uLaunch

uLaunch is a custom, open-source Nintendo Switch HOME menu replacement/reimplementation!

​

This isn't some kind of HOME menu extension, injection, patch, etc.: uLaunch is an entire reimplementation (of key components), 100% open-source!

• For more detailed information, check uLaunch's GitHub repository: https://github.com/XorTroll/uLaunch​

• Releases: https://github.com/XorTroll/uLaunch/releases/latest​

Let uLaunch be the HOME menu Nintendo never bothered to make!

What does this foreground capturing mean? Can I record games?

Didn't inspect it a lot, but atleast for take screenshots through USB works, I don't know if are possible capture video too.

is there any way to get rid of these "unknown" ghost entries? They are not available when I launch HBmenu, only in uLaunch.

Those might be invalid or corrupted NROs...?

But only for dock, in handheld would be no sot fine with small font.

 

[Chocola]

It's possible make it responsive, like a webpages, detecting the current resolution and resizing or changing elements for handheld mode I guess xP

I gona try later xP

Home menu is always 720p. You need to use GetOperationMode or GetPerformanceMode to check if it's in handheld or docked mode.

And from what I checked uLaunch doesn't implement them.

That would be sick. Something that looks like "cover flow" from the OG iPod/iPod Touch would be cool too imo.

@XorTroll I would like to report an issue i'm experiencing with latest version of uLaunch: the game "Blacksad" always crashes just before the main menu. I am running latest version of hekate+atmo and the game works fine if i disable uLaunch.

Just out of curiosity, is the game on your NAND or SD card?

How to open horizon's settings menu?

@XorTroll can we define custom resolution of game icons or are they forced to be squares?
If we can, this should theoretically be possible, thanks to the custom icon feature described in these update notes:
https://github.com/XorTroll/uLaunch/releases/tag/0.2

The background would still be static though.
(because this mockup implies, it's a blurred out big picture of the currently selected game)

Unless I missed it we have the ability to create folders, but cannot delete them.

 

[Odyssethan]

Probably asking for a lot here but would it be possible to see the implementation of .apng compatibility for things like animated folders or backgrounds any time in the future? Just got into using uLaunch today and already love it and am having fun messing with custom themes!

Has there been any updates recently? Running the latest build appears to not launch homebrew for me. Running 9.2 with latest Kosmos. Launching homebrew launcher nsp causes an Atmosphere panic, and launching any homebrew through the native homebrew browser causes another panic. There are several commits posted, but no new builds. I plan on setting up a switch build environment, but if someone already has a build made, this would be appreciated.
