Wanted to do a quick write up for people on OSX. I had to ask around a lot on IRC today and wanted to share how I managed to get everything working:

Step One: Install Python 3

Step Two: Install Brew

Step Three: Install libusb in Terminal ('brew install libusb')

Step Four: Install pyusb in Terminal (sudo easy_install pyusb) (if this doesn't work try sudo python3 -mpip install pyusb)

Step Five: Download Fusee.bin and https://github.com/reswitched/fusee-launcher
https://github.com/reswitched/fusee-launcher

Step Six: Get your Switch into recovery (I had best luck stripping both ends of a decently thick copper wire I had around, like in the Fail Overflow image, and attached it to pin 10 (furthest away from the screen with the right joycon removed, and the other end attached to the metal of the fan housing at the top of the console). Power the system down and then hold volume +, press power. If you don't see the Nintendo logo you did it correctly. There won't even be a backlight. If you did it wrong keep trying.

Step Seven: Run the Python payload command in terminal after you navigate to the directory you have it in, AKA sudo python3 ./fusee-launcher.py fusee.bin

And you should be good to go.

that happens if you try to compile core boot on mac osx

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

make: *** [build/util/kconfig/mconf] Error 1

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

I'm pretty sure that only Linux requires it to be 3.0 (or you can patch the kernel to make 2.0 work). MacOS can do it over 2.0. But don't get too mad at me if I'm wrong.

no you right thats also the reason i want to do it on mac

Just for fun, has anyone tried this on a PC using Virtualbox (or similar) to run OS X ?

why you can simply do it without osx

For me it says: " can't open file './fusee-launcher.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory " if I run the " sudo python3 ./fusee-launcher.py fusee.bin " command. Can anyone please help me?

I tried on the Galaxy s8 with luck. There is a tutorial or website

cannot get it to work, please help

Oskarss-MacBook-Air:~ oskars$ sudo python3 /Users/oskars/Desktop/Switch/fusee/fusee-launcher.py fusee.bin
That payload doesn't exist!

What. Just cd into the right directory then python 3 fusee-launcher.py <path to the bin file>

Somebody's still using python instead of the web launcher on chrome?
It requires zero dependencies...

On Step 7 I'm receiving this message after typing the command line into terminal 'sudo: python3: command not found'.

Is it possible the installation needs to be done again? Just installed everything via terminal.

How would you do step 7? I have the fusee primary.bin and the fusee launcher, but I'm not sure how to import that. When I type the sudo python3 etc it says 'no such file or directory'.
