Nintendo Switch mods downloader app, SimpleModDownloader, gets major update

simplemodmanager.jpg

First launched last year, SimpleModDownloader is a Nintendo Switch homebrew, developed by GBAtemp member @PoloNX, that allows you to download mods from gamebanana directly to your Nintendo Switch. The developer has just released a major update to the app which has been rewritten from scratch and utilizes a new version of Borealis for the UI. Some of the new changes include: Here's the changelog, which is quite extensive, and I may have surely missed some things
  • Rewritten app from scratch using Borealis.
  • Transitioned to a new build tool: CMake.
  • Added a new page to preview the mod.
  • Implemented detection to check if a mod is compatible with SimpleModDownloader.
  • Added a fix to prevent a crash that occurred when the mod contained special characters.
  • Reduced loading times and implemented multi-threading for improved performance.
You can join the ongoing GBAtemp discussion thread from @PoloNX which includes more screenshots, a video of the app in action and a how-to guide.

    I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.
