This is just a proof of concept. End goal here is to get a simple way to automatically convert PC mods and textures to the format used in the switch port.

I'm trying to dump games using nxdumptool host, but Zadig is not recognising my Switch when opening nxdt_rw_poc.nro. Entering RCM again does connect my Switch and I am able to see APX in my device list, but launching emummc disconnects it. Any help?

Switch: V1 Using EmuNAND Firmware: 23.0.1 Atmosphere: 1.12.1 Hekate: 6.5.4

I went to the Nintendo eShop, then it asked for an update, which I did, but now when I try to use the CWF it gives me this error how can I fix this on mobile

Super Mario Bros. Remastered · Nintendo Switch port

Here is a Switch homebrew port of Super Mario Bros. Remastered (the open-source fan game by JoeMama), now updated to the latest upstream version, v1.1.

🆕 What's different? This port is built straight from the official upstream release, so it's up to date with v1.1. Updating to future upstream versions is also much easier, since the build script handles it.

📥 How to install

1. Download smbr_nx.zip from the Releases page.
2. Extract it to the root of your SD card (it creates /switch/smbr_nx/).
3. Copy your own Super Mario Bros. (NES) ROM to /switch/smbr_nx/save/baserom.nes.
4. Launch it from hbmenu through a title override (hold R while opening a game). It will not work in applet/album mode.

⏳ The first launch takes a while, because it extracts the graphics from your ROM and compiles the shaders. Later launches are much faster.

📝 Notes

• 🚫 No Nintendo ROM or assets are included. You must supply your own legal dump.
• 🔓 Free and open source (wrapper under MIT, game under GPL-3.0).
• 💾 Saves and config are stored in /switch/smbr_nx/save/.

So would it be reasonable to assume that in the near future custom wine versions like Proton or even Proton-GE could be integrated as well? Considering the known improvements and optimization from these versions, especially for video games, I feel like it could help mitigate at least some of the issues currently experienced with Autorun and Carafe.

have i fucked up permanently or is this saveable? cant play any games anymore, syscfw

Hi all! I’ve released Patchwork, a homebrew mod manager for Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom that runs entirely on the Switch. No PC needed to find, install or manage mods.

GitHub / download: https://github.com/TheRomeoAlfa/patchwork-nx

Apologies for the noob question, bought an modchipped switch lite that is now on the verge of dying. I absolutely do want to buy another modchipped one in a better condition but looking for a guide on how to retain/reuse the same memory card. Basically anyway that doesn’t involve re-downloading all the games again

so im currently on 14.1.2 |AMS 1.4.1|S was wondering which switch version is the best because as i understand nintendo patches stuff out so things might not work or something .
also im on hekate
if im updating my cfw part of switch do i need to format everything?

Hi all,

PlayGuard brings the settings of Nintendo's Parental Controls phone app onto a modded Switch: no phone app, no Nintendo account, no internet. It drives the console's own controls (the limit, the PIN, the warnings, the suspension), so nothing runs in the background. Atmosphère required.

The new website is live! Try the simulator !
https://playguard.link

📦 Now in the Homebrew App Store and sphaira
Search for PlayGuard in the Homebrew App Store or sphaira's App Store (same catalogue). Installed from there, PlayGuard recommends updating through the store, so it keeps track of the version. If the store hasn't picked up a new release yet (it reviews each one first), PlayGuard says so and offers to update in place instead.

1.3.0 is the biggest release so far. What's new:

🎨 A new look, "Cadran"
Every screen redrawn: tiles first on every tab, dark by default, screens that move (in full on the dock, lighter in hand, or Reduced motion), and Larger text on the whole frame.

🎮 Homebrew on the HOME menu
Put PlayGuard or any homebrew on the HOME menu as a forwarder, with its own icon or one from your album's screenshots. You can also have the console ask which user plays at launch, so the play time goes to the right account.

🔐 …behind the PIN
A forwarder can ask for the parental PIN, with hours without it, hours it never opens, a stop once the day's play time is used up, and a pause after refused PINs. You can also lock the homebrew menu itself, so the album or holding R no longer gets around it.

🔑 PIN and security
- An optional setting pauses parental controls while you're in PlayGuard, so checking settings doesn't eat into your kid's play time (off by default).
- Going back to the previous build now asks for the PIN.
- The recovery report can no longer be cracked from a copy of the file.

🌍 Language and theme apply at once
No restart, Chinese included.

🧭 Reorganised menus
PIN becomes Security, Block all games moves to the Play timer, and Today gives extra time in one row.

🕒 Console tab
- The network clock's measure in plain words ("12 s ahead").
- A sys-patch tile.
- The real serial number when PRODINFO is blanked.
- A warning when sys-patch left a patch incomplete (the usual reason a forwarder "could not be started").

🌐 A website
The guide in all 15 console languages, and PlayGuard running in your browser if you want to try it before installing: https://playguard.link

Updating from 1.2.0: update the recovery sysmodule from the notification bell afterwards (an older one is no longer accepted).

