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

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 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

Extras
