You pretty much need a computer, you can use AIO updater to update Atmosphere and Hekate, but if something is broken you need to figure what to delete before CFW would boot again, as for homebrew there is an homebrew app store, but not every homebrews are on that app store.
You can use an Android phone as well, but frankly It's so clunky (plus modern phones may not even have micro SD card slots anyway) to the point where It becomes a nuisance than else. There also are some payload boots you attach to your Switch but I absolutely have no clue on how they work on how you're supposed to update the payloads in there.
A USB-C hub will work for phones that don't have a MicroSD slot.
But yeah, even doing simple things with a MicroSD card using a phone instead of a PC is a hassle.
If you have a phone or even a tablet you can get by with usb c to sd card readers.
For a year or so I used just an iPad Air for everything. Even my Wii U. The apps leave a bit to be desired and are a bit clunky but hey if it works it works lol
Should work on android devices as well though. Plus better apps for file management
That depends on WHAT VERSION OF CONSOLE YOU HAVE!!!
If your console is RCM vulnerable you can inject the payload with:
- A phone o tablet.
- A RCM Injector gadget/device
- A Trinket or Gemma Device
- Any computer running linux, Windows or Mac

Go to this site: https://hb-app.store/switch/appstore
Download the homebrews you want, then extract the contents to a spare microSD card in your phone.

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -

I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files
) -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying+1 -
