Just updated to the latest build and noticed a couple of things. On first load of launchiine from powering on the console it does not list all titles installed (I know because I've counted the tiles). The number of titles displayed on first launch is completely random, and differs every time you startup the console. Launching any title works great but then exiting that title and returning to launchiine seems to fix the issue because it then list every title installed. Still has random crashes but seems less than before and still lacks option to sort titles alphabetically (can't work out how the titles are being sorted as on first launch it's completely random like the title list). On second launch it seems to be sorting by TitleID in descending order.

In it's favor I now have over 600 titles installed on my WiiU (Mainly virtual console). No nag screen when I power on and on the second time loading launchiine I have full access to all the titles installed.

@Maschell keep up the good work.

Edit :- Complete English language collection + Updates + DLC + VC + Videos installed on 2tb external with left over space enough for the missing Japanese titles. All accessible on second load of Launchiine. Obviously that's of no interest to anyone as no one plays more than 300 WiiU games ;0)

This is the wii u project I've been waiting for! Finally, I can use all of the space on my external drive for wii games and have them all accessible! Thank you so much for your hard work! I can't wait to see what this looks like on release!

Just yesterday I found out about Tiramisu and replaced my Haxchi with it, today I thought "I really wish I had a better Wii U menu, I wonder if anyone has made a replacement and here it is. Keeping an eye on this space, good things coming to this little console!

@Maschell , I never understood what you meant by "make install." I did that with wut and libgui or whatever it's called, and they create a file, but the file is created in the folder I used for that github repository. it never moves to devkitpro's folder or anything, so I don't understand. I can make launchiine with docker, just not normally otherwise. it also seems to just sit there after making the file, never resolving itself to cmd line again or anything. it doesn't make any sense to me.
