Installation Guide
Do NOT install NSP forwarders (or any unofficial NSPs) if you intend to use online services (e.g., eShop, multiplayer, etc.).
For a full guide by SWITCHWAY click here.
Create a Forwarder:
1. Obtain Your prod.keys
- What are prod.keys?
- They are encryption keys dumped from your Switch, needed to generate NSP forwarders.
- Use Lockpick_RCM
- Save them securely—never share them online, as they are console-specific.
2. Download Icons
- Get icons from the link below
3. Access NSP Forwarder Tool
- Go to nsp-forwarder.n8.io in a browser.
- or use NSPForwarder-GUI offline.
4. Upload an Icon
- Select the matching icon for your homebrew app.
5. Enter App Details
- Title: Name of the homebrew app (e.g., JKSV, Save Manager).
- Publisher: Author or publisher name (e.g., JK, Homebrew).
- NRO Path: The location of the .nro file on your SD card (e.g., switch/JKSV.nro).
6. Generate the NSP
Installing the Forwarder:
Choose one of the following methods to install the NSP file:- DBI (Recommended for PC Installation)
- Enable MTP Responder in DBI and connect your Switch to your PC.
- Drag the NSP file into the SD/install folder.
- Transfer the NSP to your SD card.
- Open the installer on your Switch and select the NSP to install.
- Follow the same steps for all your homebrew apps!
Note:
- NSP forwarders are lightweight and simply redirect to the actual .nro file.
- Make sure to generate a new title ID for each NSP.
- prod.keys are required in generation.
