This is a homebrew program that downloads the latest version of mashers's Homebrew Launcher with grid layout.
It uses a modified Lua Player Plus by Rinnegatamante, removing non-essential features to greatly reduce filesize. It is based on this commit. The source of this is contained at extra/lpp-3ds-strip.zip. Please see the original repository for technical details.
Installation
This updater can be added to the grid launcher's settings menu by placing mglupdate.3dsx and index.lua in /gridlauncher/update/.
Otherwise, extract it any place you like (e.g. /3ds/mglupdate/).
User guide
Run the program and the program will attempt to show you the latest version available.
Press A to download and apply the update.
Notes
The site part is meant to download and cache the last version number (version.h) and launcher.zip from masher's Homebrew Launcher. This is done because ctrulib can't download from HTTPS sites right now.
Some of this was quickly put together and not made to be easily changed for use in the future. The server-side code could definitely be optimized in some way, but it fits the purpose for the time being.
If you are setting up a custom updater, the enable folder in the site should be password protected.
Changelog
v2.21/2.2
- Shiny changelogs - lets you view each individual version ever.
- Large changelogs won't fit on the screen, but this mostly applies to older versions.
- Install location can now be manually set (force_path in updater.cfg).
- Some more code cleanups.
- Update lpp-3ds build.
- Looks more stable than Nintendo can ever make their firmware updates.
v2.1
- Lots of code cleanup. including moving screen drawing features to a separate drawing.lua file for organizational purposes.
- Actual error handling. especially because of some weird error extracting launcher.zip unless the system is rebooted.
- Errors now require you to press "Y" instead to exit
- Basic "info skipping". /gridlauncher/updater.cfg will be automatically created and has a setting to skip info and automatically exit if the latest and installed version numbers do not match. there's currently no way to enable this in the program yet.
- Several UI improvements.
- Further improvements to ov...
v2.04
- If /gridlauncher/glinfo.txt is missing, it no longer dies at a black screen. Particularly useful if you're using this program to install the grid launcher without having used it before.
v2.03

- Further improvements to overall updater stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience.
- More jabs at Nintendo's update changelog.
- Adds notice in case the server has disabled the updater.
v2.02
