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 will wait and see how this matures. it does look interesting

 

[Kubas_inko]

Yes. Finally. This is so good.

Will I be able to connect online with this new menu running? Don't wanna get banned but damn do I ever need folders (over 100 games) @XorTroll

 

[SLXD249]

very nice... but it jams Tinfoil

 

[Kubas_inko]

He ain't trolling, sadly. Telemetry reports titles the user has played, and if N notices you have played flog (something which would be technically impossible) is probably a guaranteed ban.
As HOME menu I know I'm killing a big part of N's telemetry since HOME menu took care or play reports (not sure if something else does too), but ban risk is there.

This is why that option is disabled by default and uLaunch warns of ban risk.

In that case, maybe an option to select a custom app?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

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

which also takes over eShop and Parental control applets and flog system title (all of them are pretty much useless with this reimpl) for its extended functionality.

I still find surprising how myxh hacking and homebrew the Switch gets.

I'm already calling it! The successor to this will be called wLaunch

 

[Godofcheese]

wlaunch is already a ps2 file manager

*or wait, so was ulaunch*
haha

 

[Frankbel]

Why uLaunch? It reminds me of the terrible WiiU. Please change its name.

Yes it is a little confusing to give this honorable Name to a "less" honorable Console.

 

[Cortexfou]

I really want to use it with SX. Hope it'll compatible soon

 

[Deleted-236924]

Hey, that's pretty good!

 

[hippy dave]

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

That's what I'm hoping for too.

XorTroll already answered this in the negative, but in more positive related news, an upcoming release of atmosphere (I'd say the next release, but who knows, life is full of surprises) will make an extra ~10MB available for sysmodules - which is quite a lot.

I hope this also gets implemented with Atomsphere and Kosmos.

I hope this also gets implemented with Atomsphere and Kosmos.

I'd guess atmosphere wouldn't include it in their official releases as they'd probably consider it out of scope (it's still of course available for every atmos user to install if they want). I think discussions are going on with the kosmos devs, IDK what they'll decide.

Yeah, well to be fair the PS2 manager is actually called ulaunchelf. These are the jokes of a switchless fool

 

[MasterJ360]

Nice this looks really great. last time Ive seen or used uLaunch was on FreeMCboot

 

[Owenge]

Okay so I've been using this for a bit and there's a few problems
1. lack of some features.


Other then that everything is amazing and I prefer this over the default any day

Hope this will be usable with sxos and can have animated themes ( more than now )
