Homebrew Launcher Wrapper - v1.0

Description:
Homebrew Launcher Wrapper is a dummy application that acts as a forwarder to the Luma3DS homebrew menu. It has some improvements over the existing homebrew launcher loader.
  • Animated home menu banner.
  • Animated logo.
  • Homebrew launcher loader was used to run *hax payloads, however with this app, if Luma3DS is not configured to launch the homebrew launcher, it will show an image with instructions on how to configure it.
The goal of this app is to be as user friendly as possible, so if something goes wrong when following @Plailect guide to install CFW, instructions will be shown on the screen to set up the homebrew launcher properly.

There is a graphical bug when the logo fades out and the application starts (the logo appears on screen for a fraction of a second). This is a problem with the logo.bin file and I know how to fix it, the only problem is that I lost the tools for building logos so it will be fixed in the future when I'm able to edit logos again.

I'm confused. What's the purpose of this other than to act as a forwarder to the existing app that was replaced with the Homebrew Launcher?

Some people do not like Rosalina Menu injecting the new-HBL menu's boot.3dsx in a System Title. They like having a dedicated Homebrew Launcher's HOME Menu icon.

The old version didn't come with a blue wavy splash screen.

This new one tries to make it noob proof with the instructions while upgrading with slightly different aesthetics.

It's really personal preference as it's really a placeholder for the injection.
