The Nintendo Switch is a hybrid handheld/home game console released by Nintendo in 2017.

Multiple revisions of the Switch have been released - out of them, only the original "Erista" models made before July 2018 are currently hackable. Other patched Erista models may use the software method "Caffeine" if they run on versions 4.0.0 to 4.1.0.

==Getting started==

The current recommended setup is [[Switch:Hekate|Hekate]] + [[Switch:Atmosphere|Atmosphère]].

Instructions on setting up homebrew and custom firmware on your console can be found here:

== Models ==
The current released models of the switch are:

* "Erista" (original switch)
** "Erista" systems manufactured before June 2018 are vulnerable to the [[Switch:Fusee Gelee|Fusee Gelee]] exploit, and are generally referred to as "unpatched"
** "Erista" systems manufactured after June 2018 cannot be hacked via software at this time (unless they run on versions 4.0.0-4.1.0 with the method Caffeine)
* "Mariko" ("redbox" switch)
** "Mariko" systems feature a new SOC, which allows them to run cooler, and have a longer battery life
** "Mariko" systems cannot be hacked via software at this time
* Switch Lite
** The Switch Lite is a budget model, without TV output, detachable joycons, and with several features removed.
** The Switch Lite cannot be hacked via software at this time
* OLED model ("Aula")
** The Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) is identical to the "Mariko" systems, but features a larger, OLED display, expanded internal storage, an improved kickstand and improved speakers
** The Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) cannot be hacked via software at this time

== Hello! ==

This is a test... [[User:Ihaveahax|ihaveahax]] ([[User talk:Ihaveahax|talk]]) 00:48, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

dead chat lol -botman

== delete my account ==

just delete my account - panencakes

no :chadgif: - eip

By not deleting my account upon request, this website is in violation of Europes GDPR laws and will be reported if I do not have my account deleted within the next 24 hours, this website is already in violation by not allowing users to delete their accounts already.

I mean I'm sure we can do it. but if you're trying to take the nuclear option and remove all your contributions, I believe they're already licensed as cc-by-SA, regardless of your account status, so... -eip

I dont want my contributions removed, I just want my account and all personal data collected on me to be deleted, im not trying to take a "nuclear option" like you are assuming, I just dont wanna be associated with this website or the community anymore.

"Mr.whine" didn't have to give you a 24h deadline either, I could have took your no and had the whole website shut down but I didn't, you should think next time you speak eip because your mouth can cause problems for everyone else

my brother in christ make up your mind
do you want everything to be deleted and to 'not be associated with the community' or do you want to hide with alts and watch things
you can't have it both ways

whether I have an "alt" or not is unrelated to me requesting to have my account and information deleted, (and fyi I can totally have it both ways and there is nothing you can do about it :dogekek:)

:{{ping|panencakes}} As far as I can tell, the only personal data we have from you would be your email address, which I don't mind deleting from the database. That is as much as I can do though. Since you asked to be removed from the wiki I blocked your account, if you ever want to appeal this, use [[User talk:Panencakes|your talk page]].

== Offline preservation ==

Hello, how are you? I recently got an old 3ds and I was able to mod it and I owe you a lot of joy.

Have you thought about leaving a link to download the whole page and have it archived offline in case “something happens”?

I'm making notes and saving files for the console I have, but if maybe in the future I get other models and this beautiful page disappears all the knowledge would be lost!

Maybe have a Tor/i2P version or seed with torrent.... I don't know, a plan B.

Thanks for all your effort, have a nice day beautiful people. :DDD!! [[User:Vigilante8|Vigilante8]] ([[User talk:Vigilante8|talk]]) 23:32, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

:A download for the wiki? Currently you can do this a few ways:
:*"Print" the page and save it to a PDF, so you have an always-accessible version of it
:*Use [[Special:Export]] to export any pages you want, and then import the resulting XML file to a second MediaWiki instance
:There are private daily backups of the database, an XML export, and settings. I don't currently have something to export something like html copies of every page automatically, but I'm not against having publicly-accessible exports for offline use.

