## Avatool

Simple homebrew tool to overwrite Switch account avatars.

### Info

Avatool relies on shutting down the Switch's account service. This will result in a crash eventually. Once this is done:

* L and R change the target avatar

* Up and Down control menu

* A overwrites targetted avatars

	

Avatars are 256x256 jpg images. Place them in **sdmc:/avatars/** for Avatool to find them. When exporting your avatars, make sure they are not progressive as the switch cannot read them if they are. This results in a blank or white user icon.
