Hacks Guide Wiki:To-do list

2022-08-12T20:15:19Z

Bleck9999: Switch:Cheats

This is where we can keep a list of things that should be done, such as pages that need creating or adding to.

{{ombox|text=For organizational purposes, please mark items based on their status (and link them if applicable):
* {{Done}} <code>{{tl|Done}}</code>
* {{WIP}} <code>{{tl|WIP}}</code>
* {{Skip}} <code>{{tl|Skip}}</code>}}

== Pages ==

=== Organization ===

Once this wiki has "enough content" (whatever that means), before we can start advertising it publicly, we need better page organzation.

* Index/contents pages? Generally anything someone might want or need to do with hacks. Save backup and restore, transfers, troubleshooting, informational pages, etc. Similar to [[3DS:Things to do]] but that one is more like "here's a list of cool things you can do".

=== Main Page ===

A nice [[Main Page]] should be made. It should include a simple explanation of what homebrew is, then links to the main guides, the "Things to do" pages, and maybe troubleshooting.

A search box could be put here too.

<pre><nowiki>
<inputbox>
type=search
placeholder=Placeholder text here...

</inputbox>
</nowiki></pre>

=== Console introductions ===

These pages should be like an all-around intro to things about hacking a console. Links to guides on getting hacks set up, links to the "things to do", maybe troubleshooting for when things go wrong...

I'm not sure how necessary these pages are though, if there isn't enough stuff that can't also go on the "Things to do" pages. [[User:Ihaveahax|ihaveahax]] ([[User talk:Ihaveahax|talk]]) 02:52, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
: In my opinion they should be the main hub for everything related to the console itself with quick and easy access/links to the most important articles and console related help pages. Could also include highlights from the "things to do" page or apps '''-[[User:zsotroav|zsotroav]]''' ''([[User_talk:zsotroav|Cantact me here!]])'' @ 18:34, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

* [[Nintendo 3DS]]
* [[Wii U]]
* [[Nintendo Switch]]

=== "Things to do" pages ===

A simple page that someone new to homebrew/cfw can use to start doing something with their newly-hacked console.

* [[3DS:Things to do]]
* [[Wii U:Things to do]]
* [[Switch:Things to do]]

=== Game pages ===

I think we should have pages for individual games with lists of mods, save editors, guides, and maybe other things.

I just picked a random assortment of some popular games. Any game with a mod, save editor, useful hacking guide, etc. can have its own page!

* [[3DS:Animal Crossing: New Leaf]]
* [[3DS:Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]
* [[3DS:Pokémon X and Y]]
* [[3DS:Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]
* [[3DS:Pokémon Sun and Moon]]
* [[3DS:Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]
* [[3DS:Mario Kart 7]]
* [[Wii U:Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]
* [[Wii U:Mario Kart 8]]
* [[Switch:Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]

=== Guides ===

Any sort of guides that could be useful, game-specific or not.

* [[Formatting an SD card/Windows]]
* [[Formatting an SD card/Mac]]
* [[Formatting an SD card/Linux]]
* [[3DS:Keyboard Unbrick]]

=== Move from main guides ===

Some pages could be moved from the main guides to here.

Don't actually delete these from the main guide until we think this site is ready.

*"What is a patched" page - terms related to this are in the glossary, I was considering a page that went through all models similar to the table in [[Switchguide:Getting_Started]] but don't really know how to put it all together

== Translations==

The pages being moved from 3ds.hacks.guide or wiiu.hacks.guide might have translations that need to be brought over.

Also pages on how to translate stuff on this wiki need to be made too.

==Technical ==

*Create lots of redirect pages. Someone will probably search things like "Pokemon x" or "Fix black screen" so we should create those pages that point to the right place. This needs some automation too.
**[[Special:BulkPageCreate]], {{gh|ihaveamac/mediawiki-extensions-BulkPageCreate}}
* Make it more obvious that a revision other than the main one is being viewed. Preferably with a MediaWiki hook but JS will probably do.

== Project pages ==

* Create a page about how game pages should be designed.
** [[Hacks Guide Wiki:Game pages]]
* Create a game template page, so anyone who wants to make a page for a specific game knows where to start.
** [[Hacks Guide Wiki:Game pages/Template]] (maybe even make it a preload-able template?)

Bleck9999: Switch:Cheats

{{ombox
| type = speedy
| image = [[File:Warning_Icon.png|40px]]
| text = <big>'''This page describes actions that can lead to a ban.'''</big><br>Before you continue, make sure to read the page carefully.
}}

For cheats management, [https://github.com/tomvita/EdiZon-SE Edizon-SE] is recommended. It supports Atmosphére's cheat engine, as well as the ability to turn on and off selected cheats.

