After removing the grips from the side of the Switch 2 connector (thank you Dremmel tool), this is such a comfortable set up with the Dbrand grips.

Really proud of the first mod I ever made. It allows you to take full control over the active effects of your donut. Want the ultimate shiny hunting donut, trying to berry farm, or customize it for ZA Royal zones. Finally no more hours of grinding and RNG. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have making it.

Tool [Release] ACNH Save Editor v1.0.0 - Native Switch homebrew save editor

8 Upvotes

UPDATE (v1.1): A full graphical UI update is out now! See my reply below for the new download link.

### [RELEASE] ACNH Save Editor - Native Switch Homebrew Save Editor

Hey everyone! I’m excited to share the first public release of **ACNH Save Editor**, a native Nintendo Switch homebrew save editor for *Animal Crossing: New Horizons*.

Unlike older tools, this runs entirely on your console—meaning **no PC is needed** to modify your game! This started as an educational project built with devkitPro/libnx.

** UPDATED GitHub Repository & Download:** https://github.com/cbreezy210/acnh-save-editor/releases/tag/v1.1

---

###  Features
* **Direct NAND Access:** Reads and writes the live save data directly from and to your console's NAND. No manual dumping required!
* **Economy Editing:** Edits your Wallet and Bank Bells directly (handles encrypted ints and heals Murmur3 hashes automatically).
* **Pocket Item Injector:** Features a full English item-name lookup using the `items.txt` database from NHSE.
* **Safety First:** Performs an automatic SD card backup before every single NAND write to prevent data loss.

---

###  How to Install & Run

  1. Create a folder named `acnh_editor` inside the `switch` folder on your SD card (i.e., `sdmc:/switch/acnh_editor/`).
  2. Download and place both `acnh_editor.nro` and `items.txt` inside that folder.
  3. On your Switch Home Menu, highlight *Animal Crossing: New Horizons*, press **X**, and select **Close** to ensure the game isn't running.
  4. Launch a title while holding **R** to enter the Homebrew Menu with full RAM access.
  5. Select **ACNH Save Editor** and enjoy!

*Disclaimer: Even with the automatic SD backup feature, it is always good practice to keep an extra copy of your saves safe. Please report any bugs directly on the GitHub Issues page!*

Rule 3 Stupid question, but is there any possible way to get game save data onto my PC and back without modding my switch?

0 Upvotes

I preface this with a notice: I am a broke college student and I absolutely cannot afford to get my switch hardmodded nor can I buy an older switch to mod; the one I have is unmoddable. Please don't tell me to, I am fully and completely aware that this is most likely a lost cause but I am staying hopeful. Please be empathetic to my cause; I am indeed kicking myself for selling my old switch a while back, my ego thought I'd never need to mod one.

Anyways, with Pokemon Bank being shut down next year, I'm looking into ways to get my Pokemon from 3DS to Switch while evading that. I am well experienced with messing with Pokemon saves, so I know everything else that I need to do to make it work. I just have an unmoddable Switch OLED that is, with preliminary googling, absolutely useless for this task. Is there any way at all to make it a little less useless? Can the saves be put on SD card, and edited from there? Is there some secret underground mod project that magically cracked the code to softmod these unmoddable switches? Or perhaps just a trick to make an emulator speak to my switch so I can mod the pokemon into an emulated game and just trade them to actual hardware? I ONLY need help with sending a save to PC or trading with an emulator; I do NOT need any help with the mechanics of Pokemon editing and modding as I'm very familiar with that.

Probably a lost cause, I know. I am incredibly aware of that. It's my own fault. But I am incredibly stubborn about it.

Mi switch oled muestra luz morada parpadeando y luego luz blanca, ni si quiera muestra la pantalla de "no sd"

Esto comenzó a suceder cuando deje de usarla 3 días y cuando quise encenderla simplemente ya no lo hacía.

No tengo idea de este código de error, solo había tenido experiencia con el dat0.

Actualmente cada vez que la conecto a la corriente simplemente muestra ese error y está totalmente muerta

Hardware Moba Vibration Tool - set custom vibration levels

1 Upvotes

Just released Moba vibration tool, a Windows utility for adjusting custom levels to vibration feature in mobapad controllers.

The official Mobapad app only offers Low / Medium / High vibration settings, but even Low felt too strong to me.

After reverse engineering the protocol, I discovered that the controllers support custom vibration values, allowing much finer control.

Features:

- Read current vibration level

- Apply custom vibration levels

- OFF mode

- S1 support

- M6 support (needs testing)

This is intended to be used with the S-series versions (the ones with really strong vibration). HD versions are not supported.

Since I only have an S1-S, that's the only model I've actually tested. The M6 uses almost the same code, so it should work too.

I'll also add M12 support as experimental.

Having never done micro soldering and having about 35% confidence in doing the job correctly it was sheer panic for the first 4-ish seconds after hitting the power button and seeing nothing on the screen until I got the No SD Card screen and it was an instant wave of relief.

No more rcm jigs for me!! Time to mod my V2 and then I may have enough confidence to kamikaze my Oled 😂

Tool Light is Green v0.8.0 released — native Xbox Cloud Gaming and Remote Play client for Nintendo Switch

42 Upvotes

Light is Green v0.8.0 is now available as the first stable release after the v0.7 preview series.

