Here is my MUST HAVE list of homebrew apps in 2024. I'm sure there are tons that you all love and enjoy...but this is my starting point, and as usual, the HATS project just about nails the list for me.
HATS project is on TWITTER (x) search for Sthetix (@sthetixofficial) Click "Highlights" then find the post that links his telegram channel. From there you can download the latest HATS pack.
As ALWAYS. I do NOT promote piracy. Only backup games for which you have the physical cartridges and are legally allowed. None of my opinions are legal advice.