== Important Information ==
Under some circumstances, enabling cheats can lead to a ban. Most online games can detect cheats and issue bans for using them, while offline games often lack such protections. If you are unsure, it's recommended to turn cheats off by default and only enable them in an offline emuMMC.

== Instructions ==
Atmosphére loads cheats from the <code>contents</code> folder inside the <code>atmosphere</code> folder on your SD card. The template it looks for is <code>SD:/atmosphere/contents/<title_id>/cheats/<build_id>.txt</code>. The <code><title_id></code> folder may need to be created manually.

The title ID identifies a game, while the build ID identifies the version the cheats were made for. Both can be found in Edizon-SE, displayed next to <code>TID</code> and <code>BID</code> respectively. An example image can be seen below:

[[File:NXCheats Example.jpeg|1000px|center]]

In this example the title ID is <code>0100646009FBE000</code> and the build ID is <code>0B9A75586BC1A6C6</code>, meaning cheats will be loaded from <code>SD:/atmosphere/contents/0100646009FBE000/cheats/0B9A75586BC1A6C6.txt</code>.

By default all cheats are activated when launching a game unless the L key is held when launching. This can be changed by copying <code>system_settings.ini</code> from <code>SD:/atmosphere/config_templates/</code> to <code>SD:/atmosphere/config/</code> if it isn't already there, and editing the line that says <code>; dmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default = u8!0x1</code> to <code>dmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default = u8!0x0</code>. Make sure to remove the space and the semicolon.

Cheats can also be disabled individually by launching Edizon-SE in applet mode while the game is running. To do this, simply open the album applet without holding R and launch Edizon-SE.

=== A ===
; Atmosphère
: The CFW developed by the Atmosphère-NX organization on GitHub and the one used in this guide.

; Applet mode
: Refers to when the homebrew launcher is running as an applet (typically the album applet). In this state there are fewer resources available and some homebrew apps will either break or have reduced functionality.

; AutoRCM
: A method that corrupts parts of your boot0 and boot1, causing the Switch to boot into RCM automatically. Using this requires an additional peripheral (such as a computer, phone, dongle or trinket) to be able to boot your Switch.

; BOOT0 and BOOT1
: Two partitions of the Switch NAND.

; BIS keys
: Specific keys used to decrypt the NAND.

=== D ===
; Deja Vu
: An unreleased exploit chain for the Nintendo Switch. The completely unpatched version of this chain will grant access to TrustZone, which effectively means being able to enter CFW. The TrustZone part of this exploit was patched in firmware version 5.0.0 and up, but normal homebrew access can still be gained up to firmware version 6.0.1.

; DNS
: Domain Name System. Basically, it's the internet's addressbook. If you visit a website, the DNS is what tells you what server the site is hosted on.

; dns.mitm
: Atmosphère module that enables DNS redirection on a system-wide level. It can be used in place of 90DNS and has the advantage of not needing to be set up for every connection individually.

; Dongle

This exploit requires an external device and a tiny hardware modification. fusée-gelée is developed by an ex-ReSwitched developer, while ShofEL2 is developed by the failoverfl0w team. This guide uses fusée-gelée.

=== H ===
; hactool
: Software used to decrypt Nintendo Switch files like .XCI and .NSP files.

; Hekate
: A bootloader for the Nintendo Switch. The current guide uses this in combination with essential files from Atmosphère to boot CFW.

; Homebrew launcher
: Software developed by the Switchbrew team that lets you run other Homebrew.

=== J ===
; Jig
: Refers to a piece of hardware that you can put in the Joycon rail to enter RCM.

; PRODINFO
: A partition on the NAND of your Switch. This along with BOOT0 and BOOT1 is the only part of your Switch that contain data that is unrecoverable without a backup. Atmosphère backs up this partition on booting and it is included in your NAND backup.

=== R ===
; ReSwitched
: A hacking team that is one of the main developers for Atmosphère.

; RCM
: A shorthand for "Recovery Mode". When talking about hacking the Switch, this commonly refers to the Recovery Mode in the Tegra X1 chip that is included in the Nintendo Switch. Can be entered by holding down the Tegra X1 home button. This button is not the same as the home button on the joycons. Ways of pressing this button can be found [[switchguide:user_guide/emummc/entering_rcm|here]].

=== T ===
; TegraRCMGUI/fusee-interface-tk
: Software used to run the fusée-gelée exploit on the Switch.

; Tegra X1
: A chip made by Nvidia that is used in the Nintendo Switch.

; Trinket
: A tiny chip that is soldered on the Switch motherboard to automatically send a payload if it is in RCM.

; TrustZone
: The highest security level on the Switch.

