Nintendo Switch RCM Payload Launcher for macOS

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.

Dependencies

• Python 3.6+
• libusb
• pyusb
• tkinter

Installation

1. Install Homebrew
2. Install Python 3: brew install python
3. Install libusb: brew install libusb
4. Install Python dependencies: python3 -m pip install pyusb

Usage

1. Install everything in the above Dependencies area
2. Look at the top of this repository page
3. Click the green button that says "Clone or download"
4. Download ZIP
5. Find where the ZIP has been downloaded and extract it
6. In the folder that was extracted, place your Fusée payloads in the payloads folder.
7. Enter RCM mode on the Switch (this will not be covered here)
8. While in RCM mode, connect the Switch to a USB port on the computer (using a hub will likely not work!)
9. Double-click on macOS launch.command
10. Choose a payload from the list.
11. Press Run.

Troubleshooting

Receiving this error? usb.core.NoBackendError: No backend available

Run: 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.
