Getting hbmenu from 1.0.0 to 3.0.0

Disclaimer: This comes with absolutely no warranty. Try this stuff at your own risk.

Here goes a little tutorial on getting hbmenu working on firmware 1.0.0 and up to 3.0.0.

Requirements:
- A switch with FW 1.0.0 or up to 3.0.0
- PegaSwitch access
- loader.pfs0 renamed to loader.nsp (you can build it from source) Download: Google Drive
- hblauncher.nro - Official website

Step one

Put hblauncher.nro and loader.nsp in the root of your MicroSD

Step two
Launch PegaSwitch with your favourite method

Step three
Run this javascript snippet: https://pastebin.com/UBLJsgse
To do this, save that snippet to a javascript file and call it something like "hbmenu.js", then from PegaSwitch run:
Code:
evalfile usefulscripts/hbmenu.js

Step four

Close your browser and open the Gallery App. Hbmenu should launch

Credits
Not me. I merely compiled loader.pfs0 and wrote this guide.
@TuxSH from ReSwitched for coming up with that JavaScript snippet this guide uses.
@BL4Z3D247 for pointing me in the right direction.
Of course Plutoo and Yellows8 for Homebrew Launcher (hbmenu)

This was tested on my 1.0.0 launch day Switch. Report here your results.

Post note: As other people confirmed (and to no one surprise) the majority of Homebrew designed for 3.0.0 surely won't work.

so i am on 2.3.0 so i still SOL i guess unless i have PPT right?
guess i will have to wait a little longer

Please pardon my ignorance, but, could you tell me what SOL stands for, please? (I get that PPT is Puyo Puyo Tetris, but I couldn't find anything on SOL)

Also, I'm on 2.0.0, I thought the only way of getting HBC was to be on 1.0.0 or 3.0.0, can the firmwares inbetween get HBC now?

For those who asked: you steel need Puyo Puyo Tetris S (JAP) in order to launch the browser the first time.
Also on 1.0.0 you should set

{"sdbcore":false}

in PegaSwitch's config.json

Tried it but get Error Code 2162-0002 when opening Album on my 1.0.0 machine.
Pegaswitch (launched via fake news) returns no output after running hbmenu.js but I expect that is normal.
SD is formatted to FAT32 with the 2 files on root.
Any idea what I maybe doing wrong?

WAIT - I didn't read/rename the file... one sec!

Yeah - works fine after renaming the file to nsp. I was just being an idiot.
So I tested some nros before my battery ran out.

Hamsters DX - works
Zelda Solarus - works until just after entering name and selecting profile (2345-0021)
Pixel Painter - works
TicTacToe - works
SpaceNX - fails immediately 2162-0002
