Installation

Scratch Everywhere! is Homebrew software and requires a hacked/modded console. There are two methods to install the runtime:

  • Download the release or nightly build (easy)
  • Build the file yourself (harder)

Disclaimer

Nightly builds may be more unstable than releases and should probably only be used if you are instructed to do so in a bug report or you know exactly what using nightlies implies.

Get up and running for 3DS

Download the .cia file or .3dsx in the Releases tab or nightly build.

NOTE

Scratch Everywhere! for 3DS is also on Universal Updater, so you can just download it there and keep it updated that way!

.cia (Installable app)

Place the .cia file in the cias/ folder of your 3DS SD card. Open the FBI application and navigate to the cias/ folder and install the .cia file.

Put your Scratch projects in 3ds/scratch-everywhere and open the Scratch Everywhere application on your Home screen.

.3dsx

Place the .3dsx file in the 3ds/ folder of your 3DS SD card, put Scratch projects in 3ds/scratch-everywhere.

Then it should be as simple as opening the Homebrew Launcher on your 3DS and running the app!

Get up and running for Wii U

Download the scratch-wiiu.zip file in the Releases tab or nightly build.

NOTE

Scratch Everywhere! is also on the Homebrew App Store, so you can just download it there and keep it updated that way!

Unzip the file in your sdcard:/wiiu/apps/ folder.

Place the scratch projects you want in sdcard:/wiiu/scratch-wiiu/.

Then it should be as simple as opening the app on the Wii U Menu or in the Homebrew Launcher on your Wii U!

Get up and running for Wii

Download the scratch-wii.zip file in the Releases tab or nightly build.

NOTE

Scratch Everywhere! is also on the Open Shop Channel, so you can just download it there and keep it updated that way!

Unzip the file and put the apps folder inside of the root of your SD card.

Place the Scratch projects you want in sdcard:/apps/scratch-wii/

Then it should be as simple as opening the app in the Homebrew Menu on your Wii!

Get up and running for GameCube

NOTE

There is currently a bug on the GameCube version causing projects to not show up on the Main Menu. The GameCube release has been temporarily removed from the Releases tab until the issue is fixed. For now, you need to compile from source to use the GameCube version.

Download the scratch-gamecube.zip file in the Releases tab or nightly build.

Unzip the file. Put your Scratch projects in the same place you put your .dol file.

Then it should be as simple as opening the app on your GameCube!

Get up and running for Nintendo Switch

Download the scratch-nx.nro file in the Releases tab or nightly build.

Put your Scratch projects in the same place you put your .nro file.

NOTE

Scratch Everywhere! is also on the Homebrew App Store, so you can just download it there and keep it updated that way!

Then it should be as simple as opening the app on your Nintendo Switch!

Get up and running for Vita

NOTE

Scratch Everywhere! for PS Vita is also on VitaDB, so you can just download it directly from your Vita using VitaDB Downloader! Do note however, the build on VitaDB might be a few versions behind.

Download the scratch-vita.vpk file from the releases tab or nightly build, transfer it over to the Vita's storage, and install it using VitaShell on your Vita.

Put your Scratch Projects in ux0:data/scratch-vita/ (you will need to create the folder yourself).

Then it should be as simple as opening and starting the app from your Vita's LiveArea homescreen!