Switch:Save Management

2022-08-12T19:32:37Z

Bleck9999: Fix links for real this time

Using homebrew, it is possible to back up and restore Switch saves. This can be used to [[Switch:Transferring_Saves|transfer saves]] between emuMMC and sysMMC, allow you to backup saves for games that don't support cloud saving, or use saves found online (e.g. to unlock all characters in Smash Ultimate).

[https://github.com/J-D-K/JKSV JKSV] is the recommended save manager for Switch. It supports backing up and restoring user saves as well as device saves, which are used by games such as Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Instructions for use can be found on its [https://github.com/J-D-K/JKSV#quick-guide GitHub README].

[https://github.com/Flagbrew/Checkpoint Checkpoint] is also a save manager, but as it doesn't support device saves it is unable to backup some game data. While it does support cheats, which JKSV doesn't, [https://github.com/tomvita/EdiZon-SE Edizon-SE] is recommended for cheats instead as it provides more features then Checkpoint. See [[Switch:Cheats]] for more details.

Switch:Save Management

2022-08-12T19:29:44Z

Bleck9999: joke's on you switch:cheats doesnt exist yet you dont get more details

Using homebrew, it is possible to back up and restore Switch saves. This can be used to [[Switch:Transferring_Saves|transfer saves]] between emuMMC and sysMMC, allow you to backup saves for games that don't support cloud saving, or use saves found online (e.g. to unlock all characters in Smash Ultimate).

[[https://github.com/J-D-K/JKSV|JKSV]] is the recommended save manager for Switch. It supports backing up and restoring user saves as well as device saves, which are used by games such as Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Instructions for use can be found on its [[https://github.com/J-D-K/JKSV#quick-guide|GitHub README]].

[[https://github.com/Flagbrew/Checkpoint|Checkpoint]] is also a save manager, but as it doesn't support device saves it is unable to backup some game data. While it does support cheats, which JKSV doesn't, [[https://github.com/tomvita/EdiZon-SE|Edizon-SE]] is recommended for cheats instead as it provides more features then Checkpoint. See [[Switch:Cheats]] for more details.

; 90DNS
: DNS that blocks system updates on the Nintendo Switch. This can be enabled by following the guide here.

=== A ===
; Atmosphère
: The CFW developed by the Atmosphère-NX organization on GitHub and the one used in this guide.

; AutoRCM
: A method that corrupts parts of your boot0 and boot1, causing the Switch to boot into RCM automatically. Using this requires an additional peripheral (such as a computer, phone, dongle or trinket) to be able to boot your Switch.

=== B ===
; BOOT0 and BOOT1
: Two partitions of the Switch NAND.

; BIS keys
: Specific keys used to decrypt the NAND.

=== D ===
; Deja Vu
: An unreleased exploit chain for the Nintendo Switch. The completely unpatched version of this chain will grant access to TrustZone, which effectively means being able to enter CFW. The TrustZone part of this exploit was patched in firmware version 5.0.0 and up, but normal homebrew access can still be gained up to firmware version 6.0.1.

; DNS
: Domain Name System. Basically, it's the internet's addressbook. If you visit a website, the DNS is what tells you what server the site is hosted on.

; dns.mitm
: Atmosphère module that enables DNS redirection on a system-wide level. It can be used in place of 90DNS and has the advantage of not needing to be set up for every connection individually.

; Dongle
: Device you can plug in the charging port of your Switch to automatically send a payload if your Switch is in RCM.

=== E ===
; Encryption keys
: Keys used to encrypt files from the Nintendo Switch. These can be dumped by following the guide [[switchguide:extras/dumping_title_keys|here]].

=== F ===
; fusée-gelée/ShofEL2
: Two names for two different implementations of the same exploit. This is an exploit that grants full bootrom access to the Nintendo Switch from the Tegra X1s RCM and permits us to run CFW. This exploit requires an external device and a tiny hardware modification. fusée-gelée is developed by an ex-ReSwitched developer, while ShofEL2 is developed by the failoverfl0w team. This guide uses fusée-gelée.

=== H ===
; hactool
: Software used to decrypt Nintendo Switch files like .XCI and .NSP files.

; Hekate
: A bootloader for the Nintendo Switch. The current guide uses this in combination with essential files from Atmosphère to boot CFW.

; Homebrew launcher
: Software developed by the Switchbrew team that lets you run other Homebrew.

=== J ===
; Jig
: Refers to a piece of hardware that you can put in the Joycon rail to enter RCM.

=== K ===
; KIP
: Short for Kernel Initial Process. These files can be loaded in when the Switch boots in CFW and provide additional functionality.

=== M ===
; MMC
: Refers to the type of NAND the Switch's internal storage uses. Sometimes used interchangeably with NAND (e.g. emuMMC/emuNAND).

=== N ===
; NSP
: File format for installable titles.

