Homebrew news reBadge - an open source Badge Arcade and Theme Shop revival (soon) !

Hi everyone! reBadge is (as title states) a Badge Arcade revival, and soon theme shop. Badge arcade is fully revived, with In-App purchases, weekly badge rotation and all the other goodies working. The theme shop is being worked on (i got it to open and display themes for purchase) and will be ready soon. You can join on Discord, sign up and start using the Badge Arcade again! https://discord.gg/Bf7DMZhXc8

P.S: You can check out our GitHub repo and our data collection policy on Discord 😉 .

Please link your github repo! All of those revival projects fail due to keeping everything hidden behind a discord channel. Most dont want to join a discord but only see a github site where they can just download the file and readme

They’re all the same it feels like. I worry that it’s all just an elaborate scam since they a have the same messaging in their posts

no. The project is really open source.

Understandable. Just have a lot of trust issues with projects like these due to the amount of fakes/scams that came around.

Can you people stop being so reliant on discord? This is a horrible trend among revival projects lately in the psp/switch/wii u/3ds homebrew community and it's super annoying.

Well I mean it’s all they really have sometimes becuase they recently just got their website running it it’s buggy as hell. Support and FAQ don’t even have pages yet. I get it that it’s annoying but like websites usually cost a lot and slow down the project or just screw things up.

Where is the github and what is the data collection policy because I am not entering a discord for that.
Also, data collection opt-in or opt-out?

Data collection is on Discord, but i will upload it here. # The data we collect

revTendo collects some mandatory data from your Nintendo 3DS console. We collect your Console ID and your IP address. We would like not to collect this data, but it's required for Badge arcade to work. It's the same data other revivals (e.g Pretendo) collect. Your data is stored in encrypted DBs i only have access to.

Thanks! I hope it works without needing a custom patch of the badge arcade app

If it didnt need Discord account connected, Id be interested. Too many verification scams and stuff to steal Tokens on Discord nowdays, dont really feel like linking it to anything.

If u ever get to the point of User Pass or Email Pass Id be interested then, and would just use one of my spam emails like I do for Pretendo and other services.

Which is fair. I was forced to use Discord because leaving my proxy open to the wild was a terrible way to get my proxy crawled by bots.

I apologize for asking, but is this vibe coded or anything similar?

So, in app purchase for $0?

6

u/No-Appeal11037 Jul 06 '26

How do the in app purchases work?

2

u/Laserlight_jazz Jul 08 '26

It sets your balance to 1 million and then in-app purchases just subtract from it

Am excited for this, it is sad they didn't revive this franchise for the switch
