## What this site is
A linear Ukrainian walkthrough for installing custom firmware on Nintendo Switch. Readers start at the homepage, pick a method on /get-started, then follow backup, EmuNAND, Homebrew, games, and update pages. Paid installation and pre-modded consoles are sold at shop.customfw.xyz.

## Methods
- Fusée Gelée (RCM payload on vulnerable V1 Erista units): https://switch.customfw.xyz/fusee-gelee
- Preparation for Fusée: https://switch.customfw.xyz/preparation-fuse
- Caffeine: https://switch.customfw.xyz/caffeine and https://switch.customfw.xyz/preparation-caffeine
- Hardware modchip (all revisions, recommended): https://switch.customfw.xyz/modchip and https://switch.customfw.xyz/preparation-modchip
- All current Nintendo Switch family units can be modded; the method depends on hardware revision.

## Core workflow
1. Read homepage and FAQ.
2. Identify the exploit path on /get-started.
3. Backup NAND: https://switch.customfw.xyz/backup-nand
4. Create EmuNAND: https://switch.customfw.xyz/emunand
5. Use Homebrew: https://switch.customfw.xyz/hbl
6. Keep firmware updated safely: https://switch.customfw.xyz/update-fw
7. Optional extras: addons, Tesla overlay, cheats, Amiibo emulation, LAN play.

## Safety notes the guide itself states
- Custom firmware is actively developed; firmware versions lag official system updates.
- Online Nintendo services can lead to a console ban; EmuNAND plus telemetry blocks (Incognito / Exosphere) reduce risk but do not give a legal or absolute guarantee.
- Dual-boot idea used in the shop/service: clean SysNAND for official online, isolated EmuNAND for custom software.
- SD card should be SDHC or better, FAT32. GPT partitions are not supported. exFAT is less reliable than FAT32.
