Usage
Place your homebrew (.rpx
or .wuhb
) in sd:/wiiu/apps
or any subdirectory inside sd:/wiiu/apps
.

Save data redirection
In order to preserve the order of homebrew apps even when you run the Wii U Menu without this plugin, this plugin will redirect the Wii U Menu save data to sd:/wiiu/homebrew_on_menu_plugin
.
When no save data is found on the sd card, the current save data is copied from the console, but after that it's never updated.
If the plugin is configured to hide any homebrew except a Homebrew Launcher, the redirection is disabled.

Building using the Dockerfile
It's possible to use a docker image for building. This way you don't need anything installed on your host system.
# Build docker image (only needed once)
docker build . -t homebrew_on_menu_plugin-builder
# make
docker run -it --rm -v ${PWD}:/project homebrew_on_menu_plugin-builder make
# make clean
docker run -it --rm -v ${PWD}:/project homebrew_on_menu_plugin-builder make clean
Format the code via docker
docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/src ghcr.io/wiiu-env/clang-format:13.0.0-2 -r ./src -i
