Welcome

This is a guide for using a Nintendo Switch with CFW (Custom Firmware). This guide does NOT cover setting one up, only using it (running homebrews, enabling cheats, etc.).

This guide is primarily aimed at people who have not set up their own Switch CFW (if you've done that, you likely know how to use it). Rather, if you've set up a CFW for someone else, they can refer to this guide.

Assumed Setup

Note that this guide assumes you have a setup similar to the one produced by following this rentry guide.

With these additional modifications:

  • Auto Boot is enabled
  • reboot_payload.bin is replaced with a copy of the Hekate bootloader binary.

Using This Guide

Use the navigation (sidebar or hamburger menu) to explore the various topics. A good place to start is the definitions section, then the one-pager.
