## What it is
DeepSea is an all-in-one custom firmware (CFW) package for hacked Nintendo Switch consoles, bundling Atmosphère, Hekate, and a curated set of homebrew tools into installable packages. It is built and released via a Python-based build pipeline and offers Advanced, Normal, and Minimal package tiers.

## Use cases
- set up custom firmware on a hacked Nintendo Switch
- install NSP and XCI game files over WiFi or USB
- run an FTP server on the Switch for file transfers
- manage savegames and back them up
- emulate Amiibo figures
- overclock or underclock the Switch with sys-clk
- connect third-party Bluetooth controllers
- browse and install homebrew apps from an app store

## When to choose
- you have a modded Switch and want a preconfigured, maintained CFW bundle instead of assembling tools yourself
- you want a Tesla overlay-driven suite with updater, cheat manager, save manager, and file tools in one install
- you want tiered packages so you can pick a minimal or full-featured setup

## When to avoid
- you have an unmodified Switch and cannot boot a payload in RCM mode
- you only want a single specific tool like Atmosphère or Hekate without the bundled extras
- you need official firmware support or online play without ban risk

## Facets
- artifact type: application

- domain: gaming-tools, self-hosted
