IMPORTANT! this project is no longer continued. For the ongoing work on Rust support for 64-bit Nintendo Switch homebrew, check here.
This repository is the home of some native and cross-platform work regarding Nintendo Switch homebrew:
-
nx: completely native homebrew library made in and for Rust
-
tests: simple tests made as a PoC of what can be done with nx, or as a way help with nx's development.
-
Rust:
rustup,cargo, etc. -
xargo, used to cross-compile:
cargo install xargo -
rust-src, needed by xargo:
rustup component add rust-src -
linkle, used by the bash build scripts to generate a homebrew NRO executable from the compiled ELF (
cargo install --features=binaries linkle)
Many things still have to be implemented (nx is basically a work-in-progress Rust port of libbio, a C++ homebrew library)
-
Split wrapper/optional modules into crate features ("gpu", "input")
-
Figure out how to implement the module name (link_section attribute doesn't seem to work fine...?)
-
Finish bits of CRT0 (implement all hbl ABI parsing, etc.)
-
Secondary crate/lib for UI, some 2D framework
-
Thread-local variable support?
-
Decide how to properly handle early Result assertions (before main() gets called)
-
FileSystem wrapper (maybe "fs" module)?
-
RomFs support
-
Documentation
-
Result module:
430(2430-****) -
Result submodules (can be found as consts named
nx::results::lib::<module_name>::RESULT_SUBMODULE):-
Dynamic:
1(2430-01**) -
ELF-related:
2(2430-02**) -
Util:
3(2430-03**) -
Assert:
4(2430-04**) -
GPU:
5(2430-08**)
-
-
Other main homebrew libraries (libnx and libtransistor) since libbio (the C++ base of this project's library) was made thanks to all the work made on these two libraries.
