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!

i've been anticipating this so much!! kudos to all your incredible work

 

[Haevens]

I'll test this right now!

Congrats on a launch and happy belated! Will check this out later.

Also how's the memory consumption compared to stock?

Edit: Launching as a title via Flog title replacement is genius. Took me a second to remember what that was.

Also how's the memory consumption compared to stock?

That's the best: thanks to my approach, uLaunch by itself only consumes 8MB of memory compared to original HOME menu's 56MB
And at the same time I have hw-accelerated graphics and a really cool UI, it's all explained in GitHub

sxos saying "This funcionality has been disabled" when my switch starts

Interesting stuff

sxos saying "This funcionality has been disabled" when my switch starts

That error has to do with Gateways new feature where they block the eShop title from launching. This project may be using/modifying eShop in a way that would trigger it.

EDIT: The issue may actually be the fact that this uses the hidden Flog as title as a "title replacement." As mentioned in the page after, it is indeed "ban-bait."

This is amazing! Its like a lightweight qlaunch alternative that both looks better and has more features! And its even open source! I really appreciate your work man!

 

[gnmmarechal]

Nice, I'll try it out!

Fantastic!! This is going to become the normal dashboard for most modders. I'm sure this will jumpstart a vibrant theme community, even more so than already exists.

Reminds me of the evolution-x days.

 

[Godofcheese]

Interesting, will try it tonight

 

[Gadsby]

let's see what we have here

Since this uses less memory than qlaunch, does this mean we can use more sysmodules together since there is more memory available?

I have been waiting for this, thank you so much

 

[TheGreek Boy]

i hope it wil be compatible with sxos in the near future...

 

[Haevens]

The creating a folder a wonder!
Just misses the alphabetical order that would be great!

Congrats on release! It's clear you've put loads of work into this, and it's looking great. Will be trying it out soon.

Is album support planned for the near future? I do sometimes pull it up to check screenshots for reference when playing a game (like when a game shows you a clue about something you have to find later).

Now we just need a new thread for themes. @yyoossk created a sweet Pokemon Yellow theme, complete with BGM.

 

[Baoulettes]

Well, that something really nice.
I am not using it, Yet.
I prefer waiting more revision, maybe because I use SX OS eheh.
