3DS
As with any jailbreaking process, there is always a slight chance you can brick your device, so make sure you follow all steps correctly the first time! I suggest watching the video once fully before actually going through with it if you're new to this.
Important links/resources: https://3ds.hacks.guide/faq
Hacking the 3DS steps:
REQUIREMENTS:
- 3DS any version/2DS any version, I suggest you write down your version number and what console.
- SD CARD, minimum 32gb and above but not larger than 128gb
- Computer/Laptop (to format your sd card)
- USB adapter that allows microsd/sd insert to your laptop or computer
FORMATTING YOUR SD CARD TO FAT32 FOR SDs 2GB TO 32GB
- Insert your SD CARD to your Usb Adapter, Insert that to your computer to connect it
- If you have any important files, copy the files "Nintendo 3DS" that's in the USB and paste it on your desktop.
- Go to your drive, right click on the name, it's usually something "USB DRIVE (#:)" or something -> click properties -> check format through file system in general. If it's anything BUT fat32, you need to format it differently.
- Go to your drive, right click on the name, it's usually something "USB DRIVE (#:)" or something -> Format USB DRIVE -> Change file system to FAT32
FORMATTING YOUR SD CARD TO FAT32 FOR SDs 64GB-128GB (128 not recommended)
- Download http://ridgecrop.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm
- This will just be a FAT32 Formatter, Do same steps as before but instead of going to drive and right clicking on file, just use the program formatter which will show you the available drives you have.
Installing boot9strap (MSET9 CLI)
REQUIREMENTS:
- The latest release of MSET9 (the MSET9 .zip file) https://github.com/hacks-guide/MSET9/releases/latest

Switch
There always will come with risks when modding. Be cautious.
Important links/resources: https://switch.hacks.guide/
Hacking the Switch steps:
REQUIREMENTS:
- Switch, Check if your switch is patched first: https://canircm.com/ the serial is on the bottom of your switch next to charging. If patched, you have to solder a modchip (switch mod chip RP2040). SWITCH 2 ARE NOT MODDABLE ATM
- Computer/Laptop
- Data transferring cord usbc to usb/c
- USB adapter that allows microsd/sd insert to your laptop or computer
- RCM Jig
- Microsd Card, highly recommended to at least have 128 gb or more
Important links/resources: https://switch.hacks.guide/
Starting up
- Before starting, make sure you have an app or game installed on your switch, without it, things will go south. I've been here before! If you have a modchip, you don't need to do this.
RCM
- Power off the Switch and short the pins on the right Joy-Con rail using one of the methods listed below.
- While holding the Volume Up button, press the Power button once while holding Volume Up. If your Switch displays the Nintendo logo and boots normally, you didn't successfully enter RCM and should try again. Otherwise, if your console still has a black screen (even after tapping the power button again), your Switch is in RCM and you can let go of the Volume Up button.
Payload
REQUIREMENTS:
- The latest release of TegraRcmGUI (https://github.com/eliboa/TegraRcmGUI/releases)
- The latest release of hekate. (https://github.com/CTCaer/Hekate/releases/)
Injecting
- Once downloaded and unzipped both hekate and tegrarcm, go to tegrarcm file (make sure this file is extracted or placed on your desktop, just make sure it's not zipped -> press tegrarcmgui.exe -> once it opens, go to settings -> install driver, press yes, then just keep going with the installation. -> go back to payload
- Connect your Data transferring cord usbc to usb/c from your computer to your switch. -> back to the computer on tegrarcmgui, inject payload and pick the hekate bin from your hekate folder. -> inject payload
- Once you see that black screen with yellow words, remove your sd card (IT'S SAFE TRUST) -> insert your sd card on your sd card adapter and insert onto your computer.
Preparing hekate
- In the hekate zip/folder, get the bootloader file and put it in the root of your sd card.
