Switch:Things to do

From Hacks Guide Wiki
(Redirected from Switch:Cfwuses)

This is the approved revision of this page, as well as being the most recent.

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)

Seedling icon. Custom firmware basics

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

Paint brush icon. Customization

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

Game controller icon. 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.

Wrench icon. Game mods, save editing, cheats

Warning icon Before you modify a game or its save, you should back up your save data.

Star icon. 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
