One thing that might work though is to allow for selecting a directory, which has contents in a defined format which the web app could process. csv wouldn't quite work for the image path, since the web browser isn't able to read arbitrary files from the user's computer - they need to be explicitly selected. If the GIF is too big then Switch will not show the animation and it will just be black there.Īs far as YouTube goes, I'm not sure I'll include something directly, but you can use any number of online tools that do that already, just google for "YouTube to GIF". Switch also doesn't seem to like it if the file is larger than ~60kb. There is a built-in "trimming" tool when you hover the mouse over the selected GIF file, allowing you to chop off frames from the beginning / end.Īlso note that there's no need for the animation to be longer than ~1 second, since the forwarder finishes loading within that time. For the animation (at the bottom-right), you need to put a.I like to put the game publisher logo there. This one is not an animation, just a static image. You can override the logo (at the top-left) with any image.So I created this online tool called " NSP Forwarder Generator" (generic, I know, but I'm not good at coming up with catchy/clever names)!įor the bootloader images, you can enable Advanced Mode: I know there's a lot of prior art in this field, but all have been either Windows only or command line only, and that left me desiring a version that worked without installation and worked on all operating systems and has a nice user interface. I want to share a tool that I've been working on to create NRO to NSP forwarders. I've been using it personally with a lot of success so far, but I am receptive to feedback and/or feature requests. Convenient RetroArch core path presets selector, to quickly and easily specify which emulator a game should be run with.

Automatic conversion of the images to the proper size and format that the Switch requires to work with (so no need to worry about troublesome EXIF data).A handy cropping interface to fine tune your application title image (on home screen), boot-up logo (top-left) and boot-up animation (bottom-right).Images are processed using the HTML element and the `hacbrewpack` tool (which is the central tool powering this) is running in the browser by being compiled to WASM.
