EXPO

Workshop: Hack your own Nintendo console

Come and hack your Nintendo consoles! We at Testauserveri stand will help guide you through the hacking process to install custom firmware and homebrew on your Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS.

Surprisingly, hacking your console is perfectly legal! Homebrew lets you run custom apps, play romhacks, edit your saves, use emulators, and so much more.

Note: Custom firmware is safe if you follow the instructions, but you will participate in the workshop at your own risk.
Note: Piracy is always illegal, and we will not support anyone trying to pirate games on their consoles.

Location

Testausserveri stand at the EXPO area.
