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 released uLaunch v0.3.6! Go check it out: https://github.com/XorTroll/uLaunch/releases/tag/0.3.6

This is another support version, working fine with latest Atmosphère, while the big uLaunch rewrite is being finished.

As always, a big thank you to all the people who helped with the project!

Anyone knows if uLaunch 0.3.6 is compatible with firmware 17.0.0? Or would it need another update for that?

 

[M7L7NK7]

Just try it

Try it out. When your console boots with it, then you have your answer

Doesn't boot on 17 hopefully will update soon

Is this the best theming option rn?

Is this the best theming option rn?

Not really. Your best bet is to use nxtheme and Themezer.

this is great for customizing. but it eats up quite a bit of memory (from my experience) so using other sys-modules (tesla being the biggest perpetrator) will cause the console to crash. if your only looking for themeing, as lordelan said, nxtheme combined with themezer is the best choice

Can those add lockscreen PIN like uLaunch?

No, ulaunch is the only thing that does that. Also did you get ulaunch from xortroll's discord or off github?

I've released uLaunch v0.3.7! Go check it out: https://github.com/XorTroll/uLaunch/releases/tag/0.3.7

This is merely another support update, working fine for 17.0.1 / Atmosphère 1.6.2, while uLaunch's rewrite is being finished.
As always, a big thank you to all the people who helped supporting, testing, finding bugs and suggesting improvements for this and my other projects!

This looks super awesome. I’m assuming “controller management” is referring to the usual switch controller menu, but it would be awesome if the controller button mapping menu could be thrown into the controller menu instead of buried at the bottom of the system settings

Interesting!!

Any theme gallery to test it?

We are really rooting for you on the rewrite man. We'd love to use it

I've released uLaunch v0.3.8! Go check it out: https://github.com/XorTroll/uLaunch/releases/tag/0.3.8

This is yet another support update, working fine for 18.0.0 / Atmosphère 1.7.0, while uLaunch's rewrite is (slowly) being finished.
As always, a big thank you to all the people who helped supporting, testing, finding bugs and suggesting improvements for this and my other projects!

I've also updated this post like my other project posts, to make it more visual and clean, while all the details of the project are neatly explained on GitHub

Is using uLaunch safe on sysnand? I'm using CFW on sysnand with mods and homebrew and would love to move on from nxthemes and try uLaunch.

If you’re worried about being safe or not just move to emuNAND

If you're asking about using it while online, and the potential of getting banned from Nintendo services, my first guess would be hell no, it's not safe. At least without dnsmitm... If telemetry is recorded that shows use of this "flog" thing (I'm not even sure what that is), that is normally not used, then it's not safe on sysnand in the slightest. if you care about being banned, you shouldn't use this on sysnand.

If you're using sys nand and are worried about getting banned but are also using or looking into using dnsmitm than someones priorities are all messed up

The whole point of emunand Is to not have to do all this to your sysnand and have to worry about it getting banned.

It doesn't compute just do it the proper way lmao (I know its not you this is just a general statement)
