Fusee Launcher Macos Switch - Gamebrew

Fusee Launcher Macos Switch - Gamebrew

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