Yes, that and the loader.pfs0(renamed to loader.nsp).

Guys, sorry for what I know it is a very obvious question with a very obvious answer that is under my nose all the time but, where do I find the updated HBL that works with 1.0.0 - 3.0.0, I searched for it but wasn't able to find it

Just use the latest release (it's 2.0 at the moment of writing):
https://github.com/switchbrew/nx-hbmenu/releases/download/v2.0.0/nx-hbmenu_v2.0.0.zip

And get this:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Q4wIx5ZNe9qy7pwL7F-79XPnoAKSmkxd
rename the file to loader.nsp

Thank you! this worked like a charm.

after a lot of trial and error (had never used Bash on Win10), I was able to launch the HBM on a 2.2.0 Switch! thanks!!

Tomorrow I'll do some tests, but:
- RetroArch crashes. No output
- SD Access is possible (LovePotion games work)
- The .nros that work crash sooner or after :C

Noticed this on the Reswitched discord from stuck_pixel

https://github.com/pixel-stuck/reboot_to_rcm

Has anyone here on 1.0 tried it yet?
I’ll give it a go later.
Sounds great if you can enter rcm mode thru an app.
Expect as you run it from Album it is invoked similarly to the way we’re doing homebrew app (nspwn?)

Just tried it and got a black screen which I think is the right thing.
BTW easy to do, just grab the precompiled nsp from Reswitched discord and edit the hbmenu.js in the OP to point to this nsp instead of the homebrew loader.

Now I need to setup VMWare I guess to load the exploit via USB but I guess it does seem that for 1.0.0 you don't need any wires.

BTW, has anyone tried setting up USB in VirtualBox with these instructions..
I found https://www.wintips.org/how-to-setup-usb-on-virtualbox-guest-oracle/
which may help in getting USB support for VBox as I already have that setup nicely so would be ideal if I could use that to load the payloads
but I'm getting issues in step 1.

Very interesting. Much much interesting.
But I would stay away from RCM for the time being as an end user. There is not anything of use to be done here for non-dev people.

Still, good having to know that there is a non-hardware way to get into RCM.

Thanks for the Guide. Works flawless on my 2.3.0 Switch. (Retroarch GBA and SNES work)

jose1209 · Apr 26, 2018

hi, i'm on 2.1.0
and i'm unable to set this up.

1st i tried with 8266 module and the https://github.com/RetroGamer74/ESP8266_Homebrew_2.0_Switch_Pegaswitch
with sd card without sd car etc nothing works i have the run and install command on the screen, the install give me a error message the run too.

i tried to set up pega with the virtual ubuntu image don't work either...

is there a bin for 8266 with the " javascript snippet: https://pastebin.com/UBLJsgse" ?

or at least to have a snes emu working on 2.1.0 without updating to 3.0.0 ?

i'm on a windows 10 machine.

thanks

snoofly · Apr 26, 2018

Hit a wall.
Have everything setup, HB menu is fine etc but some nros just fail immediately on 1.0.0.
Seems the more complex nros fail, simple ones run fine.
I guess it's some code execution access issue?
I did a fresh build from scratch of Retroarch snes and get error immediately on starting it.
But if they rely on sdbcore, how is it they're working on 2.1?

It's not working with that yet... Waiting for it too...

jose1209 · Apr 28, 2018

i finally did it,
the problem was i didn't disable the firewall.
now works fine.

tried
snes emu and pbfa

hope retrogamer74 make the bin for 8266, it will be easyer .

am stuck on this
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
what does that mean (am a windows user so can u clarify please)
Edit
i figure it out it worked for me perfectly v2.1

Hi mate,

just open notepad, copy and paste the hbm code, save the file, change the extension of the file to .js and copy/move it here: C:\Users\[your windows username]\AppData\Local\Packages\CanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc\LocalState\rootfs\home\[yourlinuxusername]\pegaswitch\usefulscripts

The "CanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc" will be different if you are not using Ubuntu for Windows 10.

the created file is then run in the pegaswitch console window that you launched using linux bash - once you have your switch connected through Pegaswitch (by typing or pasting evalfile usefulscripts/hbmenu.js and pressing enter)

really appreciate your help it worked fine now

My crash count is super high, I barely get to see the menu. I'm on 1.0, anyone else?

edit: Nevermind, the presence of some homebrew just instacrashes the unit at hbmenu launch

If only we could get a payload that launches HBL in any firmware lol
