I set the DNS right and get to the ctest.cdn.nintendo.net. But it shows white screen and I can't see the install button

JinguLan commented 3 years ago

I've tried two versions. 3.3.0 and 3.0.0

What do you mean by "install button"? This is the Homebrew Menu...

isn't it homebrew launcher?

fincs commented 3 years ago

No, it's the Homebrew Menu (or hbmenu for short).

JinguLan commented 3 years ago

sorry about disturbing

Dafa95 commented 3 years ago

I have the same problem and I am not the only one, i searched and searched and I can not find the launcher..

There is no such thing as "Homebrew Launcher" on Switch. The following two components exist, though:

Homebrew Loader (hbloader or hbl for short): This is the host process responsible for dynamically loading homebrew NROs and implementing the Homebrew ABI, as well as some other miscellaneous bookkeeping. This component is not user visible.
Homebrew Menu (hbmenu for short): This is the graphical shell that first runs when hbl starts up - this very repo contains the source code for it. This graphical shell is responsible for presenting a list of homebrew applications to the user, and instructing hbl which NRO to load next.

Installing homebrew is just a matter of copying (either manually or through nxlink) a NRO to the switch folder inside the SD card.

Could it be that is looking for censored

There are no such things as "forwarders" in the supported homebrew environment. Anyone claiming to have or distribute them are in fact encouraging users to set up warez loading mechanisms, all which involve massive risks of banning the console and are considered severely damaging to the homebrew ecosystem. As such we heavily discourage their usage and offer absolutely no support whatsoever to anyone attempting to create, use or distribute them.

Custom "icons" on the Switch's main menu are technologically indistinguishable from pirated games. Please reread my reply.
