+<heading 1>Getting Started</heading>
+To start modifying, you need a modded Switch and a legitimate copy of Splatoon 2. Full guide to modding your Switch can be found [[https://switch.hacks.guide/|here]]. Do note that following a video guide is not advised, as there is no guarantee on how up-to-date the process described therein is. Also note that, as of now, the Switch 2 is considered unmodifiable.
+<alert info>Ensure you never connect to Nintendo's servers when running Custom Firmware. Guides to ensuring this can be found [[https://switch.hacks.guide/user_guide/all/launching_cfw?tab=instructions-for-emummc|here]]</alert>
+This guide will start with the assumption that Atmosphere and Hekate has been set up. The Hekate bootloader has a very useful feature in Tools->USB Tools->SD Card which allows you to edit the contents of the SD card while it is still inserted into the Switch by connecting your Switch via USB-C to USB-A (i.e., the Switch Pro cable).
+<alert info>You may be prompted to format a drive when editing your SD card. NEVER DO THIS!</alert>
+<heading 2>Extraction</heading>
+One tool you can use to extract the game's data is [[https://github.com/DarkMatterCore/nxdumptool|nxdumptool]].
+Go into user titles menu->[REGIONAL_GAME_ID] Splatoon 2->nca/nca fs dump options->dump base application->Program->RomFS->start nca fs section dump (you will need the game card inserted if the game is not on your system).
+You should have a romfs folder within a 0100F8F0000A2000 or 01003BC0000A0000 folder depending on your region.
+It is recommended to save a copy of this on your computer and leave it uneditted, with all edits being made in a seperate folder.
+<heading 2>General Editing</heading>
+The most general tool for editing Switch games is the [[https://github.com/KillzXGaming/Switch-Toolbox|Switch Toolbox]]. It can do most of the functions necessary, but its lack of specialisation means you are better off with more bespoke tools.
+You should unpack the .pack archives found in the Pack folder (Map.pack, Mush.release.pack, Param.pack, Rumble.pack, Sound.release.pack) into their own folders for easy searching for assets.
