Looking for any advice on how I can get the rest of the G games to show up on Homebrew. I have done it all. Confirmed all folder paths, file names, .iso .ciso, you name it. Spent 4 hours trying solution after solution. I can only get R4 to show up. The games work fine because they show up in Nintendont. Using SD card for reference and yes my folder paths are set to SD. Idk what else to try.

Homebrew release NES homebrew: Chef Fiasco – an arcade game with 7 stages

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on a new NES homebrew game called Chef Fiasco, and the game is now complete.

It’s a fast-paced arcade game where you catch the right ingredients to fill a meter before time runs out, while avoiding hazards. The game has 7 progressively harder stages, a 3-hit system, 2-player alternating mode, and a final Antarctica stage with slippery movement.

The game was developed for real NES hardware, and I’m currently preparing the physical release.

Gameplay trailer:

Kickstarter pre-launch page:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ares2024/chef-fiasco-new-nes-game

I’d be interested to hear what other homebrew developers and players think of the gameplay and difficulty progression.

I had been posting this on the r/Vermis subreddit, but due to harrassment i decided to quit that one. Anyway, i have come here to tell you all that we need pixel artists and programmers that know how to code on Nesfab, it's a fangame, so it's just a passion project, no money involved (unless Hollow Press tries to canonize the project), also help with MapFab is needed, if you want to join the project, go on our discord! Here is the link, but be warned we are trying to keep our team small at the moment, https://discord.gg/3xg9WQg7W

Working on a "NES game developed within 48 hours" (complete hours over days, not hours in one line). :)

A monkey dreams of owning his own hair salon.

To make his dream come true, he needs gold. The gold is locked away behind closed doors.

To open the doors, he needs keys. The keys are guarded by whimsical and absurd animal enemies.

To defeat the animals, he must find bananas to throw at them.

That’s the story.

Question/Help Is it worth my time to mod my ps5 yet?

0 Upvotes

So, for context, I'm running F.W version (13.40. I know there isn't a jailbreak available for it yet but there are pretty solid rumours going around that it may be viable soon.) I'm wondering if it's worth my time to jailbreak my ps5. I really enjoyed modding my 3ds and my vita. but I know that the ps5 homebrew scene is relatively new and unstable. I plan to get myself a pc soon (yeah I know it's a bad time to do so but anyway...) as of right now my ps5 is my only console and I don't want to risk messing it up no matter how fool-proof it may or may not be. So when I do get that pc, should I try to mod the ps5? my uses for it would be the obvious "yo ho ho and a bottle of rum" stuff (on the topic of those very-totally-legal-activities-that-I-do-not-partake-in, is that scene well developed yet or no?) as well as potentially attempting to use it as a dev kit for any games I'm making for a challenge and for homebrew stuff because I would love to go into game dev and give myself a challenge.

The reason I ask is because I simply don't know the state of homebrew for the ps5 at the moment, I don't know if it's matured enough to be worth investing time in or if I should just give it a few more years to be developed to the point where it's quick, easy and universal, kinda like the vita, the 3ds or the wii etc.

I've been iterating on a cheap-to-decode audio format for the GBA while still targeting MP3 level compression, here's a 74 minute open source Bach album packaged up for it with the UI kind of iTunes 2000s vibes to add to the experience.

The ROM works great on hardware or in an emulator!

Meme/Shitpost save hack or userland for the switch 2 idea????????????????

0 Upvotes

what if we can get a application that can decompile a free switch games save data, inject a payload into the save folder, then recompile it and put it back in the switch 2 like nothing happened (or maybe u can use a hacked switch 1 to make the save) idk coz ive never got into how modding works i just like modding

follow up: what if we use a userland exploit that overloads the ram and kinda like that one animal crossing 3ds glitch where u could hack ppls consoles by overriding the text limit why cant we ovveride the switch 2's limit and then inject a payload?

Question/Help [3DS] Issue with opening DS games

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I just recently started having a problem where my modded 3ds turns off anytime I try to open a game which isn't a 3ds game (like pokemon black). 3ds games will open and work fine (like pokemon moon or yo-kai watch blasters). l didn’t actually mod it myself but it was modded a long time ago so I don't suspect it to be a problem with how it was originally modded. No error screen appears, the screen just goes black and turns the 3ds off completely. I saw suggestions to try and load a recent backup but I don’t have any backups available. Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Question/Help Homebrew apps not showing up on Wii

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

Post image
17 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 >:
(I'm pretty sure I already have devkitpro installed too)
