Tools Native ACNH Save Editor hits 100+ downloads (C++/SDL2 Switch Homebrew)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

My native Animal Crossing: New Horizons Save Editor for Switch just crossed 100 downloads, and I wanted to share it with the broader homebrew community.

**Tech Stack:**

- C++ with devkitPro and SDL2 for the UI

- Custom AES-CTR decryption/encryption for Switch saves

- Murmur3 hash validation and repair

- Runs 100% offline on the console (no PC required)

**Current Status:** v1.4.0 is stable and working well. Built this because I wanted a safe, native alternative to PC-based save editors.

**GitHub:** https://github.com/cbreezy210/ACNH-Save-Editor

Always looking for code review suggestions and feature ideas from more experienced homebrew devs!

Question/Help Homebrew apps not showing up on Wii

1 Upvotes

I need some help, I am new to homebrew and my goal was really just to put all my games on a hard drive so they are easily accessible from here on out. I have put bootmii on my SD card and made a nand backup. Then I have my external fat32 1TB hard drive with all my apps properly placed in drive/apps/priiloader and so on. But they simply will not appear on the wii to get everything running.

They show up as homebrew apps on TWBM on my computer, but I cannot seem to get any of the apps to load on the console when I try to access them.

Homebrew release I created a roguelite game for the Nintendo Game Boy

5 Upvotes

I developed this game as part of my bachelor thesis regarding procedural content generation with limited hardware specifics.

This is Tales of Lithos, a Game Boy turn-based (with bump combat) roguelite dungeon crawler RPG.

The game features 25 floors with random layouts and filled with enemies that drop essences when defeated. These essences can be used in the main camp to upgrade the player's stats and equipments. Thanks to Safy's priestess magic, the player can be teleported out of the dungeon without losing the obtained items and allowing him to get stronger in order to explore the dungeon further.

Here is a small gameplay section of the game: https://youtu.be/h6kYavCEElE

You can get it on itch.io from the following link: https://daring01.itch.io/tales-of-lithos

And you can also look at the code on github: https://github.com/DaringBaby/tales-of-lithos-en

Release I LEAKED DELTARUNE BETA 1997... TO A NINTENDO 2DS. (NOT CLICKBAIT) (MY LAWYER IS A [Little Sponge])

0 Upvotes

Here it is ♥️ it's the demo build only chapter one. https://drive.google.com/file/d/13Sp0EP3NstBAtBPCLKOimIMRRYHH6fJb/view

HEY EVERY !! IT'S ME!!! EVERYONE'S FAVORITE \[Number 1 Rated Salesman1997\] WITH THE DEAL OF THE CENTURY. YOU WANT DELTARUNE? TOBY WON'T SELL IT TO YOU FOR THE \[Outdated Portable Console\]? WRONG. I GOT IT. I GOT IT RUNNING ON A MACHINE WITH THE PROCESSING POWER OF A \[Microwave Egg\]. AND I'M GIVING IT TO YOU FOR THE LOW LOW PRICE OF \[Ferry Trip To The Other PC\].

HOW'D I DO IT? DON'T ASK QUESTIONS YOU \[Can't Afford To Have Answered\]. FINE. FINE!!! I'LL TELL YOU.

THE SPECS, BABY:

\- ONE (1) ORIGINAL 2DS. 268MHz. 128MB RAM. THE CPU IS OLDER THAN MY \[Best-Selling Product Line\]

\- THE BIG COMPANIES SAID "NO ARM11 SUPPORT, \[Hyperlink Blocked\]"

\- SO I SAID OKAY AND THEN I BUILT THE RUNNER ANYWAY. FROM SOURCE. LIKE A \[Sucker\]? NO. LIKE A \[BIG SHOT\]

THE OBSTACLES? I'M GLAD YOU \[Did Not Ask\]:

