I'm just using the legacy files, no hbl.nsp. I've tried other combinations, that's all I was saying. Still, hbl-config.ini doesn't seem to be doing anything. I've seen posts in this thread about hbl-config.ini being ignored, maybe that's what's happening? Didn't seem to see any solution to those posts though. Maybe it's an nx-hbloader issue? Either way I've now got a workaround opening the homebrew menu without hbloader, so don't worry about me.
did you use the replacement ones I linked?
