Revision as of 00:34, 8 July 2023

An Android app that allows you to run payloads on your Nintendo Switch without the need of a PC. With this tool, it is no longer necessary to depend on a PC to be able to execute payloads when in the RCM mode on your Nintendo Switch.

For anyone who wants to look at the exploit source, the magic happens here.

Note: Rekado is a more up-to-date alternative.

User guide

How to use

Launch the app.
(Optional) go to the Config tab, and select a custom payload file.
Plug in your Switch. (On my Nexus 5, I use a micro USB OTG cable, and an A-to-C cable).
Put it into RCM mode. (Note: your switch will power on by itself when plugged in, be sure to hold VOL+).
Grant permission to the app to access the USB device.

Note: The app does not need to be running in order to launch the payload. The phone can even be locked.

FAQ

Q. Why use this over a web-based launcher?

No internet required, and can auto-launch even if your phone is locked. Plug and play!

Q. Will it brick my phone/switch?

Hopefully not, but I an certainly not responsible if it does!

Q. Does it need root?

Nope!
