Hacking Homebrew Homebrew app 3DLaunch: System App Launcher

[TheVenus]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING!!!!!
For now this supports only EUR 3DS's.
It is better to update to the latest firmware
before using this app.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And yes guys, I present you guys my first homebrew app ever made...
3DLaunch!
A modified version of the "app_launch" example from devKitPro.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
This app launches a system app if you press a button. Pretty useful if you can't access the apps
listed below from the HOME menu.
For now the supported apps are:
Nintendo 3DS Camera (Press A)
Nintendo 3DS Download Play (Press B)
Nintendo 3DS Settings (Press Y)
Nintendo 3DS Mii Maker (Press X)
And of course, start to exit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This homebrew app is CIA only.

This is great! Although if possible could you make us able to put a CIA in a folder and then have that CIA Show up in the menu for example instead of making a folder you can have this be like a hub for all your homebrew apps or anything else.
Then if you could please tell be wether or not you would be able to do this that would be greatly appreciated.




EDIT
------------
and if you have one could you link a GitHub repository if not that's fine.

Unfortunately, I can only do HOME menu apps.

Hi @TheVenus , could I ask you a kindness?
Which numerical code your app gets registered as when installed?
My console has been crashing on boot since I installed it, so I am trying to manually remove it from the system.

Failing that, I guess I'll just reset it all with the 3DS hacks guide about CTRTransfer

There's the title id for FBI. Don't use ctrtransfer, that's overkill and can lead to more issues.

Thanks a lot zoogie.

I could track down the app on the SD card and delete it, but the console still crashes 100% on boot (with or without the SD card)...

I'm not sure what to do at this point (No I don't have a backup, I got the console already hacked)

Update: I found out what to do.

"Safe Mode, also known as SAFE_FIRM, is a part of the 3DS' stock firmware that allows the device to perform a System Update without loading the HOME Menu or most system functions. To access Safe Mode, hold L + R + (D-Pad Up) + A and then powering on - if successful, the 3DS will show the System Update screen."

Thanks again!!
