How to launch FLOG on any firmware version (1.0.0-5.1.0)

You will need:
The NCA of the original version of FLOG, look for f1d1780e16fc0d555808cfd59687b188.nca, you can get it from the update directory of all gamecarts released before 2018, and some after.
A copy of Retro City Rampage DX, doesn't matter which version (although the cart version has FLOG on it ;)).
The standard RCM/homebrew gubbins.

How to do it:
1. Extract the ExeFS from the FLOG NCA to a directory using hactool (--exefsdir flag).
2. Copy the "main" file to sd:/atmosphere/titles/0100F17004156000/exefs, creating the 0100F17004156000 and exefs folders along the way (you should already have the first two).
3. Boot into custom firmware using hekate.
4. Launch Retro City Rampage DX.
5. ?????
6. Profit!

Tried this the other day.

You will need to edit FLOGs Title ID in main.npdm to the Title ID of the application you wish to replace
Also copying sdk, subsdk0, subsdk1 and subsdk2 to the exefs folder (or you will get blackscreen)

I used the SnipperClips Demo XD

Download a hex editor. I use HxD (https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/)

Open up main.npdm in HxD
Search for "00 C0 13 00 B0 8B 00 01" which is FLOGs TitleID (01008BB00013C000) in little endian (Found here: http://switchbrew.org/index.php?title=Title_list)

Replace FLOGs Title ID with the application's Title ID making sure it's also little endian (I'll use SnipperClippers Title ID (0100D87002EE0000) as an example "00 00 EE 02 70 D8 00 01") (Found here: http://switchbrew.org/index.php?title=Title_list/Games)

Save, and copy to your "atmosphere\titles\<titleID>\exefs" folder

I tried putting it over the User's Page, but it crashes as soon as I clicked on it. I made sure the TID is edited in little endian and all but it crashes. Any Idea?

make sure you copy all the files (sdk ones too) and not only main and main.npdm

The main.npdm has to be modified, because it contains the title id of it's original app, so you must put there the id of the app you're using to run flog over.
