Homebrew RetroArch Switch

[ShadowOne333]

I thought something was supposed to be announced soon?

Plutoo delayed the announcement/release from Feb 1st to Mid-February.
Until around the second week of February we might know what they have in store.

A question if you (or anyone!) can answer - will we have to install pegaswitch first to use retroarch or other homebrew? I'm a total noob and it looked pretty complicated.

it was told on discord , and i dont think it will replace the album yet (ScriesM told on Discord that we cant install Custom Titels until we have a CFW) so no CFW we need to use Pegaswitch to run things

@ShadowOne333 idk if he wrote that without thinking but he was speaking about Launching Homebrew from the SD Card.

Launching the HBL from SD with the help of PegaSwitch?
Or will the exploit stay installed to a certain app to then grab the HBL executable from SD?

well thats what i dont know , i think we will run pegaswitch and maybe an nro file of hbl ? or its even something like ace loader idk

 

[TheGreek Boy]

i think the hbl will just replace ace loader

i mean

launch pegaswitch
runnro ./nros/hbl.nro
homebrew launcher starts and you can load homebrews from sd card

Well whatever it might be, I just hope it's setup in a way that makes it more user accessible.
I am guessing some sort of PegaSwitch initial installation for the HBL file to boot from a certain app, taking the NRO from SD. Of course the exploit would only be functional until a reboot is done, kind of like the 4.5 exploits for 3DS were handlded back in the day.

Thankfully the Switch has an Android like sleep mode to aliviate the reboot issues.

Thanks for the heads up btw

I really hope the DeSmuME screen orientation can be made horizontal, as the vertical screens look weird on the Switch tablet.

I have no problem waiting even a couple of years. I have no interest in setting up and/or using something that's not permanent and user friendly. Until that happens I'll pay for what I want. I know we'll get there but I'm curious about the short term stuff.
