Nintendo Switch Modding - Must have HomeBrew Apps

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Here is my MUST HAVE list of homebrew apps in 2024. I'm sure there are tons that you all love and enjoy...but this is my starting point, and as usual, the HATS project just about nails the list for me.
HATS project is on TWITTER (x) search for Sthetix (@sthetixofficial) Click "Highlights" then find the post that links his telegram channel. From there you can download the latest HATS pack.
As ALWAYS. I do NOT promote piracy. Only backup games for which you have the physical cartridges and are legally allowed. None of my opinions are legal advice.
Table of Contents
Must Have List
1:16 - Awoo and NS-USBloader - Backup installer
Awoo: github.com/Huntereb/Awoo-Inst...
NS-USBloader: github.com/developersu/ns-usb...
3:31 - DBI Installer - Backup Installer Multi-tool(included in HATS)
6:53 - Goldleaf - Multi-tool (included in HATS)
8:41 - HomeBrew App Store (included in HATS)
9:17 - JKSV - Save manager (included in HATS)
10:59 - NXDumpTool - Cartridge dumper (included in HATS)
11:39 - USB File Transfer - transfer files without launching back to Hekate or doing FTP (included in Atmosphere/HATS now?)
Fun/Nice to have eventually
13:02 - RetroArch - Emulation central for all old school systems (HB App Store)
13:23 - Amiigo - Amiibo downloader/spoofer (HB App Store) Get tesla overlay for this as well...(potential future video)
Caution
15:11 - AllInOne Switch Updater - This is really convenient and powerful, I've just bumped into a ton of people that screw something up by updating the wrong items at the wrong time...be careful
15:50 - Daybreak - This is for manually updating the base firmware within your emummc, which Atmosphere must be compatible with to run...so again, use caution.
Bonus
16:41 - 90DNS Testing Utility - a DNS MITM tester that makes sure your exosphere and deefault/emummc.txt files are blocking the Nintendo servers as they should.

    I tend to check these types of videos sporadically as I've known how to homebrew since the Wii at the least and almost all of these apps are in my must-have apps list. Thanks for the vid for reference!

    When you do these gamecard dumps are they immediately working with switch emulators? I'm trying to run Age of Calamity at higher then 120p and hopefully 60fps

    I believe once you have your prod and title keys imported it’s just drag and drop. It’s been a while since I set up my PC emulators, but I remember it being pretty straightforward!

  • @RandysRandomHobbies

    @RandysRandomHobbies

    6 ай бұрын

    I haven’t looked into this specifically. You’d have to have the save data moved onto an unmodified switch, then mod it. Because if you do it right, you will no longer be able to access the Nintendo servers…if that makes sense.

    The usb transfer is good stuff, it’ll act just like a thumb drive, so you should be good to transfer whatever you need over.

    My switch is possibly patched. I checked the serial on a website if I try to mod it is there a bigger risk of getting it bricked or anything I should know of.

  • @RandysRandomHobbies

    @RandysRandomHobbies

    Really minimal risk of software bricking at this point. Just follow my guides and use the latest HATS package and you’ll be fine. Hardest/most anxiety inducing is the soldering until you get used to it. Best of luck!

  • @RandysRandomHobbies

    @RandysRandomHobbies

    5 ай бұрын

    Yes. To switch back and forth between “online” and offline modes you need to boot back into hekate and select the proper “system”. You also need to configure the default.txt file as the HATS pack blocks everything so you don’t get banned.

    I don’t mess with themes. It really screws with updates, and N has been pushing updates so frequently lately it’s crazy. Maybe when the switch reaches end of lifecycle and I can just set it up once and be done. Just my $0.02 though. Some do look really cool. Just haven’t convinced myself it’s worth the effort!

    If you search around you can find sites that host the update files. I can’t post here. And again, only download games you legally own. But the update files are clearly marked as updates and always end in a random number. They install the same as a game would. Also worth noting, I haven’t encountered any updates that require you to do steps revisions, so the latest one is all you need. If that makes sense.

    It doesn’t matter if you put them on the SD card or the internal storage. Either one is fine and neither one will raise your chances of a ban anymore than you already have.
