A tesla overlay to be able to check your network information. To check your ping in games that don't have it like most first-party Nintendo games.

Is it possible to make a homebrew application or plugin that will provide a type c display to the monitor in the picture?

It would be really cool to have a front-end for roms/emulation. I know that retroarch exists, but look at its interface compared to the SNES/NES online and you'll see what I mean. Also, making individual forwarders for roms is cumbersome.

My idea is basically just a homebrew front-end for retroarch with a grid view and similar visual polish to the SNES/NES online. Maybe with a sidebar like OpenEmu (to select system). Main focus would be on box-art.

I don't have any coding experience myself, but I assume this can be done - considering tinfoil can now launch roms from its file browser, this would be the same functionality but with a much nicer UI.

No. Lakka wouldn't help... It's the same exact interface as RetroArch with the same limitations (IE. No grid view). Also, it has to be launched at boot. What I'm talking about is more like a modified homberew launcher type app with a grid layout that launches roms from a configured directory on your SD card in retroarch (like a rom forwarder) and also uses PNG files with the same name (so, boxart like the SNES or NES online apps). Basically just an organized, simple, and aesthetically pleasing way to launch roms without being exposed to the retroarch interface.

easyRpg Player is an emulator to play rpgmaker 2000 and rpg maker 2003 games. i was wondering if it was possible to fork it to add support to play rpg maker xp games also. SO its not to develop games in the switch but to play said games

since the guys over at easyrpg already have given us this homebrew, you should ask that in their forum. pretty sure they can add faster support than anyone of us (if they want to)

Some sort of way to "force" vr mode, since it only works with 3-12(ish?) games in both the Eshop and official games published, most of them being VR visual novels.

you cant force vr mode on games that are not meant to have vr.

vr works by having 2 camera actors providing a slightly different image for each eye/screen half. a game that has only 1 camera providing an image will not create a vr expecience, even if somehow displayed next to each other
