I was pretty active in the Switch homebrew scene a while back, but since around March I've sort of dropped out of homebrew news. Could someone catch me up on what I've missed since then? (Just a basic list of bullet points of big releases/news is enough.)

Is there an objective benefit to the deja vu exploit? As in, is the entrypoint different and etc.

For future reference, the /hbg/ thread on 4chan keeps a little update log in each OP. Good for recent events and advancements. People there aren't very nice so I would recommend limiting interaction with /hbg/ to just lurking.

SX OS patch 1.4. Can find information here.
https://team-xecuter.com/sx-os-v1-4-announcement

Team TX says they found new exploit for the new patched Switch models released in July. Can find information here.
https://team-xecuter.com/team-xecuter-versus-the-unhackable-switch

Switch March SDK was released. Nothing of value for non-developers. Not ok to distribute on GBATemp.

Atmosphere 0.7, first release, coming out at the end of this month. Can find information here.
https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/wiki/release-plans

ReiNX CFW is now legal to distribute. Auto patching. Prevents gamecard reader from updating too. Can find here.
https://gbatemp.net/threads/official-reinx-thread.512203/

Tinfoil can install game, game updates, and game DLC via .NSP files. Can find here.
https://buildserv.stayathomeserver.club/tinfoil/

With the .XCI to .NSP converter, there isn't really a need for SX OS anymore unless you really just need to have .XCIs. Reminiscent of 3DS and the .3DS and .CIA conflict. Can find here.
https://gbatemp.net/threads/4nxci-open-source-xci-to-nsp-converter.513758/

RajNX CFW is a thing. Not sure why you would want to use this instead of Atmosphere or ReiNX. Can find here.
https://gbatemp.net/threads/rajnx-c...free-starter-pack-for-nintendo-switch.513785/

ChuoDujourNX allows for automated updating without burning Switch fuses. Still forces AutoRCM to prevent fuse burning. Can find here.

im on 5.1.0 switch (before new july model)
im keeping it on airplane mode + DNS blocks
:vul1:
still gotta buy a micro sd card (size recommendations??)
also saw the R4 team is getting their switch hands dirty.

ive got a fully softmodded 3ds and used an acekard for my dslite...

hope i didnt update too much and can still setup a custom firmware.
i dont have a jig and the R4 team is looking like a good purchase.

im a student and going back to school in the fall, (essentially im broke) so homebrew has always been a logical path for me.
and im an introvert and dont mind losing my online privileges.

any input on the matter would be deeply appreciated.
im super thankful for this forums existence. :switch:

i cant find it,am looking for it.somebody in a post mentioned is coming out this august.
As much as I want them to bring out Deja Vu since I am/was a 3.0 user but updated without burning fuses, I doubt they will and they'll probably keep it private for a long time to come till Nintendo patches it sadly

They wont release it until the new hardware revision is out IMO. They need to protect that exploit, especially since we don't NEED it right now.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • 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!
