Homebrew Question How do I make my own homebrew apps?

how do i make homebrew apps?

You learn how to code in the language switch apps are coded in.

I think https://gbatemp.net/threads/brew-js-make-homebrew-apps-with-javascript.504327/ can be used as well.

Look here as well:

I just want to make a homebrew app that displays a simple .jpg file though.

Why would you want to do that? Just use that screenshot signing tool and add the .jpg to your album.

I'm making a homebrew app called "error simulator". It's a homebrew app that just displays the error screen as a .jpg file. It has no purpose at all.

Wouldn't the same be possible using the web browser?

yeah but you gotta go through all that dns changing bullshit. Also there isn't really any good screenshots anywhere.

I only started out nearly a week ago i used some open source examples and learnt a bit of c and c++ whil making the apps.
However you need devkitPro installed on your PC to make .nro files

Unfortunately, I have no knowledge on how to code. I just want to display a simple .jpg/.png image on the screen.

You're going to have to learn. Look at the devkitpro examples and read up on how to code in C. It's not as simple as telling the Switch to "Hey show a picture and if a person presses a button do this."

This is probably going to take a lot more effort than you're expecting. I would recommend just using NX-Shell's image viewer.

If you really want to make a program to do this yourself, Brew.js is the easiest way. Aside from that, learn C and use DevKitPro. Get started here:

And perhaps if you look at NX-Shell's github you might be able to steal slightly revise their code to make it do what you want.

Ah, open source. Is there anything it can't do?

Yeah and I can close it lmao
I'm not really a fan of people stealing code without asking or giving credit. Its happened before and it's quite annoying.

You should really close it, then. You don't really get open source. Open sourcing something is like the scientific journal of coding, anyone who reads the information will hopefully use what they learned to create something else. "We stand on the shoulders of giants."
This guy isn't trying to rip you off or sell your product as their own. They seem to be making a prank for one or two of their friends. Lighten up.

>Don't really get open source
I've been doing it for years...
I'm well aware he isn't trying to rip me off or anything. I was just sharing my thoughts on it. People have stolen open source code and are making money from it. It's still happening today with SX OS. That's the part I don't like.

Then why make your stand here? This is not the time or the place. SexySpai hasn't done anything wrong.

Maybe because someone mentioned my project? Maybe because I just want to share my thoughts?
