[Itsblaze302]

Is it possible to turn snes games into nsp and install them?

Is it possible to turn snes games into nsp and install them?

It'd be possible if someone made an emulator specifically for this purpose

For example, if you altered PSNES to autoload a specific snes rom on launch and converted it to an nsp it should work?

Can you Make a Quick Video Tutorial for Noob´s?

I would like to use this but how do I get my key.dat file? I presume you need keys to get it working. I have already asked this question but no one answered me.

There may be a faster way now but this is what I used

Thanks I have grabbed my keys but how do I make the actual key.dat file.

If I'm not mistaken, you just need to change the extension on your keys.txt file to .dat

Thanks I will give that ago. I have a feeling I can get a legit nsp working of the new devmenu on FW6.0, if I could only get to work this packing part out? Obviously the op thinks hes to good to help me out because hes part of his hacking gang! else he would of done.

you can't make leaked devmenu to work on fw 6.0.0 because there are lots of ipcs in fw 6.0.0 which are the replacement for current ipcs
also devmenu is licensed by nintendo and it's illegal to distribute it
it's better to use alternatives anyway

Here's a program that automates the process (not my own work) I can't use it because I don't have time to set up a compiler but it might be nice for some of you guys

I just wanted to try it I'm not saying it would work but it's worth giving it a go! When I meant legit I meant a working 6.0 devmenu not it works but its the same one that has been floating around for a while and I wouldn't post it anywhere.

Do installed homebrew titles show up in Play Activity once we launch them?

 

[The-4n]

new version is out, v1.15
https://github.com/The-4n/hacBrewPack/releases/tag/v1.15

I added 64-bit build to this version

Changelog:
hacBrewPack now removes temp and nca directories before start and after the process is done. You can use --keepncadir to keep nca directory and files after the process is done
hacBrewpack no longer creates separate files for ivfc level 6 and romfs which decreases the temp folder size
Added buffer for calculating PFS0 masterhash
Fixed a bug in building PFS0 which cause duplicate filepath separator in paths

Do we just create our custom title id value, by randkmly picking an arbitrary value between 0x0100 0000 0000 0000 to 0x01ff ffff ffff ffff?

Like, 0x0123 4567 8901 2345?

yes
you need to pick a random value in valid range as a title id

What would happen if we have conflicts, say 2 apps with the same title ids?

new one won't install and the one you already installed keeps safe

That's good to know. It'a really hard to find development questions, now that almost 2 pages of the forums are full of RELEASE threads.

3DS scene had a forum thread originally, and then a web database, to keep track of homebrew title ids, we're going to need that too.
