Hacking [Tool] Fusée Gelée Launcher for MacOS

[playpopo]

I receive the same error when installing tkinter
"Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tkinter (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for tkinter"

Ignored it and everything was working fine.

My setup: 2016 MBP, macOS HighSierra, apple usb c cable <-> switch

Well I still get: "Traceback (most recent call last):

File "fusee-launcher.py", line 424, in <module>

switch = RCMHax(wait_for_device=arguments.wait, vid=arguments.vid, pid=arguments.pid)

And I don't understand.

Got the same problem. Any workaround out there?

Finally! Now I can stop using that version on chrome. Thanks!

What happens when you run this command?

python3 -m tkinter

Does a small window pop up? If so, you already have tkinter installed.

yes the window pops up, but the "no backend error" is still there.

Do you need to install some drivers in order for mac to detect the switch APX like what zadig is doing in windows?

No, not needed on MacOS, this is all handled by the python libraries.

so all i need is python in order for mac to detect apx/switch console?

Well python and all the libraries listed in the first post (libusb, pyusb and tkinter).

So without all these libraries installed, Switch wont be detected by just MacOS itself? Or only this app?

MacOS by itself won't see your Switch in RCM mode. When you run the python script, the script itself will use those libraries to scan your USB ports and locate your Switch - it is only visible through this app (i.e. the script will not transform your Switch into a standard USB device that you can mount like any USB stick). Those libraries are needed for the script to be able to read the USB ports. Without them the script won't work.

Fusée Gelée Launcher for MacOS
This is a simple launcher for the ReSwitched team's fusee-launcher.

It contains no payloads. You must download and place the payloads in the "Payloads" directory.

Dependencies:
(All of these can be installed using ihaveamac's guide here.)

• Python 3
• libusb
• pyusb
• tkinter

1. Install brew via https://brew.sh
2. Install Python 3 and libusb: brew install python libusb
3. Install pyusb: python3 -mpip install pyusb
4. Install tkinter: python3 -mpip install tkinter
--note-- tkinter is installed on most Python3 installations by default

Usage

1. Navigate to my repository here
2. Click the green button that says "Clone or download"
3. Download ZIP
4. Find where the ZIP file downloaded and extract it.
5. In the folder that was extracted place your Fusée payloads in the "Payload" folder.
6. Enter RCM mode on the Switch (this will not be covered here)
7. While in RCM mode, connect the Switch to a USB port on the computer (using a hub will likely not work!)
8. Run one of the .command files by double-clicking on them.
9. If using macOS launch.command, the script will list the available payloads (make sure they're in the Payloads folder).
10. Type the name of the payload, including the .bin

Notes
- I'm doing my best to learn scripting and programming. I know this isn't the most professional thing in the world and can be improved. I just made something for myself to use and figured it would work well for others, too. My work pales in comparison to that which I'm building off of.

• The entire ReSwitched team, of course
• SciresM in particular, whom I really look up to as a programmer and as a person
• @gbazone on GBATemp and his OS X tutorial
• If I forgot anyone else I'm sorry - I love you too, don't worry! Let me know and I'll credit you here.

Find the .bin format payload and put it in the "Payload" folder. Then, just double click on the macOS Launch.command file. Make sure you install the dependencies beforehand, as listed on the GitHub page.

IIRC I needed to explicitly use python 3 installed through Homebrew, the system-installed python didn't seem to work.

Yup, the system one is python 2.7, not 3

 

[stewacide]

Is Fusee-Gelee itself going to be added to the Homebrew repo?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by this.

You don't need Windows at all for this software. It is completely standalone. Just follow the directions under "Usage" on the GitHub download page.