; nx-hbloader
: Intermediary program used to load the Homebrew Launcher from CFW developed by Switchbrew. Comes bundled with Atmosphère.

=== P ===
; Patched
: Refers to any Switch not vulnerable to the fusée-gelée exploit.

; PRODINFO
: A partition on the NAND of your Switch. This along with BOOT0 and BOOT1 is the only part of your Switch that contain data that is unrecoverable without a backup. Atmosphère backs up this partition on booting and it is included in your NAND backup.

=== R ===
; ReSwitched
: A hacking team that is one of the main developers for Atmosphère.

; RCM
: A shorthand for "Recovery Mode". When talking about hacking the Switch, this commonly refers to the Recovery Mode in the Tegra X1 chip that is included in the Nintendo Switch. Can be entered by holding down the Tegra X1 home button. This button is not the same as the home button on the joycons. Ways of pressing this button can be found [[switchguide:user_guide/emummc/entering_rcm|here]].

=== T ===
; TegraRCMGUI/fusee-interface-tk
: Software used to run the fusée-gelée exploit on the Switch.

; Tegra X1
: A chip made by Nvidia that is used in the Nintendo Switch.

; Trinket
: A tiny chip that is soldered on the Switch motherboard to automatically send a payload if it is in RCM.

; TrustZone
: The highest security level on the Switch.

Hacks Guide Wiki:To-do list

2022-07-09T20:00:16Z

Bleck9999: /* Move from pins in NH channels */

This is where we can keep a list of things that should be done, such as pages that need creating or adding to.

{{ombox|text=For organizational purposes, please mark items based on their status (and link them if applicable):
* {{Done}} <code>{{tl|Done}}</code>
* {{WIP}} <code>{{tl|WIP}}</code>
* {{Skip}} <code>{{tl|Skip}}</code>}}

== Pages ==

=== Organization ===

Once this wiki has "enough content" (whatever that means), before we can start advertising it publicly, we need better page organzation.

* Index/contents pages? Generally anything someone might want or need to do with hacks. Save backup and restore, transfers, troubleshooting, informational pages, etc. Similar to [[3DS:Things to do]] but that one is more like "here's a list of cool things you can do".

=== Main Page ===

A nice [[Main Page]] should be made. It should include a simple explanation of what homebrew is, then links to the main guides, the "Things to do" pages, and maybe troubleshooting.

A search box could be put here too.

<pre><nowiki>
<inputbox>
type=search
placeholder=Placeholder text here...
width=70
</inputbox>
</nowiki></pre>

=== Console introductions ===

These pages should be like an all-around intro to things about hacking a console. Links to guides on getting hacks set up, links to the "things to do", maybe troubleshooting for when things go wrong...

I'm not sure how necessary these pages are though, if there isn't enough stuff that can't also go on the "Things to do" pages. [[User:Ihaveahax|ihaveahax]] ([[User talk:Ihaveahax|talk]]) 02:52, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

A simple page that someone new to homebrew/cfw can use to start doing something with their newly-hacked console.

* [[3DS:Things to do]]
* [[Wii U:Things to do]]
* [[Switch:Things to do]]

=== Game pages ===

I think we should have pages for individual games with lists of mods, save editors, guides, and maybe other things.

I just picked a random assortment of some popular games. Any game with a mod, save editor, useful hacking guide, etc. can have its own page!

* [[3DS:Animal Crossing: New Leaf]]

* [[3DS:Pokémon X and Y]]
* [[3DS:Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]

* [[3DS:Mario Kart 7]]
* [[Wii U:Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]
* [[Wii U:Mario Kart 8]]
* [[Switch:Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]

=== Guides ===

Any sort of guides that could be useful, game-specific or not.

* [[Formatting an SD card/Windows]]
* [[Formatting an SD card/Mac]]

| text = <big>'''This guide perfoms actions that can lead to a ban.'''</big><br>Before you use this guide, make sure to read this information carefully and accept the risk before continuing.
}}
== Important information ==

By using CFW on sysMMC, it is possible to move save data between your emuMMC and your sysMMC. This process, by itself, should be safe in terms of not getting banned: running homebrew applications like checkpoint through the homebrew menu on sysMMC is not known to cause bans.
However, the problematic element you may encounter is the save data you are using. If you are transferring modified save data from your emuMMC to your sysMMC and you plan to use this edited save data online on your sysMMC, '''you should proceed with extreme caution as this may attract a ban.'''
Using the edited save data on an offline game may still pose a risk if you use it on your sysMMC due to the way telemetry and logs work, although this varies depending on the game

== Instructions ==

=== What you need ===
* The latest release of [https://github.com/J-D-K/JKSV/releases/latest JKSV].
* A Switch with Atmosphere and an emuMMC set up.

