Hello everyone, the new release with the much requested USB support is finally here! (Couldn't have done it without @DarkMatterCore's usb library) It's worth mentioning since it is such a big update (backend changes and FS refactor) there *may* be some issues, but the only way I can find and fix those is through you guys! However rest assured, I did run a lot of tests myself to make sure it is functioning as expected. If I waited a month, it would've been exactly 2 years since the last release .

Change-log:

• FS:
  • Added support for browsing USB devices.
  • Switched back to libc to handle FS operations.
  • Brought back support for browsing other devices such as safe, user and system.
• GUI:
  • Update to imGui v1.88.
  • Switch to imGui's new keyEvent API.
  • The two views (File Browser and Settings) can now be navigated as tabs.
  • Switched from list view to a table view using imGui's table API.
  • Sorting is no longer applied from settings, it can be done directly by clicking on the table column headers.
  • A new selector has been added to allow the user to switch to different devices such as safe, user, USB etc.
  • Settings are no longer categorized by imGui's tree system.
  • No longer uses SDL2 as a backend, but instead uses opengl v3 directly (along with egl).
• Fixes:
  • Properly delete config file if the config file version is outdated.
  • Properly free textures after exiting application.
  • Fixed scrolling via the right joystick after zooming into an image.
  • Lots of code clean up and under the hood changes that are too many to list here.

A forwarder is an app to be installed that loads an NRO from a specified location and launches the tool or HB menu in high memory mode. This is similar to the "Title Override" which is done by starting any installed title while holding down the R button. I have attached a HB-menu forwarder which accesses the hbmenu.nro in the SD-card root when it is installed. All HB applications started over it will be executed in high memory mode.

Thanks. Just put the extracted files into root of SD card or I need to do something else?

You have to install the HomebrewMenu.nsp file via an NSP installer to be able to start the forwarder from the home menu. Also, the hbmenu.nro must be present in the SD card root.
The HomebrewMenu.nsp file can also be deleted after installation.

where is the hombrewmenu nsp for 3.5?

After almost a 2 year break and hundreds of crashes later, you can expect an update on NX-Shell soon. This is going to be a much needed update, with a lot of user friendly changes and under the hood changes as well. This will probably will be the last major update because I didn't want to leave this project dead as it is. (You can expect the occasional bugfixes/hotfixes if necessary) Here are some screenshots:

Awesome your back and picking the project back up. Keep it up. Just quick question. Are you gonna implement some way to be able to manage files on an external hdd/flashdrive?

The spoiler in my post earlier should answer your question.

So happy to hear NX-Shell is not done for, it’s pretty much appreciated, at the same time it being the last major update leaves out the chances of including a text editor :c

Thanks as always! Look forward to testing.

I’m testing it and I like the smaller font, it allows to check files quickly in less scrolls.
I’m having problems with the B button though, I’m so used to use it to go to previous folder, now I need to scrolling up until “..”, it could be possible set the ZR (or R) to change the focus to select Device or Settings? And leave B to go to the previous folder?

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that was removed, because pressing "B" will take you out of the filebrowser tab, and I don't want to mess too much with imGui code. That's why ".." will be the only way to go back up.

great update bro.

@Joel16 , my friend. I'm not a member of the switch scene, but I saw your name, and I just had to respond. It's nice to see you're still developing. How have you been?
