Edit: No, this is not real, just for laughs! Enjoy!
I was lucky to get my hands on the elusive Nintendo Switch :switch: that was already out in the wild, and right away, found an exploit! :DThis is simple.

1. Unzip the zip file below and place the contents on the ROOT of your micro SD card. Insert it into your switch.
2. Press eShop in the main menu of your switch. It should ask you to update, which will usually not work. Tap it now. The screen will freeze for ~15sec, but if you are stuck there, power cycle your switch.
3. It should crash your switch, and returning to the home menu, you now have the homebrew channel! (Picture included)
4. Also included in the package is greennand installer, allowing you to play backed up switch games from your cartridges to your micro SD card.

That is it! Note: even on japanese switches, the language is english.
Also, make sure to ENABLE greennand shortcut buttons from the installer, because as of now that is the only way to open it without it crashing!

This should work for all switches with version 1.0.
If you have issues, post them below! This is in beta.

FAQ:
Q: is this real?
A: nope! Just for laughs (:
Q: can I uninstall?
A: unfortunately, that has not yet been implemented, but may be included later.
Q: is there much homebrew developed for it yet?
A: not yet, I'll release the SDK on March 1st, 2 days before launch!
Q: how did you get your hands on a switch?!?!?!?
A: unfortunately, the person that lent me it will not let me reveal any of their information.

Leave suggestions in the comments!

It has 2 folders :
-EshopUpdate > bunch of random numbers > 2 folders : "Install" (doesn't has anything) , "UpdateBlob" with ee3 , FF and cww files and a file called Update.swh
-SwitchApps > GreenNAND Installer 0.1 > A file called GreenNAND.switch and a meta.xml

Its so legit he cant decide if call the fake extension .Switch or .Swh

    It could get banned from PSN but you can change your ID I think?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Try Wood firmware
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    but why choose it over ysmenu @Psionic Roshambo?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    bc im stupid?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    yea ik im stupid
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    good night
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
