Launchiine (WIP)

A simple Wii U Menu replacement, still in early development and not ready for a day to day usage

Usage (Replace Wii U Menu via Mocha Payload):

([ENVIRONMENT] is a placeholder for the actual environment name.)

• Place the men.rpx on the sd card in the directory sd:/wiiu/environments/[ENVIRONMENT]/.
• Load the MochaPayload via the EnvironmentLoader (e.g. Tiramisu)
• Load the Wii U Menu and launchiine should show up instead.

Known Issues

• Random crashes
• The Keyboard input is implemented, but result is ignored.
• nn::spm is not initalized and no quick start menu support. For the it's relying on the AutobootModule doing this.
• No sound on splash screen.
• Probably a lot more

TODOs

• Non-touch controls
• Sound on splashscreen
• Folder support
• Preserve app order after closing/opening launchiine.
• Display applets like the original Wii U Menu
• Implement Account selection when no default account is set.
• Implement update check/no way to update games
• Properly implement nn::spm and nn:sl (external storage and quick start menu)
• Fix search
• Implement all the other stuff the Wii U Menu offers (Account creationg, switching between Accounts, set default account etc.)
• Implement ways to launch the original Wii U Menu.

Building

Install the following dependencies:

• wut
• libgui

Then build via make.

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 launchiine-builder

# make 
docker run -it --rm -v ${PWD}:/project launchiine-builder make

# make clean
docker run -it --rm -v ${PWD}:/project launchiine-builder make clean
