Hacking [Tool] Fusée Gelée Launcher for MacOS

Please Note::: This project still works, and will likely continue to work, but it has been deprecated in favor of NXBoot for macOS users. My apologies.

Fusée Gelée Launcher for MacOS
(Last Updated September 28, 2018)

This is a simple fork of the original fusee-launcher.

It contains *no payloads*. You must download and place the payloads in the "Payloads" directory.

Note: Payload-specific launchers have been removed for now. If demand is there, I will bring them back. I just do not see a point to them with one unified GUI.

Dependencies:

- Python 3
- libusb
- pyusb
- tkinter

1. Install brew via https://brew.sh
2. Install Python 3 and libusb: brew install python libusb
3. Install pyusb: python3 -mpip install pyusb
4. Install tkinter: python3 -mpip install tkinter
--note-- tkinter is installed on most Python3 installations by default

Usage:

0. Install everything in the above Dependencies area
1. Look at the top of this repository page
2. Click the green button that says "Clone or download"
3. Download ZIP
4. Find where the ZIP downloaded and extract it
5. In the folder that was extracted, place your Fusée payloads in the payloads folder.
4. Enter RCM mode on the Switch (this will not be covered here)
5. While in RCM mode, connect the Switch to a USB port on the computer (using a hub will likely not work!)
6. Doubleclick on macOS launch.command
7. Use the arrow buttons in the window that opens to find your payloads.
8. Press Run.

Troubleshooting
Recieving this error? usb.core.NoBackendError: No backend available
Run the command: brew link --overwrite libusb

If you are recieving issues and wish for help, please open a GitHub issue or let me know on the GBATemp thread.

Include the following information:

1. MacOS Version String (e.g., 10.14.x). Just giving me the name of the release ("High Sierra") does not help as much.
2. Mac hardware. Include the model and year, so I know what ports and interfaces you are using.
