HomePad is a console-style launcher for Nintendo emulators — a frameless, controller-friendly dashboard to launch, download, and set up emulators for the DS, DSi, 3DS, Wii, Wii U, and Switch from one place.

Highlights

  • Console dashboard with two launch modes — emulator or Home Menu / system menu.
  • Built-in downloader for the latest emulator releases, per system.
  • Installer tab — install Switch firmware & decryption keys, and 3DS system files, into auto-detected data folders.
  • Per-system setup — emulator folders with live path validation and console icons, melonDS BIOS/firmware, 3DS NAND, and Cemu (Wii U) MLC with Home System status (region + title ID).
  • Console mode — fullscreen, gamepad-navigable, with focus trapping.
  • Controllers — gamepad detection, player indicator, vibration test.
  • Live status bar — battery, Wi‑Fi, volume, clock.
  • Themes (dark / light) with selectable icon colors (white / black) and an optional per-console override.
  • Discord Rich Presence, system tray, and an opening screen.
  • Update checker that reads the latest GitHub release.

Downloads

  • Installer — HomePad_1.0.0_x64-setup.exe (NSIS) — recommended.
  • Portable — HomePad-1.0.0-portable.exe — single executable, no install.

Requires the Microsoft WebView2 runtime (preinstalled on Windows 11; the installer will fetch it if missing).
