Any update of how progressing the new sys-tweak?

Do we know if someone is still maintaining it ?

There's a sys-tweak fork that has been updated 3 days ago: https://github.com/Zucker-jex/switch-sys-tweak/actions/runs/15495105779

It doesn't specify for what version it was made so if somebody that's already on Firmware version 20 could test it we might find out if it's compatible for the latest firmware.

The commit history just shows a couple changes to build.yml.
Doesn't look like anything has been changed in the source.

Ok I'm on 20.1.1, it doesn't crash anymore when entering Virtual Cards menu, but sys-tweak itself doesn't work, I have a custom Smash icon and it doesn't show up

Some games in the Virtual Cards in the menu are stuck on loading icon though

Some games in the All Software menu also are stuck on loading icon

I pulled this off. It’s not spoofed by sys-tweak. I had to recompile the NSPs to get this to work. It changes the build number and hash, so cheats don’t work including graphic mods for 60 FPS.

So it's not wifi-safe?

So it's not wifi-safe?

It means I changed the installation nsp, repacked it using the modified icon. It has nothing to do with wifi.

 

[8BitWonder]

It will require signature patches to install.
With that being the case Nintendo won't see a difference between it and pirated content.

It's not safe in that regard, if you're running a vanilla switch and not wanting to get banned for piracy and also do not block error reports.

still waiting for sys-tweak update and some themes for vertical icons

 

[progamer76002]

Darn, I finally found something that can rename games on the home screen only to find it doesn't work with current OS 20.x.x.

If there is another mod/app I should check into that can rename stuff (ie: RE4 being all lower case, some Mario games not having the word Super in front of them to keep them grouped, or Xenoblade 1 being listed out of order because it doesn't actually have the #1 in the title like Pikmin 1 has), please let me know!

If I understand the current state of affairs for sys-tweak, we are all hoping that the author p-sam returns or some courageous individual learns C++ and updates the library to work with 20.x.x. ? Well, stay vigilant everyone!

Not sure if I’m allowed to distribute the modified nsp files, this would include the 1.8.1 update to the game. I’m currently creating cheats for this specific build. I created Linkle icon for the specific reason that I run Linkle mods with the game. Yes, Even the mods have to be recompiled. I used bcml and the extracted files from 1.8.1 update and remerged the latest update. So far both mods and cheats work.

Do you have a tutorial for doing that? It still uses the same title ID right?

Does anyone have a vertical icon for the homebrew sphaira?

What are the dimensions for vertical icons? Since I designed the sphaira icon I can change the svg to accommodate that.

Didn't think anyone would still reply. Thanks
Won't need it though unless sys-tweak starts supporting FW 20

I'll add them here in case anyone else also want to use them.