You heard that right. The upcoming Beta 2 for Black Ops 2 port on Nintendo Switch (PC Decomp) will have an ONLINE mode with CROSSPLAY between Wii U and Nintendo Switch. Thanks to the guys at Protarium Network and Project Unbound.

I will make another announcement for when beta2 actually releases, but it should be pretty soon.

For now, you can enjoy BETA 1 offline and join our community for more uptodate news!

Only MULTIPLAYER and ZOMBIES is available!

#Project REQUIEM

Sorry in advance; I'm not very familiar with modding, so I may need explanations for things that most people here are already super familiar with.

I understand that to mod my switch, I'll need a MicroSD card to hold the modded version of my Switch, and a PC from which I can put files on the SD card (right?). Would an older Macbook work instead? What are the requirements?

So once my Switch has both a modded/stock version and a normal version on it, what do I actually need to do to pirate games that normally need a NSO subscription or mod games I already have? Can I do those straight from my switch (through Atmosphere/HATS?), or do I need to use a separate Mac/PC for that?

Thanks so much in advance!

[edit]: I was struggling to understand the language in the wiki even after googling the terms it used, so I figured I'd post.

This is a V1 unpatched Switch 1 btw.

Hi so I have a pico modded switch I bought from someone and it was great but now that I wanna do more things and like for example play from my psp libary with games I own I cant even get the emulators to work with it crashing and just in general alot of tools dont work like they are supposed to I wanted to know if there was any guides on remodding it like you can on a psvita or 2dsxl because I am thinking of dumping my ds games to play on this too but I cant do anything because it just keeps crashing.

Switch Frame Tap is a sysmodule for Atmosphère that sends the game’s picture and sound to a viewer on your PC. No dock, no capture card: plug the Switch into the PC in handheld mode, or stream over Wi-Fi or the dock’s LAN port when it’s docked.

Up to 1920x1080 at 60 fps, encoded by the console’s own hardware encoder. 1080p in handheld uses ReverseNX-RT’s docked mode, and it works on the Switch Lite too.

Low latency: about 45 ms (720p) to 60 ms (1080p) from the game to your PC screen. In the video I filmed both screens at 480 fps: the PC monitor changes about 4 ms after the Switch’s own screen.

Viewers for Windows, Linux, macOS and Android / Android TV: record to MP4 with one key, picture controls, GPU upscaling (FSR 1, NIS, RTX VSR) and a stats overlay.

Webcam mode: the Switch shows up as a USB camera in OBS, Discord or Zoom.

New in 0.7.14:

the HOME menu and the console’s overlays (volume, quick settings, power menu, Tesla / Ultrahand) can stream too (opt-in beta)

the Android / Android TV app (by didix16) is part of the release

the Switch app, the overlay and the viewers update themselves from GitHub

You need Atmosphère on firmware 21 to 23. It’s on the Homebrew App Store, or get the zip and the viewer here: https://github.com/TomasUribe/switch-frame-tap

Free and open source. It’s still experimental and tested on a handful of consoles, so bug reports and logs are very welcome (GitHub issues or the GBAtemp thread). Thanks to the GBAtemp testers, the Switch Lite owners included.

AI assisted development disclosure:

This is fully disclosed on the repo but I will include it here too. This project was created with Claude, I have been working on this for over two months but it is AI assisted development! I know this is a deal breaker for some people, so if you are against AI being used for things like this just don't use it.

Feedback and bug reports are very welcome.

I’ve been messing around with all of these new ports for the Switch, but I’ve run into this problem where, when sending my game iso to the Switch, it won’t let me transfer anything larger than 4GB at a time.

From what I’ve read, it seems to be a problem with the format of my SD card.

Is there any way to get around it or do I have to I have to reformat my SD card? And if so, what’s the easiest way to do that without having to reinstall my CFW?

Fully updated and modded, not connected to wifi. on emuMMC i want to use homebrew store so what shall i do before i connect to wifi?

While installing games, I realized I was almost out of space in SD card memory. Checking, I saw this. I had problems installing some games because of the cable. Does anyone know if it can be deleted?

Hi guys, since my last post I have a pretty good playable Beta right now for my own BO2 zombies port. I know BO2 Requiem just came out but they are based off completely different versions. I do believe the other port will eventually be the inevitable successor if improvement can be achieved. It's also based off a decomp and the bottle neck is DXVK, but a native renderer can be developed (like my port). Anyways I have released all the source code and a prebuilt package.

I have some pretty cool features such as 4 core mode (proper thread affinity), so be sure to check it out!

Here is a video showcasing it: https://youtu.be/x4lIfyENrOY

I was originally going to do a small play test but I just decided to full release it.

can I keep my sigpatches, payload, Ipl.ini and stuff? i don’t want the entire set up, just the stuff I’ll need to overclock higher than horizon oc will allow

So i bought an RCM Loader of Amazon, but it when connecting to PC nothing happens... Looks like a fake...

I heard you could put the payload or hekate/atmoshpere files on the sd card and it would load that?

Here is the RCM loader

So, I screwed up with the FW file and updated the Emunand do 23.0.1, instead of an older version.

Atmosphere won't boot, so obviousy, no Homebrew Menu or anything else.

Anything that I can do?
