Noexes

A multi-platform graphical remote debugger for the Nintendo Switch.

Quick Start Guide

Pre-Requisites

• Hekate on your switch
• Java 10 installed on your PC

Downloading

Visit out releases page, and download the latest version, and extract the whole zip file to a directory on your machine.

Copying Files

Copy noexs.kip1 to the root of your switch sd card.

Editing hekate_ipl.ini

Using a text editor open hekate_ipl.ini (located within the bootloader directory on your switch's sd card) and add the following:

[Noexes]
debugmode=1
kip1=noexs.kip1

And that's it switch sided! Now just select "Noexes" when booting using hekate to launch HOS with noexes running.

Running the Client

On most operating systems all you need to do is run the jar file from the release as you would any other programs. If you're having trouble try running the following command (within the directory where you extracted Noexes):

java -jar JNoexsClient.jar

If you still have problems please double check that you're running at least Java 10 (you can verify this by using the command java -version). If you are feel free to open an issue and I'll try to get back to you ASAP!

cd ./server/source/noexs
make

Client Dependencies

If you're using IntelliJ for building it should automatically download all the dependencies from maven, otherwise

• Usb4Java - Used for USB communication
• Gson - Used for serializing various objects to/from JSON
• ASM - For optimized pattern searching

Server Dependencies

• Libnx - Without libnx there would be no homebrew on the switch, especially with what we're trying to do
