Release NX Extractor v1.4.0 – one-click GUI to extract RomFS/ExeFS/DLC and convert XCI ⇄ NSP ⇄ NSZ (Windows)
Hi all,
I got tired of juggling hactool, SAK, nsz and emulator menus every time I wanted to pull files out of my game dumps for modding or playing a recomp. So I made a small Windows tool that does it all from one window.
https://preview.redd.it/vyimq1tyan0i1.png?width=820&format=png&auto=webp&s=1befc4dafef7be157cc4064efd0160be2b33b5b5
What it does?
Extract tab
\- ExeFS, RomFS and DLC RomFS from NSP, NSZ, XCI and XCZ
\- Add base game + update + DLC, and the RomFS comes out with the update already applied
\- Also dumps control.nacp + icons, plus an info.txt with the title name and version
Convert tab
\- XCI/XCZ → NSP
\- NSZ → NSP
\- NSP/XCI → NSZ (zstd level 1–22)
\- Batch conversion with drag & drop
Project Info
\- Single portable .exe, no .NET install or emulator needed
\- UI in English, Spanish, French, Japanese and German
\- Built on LibHac (the same library Ryujinx uses) + ZstdSharp
\- Open source (MIT)
Keys: you provide your own prod.keys / title.keys dumped from your own console. If they're next to the exe or in %USERPROFILE%\\.switch, they're picked up automatically.
*No keys or game content are included.*
I tested it on my own dumps: extraction with updates applied, NSZ files over 4 GB, and NSP → NSZ → NSP round trips that come back byte-identical.
**Download / source:** https://github.com/siriusgoldsmith/NxExtractor
Feedback and bug reports are welcome. If something fails, the log window shows exactly which file and step broke, and pasting it in an issue helps a lot!

RELEASE Geometry Wars 3 Dimensions Evolved Native Port
Since the last update quite a bit of progress has been made.
Now the game is fully playable. Including couch co-op up to 4 players and some features were added as you'll see below.
We're still using the android versions 1.0 and 1.3.
The main differences are that 1.3 adds new levels, hardcore mode, native controller support so no touchscreen emulation has to be done 1.3 also includes couch co-op and better menus in general.
1.3 should be easier to find now.
So now that the game is working what's new?
Resolution: 1920x1080 when docked
Graphic Presets: The android build has inside it the presets that were used for other releases. So I included them as well as sliders for fine tuning. You can now push this one to PC levels of particles. Rumble support for for smart bombs, deaths, boss hits and boss kills. The Android build had no rumble at all.
Switch Controller Layout: A switch layout was added so it looks better and the controls are now mapped to the usual A to select B to cancel.
Achievements: Achievements were re-enabled this time without the need for a Google Play Account
Native looking achievement pop ups were added
Other features: a FPS counter can be enabled by holding - . D-PAD navigation is also enabled. Sign-in propmt was removed.
Limitations:
\- The first launch takes a while (the JIT translates the game's code as it first runs).
\- Docking or undocking mid-session scales the picture until the next launch (the game picks its resolution once, at startup).
\- In co-op every controller rumbles, not just the main player's.
\- Achievement names follow the game's internal order matched to the public Google Play list.
Future updates: LAN co-op. No ETA on this one.
Disclaimer: AI was used on this project. I'm a physicist not a software engenieer so yeah I only know Python directed to data analysis and math.
How to install:
Download the .nro from github the on /SD/Switch make a folder called gw3. Copy there the .nro along with the main.(dependsonversion).com.activision.gw3.dimensions.obb cache file.
You'll also need to extract your APK, you can do this by changing its extesion from apk to zip. From there go to lib/armeabi-v7a/ then copy libgwnext.so, libfmodex.so and libfmodevent.so to your gw3 folder.

