[Request] homebrew nro version #89

Closed cucholix closed 7 months ago

Port it to run as a homebrew nro version.

What for? Please provide a use case.

cucholix commented 9 months ago

Uberhand overlay is 1.52mb, being a replacement for official ovlmenu.ovl which is only 153kb, it consumes the memory pool considerably when you use it in conjuntion with other sys-modules. I have 4 sys-modules actives and opening ovlmenu often result in ams crash.

So how an overlay launcher would help while not being an overlay itself? I can't understand what task you're trying to solve with this proposal.

In any case, if you really want to launch it as a homebrew you can just rename the ovlmenu.ovl into ovlmenu.nro and put it into the /switch folder. In the end every overlay is literally just a homebrew with a different extension. But there's no guarantee that anything would work as expected, as it was not intended for such usage.
