Install homebrew on your Switch

Start with an existing homebrew setupUse the maintained Nintendo Homebrew guide for your exact Switch model. This catalogue assumes your console already runs a compatible CFW and can open hbmenu. An NRO is an app executable; copying one does not enable homebrew.
Choose one installation routeFor on-console installation, open Homebrew App Store and find the app. For manual installation, use the pinned NRO or SD bundle here. Compare the version and read its requirements before replacing an older build.
Keep the supplied foldersPut standalone NRO files at the path shown on the card. For a complete store ZIP, extract its SD-layout files onto the microSD root, keeping switch/, config/ and other runtime folders intact. Store info.json and manifest.install are package-manager metadata, not apps to launch.
Open hbmenu with enough memoryFollow your CFW guide’s application-mode instructions. A common Atmosphère title-takeover setup opens hbmenu by holding R while starting an installed game and selecting a user. Album entry normally runs in restricted applet mode; use application mode when the project requires it.
Launch, configure and keep backupsSelect the app in hbmenu, then follow its project documentation. Configure network hosts, FTP credentials or game data where required. Back up saves and existing configuration files before restoring data or updating a bundle.

Set up an emulator

Choose the Switch build and its launch modeUse the Emulators category and check each card’s supported systems, release and memory requirements. Launch through full application mode when required. A legacy build with a documented current-system issue needs a compatible setup; its version is not a promise of support for every firmware.
Keep the complete emulator packageAn emulator may need fonts, shaders, configuration or other runtime assets beside its NRO. Extract a complete SD bundle with its supplied folders intact. A standalone NRO is offered only when the project supports that route.
Prepare its system and game filesFollow the emulator’s linked documentation for your own game dumps and any BIOS or firmware it requires. These are separate from the app download. Match the supported formats and paths; a PSP emulator and a Nintendo DS emulator have different requirements.
Test controls, saves and performanceStart with one title and configure controls and audio. Keep in-game saves backed up separately. Save states can depend on the emulator version and are not a replacement for portable save backups.

Emulators Game mods Nintendo emulators for PC

Storage & file formats

Use the card’s documented path and keep enough free space for extracted files, downloads and save backups. Safely eject the microSD before removing it. The Switch setup guide recommends FAT32; follow its formatting instructions for your existing card.

File type	Where it belongs
NRO app	Usually `sdmc:/switch/<app>/<app>.nro`. The launcher itself is `sdmc:/hbmenu.nro`. Card-specific paths take priority.
Complete SD bundle	Extract the ZIP and preserve its runtime folder layout. NXMP, ftpsrv and the bundled games here require their supplied resources or configuration.
CFW / bootloader	Atmosphère, Hekate, BIN payloads and system modules use their own documented setup and compatibility. Use the existing Switch CFW resources.
Source code	GitHub source ZIP/TAR archives need a build toolchain. Use a documented Switch release asset or store package for installation.
PC / mobile helper	Moonlight’s Sunshine host and FTP clients run on your other device. Their Windows, Linux, macOS or Android builds do not go in `/switch/`.

Build verification & sources

This is a curated selection from the Switch catalogue linked by hb-app.store. Package versions, project links and icons were checked against the store metadata and linked official projects on 2 November 2026.

Downloaded ZIPs were inspected for their file layout and NRO headers. Original containers and ready console builds are retained with sizes, versions and SHA-256 checksums. Companion files remain bundled where required. These checks do not establish physical-console compatibility; installation and execution on a Switch have not been tested here.

Apps with no documented current firmware range are labelled in their requirements. The 90DNS tester store package remains pinned to 1.0.4 even though its project has a 1.1.0 release. Checkpoint uses the Switch NRO, separately from its 3DS builds.

App icons belong to their respective projects. The green library illustration is original artwork created for this site.
