Is there anything like a SD card manager so you can connect the Switch through USB with your PC so you don't have to remove the SD card everytime you want to switch out files?

Or is that just not possible?
I use NX-shell to manage my SD card from PC over FTP wirelessly.
it can also manage the SD card directly from the console (copy/move/rename/edit files)

there's an homebrew/option that let me play with only 1 joycon connected to the switch? my left rail is kinda broken and only work as charge, in this way the switch never recognize the left joycon and it's like there's only the right joycon connected, i can't play any game since the switch recognize only the right one, thanks in advance, hope you understand

There is no homebrew, but some games have easy access to bindings like UE4 games and maybe GameMaker.
F.e.

Nope theres no homebrew , your best solution is couple of not expensive options .
1.get a switch pro controller
2.8Bitdo SF30 Pro (awesome controller)
3.usb dongle to support any generic usb controller

I think option 2 is the best :)

sorry i think i didn't write correctly,
i can play without problem any game IF the controller are disconnected from the switch. i don't need a new controller, my issue is: i can't play with both joycon CONNECTED to the switch since the left rail work as only charge, basically i want to play like this:

but my switch doesn't recognize the left joycon, so if i connect both joycon like the picture i can't play any game since my switch say "connect left joycon" hope you understand

If you have other hacked Switch, maybe try to find if value for connected left joycon is not dynamic with sys-netcheat. Dump RAM, unconnect joycon without connecting wirelessly, find changes, put to rail, find changes, etc.

If i understand you correct they work wireless.
If so just use small peace of paper between both joycon connectors to avoid contact with the pins
Play them wireless hmmm .

Is there a way to boot N64 roms/games with Mupen64-Next from an NSP instead of redirecting to Retroarch?
Similar to the MGBA NSP which has its own application that launches GBA roms.

I would love a port of Pokemon Uranium for the Switch.. It runs on the RPG Maker XP Engine and its the most successful pokemon Fanmade game. I've tried to port it myself but i honestly don't know where to start. So if someone could figure it out I'd be forever greatful!

I think this may have already been requested (and hopefully even made at this point), but isn't there a homebrew that allows you to copy individual images from the album to your SD card? I think I at least remember seeing it in the OP, but I just can't find it:glare:

Is there an e-reader for the Switch?
So you could read .pdfs or .jpgs?

I also thought about to just copy them into the album folder.
That should work, right?
Will try that later.

ok just found out that NX-shellmanager can open images.
Didn't know that :wacko:

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    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
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    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
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    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?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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 @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @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 @ 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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    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 :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @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)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