=== Steps ===
# First boot into the MMC you want to transfer saves '''from''' (if you want to transfer saves from your emuMMC, you would boot into your emuMMC here).
# Open the homebrew menu and launch JKSV.
# Select the title(s) you want to back up using the A button and press New.
# Change the name if you want, then press OK.
# Once you have finished backing up saves, reboot to hekate.
# Boot into the MMC you want to transfer saves '''to''' (if you're booting into sysMMC here, make sure to select <code>Atmosphere FSS0 SysMMC</code>)
# Open the homebrew menu and launch JKSV.
# Select the title(s) you want to restore, then press Y and select the backup you made earlier.
# Press A to restore the save, then hold A to confirm.

== Translations==

The pages being moved from 3ds.hacks.guide or wiiu.hacks.guide might have translations that need to be brought over.

Also pages on how to translate stuff on this wiki need to be made too.

==Technical ==

*Create lots of redirect pages. Someone will probably search things like "Pokemon x" or "Fix black screen" so we should create those pages that point to the right place. This needs some automation too.
**[[Special:BulkPageCreate]], {{gh|ihaveamac/mediawiki-extensions-BulkPageCreate}}
* Make it more obvious that a revision other than the main one is being viewed. Preferably with a MediaWiki hook but JS will probably do.

== Project pages ==

* Create a page about how game pages should be designed.
** [[Hacks Guide Wiki:Game pages]]
* Create a game template page, so anyone who wants to make a page for a specific game knows where to start.
** [[Hacks Guide Wiki:Game pages/Template]] (maybe even make it a preload-able template?)

Bleck9999: Add titles/contents note

Using custom firmware, you can create unique styles and layouts for your Switch Home Menu.

= Making a Theme =
{{Section WIP}}

= Installing a Theme =

Custom themes made by other users can be found in several places. You can use [https://github.com/suchmememanyskill/themezer-nx/ Themezer-NX] to download and install themes on your switch, or visit [https://reddit.com/r/nxthemes r/NXThemes] or [https://themezer.net themezer.net] and install the .nxtheme file manually.

== Using themezer-nx ==

=== What you need ===
* The latest release of [https://github.com/suchmememanyskill/themezer-nx/releases/latest Themezer-NX].
* The latest release of [https://github.com/exelix11/SwitchThemeInjector/releases NXThemesInstaller].

=== Steps ===
# Boot Switch CFW, open the Homebrew Menu and launch <code>Themezer-NX</code>.
#* If you get an error saying failed to connect to themezer, ensure you have an internet connection set up.
#* If you're on emuMMC, make sure you set up dns.mitm or 90dns before connecting.
# Find a theme to install.
#* Pressing X will allow you to select which type of theme you're looking for (home screen, lock screen etc).
#* Pressing Y will allow you to search for themes that fit certain keywords and change the sorting order.
# Once you have found a theme you would like to install, select the theme and press A or tap the theme.
# You can now either press <code>Install</code> or <code>Download Only</code>.
# Repeat for any additional themes you want to download.
# Exit the application by pressing the + button or pressing X followed by <code>Exit Themezer-NX</code>. This will install any themes you have queued for installation.
# Press + to install your themes.
# Press A to reboot.

== Using NXThemesInstaller ==

=== What you need ===
* The latest release of [https://github.com/exelix11/SwitchThemeInjector/releases NXThemesInstaller].
* A <code>.nxtheme</code> file, either from the internet or one you made yourself.
* If you want to install custom fonts, the fonts you want to install in <code>.ttf</code> format.

=== Steps ===
# Copy the <code>.nxtheme</code> and/or <code>.ttf</code> file(s) to the <code>themes</code> folder on the root of your SD card, creating the folder if it does not exist.
# Open the Homebrew Menu and launch <code>NXThemesInstaller</code>.
#* If this is your first time launching NXThemesInstaller, you may be asked to extract the home menu and read some information. Continue until you reach the main screen.
# Navigate to <code>Themes</code>.
# Select a theme and press A to install it, or select multiple themes using Y and press A to install multiple themes at once.
# Reboot to see changes.

== Troubleshooting ==

=== Crashing on boot after installing a theme ===
This means the theme is either outdated or broken. You can fix this by deleting the folder <code>atmosphere/contents/0100000000001000</code> from your SD. Note: on Atmosphère 0.9.4 or lower, <code>contents</code> is called <code>titles</code>.
If this fixes the issue, you can attempt to re-install the theme to see if the theme was broken or the crash was just because of a firmware update.

=== NXThemeInstaller crashes when you launch it ===
This is probably due to the archive bit being set on either the app or the nxthemes. This is usually the result of copying files to an sd card via a Mac. If you are experiencing this issue, try launching hekate and navigating to <code>Tools</code> -> <code>Arch bit · RCM · Touch · Pkg1/2</code> -> <code>Fix Archive Bit</code>, then try again.

