Hacking [Tool] Joy-Con Toolkit

[Deleted User]

So, I got it to work, turns out if you have the programs the OP states to install, still crashes, but if you are quick enough, you'll be able to write body color, and it will crash after write. So you can re-open the program, and do the button colors, OP if you reading my comment, you should add my reply to the post to help others. And thank you so much for this tool.

Normally most VM software allows you to pass-through usb devices.
I'm doing this all the time with VirtualBox with windows host and ubuntu as guest

Yeah I use the passthrough quite a bit for my guitar amps, the issue is my bluetooth module is built in so I can't pass it through USB.

Strange. Most built in bluetooth modules are still USB, even if they are on a MPCIe wlan card.

It looks very usefull but I can't use it: it crashes at startup.
I have Windows 8.1 x64
.net framework 4.5 is installed
C++ redist 2015 (x86) is also installed
I also tried to restart my computer.

Someone has an idea?

Don't feel bad, I'm in the same boat. I have no idea what the problem is.

Is this program supposed to crash after you dump the SPI? Because right after dumping my left joy-con it crashed, Joy-con Toolkit.exe has stopped working. Did it dump correctly? It's a 512kb file.

Mine never crashes. 512 kB is correct, so it probably dumped fine.

 

[Maelxich]

To all that have crashes, install also visual c++ 2015 x86 redistributable.
If you installed any dll by hand, remove it.

Sorry about that. I updated OP.

I have all the right stuff installed and I'm still crashing on startup.

Edit: I don't know what I did. But it's working now. I thought there was an issue with the .net Fx so I used a tool to uninstall them. However once done, I reset my computer and went to reinstall 4.5.1 but it said it was already installed? So i repaired the joycon and the installation process for the joycon took longer than usual, but once it paired the program started up! Dumping SPI now

Some things from my experiences with this app:
Plugging in Pro Controller via USB kills the app. You MUST use Bluetooth.
The S/N, FW Version, and MAC Address seem to just be random upon opening the app. Could be me, but not too sure. I doubt thay my S/N contains: ÿ
The SPI backup feels unreliable with the previous issue.
App likes to crash... a lot.

But good job making the app! Hopefully the bugs that have been mentioned by others can be fixed. Thank you very much for this tool!
Also, how do you restore your backup? And does anyone have the Pro Controller Body Color hex?

Welp I looked again and there it was! I was under the impression my bluetooth module was made from another manufacturer.
Thanks

Finally!

My Joy Cons are originally Grey and I replaced the outer shells so this tool helped me a lot!

Good job Man!

I changed mine the hard way months ago, but this tool is SOOO MUCH EASIER. Made updating my reshelled Neon Yellows with the official body color super fast (even with the app crashing about 5 times before I was finished).

Using Ubuntu 12.04
I Tried WINE and it crashes immediately. I've always had issues with WINE though so it may be an error on my end.

Do you have another computer with bluetooth adapter? or you can overwrite your ubuntu by installing windows 7/8/10/XP

NES Styled Joy-Cons!
FUCKIN LOVE THIS PROGRAM, THANKS MAN. I FEEL LIKE I OWE YOU SOMETHING. lawl
I made the Body Color Dark Gray (not Official gray color) because black would almost be invisible.

 

[TheMCNerd2017]

How big is the SPI flash backup/dump suppose to be?

I might try that one

So since it's crashing at startup, I tried to debug with Visual Studio, and it says that it's a "System.AccessViolationException" exception. Maybe it can help (I hope)

I updated OP, so please read carefully the warning! Beware when using it with pro controller. Also the net framework needed is 4.5.2

When it's possible I'll try to make it more compatible with all windows setups.

Sorry but, in what is useful ?
I don't understand why change the color
