Aura Launcher is a modern NDS homebrew launcher focussing on aesthetics, based off of DevkitPro's hbmenu which can be used to replace the menu on several DS flashcards. Read more about the core of the launcher on the hbmenu page.

To try out the launcher, place Aura-Launcher.nds in the root of your card and start it as you would any other homebrew. To replace it as your default launcher, copy the contents of the install folder to the root of your SD card (Overwriting duplicate files).

Currently the following cards are supported:

• Original R4
• EZ Flash 5
• DSTT
• Acekard 2(i)

Many R4i knockoffs are also supported (Such as R4i SDHC and Gold) thanks to fincs, but not included in the download. To use Aura Launcher with one of those cards:

1. Download fincs' bootstrap (blog post here)
2. Copy the _DS_MENU.DAT and R4.dat files from that download to the root of the SD card
3. Copy Aura-Launcher.nds to the root of the SD card and rename it to _BOOT_DS.NDS
