Newb here with a hackable Switch. So far I've yet to find a step by step guide to getting ROMs onto my device.

I've seen the GoldTree/GoldLeaf discussions but am not seeing if whether or not you require a Switch that has a Homebrew launcher installed.

I'm sorry if this is blatantly obvious somewhere. I've not found it.

Mods, please delete this thread once resolved.
 
homebrew launcher as in when you open the screenshots album homebrew menu? If you already hacked your switch then it should be there. That's where all your homebrew apps are. To open the homebrew menu it might require you to hold the "R" button while opening the screenshot album.

Other than that, you can just follow other guides/tutorial like the goldleaf tutorial to install games.
Downloaded homebrew/apps are installed in the switch folder in your sd card while installed games should be shown in the nintendo home

I've not done anything with my Switch quite yet. I'm hoping to find a step-by-step guide on how to put ROMs onto my Switch (SD card) and play them.

Other than that, you can just follow other guides/tutorial like the goldleaf tutorial to install games.

So this does not require that I first modify my Switch, and install a homebrew launcher of some sort?
 
sorry, thought you meant you hacked your switch already. first thing you should do is probably install the cfw onto your sd card. You can use https://sdsetup.com/ to get the basic stuff you will need. Other than that You are going to need a rcmjig to enter safe mode on the switch.

For the pre-configured bundles I would recommend Kosmos (default or +pegascape) as it checks on goldleaf and homebrew app store. I would also recommend checking tegrarcmgui and goldtree as that will be necessary to run the cfw and installing games. It also comes with an updater to update your cfw. After that just scroll down and download the zip.

When opening the zip there should be three folders, payloads, pc and sd. For the sd folder just extract everything inside it onto your sd card. For payloads and pc, extract them onto your pc (could be your desktop for now). Open the pc folder, then the tegra rcm folder and run the TegraRcmGui.

This is where you will need the RCMjig to enter safe mode on your switch.
To enter safemode, slide the rcmjig onto where the right joycon should be, then hold the volume up button and the power button at the same time. If nothing shows up (black screen) then it should be in safe mode.

Now on the TegraRcmGui, click on the icon to the left of "inject payload" and search for the payloads folder from earlier. Choose to open the Hekate BIN file and inject payload. Now onto your switch.

Your switch should now have the payload injected into it so now there shouldn't be a black screen anymore. Now just touch launch, then touch launch CFW(Sysnand)

Now it should be in CFW. This is my first time writing a tutorial so sorry if I dont make sense at some point.

Now for installing switch games( NSP) you should be able to follow that goldtree tutorial.

For finding switch nsp file, you can just look for them in this website
https://ayakalounge.me/forums/switch-nsp-xci-roms.50/

You should already have goldleaf and goldtree installed if you checked those on sd setup.

And to launch homebrew just follow what I said on the first post
To open the homebrew menu it might require you to hold the "R" button while opening the screenshot album.

Is your nintendo switch even hackable ? refer to this serial numbers
https://gbatemp.net/threads/switch-...he-first-post-before-asking-questions.481215/
if it is hackable continue reading. if its not. sell it and buy a good nintendo Switch with good serial number and read below.
Go to youtube. type "how to hack nintendo switch " watch a lot of videos until everything sounds familiar.
everytime they use a word/terminology you dont understand. google it.
it will be much easier for you that way. rather than me typing a 500 paragraph in the FAQ section.

then come back and open up the goldleaf thread and everything will make sence
