Homebrew [Release] Homebrew Launcher with grid layout

[mashers]

Spoiler

@mashers try uploading your existing changes to GitHub. if you have to, copy it to OS X and use GH desktop.

here's a quick run down of the commands that I think are all that's needed for now. if something is confusing, I might be able to help.

setting up git:

git config --global user.name "mashers"
git config --global user.email "email address"

you should use the email address used on GitHub. if you don't want to, take a look at "Keeping your email address private"

clone the repository:

cd /path/to/some/place
git clone https://github.com/mashers/3ds_hb_menu
cd 3ds_hb_menu

make your changes! then each time:

git add <individual files, or just . for all the ones that were edited>
git commit -m "commit message"
git push -u origin master

THANK YOU! I've just got the changes pushed up from my Linux VM to GH! Beta 83 should now contain a working boot1.3dsx. Please could you reenable to online updater so I can test this?

manually get the latest version from the first post because a mistake happened.

 

[Phil5004]

It wont work on the latest Version too... and with the Original Homebrew Launcher it wont work too

Great! It works!

Everyone - the version on the online updater now works. If you are experiencing gridlauncher crashes on boot or when launching apps, please download the 3dsx on the first post, manually copy to your SD card, and then carry out an online update.

Then the problem is not the grid launcher. You probably need to update your hax to 2.5.

Does that mean it's merged with redhats fork or is it back to update 80?

It's merged. All of @RedHat's changes are working in the main gridlauncher fork now

Yess, thank you.

 

[mashers]

Oh, and in light of this morning's trauma around compiling and uploading to Git through Linux, I'll just put this here...

Now that that's solved, are you able to reproduce the bug I found, mashers? If you click the question mark to go to the about page, it seems to freeze the 3DS entirely, causing the user to have to use the "escape" combo (L+R+Down+B).

after a while, you do get pretty used to 'git add .', 'git commit -m "i did a thing"', and 'git push -u origin master'. I've never actually used GitHub desktop since I'm often using Linux for dev work.

also, you finally have your first "public contribution"! https://github.com/mashers maybe since something wasn't set up before. https://help.github.com/articles/why-are-my-contributions-not-showing-up-on-my-profile/

Yes, and I think I know the problem. RedHat changed the version from an int to a string. I've changed it back, but forgot to change the formatting string. I get compiler warnings about it, and I think that's what is causing it. I'm about to change it now and hopefully it will be fixed.

 

[ihaveahax]

I have a feeling there's still something broken with the updater, or the version publicly available. can anyone else tell me if the launcher has some issues after using it?

it looks like there's a problem with the help menu. @mashers are you getting it too?

I can't seem to read, it was already reported above this...

Oh, and one thing. I'm sorry if I sounded ungrateful in that last post. I really do appreciate all the work you've put into this launcher. I didn't mean to suddenly slap a bug report in your face, lol.

 

[mashers]

Help menu fixed now on my local copy. Will push up an update shortly

No, not at all! It's been stressful this morning since I managed to completely fuck the launcher, and was scrambling to get it working again. I really appreciate everybody's help, and you didn't seem ungrateful at all

Screw remembering git command lines

#!/bin/bash
# Save this to mylocalrepo/gitpush
git add .
git commit -m "$1"
git push -u origin master

then just do

./gitpush "Awesome commit!"

Just pushed beta 84, which fixes the crash on entering help.

Thank you for fixing it.

I noticed that too. Here is instructions if you want to make your own BGM.bin

1. Download an MP3/MP4/whatever you want as BGM.
2. Load it up in audacity/any audio editor.
3. Delete all of the tracks but one (If it is stereo, make it mono, for example. The result should leave you with a mono file.)
4. Edit how you like it (make it louder, longer, faster, stronger).
5. Change the project rate to 44100Hz if it isn't already.
6. Export it as a WAV (Microsoft) signed 16bit PCM file.
7. Rename it to BGM.bin and put it in your themes folder.

Thank you! Could you add it to OP?I think there will be people like me.