== Using themezer-nx ==

=== What you need ===
* The latest release of [https://github.com/suchmememanyskill/themezer-nx/releases/latest Themezer-NX].
* The latest release of [https://github.com/exelix11/SwitchThemeInjector/releases NXThemesInstaller].

=== Steps ===
# Boot Switch CFW, open the Homebrew Menu and launch <code>Themezer-NX</code>.
#* If you get an error saying failed to connect to themezer, ensure you have an internet connection set up.
#* If you're on emuMMC, make sure you set up dns.mitm or 90dns before connecting.
# Find a theme to install.
#* Pressing X will allow you to select which type of theme you're looking for (home screen, lock screen etc).

* A <code>.nxtheme</code> file, either from the internet or one you made yourself.
* If you want to install custom fonts, the fonts you want to install in <code>.ttf</code> format.

=== Steps ===
# Copy the <code>.nxtheme</code> and/or <code>.ttf</code> file(s) to the <code>themes</code> folder on the root of your SD card, creating the folder if it does not exist.
# Open the Homebrew Menu and launch <code>NXThemesInstaller</code>.
#* If this is your first time launching NXThemesInstaller, you may be asked to extract the home menu and read some information. Continue until you reach the main screen.
# Navigate to <code>Themes</code>.
# Select a theme and press A to install it, or select multiple themes using Y and press A to install multiple themes at once.

== Troubleshooting ==

=== Crashing on boot after installing a theme ===
This means the theme is either outdated or broken. You can fix this by deleting the folder <code>atmosphere/contents/0100000000001000</code> from your SD.
If this fixes the issue, you can attempt to re-install the theme to see if the theme was broken or the crash was just because of a firmware update.

=== NXThemeInstaller crashes when you launch it ===
This is probably due to the archive bit being set on either the app or the nxthemes. This is usually the result of copying files to an sd card via a Mac. If you are experiencing this issue, try launching hekate and navigating to <code>Tools</code> -> <code>Arch bit · RCM · Touch · Pkg1/2</code> -> <code>Fix Archive Bit</code>, then try again.

#* If this is your first time launching NXThemesInstaller, you may be asked to extract the home menu and read some information. Continue until you reach the main screen.
# Navigate to <code>Themes</code>.
# Select a theme and press A to install it, or select multiple themes using Y and press A to install multiple themes at once.
# Reboot to see changes.

== Troubleshooting ==

=== Crashing on boot after installing a theme ===
This means the theme is either outdated or broken. You can fix this by deleting the folder <code>atmosphere/contents/0100000000001000</code> from your SD.
If this fixes the issue, you can attempt to re-install the theme to see if the theme was broken or the crash was just because of a firmware update.

=== NXThemeInstaller crashes when you launch it ===
This is probably due to the archive bit being set on either the app or the nxthemes. This is usually the result of copying files to an sd card via a Mac. If you are experiencing this issue, try launching hekate and navigating to <code>Tools</code> -> <code>Arch bit · RCM · Touch · Pkg1/2</code> -> <code>Fix Archive Bit</code>, then try again.

Switch:Theming

2022-06-22T17:24:19Z

Bleck9999: Create Switch:Theming

Using custom firmware, you can create unique styles and layouts for your Switch Home Menu.

= Making a Theme =
todo

= Installing a Theme =

Custom themes made by other users can be found in several places. You can use [https://github.com/suchmememanyskill/themezer-nx/ Themezer-NX] to download and install themes on your switch, or visit [https://reddit.com/r/nxthemes r/NXThemes] or [https://themezer.net themezer.net] and install the .nxtheme file manually.

== Using themezer-nx ==

=== What you need ===
* The latest release of [https://github.com/suchmememanyskill/themezer-nx/releases/latest Themezer-NX].
* The latest release of [https://github.com/exelix11/SwitchThemeInjector/releases NXThemesInstaller].

=== Steps ===
# Boot Switch CFW, open the Homebrew Menu and launch <code>Themezer-NX</code>.
#* If you get an error saying failed to connect to themezer, ensure you have an internet connection set up.
#* If you're on emuMMC, make sure you set up dns.mitm or 90dns before connecting.
# Find a theme to install.
#* Pressing X will allow you to select which type of theme you're looking for (home screen, lock screen etc).
#* Pressing Y will allow you to search for themes that fit certain keywords and change the sorting order.
# Once you have found a theme you would like to install, select the theme and press A or tap the theme.
# You can now either press <code>Install</code> or <code>Download Only</code>.
# Repeat for any additional themes you want to download.
# Exit the application by pressing the + button or pressing X followed by <code>Exit Themezer-NX</code>. This will install any themes you have queued for installation.
# Press + to install your themes.
# Press A to reboot.

