Please help! I installed a bad theme, and now every time I try to boot it crashes, what can I do?
Solution
I may be really late here but this is to help others who have got in this same situation.
When the CFW crashes, it would give you a program report (see image attached, the program you will see will most likely be 1000000000001000). In your switch SD card, navigate to
SD > atmosphere > contents and find the program file stated on the crash report. Delete this file. If it crashes again, delete the new file stated and eventually it should be working. Your welcome, let me know if this does not work.
Thanks for providing a complete, and comprehensible answer to this question! Although I have become much more knowledgable in the homebrew scene in these past (almost) two years, I think that this is good info for newcomers having the same problem in the years to come.
Also, if NXThemesInstaller tells you it doesn't have updated/needed files for your firmware version (and your Switch is connected to internet to let it check for updated files automatically), that means your firmware version isn't supported yet, if you try to install themes anyway, the console won't boot, so don't waste time on it. Learned this the hard way.

Easiest method is deleting the theme
Depending on what qlaunch/menu parts you installed just delete them from SD:/atmosphere/contents/
Folders that can be removed https://layoutdocs.themezer.net/guide/menu-files/

Thanks, I only became part of the homebrew community last year and still learning, there's so much I'm not aware of but I'm happy to help in places I can

I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming+1 -

Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.+1 -

and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses) -

There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"

i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect

Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
- fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection) -

That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.+1

I live maybe 3 minutes from a Dairy Queen, so I would just go there for ice cream anything anyways. I usually get the Oreo Blizzard, or a Peanut Buster Parfait.
