    Library for Switch Homebrew

    Project mention: [2022] Running Solutions on the Nintendo Switch | /r/adventofcode | 2023-01-13

    The SDK used by most, if not all switch developers, is libnx. As a Rust enthusiast, I wanted the core logic in Rust so I just built the display in C/C++ which the switch library is written in.

  • EdiZon

    💡 A homebrew save management, editing tool and memory trainer for Horizon (Nintendo Switch)

    Project mention: glitch zelda tears of the gingdom? | /r/SwitchPirates | 2023-05-20

    What glitch are you talking about? If you are referring to the item duplication glitch, this has nothing to do with pirating or hacking, it works on any console. If you search on YouTube for "item duplication glitch" you'll find dozens of videos with details on how to do it. If you install something like Edizon you can add things to your game or get full stamina bars and lots of other cheats. There's also some save game editors out where you can edit your save.

  • nxdk

    The cross-platform, open-source SDK to develop for original Xbox: *new* xdk

    Project mention: PCSX2 is an open source PS2 Emulator | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-12

    In addition to what tehbeard mentioned, Xemu at least (which is what i have experience with as i used it to do some homebrew development[0] with the open source nxdk[1] SDK) is far from accurate and largely just a means for playing OG Xbox games on modern hardware. However the GPU emulation does not take into account NV2A's performance at all and simply translates the calls to OpenGL (despite the "DirectXbox" name, the GPU is actually designed around OpenGL :-P) so it is much faster than the real one and depending on what is going on the CPU performance can also be quite faster. IIRC it doesn't even emulate the real CPU the OG Xbox has as you can accidentally use instructions in Xemu not available on the real hardware.

    Of course if your goal is to just have games from OG Xbox playable on a PC that is fine (if anything for most games it is an improvement as they'd run smoother) but if you want cycle accurate emulation it doesn't fit the bill. In that case basing the emulator on something like 86box might be better as that has been designed with the goal of achieving cycle accurate PC hardware emulation.
