A while ago, I finally got my jig printed so that I could start hacking my switch, but due to my severe lack of windows pcs, I had to use the Fusee Gelee web launcher made by atlas44. I thought the website looked bland, and I didn't like how the only example payload was just a test. So I now present you with two releases in one:

The Website
My updated website based on atlas44's, is a big CSS improvement and looks improvement. I made most of the elements on the page have some sort of styling, and changed the font away from Times New Roman. There are a lot of javascript edits and such as well.
Features:

1. Previously mentioned CSS edits
2. You can now log a payload as bytes (Mostly for my purposes, since that's how I build them into the site)
3. 3 New built-in payloads have been added, including Hekate v4 and v5, and...

The Payload
I made a modified version of hekate ipl, which immediately boots into CFW, unless you hold minus before booting (Just like how you would hold vol up for rcm) in which case, it will just boot normal hekate ipl. This is mostly just a convenience payload, since I have about +A gagillion files downloaded and its a pain to sort through them to upload a payload, especially when testing homebrew.
It also supports splash screens, which will appear briefly before booting.

How to make a splash screen
Making a splash screen is very simple. Download the payload source code, and enter tools/convert_image. Make sure you have Python 3, not 2 installed, and run

python(3) convert.py ./image/path.png

. Then put the resulting splash.txt onto your SD Card root, and you're set! Be aware that this will resize the image to 1280x720p, although that should be obvious.

Planned Features:
Splash screen for the payload! That's why theres a 5 second wait time on the payload because in its place is going to be a splash when its ready.
General code cleanup on both ends
Releasing the source for the payload. The only reason its not already out is just because it's a total mess and I haven't even set up a repository for it yet. I can assure you I only changed the amount of lines necessary to make it work. Ill report back with a repo ASAP

Downloads/Links:
The website is here, and the payload releases are here.

Source:
Here is the web launcher code (despite the fact that there's no backend so you can just view-source: :/)
And here is the payload code

Huge thanks to Atlas44 for the original website!​

so for those of us on 3.0.x, we still need to wait for a hekate port for cfw, right?

probably yes, somehow ive managed to be completely out of the know in any regard about how 3.0 cfw/hbmenu works. sorry.

Hey, could you perhaps look at my pull request for an italian translation in the /it_IT subdirectory?

 

[Enovale]

Based on @Jayro 's comment and my own thoughts, I take it that I should get rid of the 5 second wait, but i still want to keep the splash. So the splash will only appear for as long as the switch is booting cfw

edit: wtf just happened lol

oh ok, ill check te github in a sec.

I don't understand the "but due to my severe lack of windows pcs" part. Fusee works on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android. What were you using that necessitated the use of the website based launcher? ChromeBook?

 

[Hazersub]

and it would be possible via an otg or USB to send the charge without a PC or Android

I have a Mac, but I was usually in a situation where I didn't have said mac when I wanted to launch a payload. Also idk how to use fusee on mac/linux/whatever, didnt know that was even possible, I just saw that website and stuck to it.

I have access to a windows pc now, It was a more short term lack of windows.

 

[Hazersub]

so with a USB key type c there will be way to launch the load without pc and without android?

@boostnek The banner should be fixed now... Can anyone with a 1080p resolution monitor or higher confirm?

Yep, seems fine now

Splash screens are implemented!

You'll have to convert your image to a .txt using a tool ill provide, then put it on your SD root.

But I have to work out some kinks, but I also have to work on some personal work.

Ill get this released along with the source as soon as possible, sometime today but I can't promise when.

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

It should be merged and have a link on the main page.

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

also to everyone using this, I should have made this clear at the get-go, you need the sdfiles.zip files on your SD card for this to work, and you cant modify your ini file. (CFW has to be the second option), im thinking of putting the ini and launcher in the payload itself, we'll see

Not to be too criticical, but the white text + hyperlinks over the banner image of the Joycon looks... Not good

yeah they kinda do lol.

what color do you suggest for text? Black is no good since the switch background photo* is black. And Ill style the links to be the same color, just underlined.

You could always use a linear-gradient, basically tinting/darkening the background image a bit so that the text is more readable.

I could, but I kinda like the brightness level of it as it is now.

@bmlzootown I like your avatar, Salem the cat is awesome

A standard dumb USB memory stick wouldn't be able to send the payload, but it's possible to build a homemade dongle that would. e: Look here for investigation of that, seeing as it's off-topic for this thread.

I don’t understand this what’s the real benefit? Does this access rcm without the jig or modding your joy con? I’m not sure what it’s supposed to do. You have to access Cfw through your mod anyway and plug your lead in to load the payload so am I to presume it just saves pressing + & power button? really if that’s the case I’ve seen it all now!

If all you've got to work with is a standard html editor, then I guess the best thing you could do is add a background shadow to the text. Either that or an outline. Both could be achieved by either duplicating the text and shifting it slightly or duplicating every letter and upscaling it, again, if there's no better way

Reading is hard, right?
The standard payloads bring up a menu, of which one of the options boots into the patched OS.
This payload skips the menu and boots straight into the patched os, unless you press a button in which case it brings up the menu.
