Homebrew RELEASE Nro2Nsp Retroarch Rom/Nro Forwarders!

[EmulateLife]

There's multiple ways of saving settings.

LeMageFro and me listed how to change universal Retroarch settings, either way.
If you want to change settings per game quick menu > options > Save Game-options file
If you want to change settigs per core quick menu > Overrides > Save Core Overrides

But you can't just continue playing or they will crash on some cores, so you need to close content after making those changes.

I used this to build a retroarch forwarder but I can't exit retroarch from within the app it just keeps relaunching itself is this normal?

Unfortunately at this time you can’t close a nsp internally as it will crash the console. You must use home button and x or launch another app

i dont understand what this is...

do i need retroarc folders in certain place?

or is it an all in 1 nsp package
install and go

You need retroarch already installed and the rom on your sd card.

Hey. I've been trying to get Banjo-Kazooie working with the rom forwader for a while but every time I open it it crashes. I'm using 8.1 if that helps (ie. If it doesn't work on that OFWW)

Thanks for this app...

anyway, i have a problem, i dontknow if this is app related problem or switch related problem...

i created a NSP forwarder with custom game icon...
then i nstalled it... the icon doesnt look good... so i uninstalled it...

what i did was create another icon and
recreate the NSP using the same settings as before,
but i only changed the icon... then i installed it...

the problem is (and im also confused)...
the icon appearing on switch was still the first one
and not the one that i recreated...

tried installing, uninstalling... tried sd install and usb install...
same result...

It does work on that firmware and I have a forwarder for that game so I know it works. Make sure you're choosing Retroarch Rom Forwarder on the bottom and putting in the exact location of the core (i.e. retroarch/cores/mupen64plus_next_libretro_libnx.nro you need to make sure you're using next) and the rom path must be exactly the correct rom path as well with whatever rom name your rom has included in the path.

When you made the second one did you change the title id?

yeah, i used same title id...
but anyway, i just foud a solution, just run the game and restart the switch... and it changed to the new icon i created...

It should work with no issues on that fw, if youre still having issues you can dm your log file in the resources folder and i can help out

ive noticed this before with other nsps, the switch seems to do a crappy job of cleaning out files after a removal as the icons get cached for the qlaunch, changing the title id is the easiest way as its registered as a new app or doing the above like you said also works

I created an nxmtp.nsp and it loads fine but when I hit X to terminate it won't exit and just reconnects to PC. Any idea what I did wrong?

Thats normal, with nsps you cannot close within the nsp or else itll crash the console. Just use the home button and press (x) or launch something else

Quick question: Does deleting the icon touch the nro, or does it just delete the icon?

 

[EmulateLife]

Just deletes the icon, anything else such as nro or a rom stays on your switch.

 

[matomato]

how to change only the icon if the NSP are already rebuilt?
I have some NSP and i want to change only the icon....

You cannot just change the icon. You should just delete the nsp you want to change and remake it.

 

[re.lax]

Yeah it easier to make a new one and install it

 

[matomato]

there is a tool to do this (change only icon)?
sorry for offtopic

 

[EmulateLife]

It takes about one minute to make a new one, especially if you already have the icon. No need to waste your time just delete the ones you don't want and make a new one.

sure, but i need to edit multiple nsp and it requires me too much time, i had read that there was an homebrew suitable for him

(I redid the new reicast game icons that need to be replaced with the old ones... all icond are over 30+)
