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!
|
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
