Radostin04: Create the Nintendo Switch landing page (still very WIP)

{{Page WIP}}__NOTOC____NOEDITSECTION__

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.

{| style="width: 100%; table-layout: fixed;"
| style="vertical-align: top;" class="collapse-on-mobile" |
==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 currently 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 refered to as "unpatched"
** "Erista" systems manufactured after June 2018 cannot be hacked at this time
* "Mariko" ("redbox" switch)
** "Mariko" systems feature a new SOC, which allows them to run cooler and with a longer battery life
** "Mariko" systems cannot be hacked at this time
* Switch Lite
** The Switch Lite is a budget model, without TV output, detachable joycons and several other systems
** The Switch Lite cannot be hacked 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

3DS:Game plugins/NTR

2022-08-09T19:46:13Z

Radostin04: I used the wrong template.

{{Page WIP}}

NTR is a generally outdated plugin loader. However, it is still neccesary to load older plugins in the .plg format. The only way to load NTR on modern CFW setups is using BootNTRSelector

== Installing BootNTRSelector ==

=== Using [[3DS:Universal Updater|Universal Updater]] ===

==== What you need ====

* [[3DS:Universal Updater|Universal Updater]]

==== Installation ====

# Search for <code>BootNTRSelector</code> in Universal Updater
#* Get <code>BootNTRSelector.cia</code> if you are on a New 3DS or if you are on an old 3DS and want to use plugins with non-extended memory games
#* Get <code>BootNTRSelector_Mode3.cia</code> only if you are on old 3DS and want to use plugins with extennded memory games
# Search for <code>Luma3DS [Nanquitas]</code> in Universal Updater, and download the <code>boot.firm</code> file
# Reboot your system
# In the Luma configuration screen, select any options you need, then press START
#* Hint: If you don't know what the options are, you don't need any

=== Manually ===

==== What you need ====

* [https://github.com/Nanquitas/BootNTR/releases BootNTRSelector]
** Get <code>BootNTRSelector.cia</code> if you are on a New 3DS or if you are on an old 3DS and want to use plugins with non-extended memory games
** Get <code>BootNTRSelector_Mode3.cia</code> only if you are on old 3DS and want to use plugins with extennded memory games
** Note that you can also get BootNTRSelector by searching for it in [[3DS:Universal Updater|Universal Updater]]
* [https://github.com/Nanquitas/Luma3DS/releases The 3GX loader fork of Luma3DS]
** Note that the 3GX loader fork of Luma3DS is also available on Universal Updater under the name <code>Luma3DS [Nanquitas]</code>

==== Installation ====

* Copy the BootNTRSelector .cia file to your SD card
** You may skip this if you use Universal Updater to install BootNTRSelector
* Copy the <code>boot.firm</code> from the 3GX loader fork of Luma to the root of the SD card, replacing the <code>boot.firm</code> already there
** You may skip this if you use Universal Updater to install Luma3DS [Nanquitas]
* Insert the SD card into your system and power it on
* On the Luma Configuration screen, enable any options that you need, then press Start
** Hint: If you don't know what the options are, you don't need them
* Install the BootNTRSelector .cia file using FBI

== Using NTR ==

=== Plugin location ===
NTR will look for plugins in the <code>plugin</code> folder on the root of your SD card. Each plugin must be inside a folder named with a game's [[3DS:Title ID|Title ID]]. Inside the folder, put your .plg file

For example, the path may look like <code>plugin</code> -> <code>00040000001B5000</code> -> <code>plugin.plg</code>

=== Launching NTR ===

# Open the BootNTRSelector app on your home menu
# Select 3.6 on the version selection screen
#* Even if the plugin you are using says that it requires another version, try using 3.6 instead. Only use another version if 3.6 will not owrk
# Launch a game that you have a plugin for. You should see a green flash upon loading the game - that means that the plugin is active
# Look at the information on the plugin's specific page for usage instructions - usage will differ per plugin

=== Usage notes ===

* You cannot play more than one game with NTR without rebooting the system - when you are done playing a game, power off the system
* You must launch NTR every time you wish to use a plugin
* Certain applets, such as the New 3DS's internet browser, may crash if you try to open them while NTR is active

3DS:Wireless streaming

2022-08-09T19:06:11Z

Radostin04: section on using line in to receive audio

{{Page WIP}}
{{Warning|text=The guides below can't be used to stream DS games, DSiWare, and GBA games. You will need a hardware capture card to do that.}}
This page will show you how to stream your 3DS console's screens to your computer over WiFi. For both methods, keep the following things in mind;

*Your console and your computer need to be on the same network.
*Streaming audio over WiFi currently isn't possible, you will need to use an AUX cable and a device with Line In to receive audio.
*If you have a poor connection, you may not get the best results.
*While you shouldn't stream from an Old 3DS console due to the very low frames you will get, the section is still here as a 'proof of concept' thing that you can mess around with. '''It is not intended for practical use.'''

==Finding your Console's IP==
You'll need to know the local IP address of your 3DS later, so it's a good idea to find it now.
{{3DS:Check local IP address}}

==Streaming with NTR+Snickerstream (recommended)==
{{Critical|text=This method is not possible with Old 3DS models. You will need to follow the HzMod guide below.}}{{Info|text=At the time of writing this, BootNTR Selector is not compatible with the latest standard release of Luma3DS. To combat this, we will be using a custom build with support for BootNTR.}}
===What You Need===
*Your console's IP from the first section
*The latest release of [https://github.com/RattletraPM/Snickerstream/releases/latest Snickerstream]
*The latest release of [https://github.com/Nanquitas/Luma3DS/releases/latest Luma3DS 3GX Loader]
*The latest release of [https://github.com/Nanquitas/BootNTR/releases/latest BootNTR Selector]
*[https://github.com/Steveice10/FBI/releases/latest FBI] installed on your console

===Section I: Prep Work===
#Ensure that your console and your computer are on the same network
#Download and extract the latest Snickerstream <code>.zip</code> file
#Download the latest Luma3DS 3GX Loader <code>boot.firm</code> file
#Download the latest BootNTR Selector <code>.cia</code> file
#Power off your console
#Take the SD card out of your console and put it into your computer
#Replace the <code>boot.firm</code> file on the root of your SD card with the Luma3DS 3GX Loader one you downloaded
#Copy the BootNTR selector <code>.cia</code> file to your SD card
#*You may put this file where you can easily access it
#Put your SD card back into your console

===Section II: Installing CIAs===
#Power on your console
#*If you are prompted with a Luma3DS configuration screen, just press START
#Open FBI
#Press A on <code>SD</code> at the top of your bottom screen
# Find the BootNTR Selector <code>.cia</code> file that you copied, press A on it and select <code>Install and delete CIA</code>
#*Once you are done, press START to exit FBI

==Streaming with HzMod+Snickerstream==
{{Critical|text=This method is only favorable for Old 3DS models, and even then it does not perform very well. Do not use this method if you are using a New 3DS.}}
=== What You Need===
*Your console's IP from the first section
*The latest release of [https://github.com/RattletraPM/Snickerstream/releases/latest Snickerstream]
*[https://puu.sh/zgjTU/3acfc28fa5.zip HzMod]
*[https://github.com/Steveice10/FBI/releases/latest FBI] installed on your console

===Section I: Prep Work===
#Ensure that your console and your computer are on the same network
#Download and extract the latest Snickerstream <code>.zip</code> file
#Download and extract the HzMod <code>.zip</code> file
#Take the SD card out of your console and put it into your computer
#Copy the <code>HorizonM.cia</code> and <code>HzLoad.cia</code> files from where you extracted the HzMod <code>.zip</code> file to your SD card
#*You may put these files anywhere where you can easily access them
#*If you plan on streaming extended memory games, Copy the <code>HzLoad_HIMEM.cia</code> file to your SD card as well
#Put your SD card back into your console

===Section II: Installing CIAs ===
#Power on your console if it is not already on
#Open FBI
#Press A on <code>SD</code> at the top of your bottom screen
# Find the <code>.cia</code> files that you copied, press A on each one and select <code>Install and delete CIA</code>
#*Once you are done, press START to exit FBI

=== Section III: Streaming===
#Open the Snickerstream <code>.exe</code> file from where you extracted it
#Change the Streaming app on the right side of the Snickerstream window to <code>HzMod</code> in the dropdown
# On your console, open all the gifts that appeared on your HOME menu and open HorizonM Loader
#*If you plan on streaming extended memory games, open HorizonM HIMEM Loader instead
#*Your notification LED should now turn cyan, meaning it's ready for streaming
#Input your console's IP from the first section into the IP box in the Snickerstream window
#*You may also [https://github.com/RattletraPM/Snickerstream/wiki/Settings-101 adjust your settings] to your liking if you wish
#Click <code>Connect!</code> in the Snickerstream window
#*Your console's notification LED should turn green, and it's top screen should now be streamed to your computer
#*Low framerates are normal with this method, they can't be improved too much either, making this not very viable for actually streaming

==Using Line In to Receive Audio==
===What You Need===

* A 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable
* An audio in (line in or microphone in) port on your computer
** Some computers have a single "headphone" port that can be used for both audio output and input. To use one of these, you will need a Y splitter

=== How to use ===

# Connect your 3DS to your computer's audio input port with a 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable
# Pipe the audio form your audio input port into the software you intend to use
#* The exact steps will depend on the software you're using
#* If you are recording or streaming your game using [https://obsproject.com/ OBS], add a new audio capture source
#* If you are streaming your game via a service such as Discord, you will need to use software such as [https://vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/ Voicemeeter] to mix your microphone and 3DS audio inputs together
#** If you do not wish to speak while streaming, simply point the app at the 3DS's audio device
#* To simply listen to the audio, you can [https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/126383-listen-microphone-through-playback-device-windows.html listen to the audio input device in Windows]
