How to get a custom user icon using DevMenuApp

Nintendo has officially responded to this with the following statement:

“A very small number of consumers have been using modified Nintendo Switch systems to display inappropriate or unauthorized material in certain online games. Nintendo always strives to provide a positive experience for all consumers and this includes continuously monitoring all threats to its products’ security and taking swift and strong action to prevent them. Modified Nintendo Switch systems have been banned.”

I am accept no liability if your console or account is banned from following this tutorial.



This tutorial will let you use any image you want as a custom user icon. I assume you already know how to use layeredFS and Hekate.

You will need:
- DevMenuApp exefs and extracted romfs (not romfs.bin)
- LayeredFS working through Hekate
- Donor title (Pokemon Quest confirmed working)

Step 1: Place the exefs folder and romFS folder in Atmosphere/titles/donortitleid as you do with all other apps

Step 2: Patch main.ndpm with the donor titleid.

Step 4: go to \donortitleid\romfs\accounts

Here the test icons are located, that DevMenuApp load in.

Take your replacement image (needs to be 256x256) and replace one of the icons in this folder.

Step 5: Put your sd card back into Switch and run Hekate IPL with LayeredFS patches.

Step 6: Open your donor title, and the dev menu should open. If not try a new donor title until it works (Pokemon Quest works)

Go to the account tab:

Now click on your user and edit profile image:

Now select the image you replaced and you are done!

lol@pretending you were the first and original to come up with this
I was, probably pragma found it the same way as I did (testdisk).
I think even Rei could say that I was, but anyway that's out of the topic.

I don't think so, you would need a NSA to send requests to BAAS.

Get the titleid you want, put it in reverse byte order (010203 becomes 030201) then search for the original titleid (in reverse byte order too) and replace it with the new.
Then, you need to change the value at 0xC after "ACID" to 01.
Btw, if anyone was wondering, nsp installing works but you need signature patches.
