I was thinking of doing something similar, I still might. Looks good, though :3

Because there's a multitude of IOSU kernel exploits and only one or two PPC kernel exploits, don't come complaining when you're fucked over in 6.2.1 because you've used up everything
Replace the Kool Aid Man's face with a Lenny face and you're goldenSo for the homebrew icon
this was inspired by Smea. Not final
Would love to use this! sadly I am on 5.5 anyways keep up the great work! love seeing this on the wii u!Homebrew Launcher for WiiU
The homebrew launcher for WiiU is finally here !
This homebrew launcher is developed by Dimok.
It allows you to list and launch elf files located on your SD card, but is also compatible with elf files sent to the WiiU though the network.
It's compatible with WiiU 5.3.2 and 5.4.0
5.5.0 doesn't work because the Homebrew Launcher require a kernel patch to get enough memory to launch other homebrew.
Download
Releases : https://github.com/dimok789/homebrew_launcher/releases
Sources: https://github.com/dimok789/homebrew_launcher
Installation
Download and extract the wiiu folder from the release package to the root of your SD card.
It should look like this:
SD:/wiiu/apps/homebrew launcher/homebrew_launcher.elf
SD:/wiiu/apps/homebrew launcher/icon.png
SD:/wiiu/apps/homebrew launcher/meta.xml
Host the "www" folder and run the browser exploit twice to launch it.
How to setup your SD card
the Homebrew Launcher lists all elf files located in this folder:
sd:/wiiu/apps/<folder you want>/
It will read these 3 files:
Filename.elf
meta.xml
icon.png
The meta.xml is the same format used by The Homebrew Channel (Wii)
The icon.png is twice the size (256x96px) as HBC.
How to send elf from the network
You can send elf file directly to your console though your wifi connection.
Currently, only SendElf has been tested.
How to compile elf file for this Homebrew Launcher
A hello world example is available here:
https://github.com/dimok789/hello_world
You can also check the ftpiiU or even homebrew launcher sources.
All launched homebrew will automatically return to the launcher when exiting them.
Limitation
Currently only ELF files of up to 6.5 MB are supported.
Is my homebrew compatible?
You will probably have to recompile your project to make it compatible with this homebrew launcher.
if you compiled your application to be located at the address 0x00802000 it will work.
You can specify the address by editing the linker parameter like this:
-Wl,--section-start,.init=0x00802000
Is loadiine working?
Yes.
Loadiine and ftpiiU have been tested.
Launching Miimaker will reload the Homebrew launcher, except with Loadiine which will reload loadiine. you need to exit loadiine (home button) to return to the homebrew launcher.
Help wanted
We are looking for new, better, icon for the homebrew launcher.
if you are a designer or can just produce a better result than the default icon, please submit your icon.
We are also open to any new suitable background sound.
I'm not late to the Wii U homebrew scene like I was for the Wii. (at least when the 5.5.X exploit comes out)

Perfect. This is the pinnacle of Wii U hacking right here. I didn't think I'd live to see this daythanks for the generous donation...
here you go>.>
I know you provided a hello world example, so maybe I am dense, but do you think you could provide an example of what an ELF-producing Makefile looks like for one of the libwiiu examples, such as this hello world's Makefile?
For instance I get:
Code:
src/../../../libwiiu/src/coreinit.h:42:2: error: #error "Unsupported Wii U software version"
#error "Unsupported Wii U software version"
^When I remove -DVER from CFLAGS
