uLaunch - custom, open source Nintendo Switch HOME menu reimplementation

uLaunch

The themeable Nintendo Switch HOME menu Nintendo forgot to make



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



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

I've been waiting for this update for a while!

I'm already trying to make themes, I'm sharing this one I made for this new version!

That doesn't really mean anything. It all depends how much you've been writing to it and how high quality the brand is.
it's a sandisk sd card, I only take it out and use my sd card reader if I wanna put homebrew on it that requires external files like the switch port of gzdoom or NXengine-evo (cave story)

One bug I’m noticing @XorTroll new game carts inserted won’t populate on the ulaunch Home Screen

My copy of Dave the diver just came in, and could not be accessed via ulaunch until I opened the game cart once on the official Home Screen

uScreen doesn't seem to work for me:

1. Enabled/restarted
2. Installed LibUSBk driver
3. Only white screen
4. USB 3 - on/off

No display on uLaunch or in game (using sysdvr patches).

uScreen only shows white screen. Screenshot only generates 4kb file.

Hello,

I’m running firmware version 18.1.0 (EmuMMC) and recently downloaded the latest release from GitHub, "1.0.0 - A Brand New Era."

After booting up my Switch, the home menu appears empty, and my installed games are not listed. How can I make them appear?

Additionally, when I add a homebrew application to the home menu (such as Checkpoint), the icon displays as a question mark instead of the original icon. How can I fix this?

Also, icons like the profile page that I see in screenshots are not present on my home menu.

When opening the album via submenu it stays on a black screen. (fixed after reboot)

Thanks in advance for your help! :)

Do you guys have names on your folders? I seem to only be able to see the name once they are open..
Ideally we'd be able to set a game icon as the folder icon or maybe set a custom one, but at least we need to be able to see a name or a first letter like the 3DS.

So I've known about uLanch for a long time and have never tried it. But with what the v.1.0.0 version showed, I am now really interested in giving this a shot. But I'm wondering, does anyone know if this works with the Tesla overlay?