Ported Visual Pinball to the Switch (homebrew, open source)
I've been working on a native port of Visual Pinball to the Switch and the first version is out. It plays .vpx tables with their PinMAME romsets on the console, with the DMD, and runs a heavy table at about 28 fps in handheld mode with the physics at 1000 Hz.
There's a built-in frontend (list or grid with screenshots, favourites, play time) and a Cabinet view for playing the console on its side. I only tested handheld mode so far, and the gyro nudge and the backglass are still missing.
It's free and GPL-3.0, and it ships no tables or game files. It needs custom firmware. The code and the install notes are on GitHub: github.com/RumaTeam/vpnx
I'd love feedback, especially from anyone who tries it docked.

The Binding of Isaac: Repentance+ running natively on Switch 1 – PC saves and Workshop mods work (build from your own copy)
Hi guys,
My closest friend Don Claudio and I ported the PC recomp of T**he Binding of Isaac: Repentance+ (v1.9.7.17)** to the **Nintendo Switch**. It runs natively as homebrew and it's fully playable.
**Mods work, and you can bring your PC saves!**
How to build and install (don't forget to star it!): [https://github.com/antoniotorres02/isaac-switch-native](https://github.com/antoniotorres02/isaac-switch-native)
* No game files are provided: you need your own Steam copy and have to build it yourself (on Linux)
* Requires a Switch that can run homebrew
* Please don't ask for the NRO, it's built from the game's executable, so it can't be shared
https://reddit.com/link/1xfh6xi/video/yl1suyjo6pxh1/player
Enjoy guys!
Thanks u/MobileUnhappy8018 for sharing the web recomp!

.·´¯(>▂<)´¯·. You people are all seriously amazing!
First-time poster. Long time lurker. I've been lurking in this sub for years since I bought my Switch 1 hoping that my original patched switch 1 version would eventually get a working softmod. Over the past few months with Ai clearly helping increase the pace of game ports and new tool creation by this incredible community it has been increasingly awe inspiring to see the projects you're all pulling together. My biggest pain point is that I still can't mod my Switch due to it being on a patched version, and whilst I know that hardware modchips are an option, the cost of doing them in my country is just so SO expensive and it's just unfortunately money that I just cannot afford right now with the cost of living. BUT! I just keep watching this page hoping that one day soon I'll log on here and see a working softmod exploit that can bring me fully in to the community. But in the meantime I just wanted to say thank you for keeping my dream alive by continuing to develop such awesome cool stuff, it really is so amazing to see stuff like ebook readers and FTP file servers and Decomp/recomps of old PC games that I remember from my childhood and ALL the other cool AF stuff you guys are making.

