Well, didn't thought that would happen that soon.
Well done, this is a milestone in this scene!

 

[lordelan]

Amazing! Another big step!

 

[XorTroll]

WOW, really nice!
So it generates all types of NCAs?
(I may fork it...)

just Program, Control and Metadata
there'll be another tool "hacPack" which will cover all ncas, will be released SOON

Finally, all of those lovely people fighting over legality shit can keep a lower voice now.
Looking forward to installing the Homebrew Launcher as a standalone app in the Switch's menu
Same for more intricate homebrews

Out of that, is there like an option to make the menu appear like a grid instead of a line?
Or perhaps folders?
That way installing homebrew apps would be so much better and would not clutter the menu as much.

Good job

 

[linuxares]

Congrats to be the first as I said in PMs

 

[CTCaer]

Well done

 

[AveSatanas]

Ooh neat, nice to see a quick release after the homebrew menu one!

 

[jakibaki]

Great work!

 

[SomeGamer]

With every milestone in hacking scenes come numerous stupid questions. Be prepared, great job!

 

[roothorick]

Beat me to it :/

That's okay, I have too much to work on as it is. Thanks!

 

[Draxzelex]

Well, it was nice knowing you NCABuilder.

Make room for hacBrewPack!

Guessing these dont work on SX OS?

Guessing these dont work on SX OS?

If it's like some other custom NSPs, they don't install under SX but if you install them under Rei or whatnot, they work in SX.

Also, are we able to share NSPs made with this tool freely? They're not using copyrighted SDK stuff right?

I'd assume you would be able to, as they're completely legal unless you're putting illegal content in them.

Alright. There exist some other NSP generators that even if you make all the contents yourself, they're still not able to be distributed because they were make with SDK tools. I guess these are different.

Can't wait to make doom/quake/Duke 3d nsps

 

[M7L7NK7]

Well yeah, if you're messing with nsps online it's expected
