LUDORA / GUIDES

Nintendo Switch · Guide

Nintendo Switch · Follow platform-specific setup, account pairing and storage connection steps.

Prepare and install

Download one complete NSP, install it using DBI and launch from HOME.

One installer, three setup steps

Requires a Switch with a compatible homebrew environment and DBI. The complete NSP includes the client and HOME-menu icon.

Download the complete Switch NSP and copy it to a recognizable folder on the SD card. If using a card reader, power off before removing the card, then safely eject and reinsert it.
Open DBI, locate this NSP and install it. Wait for installation to finish.
Return to HOME and open the Ludora icon. First launch automatically prepares the bundled files; do not remove the card or interrupt power. Follow the account-pairing prompt when the client opens.

How do I upgrade an older installation?

For a manual upgrade, download the same complete NSP, install it over the existing version using DBI and launch from HOME. No manual application-file replacement is needed. You can also follow the update prompts in the client; keep your games, saves and user settings.

How to check that setup is ready

Launch Ludora from its HOME-menu icon and check the application version.
Wait for first-launch setup to finish and confirm that the client opens.
Confirm the target storage space and network connection before starting a task.

If you get stuck, contact support with the platform, version and error message.
