open code??!!?!?!?

Ninty Launcher has always been open source.

Now hear me out.

This, but instead of the N-Switch UI, you take the Wii UI (not Wii U, Wii).

Good idea, no?

how do i install the games ?

The assistant teaches you how to install games when the launcher is started for the first time. You just have to click on the last button on the bottom roll of icons, find the game executable and import. If you need more help there is a online manual.

one last question

do i find them in website or something

i already now that i can import the games into the lancher 

so i hope i find a fast reply

(1 edit)

That is up to you, you have to provide the game/app executable that you want to add to your library, it can be anything from anywhere. What the launcher will do is that it will add a custom icon and title if the game or app you installed is found in the database.

i got this error on the launcher

When Super Mario Unistudio Will Be Release? (Do Not Remove My Comment)

(B) 2024 OR 2025

(C) 2026

They literally told you not to make any comments that aren't related to Ninty Launcher, yet you did anyways. I hope this gets deleted. Also, the answer is more than likely A. Stop asking.

Can U Continue Super Mario Unimaker DX? It Has Been 4 Years Since Super Mario Unimaker DX Didn't Come Out. (And Also Do Not Remove My Comment)

(1 edit) (+2)

A few things to put into consideration.

  • No, I’m not working in UniMaker DX anymore I moved to UniStudio (which is the successor to UniMaker) since january 2021 [link],
  • In july of the same year I made UniMaker DX open source for anyone interested in continuing the project or compiling it by themselves, it can be found in UniMaker’s repo on GitHub [link], I made a announcement post in my official blog during that time [link].
  • The reason your comment got removed is because it wasn’t (and still isn’t) related to Ninty Launcher, you can ask questions about my other projects in their respective pages, one of my social networks or via e-mail. I’m always answering questions in these places.

OH OK But A New question IS Here

Can you make a mac version I have a windows tablet but I have a mac and I want to use this

(2 edits)

I’m Sorry but I have no plans on making a macOS version at the moment, as I don’t have access to one and its environment seems to be a bit restrictive for apps like this (especially when it’s not digitally signed on an actual Mac device)

But source code is available for any macOS developers interested in trying something like this, contributions are welcome.

use wine.

Please Update to give the ability to play custom music from file in BGM.  Please!  This is my go to launcher right now to launch my Doom Mods!  

(1 edit)

You want a built-in music player or the ability to add a background music to the launcher?

If it is the latter you can already to that, there are example themes that have their own music files included with the download.

(1 edit)

Thanks for getting back to me! 

Ability to play music from a folder randomly in background when I start Ninty is actually what i want to do to be exact...  How could this work?

Unfortunately this is not a feature, it is only possible to have a specific song playing every time you open the launcher, as part of the themes feature I mentioned.

NINTY 2 Integrated "Over the Game" Music player feature perhaps ? maybe?   I'm just trying to relive the OG XBOX days in my 30s I guess tho haha I could dreamcast to tho right?  do you see where I'm going with this on the theme kinda thing here?  AAAAhhh well what do I know right, I'm just a Playstation kid with a love of XBOX and Nintendo, I guess I'm just a Gameboy color me Advance...?

At this moment I can’t really tell if an “over the game” music player would work reliably on all platforms, but I’ll see what I can do.

Hey Just Asking, How Do I Access The Assets?

(1 edit)

What exactly? Your user configurations, the default themes or the resources used in the launcher source code?

assets for the icons.

You can find them on the repository linked in the description of the page.

Here is a direct link: https://github.com/ninstar/Ninty-Launcher-DB

is there a chromebook version of this please

Unfortunately no. But the next major update will have Linux support.

the what seems to be unskippable tutorial at the beginning is a little much.

(+1)

If you close the launcher and re-open it. It will automatically skip the starter guide.

Hey, I was wondering if it would be possible to add the ability to rename the application display title when adding/modifying an application, like when choosing a thumbnail, also have the option to change the display name?

(1 edit)

To rename an app or game you just have to click on the name. As mentioned in the manual.

Sorry about that, I thought I tried to do that, and I forgot there was a manual, maybe including a link to it in the launcher like in the settings menu or the information screen could be helpful. Your launcher is so thorough I thought I would be able to find everything I needed within it. 

Could you make an Android version? This would be awesome to use on the AYN Odin or on Android phones with something like a Razer Kishi.

Not sure about making an Android version, but Ninty 2 will be ported to Linux.

THANK YOU FOR THIS BEAUTY!!!

(+1)

android?

Yo this looks sick! Have you thought about making a Linux version of this on Github? The Steam Deck would hugely benefit from this.

(+1)

I’m working on a new version that has native support for Linux, I post my devlogs on my Discord server.

Oh Hi Can i Play Super Mario UniMaker Deluxe?

(Yes or No)

Wel… This page if for Ninty Launcher. The source code for UniMaker Deluxe can be found on my GitHub though.

Oh Okay So how can I Play it?

(1 edit) (+1)

You download gamemaker studio 2 and run the Unimaker_DX.yyp file and watch the game get compiled then the game will get launched.

i tried it and its vulnerable to automatic crashes.

Automatic crashes?

its cool! and I'm surprised games not made by you work here! amazing 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000/10

this is amazing! 10/10, one of the best launchers ever!

this is awesome

Over 100 predefined icons? so cool! I think you should make a bigger deal about it. There are other launchers, even ones you can style after the switch, but none of them have a predefined reggie icon.


Ninny is so cuuuute!

Thanks, A lot of people helped me with the icons. All contributions are welcome, the database can be found on github.com/ninstar/NL-TitleDB.
