Pros: Goldmine of useful info.
Cons: Not updated in over a year. (Maybe that isn't needed)?
Thank you.
Pros: Lots of very useful information to get anybody started on hacking their Switch.
Cons: Not always complete, still being worked on like any other guide would.
Definitely would recommend to the novice user.

Pros: Great log of links with quite useful information when you need it the most! A must have
Cons: Will never be complete! Always a work in progress
With years of research, this is probably one of the best logs of links and information gathered over time. A must have for noobs and probably anyone else (noob or not).
Thanks for this work!

Good idea, but are you going to give a brief description for those who may not know about what you're linking?

I.e., DBI, Tinwoo, Tinfoil: installer+ etc,.
JKSV: save manager+ etc,.
luffshop, formerly carcas: a racy "shoppe" with pie, etc,.

Not good, but great! Nice idea mate... This is super helpful, we can just direct people to this page now :grog:
Yeah, that was the initial idea when I put it in my sig but then it started looking intrusive and arrogant so I put it someplace permanen. Absolutely send people here. I’ll add more as I go and put some better descriptions in as well.

Honestly, my only criticism is that Disk Drill isn't on here, but honestly considering the free version is literally useless as fuck I can see why esp since you can't just link to the cracked version.
I will say this though: disk drill saved my Switch's EmuMMC from a failing SD card. Sure, the backup of the partition was a DMG, but opened in NXNandManager perfectly!

Really, all I'd add would be a (probably free/open-source) tool that can do 1:1 full backups of a disk partition just for saving EmuNAND partitions like that. Maybe Win32DiskImager could work, but, as its name implies, it's only on Windows and I feel like just banging it against Wine like bashing two stones together expecting fire just wouldn't work, or could just make shit worse.
(that plus I've bricked a USB drive from using it a bit too much, so I guess if you DO add in W32DI, make sure you list it as "Use with caution if you write to a disk" ot something.)
(additionally I'm also not too experienced with Switch homebrew, so far all I've really done is just install NSPs, and made a custom bootlogo.bmp for hekate. I'm more of a Wii/3DS expert myself, with some more Wii U knowledge in there somewhere. Also, what's with hbmenu not just being called HBL like before? And why is it "EmuMMC" and not still "EmuNAND"? Sure, the switch uses MMC for storage, but is that not a form of NAND?)
