Link
Due to changes in the way firmware 9.0.0 handles user input homebrew will have to be recompiled to function correctly using this firmware. Read the changelog to make sure the homebrew you're using has been updated to work on 9.0.0 if you're using firmware 9.0.0 or newer.

Description

Rocks'n'Diamonds is a Boulderdash type game by Holger Schemel for your homebrew enabled Nintendo Switch hybrid video gaming console with many unique features, such as the ability to play remade levels from Boulderdash, Emerald Mine and Supaplex and many more levels.

Instructions

*   extract `rocksndiamonds_data.zip` and `mirrormagic_data.zip` to the folder `switch/` in the root of your sd card. You should have folders such as `switch/rocksndiamonds/levels` and `switch/mirrormagic/levels` and more. Make sure none of the folders or files has the "archive" flag set after copying.

*   copy `rocksndiamonds.nro` to `switch/rocksndiamonds/` and `mirrormagic.nro` to `switch/mirrormagic/`

*   use nsp injection to start the games, otherwise the on-screen keyboard will not work. On SX OS, you can do this by holding down R while launching any installed game to make hbmenu appear.
