Hello everyone, the new release with the much requested USB support is finally here! (Couldn't have done it without @DarkMatterCore's usb library) It's worth mentioning since it is such a big update (backend changes and FS refactor) there *may* be some issues, but the only way I can find and fix those is through you guys! However rest assured, I did run a lot of tests myself to make sure it is functioning as expected. If I waited a month, it would've been exactly 2 years since the last release .

Change-log:

• FS:
  • Added support for browsing USB devices.
  • Switched back to libc to handle FS operations.
  • Brought back support for browsing other devices such as safe, user and system.
• GUI:
  • Update to imGui v1.88.
  • Switch to imGui's new keyEvent API.
  • The two views (File Browser and Settings) can now be navigated as tabs.
  • Switched from list view to a table view using imGui's table API.
  • Sorting is no longer applied from settings, it can be done directly by clicking on the table column headers.
  • A new selector has been added to allow the user to switch to different devices such as safe, user, USB etc.
  • Settings are no longer categorized by imGui's tree system.
  • No longer uses SDL2 as a backend, but instead uses opengl v3 directly (along with egl).
• Fixes:
  • Properly delete config file if the config file version is outdated.
  • Properly free textures after exiting application.
  • Fixed scrolling via the right joystick after zooming into an image.
  • Lots of code clean up and under the hood changes that are too many to list here.

the drivers aren't amazing though, why don't you think most devs wont use them?

 

[Goffrier]

because they're in a crusade against tx because muh piracy

 

[wicksand420]

That has nothing to do about it, when you want something done right, you do it yourself, that way you know its done right.

The drivers work fine, and they max out the USB 2.0 bandwidth. I have not heard of any corruption or bugs with it.

 

[Goffrier]

btw xortroll is writing usb drivers but he is not going to finish them because "i need to add more features to goldleaf"

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

@blawar just leave him alone he obviously uses ams and he is against tx and piracy because "sciresm said piracy is bad"

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

its useless to argue against butthurts

Any revision more stable than 1.20? It crashes after a few page flips of a pdf.

Look pal, I have a mind of my own, And I use wisely, instead of throwing money at it, ya know, like a idiot

 

[Goffrier]

@Liv2MsTrb8T if you want to read ebooks wait for the android project on switch to be finished

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

@wicksand420 i buyed sxos and im happy with it because it has features like xci or usb hdd that will not come on open source cfws for months

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

im waiting for xortroll to brick hdds with his barely finished code

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

The switch will become my daily driver once android appears.
I had hoped some homebrew would be worth using before then.

 

[hippy dave]

I use it, and I would consider myself decent.

 

[fixingmytoys]

I just want to be able to
Copy from/to USB hard drive , even better if I could FTP in to the USB hard drive, who cares if SX tx has done a working USB driver , let’s just use it and stop be bloody martyrs for the cause, we are all doing dodgy things with our switch’s lol nsp good XCI bad lol get over it use what you want

 

[SeongGino]

most people who develop for the switch don't want to make things for sxos, until there are real usb drivers made for the switch by a decent dev who wants usb support, no one will use the crap driver from tx.

I use it, and I would consider myself decent.

@blawar just leave him alone he obviously uses ams and he is against tx and piracy because "sciresm said piracy is bad"

Before this gets off-topic-ery, I'd like to ask kindly...

Next version won't have the PDF feature anymore. I made a post a few (months? week?) back about why I'm discontinuing.

TLDR: The person who made the pull request and implemented the ebook reader does not want to maintain it. I don't like being told my software has bugs with something which I'm not too familiar with myself hence I made the decision to remove it.

Seems the correct decision
It's one of the best hb, I use it a lot
Thank you

Release v2.00 is up

I had to get this one out considering how long its been! Please note: The ebook reading feature has been removed, for more information look here. Also sorry for the lack of updates, I'll try to keep working on this and releasing minor updates/hot fixes if required. This is a rather major update since it completely revamps the music player as well as add support for extracting various archives. It also includes some welcomed fixes that are long overdue (sorry if this is not what you guys expected).

Spoiler: More screens!