::I was more like having the whole wiki and all the necessary files offline to follow it, I haven't done this for a long time but once I used Httrack to download a forum before it dies, but well I'm not a connoisseur of this, some things worked, others not so much.
::Oh what the heck I'm going to try it tomorrow xD , it's very late here, I didn't think someone would respond so fast. Thanks my friend. I'll read you tomorrow! [[User:Vigilante8|Vigilante8]] ([[User talk:Vigilante8|talk]]) 23:56, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

== Edit review ==

Hi! I kind of made a bombshell of an edit at [[3DS:Error codes]] if anybody can verify it. Sorry in advance! [[User:AyaShameimaruBA|AyaShameimaruBA]] ([[User talk:AyaShameimaruBA|talk]]) 20:15, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

== Double redirects ==

I'm thinking about fixing some of the double redirects on the wiki. Is that a good idea? Should I cross them off of the [[Special:DoubleRedirects|double redirects page]] straight away?

3DS:Alternate Exploits/Preparing menuhax67 (kartdlphax)

2024-09-05T16:09:40Z

Galactica: fixed a minor formatting issue with the "what you need" list

== Required Reading ==
[https://github.com/PabloMK7/kartdlphax kartdlphax] is an exploit for the game "[[3DS:Mario Kart 7|Mario Kart 7]]", compatible with System Versions 1.0.0 through 11.17.0 for USA/EUR/JPN region consoles primarily made made by [https://github.com/PabloMK7 PabloMK7]. It was used to launch [https://github.com/TuxSH/universal-otherapp universal-otherapp] in the past, that got patched with the latest version, so this exploit can be used now to prepare the secondary exploits [https://github.com/zoogie/unSAFE_MODE unSAFE_MODE](you can find this on the [[3dsguide:index|main guide]]) or [https://github.com/zoogie/menuhax67 menuhax67] on 11.16.0+. Credits go to [https://github.com/zoogie zoogie] for both of these exploits. If you're on an older version(<=11.15.0-47X), you can use universal-otherapp instead. This page covers preparing menuhax67 to access the Homebrew Launcher since accessing the Homebrew Launcher from kartdlphax directly not possible currently. On the next page you will find out how to access the Homebrew Launcher with menuhax67 set up. To use these exploits, kartdlphax includes the [https://github.com/PabloMK7/3dsropxploitinjector 3DS ROP xPloit Injector]

To use this exploit, you need:

*A second 3DS with [[custom firmware]] (the '''source 3DS''') that is the same region as the 3DS you are trying to modify (the '''target 3DS''')
*A physical or digital copy of Mario Kart 7 that is the same region as both consoles
*An SD card for both devices

==What you need==
*The latest release of [https://github.com/PabloMK7/kartdlphax/releases/latest kartdlphax] (<code>plugin.3gx</code>)
*The latest release of [https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases/latest Luma3DS] (the Luma3DS <code>.zip</code> file)
*The latest release of [https://github.com/zoogie/menuhax67/releases/latest menuhax67] (the menuhax67 <code>.zip</code> file)

==Instructions==

===Section I - Prep Work===
On the '''source 3DS''' (the 3DS with custom firmware):

#Insert the SD card of your '''source 3DS''' in your computer
#Copy <code>boot.firm</code> from the Luma3DS <code>.zip</code> to the root of your SD card
#*The root of the SD card refers to the initial directory on your SD card where you can see the Nintendo 3DS folder, but are not inside of it
#Copy kartdlphax’s <code>plugin.3gx</code> to the following directory on the '''source 3DS'''’s SD card, depending on the '''region of your copy of Mario Kart 7''':
#* USA: <code>luma/plugins/0004000000030800</code>
#* EUR: <code>luma/plugins/0004000000030700</code>
#*JPN: <code>luma/plugins/0004000000030600</code>
#*Create the <code>plugins</code> and <code>00040000...</code> folders if they do not already exist
# Eject the SD card and put it in the '''source 3DS'''

On the '''target 3DS''' (the 3DS that you are trying to launch the Homebrew Launcher on):

# Insert the SD card of your '''target 3DS''' in your computer
#Copy <code>boot.firm</code> and <code>boot.3dsx</code> from the Luma3DS <code>.zip</code> to the root of your SD card
#Copy the <code>Launcher.dat</code> for your region/version from the menuhax67 <code>.zip</code> to the root of your SD card

