Nintendo Switch jailbreaking and homebrew done right - payloads, Atmosphère, the law and staying safe.

About this course
The Nintendo Switch has one of the most active homebrew scenes of any modern console - and one of the highest ban risks. This course teaches the Switch modding world accurately, honestly and safely.
You will learn how the Switch's hardware boot process works, which models and firmware versions are moddable (and why the famous RCM vulnerability only affects early units), how payload injection works, and what custom firmware such as Atmosphère actually does.
The course covers backing up the console's NAND before anything, running homebrew responsibly, the truth about emulators and game backups, and the rules that keep a modded Switch off the ban list. Piracy is never part of the work.