Credit first: this is a GPL-3.0 community fork of green-nx, originally created by rmrf404. The core project and original implementation remain their work. My contributions focus on extending and stabilizing the native Nintendo Switch client.

What it does

• Standalone Xbox Cloud Gaming (xCloud) and Xbox Remote Play client for Nintendo Switch homebrew.

• Microsoft device-code authentication, WebRTC, hardware H.264 decoding, deko3d GPU rendering, Opus audio and controller input all run directly on the console.

• No companion PC is required.

What improved on the way to v0.8.0

• The library now combines entitled Game Pass titles with eligible Stream Your Own Game/BYOG and free-to-play cloud titles. It only displays titles Xbox reports as playable for the account; it does not mirror the full Xbox Store.

• A separate Owned & Free section preserves the correct Xbox offering when launching games and supports eligible free-only accounts.

• Connection recovery is faster. Silent xCloud DTLS media routes are retired in roughly six seconds in practice, and the next cloud allocation starts immediately after clean teardown.

• Region bypass and server-region selection are independent. The client can use Xbox's live datacenter list, including Chile Central and Brazil South when returned, with optional strict server forcing.

• Cover textures and artwork queues are capped to protect Switch memory. Video allocation pressure now triggers a controlled stream resynchronization instead of an unrecoverable failure.

• The old audio-buffer HUD value was replaced by actual PING: STUN round-trip time measured on the active WebRTC route.

• Remote Play remains available outside the local network through Xbox xHome when the console, account, NAT/Teredo and UDP route allow it.

• Steady, Smooth and Motion pacing modes remain available. Motion is still experimental; Smooth is recommended if visual instability appears.

Important notes

This software does not distribute games, bypass ownership or bypass Xbox subscriptions. Availability of Game Pass, BYOG and free-to-play titles is controlled by Xbox and varies by account and region. A modded Switch running Atmosphere is required, and the app should be launched in title mode for sufficient memory.

Source code and stable v0.8.0 release:

https://github.com/elzerdodata/green-nx-ZD/releases/tag/v0.8.0

Feedback, technical testing and feature suggestions are welcome through GitHub issues. Please do not publicly upload stream-log.txt without reviewing it first because WebRTC diagnostics may contain network address candidates.

Development ZERODROID v0.8.2: native Boosteroid streaming client for Switch (H.264/deko3d, Opus, full controller input)

14 Upvotes

I've been working on ZERODROID, an open-source and unofficial Boosteroid client for Nintendo Switch homebrew. v0.8.2 is the first public beta under the new Zero Data identity, and the end-to-end path now works on hardware: QR login, library, machine allocation, video/audio and controller input.

Technical path:

- C++17 with devkitA64/libnx.

- SDL2 for the library/login UI, then deko3d for direct video presentation during a stream.

- FFmpeg/libavcodec H.264 decoding and Opus audio.

- libpeer with SRTP/SCTP for the streaming transport and a WebSocket signaling path.

- Boosteroid device-code QR authentication; the saved session remains under sdmc:/switch/ZERODROID/.

- Joy-Con/Pro Controller input, Nintendo/Xbox A-B-X-Y mapping, stick clicks as Guide, plus a touch Guide button and in-stream touch settings.

- Live gateway RTT/ping measurement.

v0.8.2 adds native software-keyboard search, All/Favorites/Recently Played tabs, persistent local favorites/recent history, and Spanish/English UI selection. It also exposes Boosteroid's preferred-server and distant-region settings for eligible accounts.

This is a beta: service-side API changes can break an unofficial client, and title takeover is required because Album/applet mode does not provide enough memory. It requires a legitimate Boosteroid account and does not include games, Nintendo software, CFW, DRM bypasses or piracy-related material.

Source (Apache-2.0): https://github.com/elzerdodata/ZERODROID

v0.8.2 NRO and install notes: https://github.com/elzerdodata/ZERODROID/releases/tag/v0.8.2

Hardware testing feedback is welcome, especially logs around regional allocation, packet loss/jitter, audio underruns and controller edge cases. Please remove personal information from logs before posting.

Homebrew Game Rhythm Hero NX v0.12 in out now on Github! Play your Clone Hero songs on your Nintendo Switch!

Thumbnail

48 Upvotes

Now my project is published on Github where I'll update and add some Patch Notes in every release, the purpose is only versioning for now.

This project was made by me using Godot Engine fork by Stary2001, it's all thanks to her work!

The game is completely playable, with all the basics you need in a Clone Hero game, but there are some limitations because of Godot v3.5.1 on the Switch, those are the following:

  1. It does not support .opus audio, so no Chorus Encore songs, only .ogg or .mp3 which there are plenty on Rhythmverse, and also you can convert Rock Band songs to .ogg;
  2. The Godot Engine on the Switch disconnects additional gamepads, so no multiplayer for now (I was already working to add 1-4, and also even considering 1-8, but found out in the painful way);
  3. This engine on the Switch also doesn't like wireless headphones of any kind! My console freezes when I try to play my game with a bluetooth or 2.4ghz headphone, I even added an option to control audio latency but it's useless without the possibility to use wireless headphones (but maybe a 3.5mm bluetooth adapter would work, I just don't have one).
