Switch Hacking Guides

Welcome to Switchway

Switchway was created by a small group of people with a common interest in Switch hacking.

After meeting on Discord in 2019 we were disappointed with the lack of decent guides and resources available to the Switch hacking community. To address this, we decided to open our own Discord server in 2020 with a focus on creating quality Switch hacking guides, as well as offering a friendly place to get additional support.

Why Use Switchway

    • Our website is updated as soon as new updates are released.

    • 24/7 friendly support on our Discord server where you can chat to the people who write the guides to troubleshoot issues and get your questions answered.

    • Safe, easy to follow guides, which will help prevent you from getting banned or damaging your Switch.

    • Pictures are currently being added to all our guides, with 70% of them already done.

    • Guides to help you update Atmosphere and firmware, making it a breeze to maintain your CFW set up.

    • We offer pre-made CFW packs for Unpatched and Switch with Modchips to make things easier for beginners. We also have a guide for setting everything up yourself if you prefer.

    • Additional guides for managing content including; cheats, emulators, games, homebrew apps, mods and themes.

    • Miscellaneous guides for moving from SX OS to Atmosphere, fixing boot errors and more.

    • Lots of supplementary information to help you understand how everything works.

    • We are constantly evolving, adding new guides all the time, whilst trying to continue to be a great resource for Switch hacking.

⚠️ Warning ⚠️ Modifying your Switch is dangerous. It can lead to account bans, which will prevent you from accessing Nintendo's online services and can also lead to potential console bricks. If you decide to modify your Switch in any way, we take no responsibility for any damage you cause to your switch.
