LetterBomb’s requirements are easy, as this table from demonstrates. That exploit requires the Super Smash Brothers Brawl game, which isn’t necessarily hard to get or expensive to purchase, but the method we’ll be showing you has far fewer hoops to jump through.
#HOW TO LAUNCH THE HOMEBREW LAUNCHER HOW TO#
We’ve written previously about how to hack your Wii using a Super Smash Brothers Brawl exploit called SmashStack.
#HOW TO LAUNCH THE HOMEBREW LAUNCHER INSTALL#
In the past, Nintendo has issued system updates intended to improve performance but also remove “unauthorized channels or firmware may impair game play or the Wii console.” The focus of this article will to show you how to install HBC and HackMii soft mods on the latest and presumably last Wii system update (4.3), with a simple exploit called LetterBomb. To that end, we might think of the Homebrew Channel as an app launcher channel, which means you can copy special apps and games to your SD card and launch them through the HBC.
For example, the Netflix channel on the Wii is nothing more than a glorified Netflix app, and so on. Channels are nothing more really than Nintendo’s version of apps. So when you open a channel, all it’s going to do is give you extended functionality above and beyond just playing games. So what is the Homebrew Channel? It’s simply what it sounds like, a channel, much like the Netflix or Nintendo eShop. It’s really hard to brick a Wii this way, but it could happen. Now the first time you use the app store it can take a while to load up but it’s only that the first time you load it after that, it will load very quick unless there’s a bunch of new stuff added.Of course, the standard warnings and disclaimers apply: any changes or modifications you perform on your Wii are completely up to you and your sole responsibility. You can use the app store to get homebrew and emulators and it will install them for you. To run homebrew just place them in the Switch folder on the micro SD and when you launch the homebrew menu they will appear. If you turn off the Switch it will go back to stock firmware and you’ll have to repeat this process again. That’s it now your Switch has CFW and you’ll be able to use homebrew and emulators on it now. The Switch will start up just like it normally does and nothing will seem different until you hit the album app on the Switch it will go into the Homebrew menu. Using the + or – volume buttons to navigate and the power button as enter, pick launch firmware and then pick CFW. The Switch screen will flash for a second and you’ll see the options to launch Firmware, Tools and more. Load up either program and plug in the USB-C cable into the Switch and PC/Moblie device then pick the payload you just downloaded and inject it. Now that it’s in RCM mode its time to send the payloads to load the cfw using TeramRCm or NXloader.

You will also be able to tell that it’s in RCM mode when you plug it into the PC as you should hear a dig that a new device is connected. The easiest way to tell if it’s in RCM mode is using the TegraRCM program but you should be able to tell its in RCM mode as the switch will just sit on a black screen. Turn the Switch completely off then press the power and volume up buttons at the same time. Once you have the paper clip in the right spot its time to see if it will go into RCM mode. It may take a few tries before you get it down pat. Next, bend the paper clip so it will fit on the joycon rail and touch pin 1 and 10 to put it in RCM mode.

The first thing you need to do is download the sdfiles and unzip them, then put them on the micro sd of the Switch. Medium side Paperclip but almost any of them will work. This works on all FW at the moment but this does not work with the new Switches out in the wild since they have been patched to block this method. Now there’s a few CFW out there but for this guide will be showing how to get the beta version of atmosphere working with Hekate payloads. The best way to get the Switch into RCM mode is using either a paper clip or 3d printed jig. So if you’re going to use this trick beware that it could do more harm then good. You can do the Jo圜on Tin Foil trick but there’s always a risk that you could short out other pins on the joycon or Switch. If you can’t get a 3d printed jig or don’t want to modify the right joycon the paper clip trick will work just fine but it may take you a few times to get it in the right spot to trigger RCM mode. The first thing that makes it a little difficult is getting the Switch to go into RCM mode, which can be done using a 3d printed jig, paperclip or modifying the right joycon to trigger RCM mode. Running CFW (Custom Firmware) to play homebrew and emulators on the Nintendo Switch is pretty simple but it does require you to have a few things handy to do it.