- Eject -> put back sd card onto your switch -> press power button -> take rcm jig out -> set date and time.
sysMMC vs emuMMC
- CFW on emuMMC has the following benefits: No risk of bans as long as emuMMC remains offline from Nintendo, A safe area to test dangerous or risky mods and homebrew, No chance of bricking and losing console-unique information while using CFW
- CFW on sysMMC has the following benefits Parity of system settings, save data, and titles between CFW usage and standard usage, Significantly lower microSD card storage requirements, Possibility of online play during CFW use Fast console response time by not having to rely on the speed of your microSD card Longer microSD card lifespan
Partitioning
- On the hekate menu -> go to tools -> partition sd card then ok -> drag emummc bob to 29 full (oled 58 full) -> next step then start and continue.
- Back on home page -> press emummc -> create emummc -> sd partition -> part 1
- Go back to the home page -> tools -> usb tools -> sd card -> plug data transferring cord from your computer to your switch.

Wii
This guide is for the Wii! It DOES NOT work on the Wii U's vWii OR Wii Mini. They are similar but require different files/steps.
Hacking the WII steps:
REQUIREMENTS:
- WII
- Recommended to have an SD card
- Storage device like SSD
- Computer/Laptop
Formatting Storage
- Insert SD card onto your computer/laptop -> go to properties and make sure if it's fat32 -> if not go to right click on the sd device and drives of the card you're gonna use and press format -> format it to fat32.
- For anything with greater than 32 gb, you must use another program like http://ridgecrop.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm
INTERNET METHOD
- Insert sd card into the switch
- Boot up the wii -> hover on the button that says wii -> wii settings -> CHECK VERSION (it should be 4.3, if not, go to the third page and wii system update) -> internet -> connection settings -> connect to the internet through a wired connection with the ethernet you have -> once connected press no -> change settings -> go to the next two-three pages, until you see auto obtain dns and press no. -> advanced settings and type in 3.143.163.250 -> confirm, save, and okay. Don't update it.
- Back to internet -> user agreements, press yes -> this will load the straighthax page -> press i accept
OFFLINE NO INTERNET METHOD
- Go to this link https://wilbrand.donut.eu.org/, to find your mac address, go back to your wii and make sure date/time is set correctly -> go to the wii button for wii options -> internet on page 2 -> console information -> mac and lan address, just take a picture of this screen
- Go back to the wiibrand site and type in your mac address, your system menu version will always be on the top right corner of wii options, cut either wire ON THE SITE, NOT ON YOUR WII. ON THE WIIBRAND SITE
- At the bottom of the wiibrand build output there should be a zip you can download.
- Of course with your sd card from your wii connected, open the drive and copy "private" + "boot.elf" that's in the zip of that file you downloaded from wii brand onto the root of your sd card for your wii -> eject -> insert to wii
- Once you enter your wii -> go to your wii message board which is the mail icon -> try going forward or backwards a couple dates to find a mail with a green envelope -> click on it and a disclaimer will pop up, wait 30 seconds before the 1 shows up
HACKMII INSTALLER
- Either internet or offline method works and will go back to this menu for hackmii -> press continue -> press install homebrew channel and continue
- Back to the menu go to bootmii -> install bootmii as ios -> yes continue, if you have the option to install "boot2" install that as well.
- Return to main menu when all done and exit
- This will put you in the homebrew channel -> press home button on your controller and launch bootmii
- WARNING your remote will not work for this page, you have to go to your actual wii console and press button and reset. POWER = navigate, RESET = select. Easy enough! Press the power button three times until it lands on the cogwheel and press reset to select.
- Press the green arrow icon by selecting. This will backup your wii.