Switch Remote Frame - a fork of Switch Frame Tap
First release of Switch Remote Frame — a fork of Switch Frame Tap by TomasUribe. Many thanks to the original author for the streaming stack this builds on; see the original repository for the full in-depth documentation.
GitHub Latest Releases
# New features compared to the original Switch Frame Tap
Touch control — touch the streamed picture on an Android phone or tablet and the Switch touchscreen is touched.
Gamepad support — a controller paired to Android or the PC acts as a Switch Pro Controller, with a button-remap and test page.
On-screen virtual gamepad on Android and PC, with a layout editor (drag to move, click to resize or remove, set opacity) and a show/hide button.
Rumble — the Switch's vibration comes through on your controller or the phone, with an opt-in root fallback for Xbox pads.
Lower-latency decoding — frames are presented immediately and vendor low-latency decoder options are used where available (Qualcomm, MediaTek, Exynos, Kirin, Amlogic), with automatic fallback.
The PC viewer plays, not just watches — the mouse touches the screen, the keyboard and any gamepad act as a Pro Controller, rumble returns to the PC's controller, with the same virtual gamepad and editor.
Smooth video pacing for bursty Wi-Fi (off by default), plus Disconnect and Exit buttons and a framerate-only counter.
macOS Metal FSR 1 upscaling — GPU upscaling on Mac, where the original only supported Windows/Linux.
A self-updating Linux AppImage, alongside hardened Windows/Linux/macOS self-updaters.
Redesigned dark UI on every surface — the Switch manager, Tesla overlay, Android / Android TV app and PC viewer share one modern design system, with ten-foot TV focus, an inline IP address field and network connection by default.
# Install
GitHub Latest Releases
# Switch (the sysmodule, manager and overlay)
If you’ve already installed the Switch Frame Tap Homebrew app, turn off “Start with the console” in the app.
1. Download switch.zip.
2. Unzip it onto the root of the SD card (the folders atmosphere/, config/ and switch/ merge with the ones already there) and put the card back in the console.
3. Reboot. The sysmodule starts about 30 seconds after boot, once the HOME menu is up.
4. Open the Switch Remote Frame app from the HOME menu (Album) to set the connection mode — USB for handheld, Network to play docked or to a phone/TV.
# Windows viewer
1. Download -windows-viewer.zip and unzip it.
2. Once, install the USB driver with Zadig: choose the Switch's USB interface and install the WinUSB driver (network streaming needs no driver).
3. Open SwitchRemoteFrame.exe.
# Linux viewer
AppImage: download `-linux.AppImage`, `chmod +x` it and run it (on a machine without FUSE, run it with `--appimage-extract-and-run`).
Portable tarball: download switch-remote-frame-1.0.1-linux.tar.gz, unpack it and run the included install script once (it installs the udev rule and a launcher).
# macOS viewer
1. Download -macos-arm64.zip (Apple Silicon) or -macos-x86_64.zip (Intel).
2. Unzip, drag the app to Applications, then right-click it and choose Open the first time.
# Android / Android TV
1. Download -android.apk and install it with a file manager that can install apps (on Android TV, use a file manager such as X-plore or adb install).
2. Open the app, type the Switch's IP address (shown in the Switch app), and set the Switch's connection to Network.
3. This is a fresh application ID: if you tested an earlier build under a different package name, uninstall it first — settings do not carry over.
After installation, every app updates itself from this repository's releases from its own Update button or Updates page.

Tailscale-nx 1.2.0 – smoother Moonlight and Artemis streaming
I've been working on streaming performance for this release:
* **Smoother streams**, with a steady 60 FPS at up to about 25 Mbit/s over a direct connection, at 720p or 1080p in testing. On 1.1.3, the same tests were dropping frames by 16 Mbit/s.
* **Faster transfers**, with raw tailnet speeds up to about 35 Mbit/s down and 37 up, from 15 and 25.
* **Low-memory warnings**, so you get a notification if the shared sysmodule memory is running low, which can cause error 2001-0132.
It still uses exactly 2.5 MB of memory. If you're using Artemis at 1080p, turn its default 35 Mbit/s bitrate down to around 25.
[https://github.com/UnderwaterOverground/tailscale-nx/releases/tag/v1.2.0](https://github.com/UnderwaterOverground/tailscale-nx/releases/tag/v1.2.0)
To update, copy the new files over the old ones on your SD card and restart the console. Your settings and login are kept.
I'm planning for this to be the last release, aside from updates to keep it working with Atmosphère and fixes for reported bugs. It now does everything I set out to add.
Thanks to everyone who's been trying it and reporting issues. If you need help getting your setup working, there's a Discord link on GitHub.

Alek's Ultimate NX Edition – Twilight Princess (Dusklight) native Switch port, now at 1.0.3: mod support, deko3d, 30 FPS, cross-save & co-op
Hi! I released my native Switch port of Dusklight (the Twilight Princess PC port) about a week ago and never posted it here, so here it is, now updated to 1.0.3 with a bunch of fixes from community reports (mod controls, Dawnlight/Twilit/Twilight HD compatibility, play time, and more).
**Trailer:** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZxJlJoP-kU
**Download:** https://github.com/Alexgg1014/The-Legend-of-Zelda-Twilight-Princess-Alek-s-Ultimate-NX-Edition/releases/latest
**Highlights**
\- Native NRO, steady 30 FPS target at stock clocks
\- deko3d renderer by default (shaders ready in seconds, no long first-boot compile)
\- Loads mods from Dusklight's in-game mod catalog (Dawnlight, Twilit Essentials, Randomizer, Linkle, and most of the catalog)
\- Cloud Save built in: same save on Switch and PC
\- Online co-op through Crests of Courage
\- In-game updater, HD Rumble, gyro, optional Flip Grip / dual-screen HUD
\- Compatible with Storm's Dusklight HD texture pack (download it from its author)
**You need your own Twilight Princess disc dump** (GameCube or Wii: .iso / .rvz / .wia / .gcz). No game files are included.
Install: extract the zip to the root of your SD, put your disc dump in `sdmc:/switch/dusklight/`, and launch from a game title (hold R), not the Album.
Bugs and feedback go to GitHub Issues, with your log from `sd:/switch/dusklight/cache/logs/`. Thanks to the Twilit Realm team, encounter (Aurora), centollOS (SwitchWaker), PalindromicBreadLoaf, Chansey, Storm, and all the mod authors and testers!