== Using NXThemesInstaller ==

=== What you need ===
* The latest release of [https://github.com/exelix11/SwitchThemeInjector/releases NXThemesInstaller].
* A <code>.nxtheme</code> file, either from the internet or one you made yourself.

=== Steps ===
# Copy the <code>.nxtheme</code> file(s) to the <code>themes</code> folder on the root of your SD card, creating the folder if it does not exist.
# Open the Homebrew Menu and launch <code>NXThemesInstaller</code>.
#* If this is your first time launching NXThemesInstaller, you may be asked to extract the home menu and read some information. Continue until you reach the main screen.
# Navigate to <code>Themes</code>.
# Select a theme and press A to install it, or select multiple themes using Y and press A to install multiple themes at once.
# Reboot to see changes.

Hacks Guide Wiki:To-do list

2022-06-22T16:36:23Z

Bleck9999: /*Move from main guides*/

This is where we can keep a list of things that should be done, such as pages that need creating or adding to.

{{ombox|text=For organizational purposes, please mark items based on their status (and link them if applicable):
* {{Done}} <code>{{tl|Done}}</code>
* {{WIP}} <code>{{tl|WIP}}</code>
* {{Skip}} <code>{{tl|Skip}}</code>}}

== Pages ==

=== Main Page ===

A nice [[Main Page]] should be made. It should include a simple explanation of what homebrew is, then links to the main guides, the "Things to do" pages, and maybe troubleshooting.

A search box could be put here too.

<pre><nowiki>
<inputbox>
type=search
placeholder=Placeholder text here...
width=70
</inputbox>
</nowiki></pre>

=== Console introductions ===

These pages should be like an all-around intro to things about hacking a console. Links to guides on getting hacks set up, links to the "things to do", maybe troubleshooting for when things go wrong...

I'm not sure how necessary these pages are though, if there isn't enough stuff that can't also go on the "Things to do" pages. [[User:Ihaveahax|ihaveahax]] ([[User talk:Ihaveahax|talk]]) 02:52, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

* [[Nintendo 3DS]]
* [[Wii U]]
* [[Nintendo Switch]]

=== "Things to do" pages ===

A simple page that someone new to homebrew/cfw can use to start doing something with their newly-hacked console.

* [[3DS:Things to do]]
* [[Wii U:Things to do]]
* [[Switch:Things to do]]

=== Game pages ===

I think we should have pages for individual games with lists of mods, save editors, guides, and maybe other things.

I just picked a random assortment of some popular games. Any game with a mod, save editor, useful hacking guide, etc. can have its own page!

* [[3DS:Animal Crossing: New Leaf]]
* [[3DS:Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]
* [[3DS:Pokémon X and Y]]
* [[3DS:Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]
* [[3DS:Pokémon Sun and Moon]]
* [[3DS:Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]
* [[3DS:Mario Kart 7]]
* [[Wii U:Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]
* [[Wii U:Mario Kart 8]]
* [[Switch:Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]

=== Guides ===

Any sort of guides that could be useful, game-specific or not.

* [[Formatting an SD card/Windows]]
* [[Formatting an SD card/Mac]]
* [[Formatting an SD card/Linux]]
* [[3DS:Keyboard Unbrick]]
* [[3DS:Export saves]]
* [[3DS:System Transfer]]

** {{WIP}} [[3DS:System Transfer/Target is stock]]
* [[3DS:GBA games]]
* [[3DS:Setting game locales]]
* [[3DS:Remove outlines in Pokémon games]]

=== Move from main guides ===

Some pages could be moved from the main guides to here.

Don't actually delete these from the main guide until we think this site is ready.

* [[Switch:Gamecard Reader]] {{Done}} Gamecard reader firmware info page
* [[Switch:zadig]] Manually install libusbk for TegraRCMGui

=== Move from Kurisu commands ===

Some stuff that's currently in {{gh|nh-server/Kurisu}} could also be put here. Look inside {{gh|nh-server/Kurisu/tree/main/cogs/assistance-cmds|assistance-cmds}}. Like in the next section, any external guides probably could not just be copied here since we may not have permission to do that.

* Checking 3DS local IP

* Moving to a new SD card
** [[3DS:Moving SD Cards]] {{WIP}}
* [https://lendunistus.github.io/wiiuvcextract-guide/ Wii U VC Extract]

Ideas for new pages. Some of these pages already have established guides, which can be used as a reference (but may not be copied directly, depending on permission, and some of them may be out of date anyway)

== Translations==

The pages being moved from 3ds.hacks.guide or wiiu.hacks.guide might have translations that need to be brought over.

