A collection of "patches" that intercept .nca info from games, and override them. In simple words it allows override icon and name displayed in home menu. You can have custom icons and title names.

This is mainly for users who prefer not to create forwarders using .nsp or modify official game icons/names, it doesn’t involve any piracy method and is ban safe.

Installation

Go to the official GitHub site sys-tweak, click on the latest build by selecting the first workflow link under Actions tab, download sys-tweak.nsp (you need to be logged to your GitHub account).

Copy sys-tweak.nsp and rename it to atmosphere/contents/00FF747765616BFF/exefs.nsp

Create a flags folder with an empty boot2.flag file in atmosphere/contents/00FF747765616BFF/flags/boot2.flag

Optionally create a toolbox.json in atmosphere/contents/00FF747765616BFF/toolbox.json

Folder structure:

sdmc:/atmosphere/contents/00FF747765616BFF/flags/         
                            |                |- boot2.flag  
                            |-exefs.nsp                     
                            |-toolbox.json                  

To enable/disable sys-tweak from sysmodules overlay, toolbox.json should be:

{
  "name": "sys-tweak",
  "tid": "00FF747765616BFF",
  "requires_reboot": true
}

User guide

Creating custom icons

Once sys-tweak is set, reload your CFW. Now you can customize your game icons by copy a 256x256 jpg image no bigger than 128K or you will get a queston mark instead. The icon only accept jpg format not interlaced.

Copy it to your title folder ID, for example Resident Evil 4: atmosphere/contents/010099A00BC1E000/icon.jpg

Editing game names

You also can change the title name, author and version, just place a config.ini file in the same folder as your icon.jpg, the file structure is:

[override_nacp]
name=my custom title name game
author=someone
display_version=X.X.X

Note: If no config.ini is present it defaults to original title.
