Thanks for this. However, I have one forwarder previously built using nro2nsp and one using this one. Both icons are from the same source image but the nro2nsp's icon has more resolution. Is it possible to fix this in a future release? Here's the GTA VC forwarder for comparison. The one on the left is the nro2nsp one.

Hi. Another suggestion, add the app version as well. For example, I made a chiaki nsp forwarder, it's written 1.0.0 but it's v2.1.1. Awesome tool though.

@samarston Unfortunately, the resolution has to be 256 x 256. Whatever Image conversion library nro2nsp was using must have been better than the one built into Autoit, as standard it uses HIGHQUALITYBICUBIC for its scaling options if you want to play with other scaling options you'd need to change line 461 in the AU3 file

@Kev63 I've looked into this before I cannot find any information on how to add the version number, if you can find anything in the hacbrewpac documentation on how to add it, I'll give it a go. I know nro2nsp used to give you the option to do it, but this is just a gui for the tools available

Hey folks! Been at this for days and I'm thoroughly confused. All I want is a single forwarder, for 12+ RetroArch, but with video capture enabled. Could someone possibly whip together an NSP for me real quick?

Thanks for this work.

I've modified 0.7 version to make your program more usable with screen readers like NVDA, a labels must be created just before
the field that it describe, like this it's interpreted correctly by the screen reader. Often good accessibility leads to a better structured code. You can use my version in your first post if you want and if my modifications don't produce visual problems (It's difficult to verify this point by myself because I'm blind but normaly nothing should change visualy).

Hi @shadow256 I've not really spent much time looking at this recently and I have to get round to fixing up the prod.keys code too, I've not even got round to updating my switch to see if forwarders still work with the the latest firmware. Your suggestions however sound great and when I get round to it I'll certainly look to impliment the changes you suggest.

Hi, are you able to build the nsp just video recording isn't working?

The Video recording function is built into the files provided ny mpham, by default these don't allow any recoding. Try replacing the control.nacp with the one posted by @Meliodas2255 https://gbatemp.net/attachments/control-zip.261301/ This version enables recording and removes the creation of a save file for each forwarder, however this does not force enable the video recording, there is annother setting within the control.nacp that forces it but I have absolutly no idea how to generate the control.nacp with that setting enabled.

Thanks for the reply, Edd! No, in one of the 12+ Forwarder threads, they attached a few pre-built NSPs, one of them being Retroarch, and I just used that. However, they didn't enable video capture. So I don't know anything about the process of creating a Forwarder, I just need video capture turned on.

For some reason whenever I tried to create forwarder. It keep saying the program is not compatible with my Window.
But I got it to work now after I downloaded latest version Hacbrewpack and put it in the folder.

Finally got Retroarch on the Home Screen. No more of the Applet mode crap and holding R button bullshit.

That's odd I've not had anyone else have that issue. I'll post a version 0.8 Beta in a minute.. It'll just have the changes provided by @shadow256 and a little bit of a code tidy. I'll also post an AIO version which should have all of the files posted by @mpham and @Meliodas2255 and my Gui in the correct places, you'll just need to provide your prod.keys file

Version 0.8beta files should be uploaded now.. However I had a thought, its possible the conversion isn't working because you don't have full permission to the folder your running from, Right click the menu.exe and run as administrator might solve this issue for you.

Do I have to get the prod.keys after every update? Or once I’ve got them they never change after updating?