- Navigate back to wii main menu, turn off your wii console and take out your sd card
- Going back to your computer and connecting the sd card from the wii to the laptop, you can see your keys and nand dot bin in your sd card. Copy those and put them in a file for safe keeping. It's a backup just in case something goes wrong. You can delete the nandkey bin from your wii sd card now! You can also delete boot.elf
IF YOU CAN ONLY INSTALL AS IOS, SKIP THESE FOLLOWING STEPS:
- Go into the bootme folder in your sd card -> right click on bootme.ini -> open with notepad -> in the 3rd paragraph, change #AUTOBOOT=SYSMENU to just AUTOBOOT=SYSMENU, in #BOOTDELAY change that to BOOTDELAY=1, SAVE YOUR FILE
apps to efficiently help you with the wii
- Usbloader GX App & Forwarder
- Nintendont
- Priiloader
- Load Priiloader App
- YawmME
- Custom IOS Wads
- Backup CIOS Link
- Open Shop Channel
- Game Setup (Windows/Mac/Linux)
- Open Usbloader GX zip and it should contain an apps folder, drag that to the root of your wii sd card, this app folder is where you will put every homebrew app
- I feel like everything should be explanatory like just put it at the root of your sd card, if it has more than just the app folder in a specific zip, you also have to add that to the root
- Drag app folder to root of your sd card and repeat for each of these apps
- NOW for wads, create a folder on your sd card and name it wad, grab the usbloadergx wad and drag that into that new folder you just created. Same for custom ios wads
- Extract tinywiibackupmanager: run the exe file -> lower left corner there is an icon above the sun to select a drive -> select your sd. This is where you'll add games and etc. (wvz and wbfs files for games)
- Go into your wii after you inserted back your sd card -> load homebrew channel -> priiloader installer -> load, +, press a, you can load priiloader to load your apps.
- Back into homebrew menu -> Go to yawmii -> if you put your wad in a folder, press a to continue.
- Files on wad should all be downloaded so press + on each file to select everything then install by pressing a.
- Go into USBLOADER on the wii main menu -> go to settings -> loader settings -> scroll until you see nintendont settings -> memory card emulation needs to be on individual or else you won't have saves for your games.
WII MODS/CHEATS

mods, cheats & places i get games
how to add hacks and mods, console by console, plus where I get games.
3DS
CHEATS
- Check your Luma3DS version by turning off the device and holding Select + Power to see the version number in the top left, and check Checkpoint once you go into your 3DS.
- Once you're done, mount your SD card from your 3DS to your computer.
- If it's not updated, make sure to go to the GitHubs of Checkpoint and Luma3DS to download the latest versions.
- If you don't know what to do with these files: copy the contents of the Luma3DS zip and put them at the root of your SD card. Create a "cias" folder on the root of your SD card and drag the Checkpoint CIA onto that folder. Eject.
- Insert your SD card back into your 3DS -> go to FBI -> SD -> cias -> checkpoint -> install and delete.
- Go into Checkpoint (you'll need to have some game saved already). Hovering on the game you want will show you its cheats. If it says no cheats found, don't worry, there's other ways:
- Go to https://github.com/JourneyOver/CTRPF-AR-CHEAT-CODES/tree/master/Cheats
- I usually just make a folder in the root of my SD card called "Cheats," then paste the txt files I downloaded from the link above.
- Hold Left Shoulder + D-Pad Down + Select -> Cheats, and you can select the cheats you want while in the game.
MODS
- Create a folder named "plugins" in your Luma folder.
- Download OnionFS -> extract it -> take the .3gx file and paste it into the long serial folder in luma/plugins/000#######.
- Remove the SD card and put it back in the 3DS. Check the game you added OnionFS to; there's an indicator when you select the game that says plugins are ready. Go back to your PC.
- An OnionFS folder will be created on your SD card. In the OnionFS folder, click the serial folder -> romfs -> download the mod you want from gamebanana.com.
- Once the mod is downloaded, copy the folder contents into onionfs -> the serial number folder -> romfs -> paste. Go back to the 3DS and it should work.
DS IN 3DS
CHEATS
- https://gbatemp.net/threads/deadskullzjrs-nds-i-cheat-databases.488711/
- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Cy7M4fpx4ARCfGKM8FkGhvYVegQ0U6gx/view
- Take the SD card out of your 3DS and insert it into your computer through an adapter.
- Download TWiLight Menu and, of course, the cheat file above.
- Open the TWiLight Menu zip and copy the folder and files named "roms," "nds," "snemul.cfg," and "BOOT.NDS," then paste them onto the root of your SD card.
- If you don't already have one, create a "cias" folder on the root of your SD card. From the same TWiLight Menu zip, grab the CIA file and drag it onto that folder.
- Go to the root of the SD card -> _nds -> TWiLightMenu -> extras, and grab the usrcheat.dat from the download and paste it into the extras folder.
- Put your SD card back in the 3DS -> TWiLight Menu -> configure to your preferences and touch the screen to continue.
