Finally got homebrew / custom firmware on your Switch? Here's a list of common things you can do with it.

Most, if not all of the homebrew listed should be on hbappstore (Homebrew App Store)

Custom firmware basics

Custom firmware has a bunch of useful settings and menus, see how to use them here!

Atmosphère configuration

Customization

Custom themes - a way of adding some more personality to your home menu

Emulation

Later on, this section will probably be turned into a standalone page.

RetroArch - an all-in-one frontend for emulators.

Standalone emulators not a complete list, just a quick overview:

mGBA - Game Boy Advance

Snes9x - SNES

NooDS - DS

pNES - NES

● If you have installed Android or Linux on your Switch, then you can also use Dolphin for Wii / GCN games. Be aware that performance may not be the best, it varies from game to game.

Game mods, save editing, cheats

JKSV - save manager, actively maintained

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

EdiZon - cheats. Don't use online, you will be ruining the experience of other players and they will get you banned.

Extras

TegraExplorer - a payload-based file explorer

Switchroot Android - install Android on your Switch

Switchroot Linux - install Linux on your Switch

sys-clk - safe overclocking tool. Only use the official version of sys-clk, any modification that remove the limits are dangerous and should be avoided.

Tesla-Menu - a overlay menu comparable to the Rosalina menu on the 3DS.

FTPD - a way to transfer files from and to your SD card wirelessly via FTP

Transferring SD cards
