 so not sure which backup drive I dumped all my resources

Now it's closed lol. But as expected tbh. It seems like uLaunch or a sysmodule is the better address to do something like this. If only XorTroll would spend more time on uLaunch. He's a great dev but it feels like blawar poisoned him away.
However, this is off topic.

@SodaSoba Cool @ Pkmn Shield. No need to rush it. Take your time.

Btw @cucholix I just read quickly over a few pages here.
I'm on newest Atmosphère but FW 10.2.0 so ... Would your most recent upload work for me or not?

Anytime you want to use a custom game icon, you need sys-tweak plugin
