◦ in the devkitpro environment, run “make clean” and “make”. You can also change the author and the version if you want. ◦ open Makefile and set APP_TITLE to the name of the game you want to forward (only for display purposes) and APP_TITLEID to the title if you generated (this time without 0x). Set “title_id”, “title_id_range_min” and “title_id_range_max” to the title id you generated (don’t forget to add 0x in front of it). ◦ open hbl.json and set “name” to the name of the game you want to forward (only for display purposes). The title ID must be different for each NSP you install! ◦ genetate a new title ID by using random_tid.bat. Everything happens in the modded hbloader sources you should have downloaded and extracted. In this step we will rebuild hbloader to change the title ID, name (as in title displayed in HOME menu) and author.

◦ (optional) a PNG to be displayed in the top-left corner of the screen while loading (normally Nintendo logo) and a GIF to be displayed in the bottom-right corner (normally an animated Switch logo) ◦ A 256×256 JPG icon of the game you want to forward (I suggest that you make your own) ◦ The core (NRO) and the game you want to forward on your SD card (download the core through RA’s online updater) ◦ keys.dat (I recommend using Lockpick to dump it) ◦ A dev environment (yes I know I’m sorry) : Let us know how it worked out for you and what game you forwarded to the home screen in the comments below. This method is a little tedious to do but if you want to give it a try, you can follow the tutorial at the end of this article. This is more of a welcome convenience when you look at it especially if you have a favorite retro title. When you open up the game you forwarded on the home menu, Retroarch will then launch the game and run it directly from the main menu.

You will also be able to add a icon to the game that you want forwarded to the home menu. What so cool about this method is that You can basically take any game from a emulator such as N64, Snes, Genesis, MAME, and probably a PSX title and have it right on the home menu. Now this method have been around for quite some time and have been done on Consoles like the 3DS and the Nintendo Wii. Today a gentleman that goes by the name of bobdamnit at GBATEMP posted up a video of Super Mario Bros 3 forwarded from Retroarch to the Switch Main home Menu! The name of this method is called Retroarch NSP forwarder! The Nintendo Switch is becoming to be the #1 go to system for homebrew, apps and Emulators.
