Hacking Question HBMenu /switch dir relocation... Can this be done?

[Tilde88]

Hello, GBAt!

As you know, we can now run homebrew from 1.0.0-3.0.0.
NROs will run from the SD card. However, correct me if I am wrong, we do not have write access to the SD from HBM, right? ( i was just thinking about the Duke nukem hb that cant save. but tbh i dont have a clue on why it cant save lol... still the rest applies)

On the other hand, it seems we also now have full live-mounting decrypted volumes. So... stay with me let me know if this can be done

mount -o rw [/whatever/blk] andso_on
cd /
mkdir /switch
chmod 777-R /switch
chmod user:group [or w/e] the switch may need it to be
move some hb apps into here

edit hbmenu source file to use path "/switch" instead of SD
has 777
profit? launch NRO from internal storage, or just cant be done that way?

you can read/write to the files on sdcard FAT* partition from inside homebrew.

yea ignore that, i immediately thought of it like right after i posted. i was only thinking about the duke nukem hb, but thats not relevant.

still curious if it would be possible, to load nro from internal storage

you can copy files from the microsd to the eMMC USER partition using this pegaswitch script: https://pastebin.com/WkP0FT8L (or by writing the appropriate homebrew, the functions are there in libnx/etc)