===Section II - kartdlphax ===

#Power on the '''source 3DS'''
#*If you are prompted to set up Luma3DS, just press START to save the configuration
#Once in the HOME Menu, press (Left Shoulder) + (Down D-Pad) + (Select) to bring up the Rosalina menu
#Select “Enable plugin loader”
#Press (B) to exit the Rosalina menu
#Launch Mario Kart 7
#*Ensure that wireless connectivity is enabled
#Navigate to <code>Local Multiplayer</code>. A menu should pop up
#* If the screen freezes, hold the power button for fifteen seconds to force power off your device, then try again
#*If you have launched kartdlphax previously, the last selected settings will be loaded. If they are correct, select <code>Use settings</code> and skip the next 3 steps. If they are incorrect, select <code>Change settings</code> and proceed.
# Select your '''target 3DS''' device type (Old 3DS family or New 3DS family)
# Select the exploit type <code>3DS ROP xPloit Injector</code>
#A confirmation menu will show up. If the settings shown on the top screen are correct, select <code>Use settings</code>
#*If the settings are not correct, press <code>Change settings</code> and modify them accordingly
#Select <code>Create Group</code>
#* If the source 3DS freezes at this point and you are using a cartridge, try installing the cartridge to the system
#Power on the '''target 3DS'''
#*Ensure that wireless connectivity is enabled
#On the '''target 3DS''', open the Download Play application (), then select “Nintendo 3DS”
#Join the group created by the '''source 3DS'''
#Select “Start” on the '''source 3DS''' once it has detected the '''target 3DS'''
#Once multiplayer has loaded, navigate to <code>Grand Prix</code> -> <code>50cc</code> -> (any driver) -> <code>Mushroom Cup</code> -> <code>OK</code>
#Wait a while (a percentage should be displayed on the '''source 3DS''')
#If the exploit was successful, the '''target 3DS''' will have booted into the 3DS ROP xPloit Injector
#*If the exploit was not successful, power off the '''source 3DS''' and '''target 3DS''' and start again from the beginning of <code>Section II - kartdlphax</code>
# Press (Y) to install menuhax67
# The '''target 3DS''' will automatically power off
{{Info|text=You will not need to use your source 3DS to complete any further steps on this guide. Any further steps should only be completed on the target 3DS.}}

3DS:Input redirection

2024-09-01T18:35:17Z

Galactica: Added instructions to disable InputRedirection and made a few minor tweaks

{{shortcut|3DS:IR}}
Input Redirection enables you to redirect your controller input directly into your console. All controllers are supported as long as you can connect them to your computer somehow. If you have multiple controllers connected, it will combine your inputs. To use this utility, you need to have [[Custom firmware|CFW]] with Luma3DS on the latest version installed into your console.

== What You Need ==
* The latest version of [https://github.com/TuxSH/InputRedirectionClient-Qt/releases/tag/v2.1 InputRedirectionClient-Qt] (for your computer).
* Your device's [[3DS:Check local IP address|local IP address]].

== Instructions ==
# Connect the controller you want to use with your console to your computer.
# Extract '''InputRedirection-Qt''' to a folder in your computer and open it.
# In the IP Address field, input your [[3DS:Check local IP address|device's local IP address]].
# On your device, press {{B|L}} + {{B|D-PAD DOWN}} + {{B|SELECT}} to open Rosalina Menu.
#* This is the default configuration; if you have broken buttons, you may be using an alternate configuration that changes the key combination to {{B|X}}+{{B|Y}} or {{B|Y}}+{{B|B}}
# Navigate to '''Miscellaneous options...'''.
# Select '''Start InputRedirection'''.
# Press {{B|B}} until you exit out of Rosalina Menu.
{{success|InputRedirection has been set up successfully!}}

=== Disabling InputRedirection ===
# On your device, press {{B|L}} + {{B|D-PAD DOWN}} + {{B|SELECT}} to open the Rosalina Menu.
#* This is the default configuration; if you have broken buttons, you may be using an alternate configuration that changes the key combination to {{B|X|Y}} or {{B|Y|B}}
# Navigate to '''Miscellaneous options...'''.
# Select '''Start InputRedirection'''.
# Press {{B|B}} until you exit out of the Rosalina Menu.
# Close '''InputRedirection-Qt''' on your computer and disconnect your controller
{{info|InputRedirection has been successfully disabled.}}

== Troubleshooting ==
=== My controller is not detected ===

InputRedirection can only detect XInput, which is present in Xbox controllers. If you are not using an Xbox controller, you should use [https://github.com/x360ce/x360ce/releases/tag/3.2.9.82 x360ce] to use your controller.

=== My inputs are not recognised ===

Try rebooting your device and InputRedirection-Qt as well. If the issue still persists, make sure your 3DS and computer are connected to the same internet connection and that you have a stable internet connection.

=== My issue is not listed here ===
