uLaunch

uLaunch is a custom, open-source Nintendo Switch HOME menu replacement/reimplementation!

​

This isn't some kind of HOME menu extension, injection, patch, etc.: uLaunch is an entire reimplementation (of key components), 100% open-source!

• For more detailed information, check uLaunch's GitHub repository: https://github.com/XorTroll/uLaunch​

• Releases: https://github.com/XorTroll/uLaunch/releases/latest​

Let uLaunch be the HOME menu Nintendo never bothered to make!

how about mention the features you think its lacking??

Ha didn't want to but I guess I will
1. Controller area
2. I would like to see a file browser and ftp server
3. easy background changes
4. slow load time when first switching from switch to homebrew
5. No album

By no way am I saying this is bad, In fact I think it is almost perfect for a v1 release

this looks so damn cool, going to try this tomorrow

Now we just need a new thread for themes. @yyoossk created a sweet Pokemon Yellow theme, complete with BGM.

thx!

I prefer keeping my stuff official, though it’s a nice project congrats

 

[RisingHopperZeroOne]

Just tried it and it looks amazing, thanks so much for your hard work.

A question because this uses less memory than the default home, would it save battery life or is it the same as the default one?

I would only use this if either it was Nintendo quality, or it gave some type of great improvement.

This is so cool! Going to hold of on testing it out myself for now, but will follow this closely! Thanks so much XT <3

WELL THERE GOES NNN

This really neat! I love it, and if I ever hack my switch this is gonna be one of the first things I do

Hey, would be interesting to see a theme like these in Ulaunch, obviously only if is possible to change the games art dimensions.

I guess ftp server and file browser are out of scope considering install/uninstall is.

Appreciate all the hard work you put into this, I will give it a try some time this week. Just a bit of advice from a graphic designer though, you might want to rethink your logo, the logo comes off as being a bit phallic.

amazing work!

This software is great, but doesn't the icon look rather... phallic? it looks like a vibrator

 

[Kubas_inko]

Hope this will be usable with sxos and can have animated themes ( more than now )

That depends on TX.

Why is that a bad thing? Vibrators give orgasms, if ulaunch can do the same.. great!

Full box art instead of square icons would be quite awesome

 

[BaamAlex]

Can i start the console without ulaunch? I mean with a pressed button at boot? I can't access the data management, but i don't want to remove that stuff.

would be nice to see a flow type gui with box art

This is great XorTroll!
there's some way you can see the UI changes without having to compile and release it on Nintendo Switch?
Something like the Yuzu emulator, for example.

This doesnt replace any internal system files am i right?