- If you have games in TWiLight Menu, go to the "nds" folder to find your games. Hover on the game and press Y to bring up a small menu -> press X to find your cheats and select, save, and enjoy your games with cheats!
Switch
This one's a bit different since some games have specific mods or specific tools you'll need, but hopefully this is efficient enough.
CHEATS
- I download the "hats" tools pack, which is basically the latest firmware, cheats, and tools bundled together. It's a useful thing to have. With the hats pack you don't have to separately install Ultrahand, Tesla, etc. since it's already included. Link to the hats pack and tools: https://pastebin.com/RqwNRD3X
- Easy enough: drag the contents of the hats tools and pack zip onto the root of your SD card.
- You must be connected to the internet for this. This does not connect you to Nintendo in any way; they can't ban you from the console for it, just don't use Nintendo Online. -> Open Album -> launch hats tools -> Cheats -> select the game and cheats you want and press Y to download.
- Go into Tesla by pressing L Shoulder + D-Pad Down + Right Analog Stick -> Edizon -> Cheats, and toggle the cheats on.
- I don't know of other ways to get cheats, since the most reliable way is downloading the right cheat for the right game serial and code, for example CheatSlips has a lot of cheats for the Switch, but you can't just download any cheat and expect it to work. With hats tools, downloading straight from CheatSlips without the hassle made a lot more sense. Not every cheat will work even on the same game.
MODS
- Download a mod from gamebanana.com -> open the zip -> there should be a folder with the name of the mod. Open that and find the folder with a long number in it (something like 0000112900), which corresponds to the game's title ID.
- Go to atmosphere -> contents -> drag those serial code folders onto that folder.
- Once you put your SD card back, the mods you downloaded should work as normal!
Wii
PHYSICAL GAME WAY
- Get Gecko OS: go to https://oscwii.org/library/app/Gecko, scroll down to find the Gecko app, and download it (e.g. Gecko version 1.9.3.1).
- Get the Wad Channel: download the Gecko WAD file from https://gbatemp.net/threads/rare-gecko-os-wads.519289/ so you can install it as a channel on your Wii system menu.
- Get Cheat Codes: go to https://gamehacking.org/, navigate to Codes -> Nintendo -> Wii (or use GameCube codes if playing GameCube games).
- Prepare your SD card with the downloaded files using this layout: an "apps" folder with the extracted Gecko app folder (the one containing boot.dol) placed inside it at the root of your SD card.
- Create a folder named "wads" at your SD card root and place the Gecko WAD file inside it.
- Create a folder named "codes" at your SD card root and drop your downloaded .gct cheat file inside it.
- Insert your SD card into your Wii and turn it on. Open the Homebrew Channel and launch Wii Mod Lite.
- Inside Wii Mod Lite: go to Wii Mod Lite -> Manager -> select the Wii SD Slot -> navigate to your "wads" folder, select the Gecko WAD file, and press A to install.
- Once complete, press any key to continue, then press Home to exit back to the Wii Menu. You'll now see the Gecko OS channel installed on your Wii menu.
- Insert your physical game disc (e.g. New Super Mario Bros, North American/NTSC version) into the Wii and open the newly installed Gecko OS channel.
- Go into Config Options and adjust the settings: set language/region options if needed (e.g. Force PAL to NTSC if crossing regions). Crucially, make sure SD Cheats is set to Yes.
- Select Save Config, then press B to return to the main Gecko menu. Select Launch Game and press A.
- Gecko OS will say "SD codes found" if your .gct file is properly named and placed in the codes folder.
- Start your game, press the designated button trigger for your cheat (such as Minus (-) to select any world in New Super Mario Bros), and enjoy your cheats!
USB LOADER GX WAY
- Go to https://gamehacking.org/ and search for the game you want.
- When you pick a game it'll show you .gct or .txt format codes; grab the .txt format.
- On your Wii SD card, make a folder called "txtcodes" and put the txt file you just downloaded in there, then insert your SD card back into the Wii.
- Launch the Homebrew Channel, or go straight to USB Loader GX if it's on your home screen.
- In USB Loader GX, press the gear icon -> Loader Settings, and set Ocarina to ON.

So please if you hate and despise 🏴☠️ing in any way, do not interact.
