Release: DC uLaunch Updater
My first real useful homebrew app for the Nintendo Switch.
This is what happens when you watch 2h youtube tutorials of a 4h course.
Youtube C++ Tutorial for Beginners.
Video clip showing it in action:
Uses:
- Install/update uLaunch.
- Remove uLaunch.
- Install extra Themes.
- In app update.
- Reboot to payload.
uLaunch Screenshot (icon):
. When uLaunch came out I was very excited to try it out, it looks very promising like the design.
Open source and I guess there will be loads of new features in the future.
But it's still in beta 0.1 so its not realy stable, not that I found breaking bugs.
So I wanted a easy way to remove it and re-install it without re-ftp or sdswap.
Started my journey in to Switch develepment just this month and I really like the progress I made.
Here are some screenshots:
Main Menu:
Download:
Nice progress menu.
Install complete!
Like the screenshot says use Reboot Payload to do restart in to uLaunch.
De-Intsall!
De-Install complete:
This will only De-Install the Titles, not the users information at ”/uLaunch/” Themes will not be deleted.
Like the screenshot says use Reboot Payload to do restart in to uLaunch.
Install Extra Themes!
Themes will appeare directly after closing app in uLauch theme selector.
You need to restart uLaunch to apply the theme.
Use Reboot Payload to do so.
Disable or Enable uLaunch!
Disable or Enable uLaunch without deleting it. Title folders will be moved except for 0100000000001000 only the exefs.nsp file will be moved.
And as bonus Included all Themes that are in the Showcase.
In App Update!
Just restart after download and if there is a new version this one will be started.
Reboot to Payload!
Homebrew Menu launch icon corrupt.
Like you can see the Icon shows “!” because I used a icon.png and not icon.jpg.
In uLauch my png icon is showing correct but not in Homebrew Menu
Installation:
This is very simple just download the DC-uLaunch_Updater.nro
and create and place in your /switch/Ulaunch-update/ folder.
And then your done launch from HBmenu or uLaunch.
Themes:
Some example screenshots of KarmicBacklash Themes.
Red.
Minty Green.
Warning this is only for Atmosphere CFW!
Install will not work on other CFW! Only tested it on my Switch so I don’t take responsibility if something happens to your switch.
Todo:
- Remove /SDout/ folder after installation. (folder is empty) just need to remove the folder.
- Give names of references a logic name in the code.
- Decide if will use a png icon or not.
- Give propper credits to everyone in README.md
- Clean up MACOS_ folders that are created by unzipping. (or upload only cleaned zips)

So why not give him the Oric 1 mini the nes mini theme would go good with this in retropie.
It was also my first computer, so after some searching I found a Oric 1 model that I could use for this.

Load that model in to ThinkerCad and a Raspberry Pi zero model, just for size’s.

Test card/screen Simulator!
My dad is a Ham Radio/TV amateur and he asked if i could write a better version of his version Test card/screen program that he found on the internet.
 |
http://home.worldonline.nl/~peterdb/testcard/ | Site is offline |
My version is almost a one 2 one copy of Peter his program the only different aspect is: custom screen options.
My dad complains that after he upgrade his video card he could get Peter’s version working correct.
So i looked at the application and told my dad that i could code that in one day and make it better.
I took this challenge because i written some code for custom screen options before.
My version got all basic functions that peter’s version got i left out the RGB options because otherwise i couldn’t make the dead line of one day
If you select view set location Testbeeld you get another window and you can drag it to the desired screen/location…
after hitting the Set button the location is fixed.
If you hit the fullscreen button it will load the Test card/screen on that location.
Some more test card options:

New Mp3 player for my Touchscreen Radio.
Last week i tried DWjukebox on my Touchscreen Radio,
the read me file states that it will not work with a touchscreen or mouse above windows xp
So i lost all my touchscreen goodness if i use that program.
I did a search for alternative for it but could’t find any good that looked good enough for standalone player….
So i decided to code my own version in Visual Studio 2010 (VB)
It works very easy:
First time you run the program you will need to setup the Database.
I do this by making a simple TXT file containing the location of the files.
First select the location of you mp3 files:
Example users/My Music
Then Press the button Prepare TXT and wait until the console screen closes it self and
you return to the first screen.
The program will use a predetermined folder for saving the TXT file.
if you click the Use Mp3 TXT file you will be pointed in to the right folder.
Just select the mp3list.txt and the contend of the txt file will be loaded in to the database.
You can check it and I suggest you do this the first time you Run the program.
When you don’t check the database the Jukebox player will not load the database.
But if you close (click the 25 cent button) and restart it will load the Jukebox and the database
directly. This is a little bug and is in reality very easy to fix only did’t do it for now.
Honestly its not that a big bug because it will only happen at first setup. After setup it will correct
the bug at loading.
Demo video, sorry for no original music from the video.
The source code and the project files are available on Github.
