Discussion Post homebrew ideas, suggestions, requests here

This is already possible using linux, and chrome would not be possible on its own. Maybe chrome os, and also firefox may be possible too.

 

hello people, does anyone know if they have already released a gamecube emulator for nintendo switch that is native, without lakka or another?

 

They didn't.

 

if possible i would like to have a app to play rpg maker xp games to play pokemon fan made games (with configurable to use joycons)

 

I would like to see a PS Vita emulator. Not sure if that can be implemented well though.

 

There is not even good PC emulator.

 

Is there any homebrew to play to an installed game without the update, just the base game ?

I managed to do that by extracting the NCA of base game in romfs and exefs folders, and then putting them in Atmosphere/contents/GAMEID

I can play the game with my save, but it's the retail version.

An homebrew that just launch the base NSP without going through these process would be so cool (since some updates just can't be ignored, the game won't launch if it's not installed).

 

Just reset required version with goldleaf 0.9-dev.

 

I didn't know that tehre was a 0.9-dev version. I did it and it work.
That option is also on 0.8 but doesn't work, idk why.

But it's an unconvenient workaround because you have to uninstall the update, and reinstall it when you want to play with it.

I imagine an homebrew that could just launch the base nsp when activated (why not an overlay, would be even better), and launch the updated version when it's disabled.

 

If my knowledge is correct, only qlaunch and their replacements can launch games because session for running games requires systemapplet priviliges and those are available only for qlaunch titleid.

 

I see.
But atmosphere mods can directly interact with games launched by qlaunch so I guess an Atmosphere module could make a game launch without its update. I'm not an expert but its sound way more easier than many other homebrews and modules.

 

Layeredfs is just redirecting fs calls for files in romfs and exefs. What you want is a different piece of cake and doesn't use fs at all.

 

So technically is it possible to have the base game installed, and have the update in layerfs (exefs and romfs folders) so that the game would load with the update despite the fact it's not installed or do you mean its impossible with layerfs ?

 

It's possible, but dunno if there won't be any complications.

 

Honestly it would be an amazing homebrew/module when you have games that change a lot through updates. I hope someone will consider it.