1) THE DOOR CRASH. KRIS WALKS THROUGH THE DOORWAY DOWNSTAIRS AND THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE \[Commits Suicide\]. EVERY TIME. 2 FOR 2. THE GAME LOADS THE ROOM, FINISHES LOADING THE ROOM, SAYS "ROOM LOADING COMPLETE!" AND THEN \[Dies Like A Salesman In A Bad Timeline\]. YOU KNOW WHAT THE BUG WAS? THE ROOM'S OPENING LINES WERE BEING DELIVERED BY A GHOST. NO IDENTITY. NO CONTEXT. THE CODE WENT "WHO IS SPEAKING???" AND \[Deleted Itself\]. ONE FIX. FOUR LINES. THE DOOR WORKS NOW. THE DOOR \[Works\].

2) THE AUDIO. THIRTY (30) SOUNDS MISSING. TORIEL'S VOICE BLIPS? \[GONE\]. SUSIE LAUGHING? \[GONE\]. THE MENU MAKING THE SOUND OF A COMPLETELY \[Different Stranger's\] SOUND EFFECT? YES. SOMEHOW. THE PACKER GAVE MY MENU THE AUDIO OF A MAN WHO WASN'T EVEN \[In The Building\]. I REBUILT THE WHOLE SOUND BANK. 149 OF 151. ZERO \[Impostors\].

3) THE MUSIC. THE RUNNER CANNOT DIGEST OGG FILES. IT JUST \[Can't\]. SO I CONVERTED 59 TRACKS TO A FORMAT THE LITTLE GUY CAN EAT AND HAND-FED THEM TO THE ROOT DIRECTORY LIKE A \[Mother Bird\].

AND NOW? CHAPTER 1 RUNS. ON A 2DS. WITH SOUND. KRIS IS DOWNSTAIRS. TORIEL IS \[Downstairs\]. EVERYTHING IS \[Downstairs\] AND NOTHING IS CRASHING.

PRICE? FREE. I ONLY ACCEPT PAYMENT IN \[KROMER\] AND \[Your Belief In Me\].

NO I WILL NOT EXPLAIN THE \[Hyperlink Blocked\]. THE LINK IS BLOCKED. THE LINK HAS ALWAYS BEEN BLOCKED. THE LINK IS ME.

Release Introducing tizen-homebrew + tizen-youtube - A light weight YouTube mod for Tizen OS Tv's

Post image
14 Upvotes

After personal annoyance with existing tools for both managing homebrew apps and the YouTube mod's that are available I decided screw it, i'll do it myself.

Since I was working on a homebrew app I thought why not make it a nostalgia trip so the UI is very inspired by the homebrew channel from the Wii, it even plays the music!

tizen-homebrew can be installed on any Tizen OS device in just 3 steps, written down in the README.md of the repository. It makes installing and future updates for tizen-youtube a breeze.

Comforts of tizen-homebrew include:

- 3 Step installation.

- One time PC necessary only - sdb relay/proxy.

- Auto resigner, no need for messing with creating Samsung certs every time you want to install/update something.

- Remote usage on any device in a webbrowser. Install and update apps from your phone.

- A very nostalgic theme.

tizen-youtube brings what you have already come to expect from similar YouTube mod's for TV, it is a not a fork but a continuation of https://github.com/reisxd/TizenTube, slimmed down and focused on implementing fixes for my personal annoyances and any community feedback that I like.

So far on top of TizenTube's featureset and lots of under the hood improvements I have added:

- A High contrast / OLED theme very carefully tuned to the YouTube TV UI.

- Blocking YouTube shopping interactions (Those annoying QR-code popup's at the bottom left). on by default.

Of course it is open source and you can find it all here:

Question/Help What to expect? [3DS]

0 Upvotes

So I'm thinking about finally jailbreaking my 3DS, as i had to get a new one after the shop shutdown after losing my old one and not having access to any of my games or DLC any more. When I do, and i install the apps on the guide, will I just... have access to an installer on my 3DS? Or some form of the shop as it was?

