Homebrew Homebrew Launcher not working

[reymas101]

I just downloaded the homebrew appstore and updated my launcher from 1.3 to 1.4 but when I try to launch it I get a black screen that says one of the two things: ".ELF not found" or "FSopenfile failed" what am I doing wrong? (I'm on 5.5.1U and don't have CFW installed)

Did you check your SD card to see if you have homebrew_launcher.elf?

Did you check your SD card to see if you have homebrew_launcher.elf?

Yes. Maybe it's in the wrong directory? Should update it?

 

[lebrawurschd]

you probably got the rpx version and youre still trying to boot a elf

 

[reymas101]

you probably got the rpx version and youre still trying to boot a elf

So when I updated it the elf got replaced by an rpx file instead? Now it's saying it can't mount the SD

 

[lebrawurschd]

get youre sd in a pc and check if its got replaced b a rpx
how are you booting youre homebrew? browserhax or haxchi?

 

[reymas101]

The .elf hasn't been replaced. I'm using browserhax

 

[lebrawurschd]

and what site are you using to boot it ?

 

[reymas101]

and what site are you using to boot it ?

loadiine.ovh

 

[lebrawurschd]

youre trying to boot homebrew launcher 1.4 from the dropdown menu right?

 

[reymas101]

youre trying to boot homebrew launcher 1.4 from the dropdown menu right?

Yeah. When I select 1.3 everything works perfectly but I want to be able to book .rpx files so I'm trying to update and I select 1.4 launcher and updated the homebrew launcher alredy

 

[lebrawurschd]

yes 1.4 is even more unstable than 1.3 you should be able to boot rps using the 1.3 exploit since it still boots the 1.4 homebrew launcher on youre sd


=> About Homebrew Launcher 1.4 : Following some feedbacks we've received during this week-end, it seems that some people are encountering white screens issues trying to run the payload. For many of them, this was fixed by resetting browser's cookies on their WiiU, so if you encounter the same problem, try this solution first. On the other hand and even with a cleaned browser, the problem is still there for few users. While we take a look at this problem, we invite impacted people to run HBL 1.3 instead of 1.4 for the time being, as the bootrate is way better on it.
We apologize for the unconveniance caused.

from loaddiine.ovh xD

you also could just get haxchi worth the 7 bucks no crashes anymore

Alright. Thanks! What's the "1.3 exploit"?

 

[lebrawurschd]

go to loadiine ovh and select homebrew launcher 1.3 it still can crash but its more stable than 1.4 it dosent matter for you it still loads youre 1.4 elf

But I won't be able to load .rpx files right?

 

[lebrawurschd]

it will be able to boot rpx files its just the web based exploit that loads youre homebrew launcher on sd wich is able to run rpx files

 

[reymas101]

I downloaded a (retroarch) emulator for my Wii U which contains an rpx file but the Homebrew launcher doesn't read it

 

[lebrawurschd]

well you also could get the elf version xD
im glad that ive got rid of the browser exploit long time ago

Where would I get the .elf version? They all seem to be .rpx or .a files
