Changelog:

Features

• Added message boxes. The envGetLastLoadResult() output is now displayed during startup if needed (error returned by the application which ran last).
• Added nxlink support (netloader).
  • The Switch IP address can automatically be determined via UDP broadcast.
  • Netloader is handled on a seperate thread with non-blocking sockets. UI drawing is not blocked during the transfer.
  • The transfer can be aborted via 'Back' input.
  • If the transfer stopped without finishing, the file is deleted.
  • When returning to the main-menu from netloader, the menu is reloaded since the netloader NRO may have been deleted due to the transfer stopping.
  • Netloader status is displayed in a message-box while netloader is active. This include transfer progress and a progress-bar.
  • Fixed buffer overflow vuln with netloader args introduced with the original netloader commit (nothing useful which could cause a crash can be overwritten with an unmodifed nxlink). Fixed unrelated bounds check in launchAddArg() which broke once nxlink_host support was added.
• Use system shared-font. Note that the system language is still not used.
• Added touch-controls.
• Added support for themes loaded from SD. If the system theme is not recognized, the used theme will default to the dark theme.
• Added Theme Menu for selecting the used theme, including the default theme.
• Enabled time display, which uses local-time.
• The battery/charging status is now displayed.
• Added support for file-associations.

Other

• Replaced nanojpeg with libjpeg-turbo. See README regarding this.
• The switch/ directory is created if it doesn't exist. Config dirs on SD are now automatically created during startup if needed.
• Display an error screen with print-console instead of using fatalSimple, for errors during startup. Display a message-box in launchFile() for app-launching when an error occurs instead of using fatalSimple.
• Use applet exit-locking.
• Assets are now loaded from a .zip in RomFS instead of embedding it in data/.
• Built with libnx stable v1.5.0.
• Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments to enhance the user experience.

My bad I was confused with HBLOADER https://github.com/switchbrew/nx-hbloader/releases

 

[NoNAND]

That was quick
Nice to see improvents
Anyone has a nps?

 

[Bullseye]

I will update only due to the enhanced system stability.

Please I don't understand a thing, for homebrew what's loaded first ? hbl.nsp in atmosphere folder or hbmenu.nro from the root of the sd card ?
What is better between them ?

HBL loads the homebrew menu (hbmenu)

 

[Xyphoseos]

HBL loads the homebrew menu (hbmenu)

And hbl.nsp (I speak of a nsp that is not installed as others)?

 

[ZachyCatGames]

And hbl.nsp (I speak of a nsp that is not installed as others)?

That’s HBL (Homebrew Loader), which as I said earlier, loads hbmenu

 

[M7L7NK7]

hbl.nsp is for the pegaswitch exploit, do not try and install with tinfoil etc

With 2.0.0 hbmenu looked clean.

With 3.0.0 it looks like a jumbled mess.

- the font for the "back = B" indicator is bigger than the others
- how many percent of people to you expect to use netloader? 0,5? Why is this a first level menu entry on hbloader? Why does it say Netloader in big letters as if thats the most important thing I could do on the hbmenu screen
- come to think about it, why does it say B = back A = OK on the screen have we gone that far down the "our users NEED that" route? (If its been there before - strike this comment, and blame me noticing on the newer font)
- the hbloader signage in the top left corner looks "wrong" - might be the font, might be the alignment.

You dont have to "fix" those thing, but a little attention to detail goes a long way.

If this would have been linux, I'd have switched the distribution by now.

Honest as always -

n.

edit:

Just reverted to the previous version.

A = OK B = Back / was there before
B = Back / was in a bigger font already

- so I have to change my argument. With that much new text on screen, its become really obvious, that some menu itemssport a different font size. Also - the UI doesnt read clean anymore, still stands - imho of course.
