if not supported upgrade to 5.3.2. from disk.....options are for euro.....splatoon.....yoshis woolly world ....kirby /paintbrush....amongst other's...Turned on my Wii U yesterday, after several months in sleep. Just to see it at firmware 5.3.0.
Does the HBL support it?
@Kingcool ... Be sure to block online updates, before going any further! Then, you can proceed to updating to v5.3.2 from a disc! See the following link for disc update info and precautions: https://gbatemp.net/threads/the-definitive-guide-to-wii-u-hacking.396828/if not supported upgrade to 5.3.2. from disk.....options are for euro.....splatoon.....yoshis woolly world ....kirby /paintbrush....amongst other's...
All launched homebrew will automatically return to the launcher when exiting them.
Launching Miimaker will reload the Homebrew launcher, except with Loadiine which will reload loadiine. you need to exit loadiine (home button) to return to the homebrew launcher.
ATM, that is the way it works...I haven't been able to do this:
For some reason when I press the Home button from any game it prompts me to close Mii Maker, and when I go back to Mii Maker I get Loadiine.
Someone knows how I can do so?
What I want to do is be able to go back to the Homebrew Launcher when I press the Home Button while inside Loadiine.
(Note that I boot Loadiine from inside the HBL)
the part you quoted is correct and doing what you explained.For some reason when I press the Home button from any game it prompts me to close Mii Maker, and when I go back to Mii Maker I get Loadiine.
look : if you launch a homebrew, it exits back to the launcherAll launched homebrew will automatically return to the launcher when exiting them.
Launching Miimaker will reload the Homebrew launcher, except with Loadiine which will reload loadiine. you need to exit loadiine (home button) to return to the homebrew launcher.
So pressing Home Button while playing a game from Loadiine from the HBL boots back to the Home Menu?are you sure it's like this?
I thought exiting a game would just exit to the home menu, not to miimaker.
it's really prompting users to exit to miimaker? not just "return to home menu" ?
The game is not coded to prompt "return to miimaker", I find it strange that a game would suggest that.
the part you quoted is correct and doing what you explained.
look : if you launch a homebrew, it exits back to the launcher
Exiting homebrew using the proper "exit" command :
Launcher -> ftpii -> exit > it reloads the homebrew launcher
If you are on the home menu (exiting homebrew launcher, and then exiting miimaker) :
launcher -> whatever you do -> back to home menu -> run miimaker manually to reload the homebrew launcher.
But launching miimaker is also what loadiine is using to reload loadiine, so if you just want to load another game you shouldn't return to the launcher but to loadiine.
So we made miimaker launch loadiine in priority :
launcher -> loadiine -> game -> exit to home menu -> run miimaker to reload loadiine
If you want to reload the launcher when you use loadiine, you need to "exit" while being inside loadiine, not inside the game:
> home menu -> run miimaker to reload loadiine > press home button to exit loadiine back to homebrew launcher
maybe it's the "launching miimaker" which is confusing ?
Should I add "from the home menu" ?
Launching miimaker from the main menu (while not inside an application) will reload the homebrew launcher.
If it helps on something, all DS VC games do the same thing if you change the Render Scale option to 2 instead of 1 in the config.json file.yes, that's like Wii USB Loaders, the games has the normal options.
On Wii, the games are patched to replace the "exit to system menu TitleID" to another TitleID (Usually a forwarder channel titleID).
There's currently no known way to patch WiiU games to do the same and reload miimaker directly instead of exiting the game.
Freeze when exiting to home menu can probably be fixed. I guess dimok didn't had time to take a look yet why Mario Kart 8 is freezing at exit too. it could be linked to your issue.
Now that I'm thinking about it, you must be correct. I'll double-check when I get home, though.are you sure it's like this?
I thought exiting a game would just exit to the home menu, not to miimaker.
it's really prompting users to exit to miimaker? not just "return to home menu" ?

Any plans on making the launcher theme-able? I'd love to make a System Settings-style theme.
Those are GX2 themes, not Homebrew Launcher themes.I think it will be implemeted, but for now there are compiled theme:
JF Santos Jfsaints GX2 0.2 Themes:
Neutrality, Splatoon, Super Mario, Zelda.
Angel Mercader GX2 0.2 Theme:
Xenoblade.
edit:
download on Wii U en Facebook.
Sorry, I misunderstood your question, but only Dimok or Cyan can answer about the this.Those are GX2 themes, not Homebrew Launcher themes.
Not to mention they all look fucking disgusting.
Hah. You're joking, right? Without discussing our opinion on them, we're never gonna have good GX2 themes.About the Themes: Tastes are not discussed.
Loading pictures from the resources path is already implemented (I didnt test it though but it should work). The images are loaded from "sd/wiiu/apps/homebrew_launcher/resources/" path.It's currently not automatically loading the pictures from an external folder, you need to recompile the sources with the new pictures.
Maybe later it will be updated to use theme packs, or just loads pictures from a path.
There's a "data" folder with used images.
https://github.com/dimok789/homebrew_launcher/tree/master/data
There's currently two different themes (images and images2)
you need to put the wanted theme in the "images" folder and compile it.
