Homebrew [Release] Homebrew Launcher with grid layout

[mashers]

The reason NSMB2 Gold Edition isn't on 3dsdb.com is because it isn't a scene released game

I see. I used my carts of Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and Animal Crossing New Leaf to check the values being passed between the menus in the launcher, and the values being read from my carts corresponded precisely with what was on 3dsdb.com. So perhaps if there are games which have been scene released which @JJTapia19 has then we can use these games to check what is being logged when launching those duplicate titles.

I was just about to test but I noticed something weird. I'm using a legit bought from eshop cia of olliolli US but the title id does not match with the one in the log file.
Log file is ID: 1125899908260864
3dsdb.com is :000400000015A400

svdt also shows 000400000015A400 OlliOlli

That's because the log file contains the title ID in decimal (actually it's a C u64 (unsigned long long data type)) whereas 3dsdb.com shows it as a hexadecimal byte which is what is used to transfer the title ID to the save manager. Don't worry, if you can just post the decimal values in the log file from the launcher then I can convert them to check against 3dsdb.com.

Thank you, I'll check all those out now. Just to be clear, what do you mean by "Log file is ID: 1125899908260864"? Which title produced that ID and did it work?

Oh ok, no problem. Just checking it out now.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Well, none of the IDs match what's on 3dsdb.com, but that might be because the title on 3dsdb is from a cart and yours is eShop. Do you have a cart you can test with?

Save manager is now working perfectly on my Euro 10.1 orig 3ds thanks Mashers

That's fantastic, glad it sorted it out. Thanks so much for posting to let me know it works now

Yes I have game carts but those are not getting duplicates.

 

[mashers]

Oh yeah of course

Ok, does the original HBL or Suloku's launcher have the same problem?

 

[Shadowtrance]

Besides the duplicates issue and font sizing issues this is shaping up to be pretty good

Opening SVDT title list gives me duplicates of:

Eshop (2)
YouTube (2)
Pokemon Rumble World (4)
NSMB2 Special Edition (4)

Tested with Suloku's hl mod and I noticed I don't get duplicates but any of my unoficial cias show up. I then went to my cfw and then to the homebrew launcher again and this time all of the cias Offial and Unofficial are showing up. I tried the same steps of entering the CFW first and then your hl Mod and It works without duplicates!!

Sulokus mod hides the unoficial cias when I'm not on CFW.
With your mod they get replaced by duplicates if I'm not on CFW instead of being hidden

 

[mashers]

I was just about to post to say that I think this must have something to do with Emunand and I can't reproduce the problem as I can't run CFW on my 3DS, but then I noticed that I have duplicates of "AR Games"! The first one works, but the second one doesn't. Weirdly, on my device the second (non-working) one doesn't crash the 3DS - it does get to the save manager, but no title is selected when it loads.

Could I ask a really annoying favour...? Those of you have the issue of duplication, could you please test ALL of your duplicates and let me know if the first occurrence of each is always the one that works?

Ok! I'll have a look at Suloku's source code to try and figure out how he did it

 

[BurningDesire]

@mashers SVDT works now! However I am getting some duplicated titles just for you information Great work man!

Edit: There is also a bit of lag while opening it up.

 

[Shadowtrance]

Yeah i just confirmed what @JJTapia19 said. Boot straight to HB Menu and get duplicates in place of non legit cia's. Boot CFW first THEN boot HB Menu and the duplicates are gone and show what they actually are instead. With the exception of eshop, i have 2 of those still for some reason.

I tested With 7 different titles that have duplicates and the first one is always working.

That's great to know. I should therefore be able to just check if a title with the same name already exists in the list before adding it (and ignore if if there is...).

 

[Vague Rant]

Just tried this out today, looking very usable at this point, great work, @mashers.

Re: app duplication, I'm on a "clean" (i.e. no CIAs) sysnand and am seeing one app duplicated: AR Games. I don't see the duplicate when using suloku's hbmenu, but there is a visible judder between AR games and the next entry which doesn't appear between other titles; so there does appear to be something weird going on with AR Games.

On the menu in general, besides the cosmetic tweaks that have been discussed to death, the only couple of things I'd really love to see are remembering the last homebrew launched and possibly an option for the d-pad not to trigger paging. I'd like the d-pad to (optionally) stick to the current page with L/R or the touch buttons being the only paging methods.

EDIT: I skipped a full thread page when I wrote this, I'm reading it now.

About duplicate titles, the titles you posted seem valid, but @mashers you should consider logging them as hex text ("%016llX") for u64. Also, some kind of debug values that get printed on the upper screen would be useful, maybe if a file "griddebug" exist in the root of sdcard of something, just an idea there.

Also, do any of those issue happen with my title launcher mod? https://gbatemp.net/threads/homebrew-title-launcher-hbl-mod.398765/
Also, it should display the title ID on the fly.

About titles, all installed titles are cia, it's just the installable format name as far as I know. Each title ID is composed of the "high" ID (32 bits) which identifies the kind of title (00040000 for "games" and others, 00040020 for demos and 00040010 for system titles, which are the ones HBL filter recognizes). There're other kind of titles like DLC and such, but I don't think they have an interest. I should try to see what happens when browsing all titles, no filter.

Anyway, about duplicates, without seeing the source I can't think a reason why it happens.

EDIT2: ok, so using cfw before that solves the recognition problems. May have something to do with non legit tickets. Those seeing duplicates when not under CFW, are the number of titles always the same?

I mean, If you get 4 NSMB gold edition titles, when you run under cfw, do the other 3 duplicates disappear or are they replaced with actual CIA titles?

And those who get duplicate titles under svdt, do they appear also if you launch svdt from vanilla (unmodified) HBL?
