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!

Wow, crazy. When did this happen? I never heard about it.

Someone got lucky and bought an EDEV unit. There's a thread on GBATemp that detailed the whole process. Just google EDEV unit and it should pop up. Don't know what happened to the guy afterwards, but needless to say there was a DevMenu app available for download on the Internet.

Too late, this was already done and has appeared on multiple news sites due to kids finding it on the Balloon World add-on for Mario Odyssey.

please kill me

How to get instabanned

Can't get banned if you don't go online :^)

 

[Rabbid4240]

No point in using the app if you can't go online :^)

It looks just as cool offline as it does online but, to each his own I guess

Can you install DevMenu without SX OS, or SX Pro?

I want to use my gbatemp avatar as my pfp

 

[Admiral124]

Is there a file size limit or something? When I try this, I'm left with a blank image in the top left of the home screen and a white image in the profile menu. If I launch a game though, the image shows up when selecting a user.
If I try one of the default devmenu images though, like the purple or red ones, they work right away.

are there any updated tutorials for this on 6.2 and the dedicated DevMenu.nsp ? I can't find the Icon_Blue.jpg file(s) to replace... and I tried a DevMenu title folder in my sxos/titles folder as "0100000000012065" and also one i found that was "01005D100807A000" but neither work... any ideas?
