Homebrew WIP Homebrew Status: Working/Broken on 5.0.2

[PRAGMA]

Green = WORKING
Red = BROKEN
Orange = May be caused by my specific system configuation (Perhaps my 128gb MicroSD which was originally exFat and formatted to fat32 with GUIFormat)
Blue = Important information

Test Environment
If you have the same stuff as me, the tests below will be 100% accurate.

• Nintendo Switch v5.0.2
• Samsung 128gb Class 10 U1 - exFat formatted to fat32
• @CTCaer 's Custom Payload with SD Card fixes (so my SD works, no other payload works for me)
• RCM using Paperclip

(In order of Tested)

1. Snake (ShinyMK @ 19/05/2018 - Instant Error-Screen)
2. 2048 (ShinyMK @ 19/05/2018 - Loads, Then 2-3 seconds later, Crashes to an Error-Screen)

(Post below your confirmations explaining why it doesn't work)

Snake uses LovePotion. The newest version of LovePotion, 1.0.0, doesn't work on 5.0.x firmware.

LovePotion does use LibNX, and uses the most up to date master for it. There's an unknown problem, and we may not see a fix until we're able to debug problems with switch homebrew.

As more and more Homebrew comes out, more and more won't work. This would be a great thread to sticky.

 

[PRAGMA]

Added tons of info

 

[domol2]

Duke nukem engine working but you can not save the game.

 

[H1B1Esquire]

Don't forget Solarus, gdkGBA, khedgb, and DeSmuME-NX.

Well, they work for me on 4.1.0.

(for Solarus, keep trying; I get errors every once in a while, but soldier on, Sir.)

This is specific to 5.0.2

Dig deeper.

So you know the "WIP" at the top of the thread, doesnt mean "Finished".

 

[EclipseSin]

So, can I get some information on ftpd? The nro I have is listed as the same version listed above, however I only am able to download, not upload.

FW: 5.0.2

I only tested connecting via port 5000 (not via localhost, but via switches IP, you can grab this in network settings or using router gateway information)

I'm using the default port, can you confirm both upload and download work though? The file is created, but no data is stored (0kb file) during upload.

Hate to be a dick, but noooooooooo, no idea WIP meant Work In Progress.
Seriously, I'm pretty sure I can pull a YT vid of someone running it, but now you can do it yourself; this is why I said what I said.

Do you know what I mean when I say "Dig deeper"?

---this is all you get:

Yes it does work if you do it correctly. Sometimes block size for sd card formatted as fat32 needs to be adjusted. Think it's block size or something of that nature. Maybe your using a payload that is not correct for 5.0 it does work on 5.0.2 as I have two switches one on 4.1.0 in the video the other 5.0.2 switch you can also see in my other video.

Yeah, it is broken. This thread is strictly for 5.0.2, the Version: 1.0.0 does not mean Switch v1.

 

[H1B1Esquire]

in the video the other 5.0.2 switch you can also see in my other video.

I'm just going to let you simmer for a while. You probably stayed up too long and I'll forgive you for that.
I won't forgive you for not looking deeper.

For anyone else, this video has the snipped conversation about Solarus DX, specifically mentioning 5.0.2. working. Feel free to keep trying--the game is not broken, but it has issues. (Insert joke here).

PS. You'll have to look deeper than...well...you actually have to look--I found it in about three seconds.

 

[hippy dave]

Someone said rebuilding 2048 with the latest libnx got it working. I don't know if they shared their build.