Mobapad disconnect PSA
TLDR: delete/disable sys- con and restart the console.
PSA for mobapad owner, possibly other 3rd party joycons as well. I have m6 HD bought second hand and had extreme disconnect issues on the left joycon which i looked up and found not much. Opened it and fiddled with the ribbon cable which helped slightly or maybe placebo but would still disconnect constantly.
I replaced the rail entirely and also the rails on my console which was a total waste in hindsight.
I noticed doing a specific action would trigger the left disconnect 100% of time. I have the all in one pack so sys- con was preinstalled, I didn’t use it and had a suspicion so after disabling/uninstalling ive had 0 disconnect/issues. Hope people with disconnect issues find this before starting to replace parts like me.

Release kickNX v0.5.0 - Kick client for Switch homebrew
# kickNX v0.5.0
Processing img 0kcxlxm53vyh1...
A controller-first, native Kick client for Nintendo Switch homebrew
kickNX lets you browse Kick, watch live streams, VODs and clips, and read and send chat on your Switch. It's built for Joy-Con, Pro Controller and touchscreen, in handheld, tabletop or docked. It even has a Joy-Con portrait mode for watching with chat.
I'm the developer. It's free, open source (GPL-3.0), with no ads or donations asked.
# What's new in 0.5.0
Colour themes: OLED (default), Dark Grey and Kick, picked from a new Theme button on Home with a live preview
Live events: a new row on Home; each event has a page with its live streams and most-viewed clips
In-app chat keyboard: an on-screen keyboard with see-through keys in landscape chat, so the stream stays visible (the Nintendo keyboard is still an option)
Controller scrubbing: hold A on the progress bar and use the stick or D-pad to seek; L/R skip 10 seconds
Check for updates from the About page
Stream title shown on the live player controls
Kick-only: the leftover Jellyfin, media library, music player and similar code is gone; kickNX opens straight to Kick
Offline streams: when a channel goes offline, the player tells you and returns to the previous screen
# Fixes
SSL connect errors that could break sign-in, playback or Home sections
A crash when pressing A right after leaving a stream (especially after using Tesla/Ultrahand)
Opening chat before the stream had started
Right-stick scrolling with a top-bar button selected or after touch input
A corrupted settings file no longer stops the app (it's backed up and defaults are used)
# Features at a glance
Kick sign-in by QR code, followed channels, popular streams, categories and search
Channel pages with follow/unfollow, recent broadcasts and clips
Live, VOD and clip playback with quality selection (up to 1080p60)
Software, Hardware and Hybrid decoder modes
Real-time chat with Kick emotes (including animated), docked or overlay layouts
Joy-Con portrait mode with stream, chat and keyboard on one screen
# Installation
Requires a Switch that can run homebrew (Atmosphère / Homebrew Menu).
1. Download kickNX-0.5.0.zip (or kickNX.nro) from the [releases page](https://github.com/j2k-lab/kickNX/releases/latest)
2. Extract to the root of your SD card so you have `sdmc:/switch/kickNX/kickNX.nro`
3. Launch from the Homebrew Menu and sign in with the QR code
Tip: use full RAM mode (hold R while launching a game) instead of launching from the Album, for the best 60 FPS playback.
kickNX has also been submitted to the Homebrew App Store and should show up there once it's accepted.