Also pages on how to translate stuff on this wiki need to be made too.

==Technical ==

*Create lots of redirect pages. Someone will probably search things like "Pokemon x" or "Fix black screen" so we should create those pages that point to the right place. This needs some automation too.
**[[Special:BulkPageCreate]], {{gh|ihaveamac/mediawiki-extensions-BulkPageCreate}}
*Create a game template page, so anyone who wants to make a page for a specific game knows where to start.
**[[Hacks Guide Wiki:Game pages/Template]] (maybe even make it a preload-able template?)
* Make it more obvious that a revision other than the main one is being viewed. Preferably with a MediaWiki hook but JS will probably do.

Switch:ExFAT

Bleck9999: Create Switch:exFAT

== exFAT on Switch ==

For all versions after 1.0.0, the Switch has been able to support exFAT microSD cards through the use of an update provided by Nintendo. If an exFAT microSD card is inserted without the exFAT update installed, the Switch will display the system update prompt, even if the Switch is on the latest firmware version.

== Reasons not to use exFAT ==

Despite the 4GiB file size limitation of FAT32, exFAT is not recommended for multiple reasons:

* Attempting to boot CFW using an exFAT formatted SD card without the exFAT update installed will fail.
* The exFAT driver used by the Switch operating system is prone to causing corruption.
* Even with large games and exFAT, Nintendo doesn't use files larger than 4GiB.

Bleck9999: Add latest system version to table

Certain switch firmware (HOS) revisions also update the gamecard controller (lotus) firmware. This can cause issues if your HOS version and lotus firmware version do not match.

At the time of writing there have been 4 HOS versions that updated the lotus firmware: 4.1.0, 9.0.0, 11.0.0 and 12.0.0. The lotus update is applied by the bootloader, meaning if you boot using the stock bootloader (note the "stock" option in hekate does not do this) your gamecard controller will be updated.

{| class="wikitable"
! Lotus version !! Compatible HOS versions
|-
| 1.0.0 || 1.0.0-4.0.1
|-
| 4.1.0 || 4.1.0-8.1.1
|-
| 9.0.0 || 9.0.0-11.0.1
|-
| 12.0.0 || 12.0.0-{{SystemVersion|hac}}
|}

Once your lotus firmware has been upgraded, it '''cannot''' be downgraded.
Additionally, if your lotus version does not match your HOS version as shown above, game cards will not work and attempting to boot with a gamecard inserted will cause a crash with error code 2002-2634.
You can boot with mismatched lotus and HOS version with the gamecard removed, but you will be unable to use gamecards.

== If you updated while preserving fuses ==
Both atmosphere and hekate will automatically prevent your gamecard controller from updating, causing it to retain the lower lotus firmware. This means it can still work on the lower switch firmware version, but will not work on the newer switch firmware.

If you want to use gamecards after the update, understanding that any lotus updates '''cannot''' be reversed, you can disable this check.

* If you boot using fusee.bin: add nogc=0 to SD:/atmosphere/config/stratosphere.ini.
* If you boot using hekate FSS0: launch hekate and navigate to Options, then change Auto NoGC to OFF.

=== Move from pins in NH channels ===

A lot of useful stuff is probably stored in pins in the NH server. Those should be put here for ease of access.

* [[Switch:transfersave]] Transferring save data from emuMMC to sysMMC
* [[Switch:gcreader]] Gamecard reader firmware info page
* [[Switch:zadig]] Manually install libusbk for TegraRCMGui

=== Move from Kurisu commands ===

Some stuff that's currently in {{gh|nh-server/Kurisu}} could also be put here. Look inside {{gh|nh-server/Kurisu/tree/main/cogs/assistance-cmds|assistance-cmds}}.

* Checking 3DS local IP
* Moving to a new SD card

* Switch and exFAT

=== General concepts ===
Ideas for new pages. Some of these pages already have established guides, which can be used as a reference (but may not be copied directly, depending on permission, and some of them may be out of date anyway)

== Translations ==

The pages being moved from 3ds.hacks.guide or wiiu.hacks.guide might have translations that need to be brought over.

Also pages on how to translate stuff on this wiki need to be made too.

== Technical ==

* Create lots of redirect pages. Someone will probably search things like "Pokemon x" or "Fix black screen" so we should create those pages that point to the right place. This needs some automation too.
** [[Special:BulkPageCreate]], {{gh|ihaveamac/mediawiki-extensions-BulkPageCreate}}
* Create a game template page, so anyone who wants to make a page for a specific game knows where to start.
** [[Hacks Guide Wiki:Game pages/Template]] (maybe even make it a preload-able template?)
* Make it more obvious that a revision other than the main one is being viewed. Preferably with a MediaWiki hook but JS will probably do.
