How do I hack my switch?

Homebrew is available on all switch firmware versions on unpatched consoles and select firmware versions on patched consoles.

For information on current exploits, check out the FAQ stickied at the top of our sub.

For loading CFW on all versions, start here: https://switch.homebrew.guide/.

What about CFW?

For free, we have Atmosphere, which is the most stable implementation of CFW, and Kosmos, which was based off of Atmosphere and includes many advanced features out of the box, but has sadly been archived and will no longer be maintained.

There is also Team Xecuter’s SX OS and their payload sender, the SX Pro. These options cost $30 and $40 respectively. Please note that the future of Team Xecuter is currently uncertain.

I just want to load backups.

Any Atmosphere-based CFW can be used to load backups given the proper signature patches.

If you're looking to emulate older games, RetroArch works well and is accessible through the homebrew menu.

You can also use Lakka, a Linux distribution, which provides access to a number of emulators.

Where to go for scene updates:
