OwnFoil – 2.3.0

🚨 OwnFoil v2.3.0 is here—and it’s a big one for homebrew shop owners! 🚨

🔥 Multi-Client Support is LIVE!

OwnFoil now supports more than just Tinfoil—welcome Sphaira and CyberFoil to the family! 🧩

Each client can be toggled individually in the UI, and they all get their own clean setup instructions on the new Setup Page 📋.

📊 New Tracking & Filtering Power-Ups:

✅ Download counts now logged per item—know what’s trending in your shop!

🔍 Filter content by path (`/base`, `/update`, `/dlc`, `/multi`) for clients that support it—super handy for organized installs.

⚠️ Heads Up!

If you’re running a public shop with Tinfoil encryption enabled…

➡️ Disable non-Tinfoil clients, or your encrypted content could be downloaded unencrypted by others. Security first! 🔒

🛠️ Bonus: Fixed `hauth` resets on domain changes, and all dependencies (Flask, Werkzeug, etc.) are fresh & updated.

👉 Check out the full changelog: [2.2.1 → 2.3.0](link-to-changelog)

Raptor Consoles – Release Candidate 2 for Raptor-N64

🚨 Raptor: Call of the Shadows – N64 RC2 Update Alert! 🚨

The latest Release Candidate 2 for the Raptor N64 port is here — and it’s packing fixes, tweaks, and a few important reminders! Here’s what’s new:

✅ Crash Fixed!

• Say goodbye to the Bravo Sector, Wave 8 crash… when playing without an expansion pack. 🛠️

⚙️ Performance & Stability Improvements

• General optimizations for smoother gameplay and fewer hiccups.

📌 Critical Notes (Read Before Launching!):

• 🎵 Music = Expansion Pack Required
• Without the 64MB RAM cart (or equivalent), you’ll only get SFX.
• 💾 Save Type = EEPROM 16K
• Double-check your emulator/emu config — manual selection may be needed!
• 📂 Full Game Assets?
• The port looks for GLB files in the SD root, but full assets only work with an expansion pack (memory limits, sadly).
• 🧪 Built on libdragon’s preview branch — expect cutting-edge features (and maybe a few quirks 😉).

Grab the latest RC2 and blast some shadows, pilot! 🦅💥

Happy homebrewing!

PS4CheaterNeo – 1.0.6.1

🚨 PS4CheaterNeo v1.0.6.1 is live! 🚨

Hey homebrew crew — big update dropping for PS4CheaterNeo, your go-to Windows tool for real-time memory scanning & cheating on PS4/PS5 via ps4debug (or ps5debug)!

🔍 New in v1.0.6.1:

✅ Endian-aware Hex numeric searches — finally!

• Toggle between Big-Endian and Little-Endian in the Query window via `QueryHexNumericEndianType`.
• Hex inputs are now interpreted as Big-Endian by default (i.e., how you naturally read hex), then auto-converted to match the target system’s format.
• 🎯 Perfect for tracking down values stored in non-standard endianness — no more manual byte-swapping!

📌 Note: Only applies when scanning numeric values in Hex format.

📦 Full changelog: `1.0.6 → 1.0.6.1`

🛠️ Still packed with all the classics: dark/light UI, hex editor, pointer finder, auto-refresh, hotkeys, hidden memory support, and more.

ACNH Design Pattern Editor – Animal Crossing: New Horizons Design Pattern Editor 1.0.1

🚨 ACNH Design Pattern Editor v1.0.1 is live! 🎨

The latest update brings a host of fixes and quality-of-life improvements to make designing like a pro even smoother on your Switch homebrew setup:

✅ Fixed name corruption — offset issue in pattern parsing resolved!

🚫❄️ UI freezing bug squashed, especially during exchange import — no more frozen windows mid-design!

📁 Auto-adds missing file extensions on export (`.anch`, `.acnl`) — goodbye, manual tweaks!

🗂️ File dialogs now show supported types — import/export clarity at a glance.

🍏 Mac users, rejoice! You can now select any file for `.anch`/`.acnl` imports — fixed that pesky `tinyfiledialogs` quirk with 4-letter extensions.

🧵 BinaryData string parsing updated — now correctly detects `0x0000` terminators for accurate text handling.

All in all: faster, cleaner, and more compatible — especially for our macOS crew! 🛠️✨

(Still requires a hacked Switch + JKSV for savegame transfers — direct homebrew export coming soon!)

emuiibo – 1.1.3 – AmiiboAPI changes

🚨 emuiibo v1.1.3 is here — and it’s bringing AmiiboAPI love! 🚨

Breeze Beta – beta103.1

🚨 Breeze Beta v103.1 is here — and it’s bringing some serious cheat-crafting power! 🧙‍♂️

🔥 What’s new?

• ✅ Pointer chains now live in the UObject menu — no more hunting through menus! Build and tweak complex memory references right where you need them.
• 🎯 “Make Cheat” button added to UObject — but remember: it needs a valid pointer chain to work. So lock in those offsets first, then chef’s kiss ✨

💡 Think of it like cooking up a cheat: pointer chains = your carefully measured ingredients, and “Make Cheat” is the final flip of the pan. 🔥

📦 Full compatibility with Atmosphere + cheatVM, ARM64 support, and all your favorite memory tools (search, edit, freeze, debug) still in full effect.

Grab the update and start crafting like a pro! 🛠️🎮