Hellooooo!
I use Unity and Godot as game engines but i could also just not use an engine.
I use vwii and want to make a silly little thing for myself, but i dont know where to start.
I've found this but it doesn't go as in detail as i would hoped: http://www.codemii.com/category/wii-programming-tutorials/

I think I mainly want 3D but I can't find anything >:

Question/Help [WII] can i delete everything off of my wiis sd card and start over?

1 Upvotes

while trying to update retro rewind i accidentally deleted a file that was necessary for it to run, and now it will not let me run it. the official help page isnt helping me, and i am considering wiping the sd card and reinstalling everything, so essentially un-modding my wii and starting fresh. the only real reason that i modded it was so i could run this mod, so my question is, is this possible? and is it safe?

quick edit: I PLAY IT LEGALLY WITH A PHYSICAL DISC I DID NOT PIRATE IT

Question/Help Wii mini homebrew issues🫤

1 Upvotes

Hello guys (whoever will read this), i am currently trying to mod my wii mini with ubuntu and following this tutorial->https://youtu.be/SgtsMg2EEWk?si=Bgxto67sjF1eURag. So basically i plug a bluetooth 5.3 dongle in and i turn bluetooth on and i run the script, which results in a fail and bluetooth turns off at the same time. I run it again and i get to waiting to accept turn the wii mini on and start spamming sync. I've done this many many times and it never worked. Maybe i'm doing it wrong or there may be things explained wrong in the tutorial. Or maybe the timing of the sync button spamming. If anyone knows and has a few minutes to write an answer, i would greatly appreciate.☺️

Homebrew release [Release] PKHeX-NX v0.9.3 Beta — a 100% native Switch Pokémon SV save editor (no PC required)

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

Hey o/ — a few days ago I shared a devlog of PKHeX-NX, my native Switch save editor for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet. Today I'm shipping the first public Beta!

What it is: a from-scratch C++ homebrew app that edits your SV saves directly on the console. No PC, no SD swapping, no dumping tools.

What's in the Beta (v0.9.3):

• Legality-aware generator: real abilities, level-accurate movesets, 6 EXP growth curves, eggs, 26-ball picker

• Manual legal move picker (hand-pick your 4 moves on-console)

• Box viewer + stat editor (IVs, EVs, Natures, Tera Types, Force Shiny)

• Trainer edits (Name, TID/SID, Money)

• Safety net: byte-verified SD backup before EVERY write + one-button rollback

• Applet Mode guard: the app now hard-blocks Album launches and tells you exactly how to relaunch correctly

Install:

  1. Download the zip from the GitHub Release below.

  2. Extract to the ROOT of your SD card.

  3. Launch via Title Override: hold [R] while launching Pokémon Scarlet/Violet. (Never from the Album!)

Feedback & feature votes: GitHub Discussions. Bug reports: GitHub Issues.

Offline use, keep your own backups, educational project — not affiliated with PKHeX, Nintendo, or The Pokémon Company. Repo link in comments!

Tools [Devlog] PKHeX-NX update — manual legal move picker + v0.9.3 polish (native Switch Pokémon save editor)

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

Hey o/ — quick progress update on PKHeX-NX, the 100% native Switch Pokémon SV save editor (no PC, no save dumping). Thanks for all the love on the previously posted sneak peek!

What's new:

🎯 Manual Legal Move Picker (M11)

The generator used to auto-assign the 4 most recent level-up moves. Now you can hand-pick them on-console:

• Press [Y] in the generator to open the picker

• Browse every move the species legally learns at or below your chosen level — real names, parsed straight from PKHeX's learnset data

• Assign up to 4 slots — perfect for competitive sets or legacy movesets

🔧 Polish

• Title screen now shows v0.9.3 + author credit (was stuck on 0.1.0 from early testing)

• Full source code + the SD asset generator script are now public on the repo

Screenshots attached: new title screen, move picker UI, generated mon with a custom moveset.

Next up: Bag editor / item tables, or the SDL2 graphical UI (v1.1). Repo if you want to follow along: https://github.com/cbreezy210/PKHeX-NX
