  1. PLEASE WATCH THE GUIDE I MADE IN MY DISCORD SERVER INSTEAD IF THIS IS TOO CONFUSING! Nintendo would take down the full video guide I made if I uploaded it to youtube so I put it in my discord server instead. https://discord.gg/zMzPbaXNWJ It is in the Guides channel.

    WILL MY SAVE DATA BE DELETED WHEN FORMATTING?
    – No. You will have to reinstall all your games on your stock firmware but your save data will NOT be deleted

    HOW DO I GO BACK TO MY NORMAL SWITCH?
    – You can either fully turn off your switch/restart it to go back to stock firmware, or inside the hbmenu (album) click "reboot to payload" and inside hekate launch you can choose "stock". When going back to your emunand/sysnand, repeat the steps used in the tegrarcm section of this video.

    MY SWITCH SAYS "POSSIBLY PATCHED" ON THE CHECKER WEBSITE. WHAT DO I DO?
    – You can still try to mod your switch. If your switch isn't patched, then you will boot into hekate using tegrarcm successfully. If it is patched, tegrarcm will not work. If it doesn't work, you will NOT brick your switch so there's no risk in trying.

    MY SWITCH SAYS "PATCHED" WHAT DO I DO?
    – You will need to install a modchip to be able to mod your switch (this is the same if possibly patched doesn't work). This requires soldering skills so make sure you know what you're doing and follow a different guide.

    CAN I USE ATMOSPHERE SYSNAND?
    – Yes but do not install "free" games or unlicensed nsps on your sysnand, as you will be BANNED. Only use your sysnand for custom themes/mods in games. Check to make sure the mods you use in games are online safe. Only use homebrew applications in your emunand.

    DOES THIS GUIDE STILL WORK?
    – if the title doesn't say "OUTDATED" then this guide is still working. When this guide does gets outdated, the steps will be the same but you will need to install newer versions of hekate, atmosphere, and sig patches when they come out. This will be outdataed once nintendo releases a new firmware version that breaks this current atmosphere version.

    Let me know if you have anymore questions and I hope this helps!

  2. When system mods are this involved, limited and clunky, I usually hold out. PSP and Vita I had the same experience. Super high risk to have a very delicately and barely modded platform. I'd rather have a soft mod that can dual boot and easily take on new software, which usually comes later after all of these sloppy tries.

  3. Brother I tried this but I am unable to unzip fusee.bin file I tried everything 7zip winrar but they all say the file is crupted

  5. Underrated guide. I followed a different guide and lost all my switch data to the formatting fat32 but I'm running disk drill right now to get it back, wish me luck.

  6. i aint about to fuck my console up doing this dumbass shit ill stick my modded 3ds

  7. 4:584:59 Oh no, not Sound Ideas, CHILDREN, CROWD – SMALL STUDIO AUDIENCE OF CHILDREN: BIG CHEER, CHEERING 01! I hate that sound effect, but the tutorial helped! Thanks!

  8. The hekate ipl ini disappeared and idk how to get it back. I never deleted it. I tried launching but no boot entries were found then I started looking in the folders and I doesn’t pop up

  9. i can't get the TegraRCM to work. I've copied every other step exactly and it just wont go green.
