Switch devs SciresM, CTCaer and shchmue have released updates for Atmosphère, Hekate/Nyx, and Lockpick_RCM respectively. The tool updates bring Switch firmware 13.0.0 compatibility, along with additional features an bug fixes.

What are Atmosphère / Hekate / Lockpick_RCM for Nintendo Switch ?

Hekate is a bootloader for Nintendo Switch, and more general “swiss army knife” payload for any hackable Switch. Atmosphère is the most complete and used Custom Firmware on the Nintendo Switch. The combination of these two tools constitutes in my opinion the basics of hacking your Switch.

Lockpick_RCM lets you decrypt and export your Switch’s keys for use in various critical homebrew tools (such as hactool, hactoolnet/LibHac, ChoiDujour, etc…).

Atmosphère 1.1.0 update compatible with Switch 13.0.0 firmware

Along with 13.0.0 support, this update brings the following changes (from the official changelog)

• Support was implemented for 13.0.0.
  • mesosphère was updated to reflect the latest official kernel behavior.
  • ncm was updated to reflect the latest official behaviors.
  • erpt was updated to reflect the latest official behaviors.
    • Two new services (“sprofile”) were added to erpt, and have been fully reimplemented.
    • Please Note: These services provide a way for settings to be pushed to consoles over the internet without system update.
      • Because there appear to be no settings pushed out yet, this implementation fundamentally cannot be fully tested right now, but hopefully there are no issues once settings begin being distributed.
• The LogManager system module was reimplemented.
  • This system module provides services that some games use for logging.
  • Atmosphere’s reimplementation supports logging to the SD card (if lm!enable_sd_card_logging is true) and to ams.TMA.
    • To control the directory where logs are saved, modify the lm!sd_card_log_output_directory setting.
  • Atmosphere’s reimplementation is disabled by default (in order to save memory), but can be enabled by setting lm!enable_log_manager to true.
    • This will allow reading over logs from games which use the services (or potentially logging from homebrew in the future), which can be useful to developers.
    • Please note that when TMA is fully implemented in the future, enabling TMA will forcibly enable LogManager.
• General system stability improvements to enhance the user’s experience.

Hekate 5.6.1/ Nyx 1.0.7 update

• HOS 13.0.0 Support
• Improved error messages for pkg1/pkg2 mismatch
• Improved error message on fatal because of mixed Atmosphere components because of old path in fss0 key.
• Nyx TSEC Keys info/dump replaced with Lockpick RCM
• Create/Change/Migrate emuMMC now uses a unique ID

Notice about Atmosphere 1.0.0 and up: The fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin in hekate_ipl.ini must be changed to fss0=atmosphere/package3
Notice about resized emuMMC: Resized emuMMC does not have the slow bug since v5.6.0. You can create a new one or recreate it via Nyx and the issue will be gone.

Lockpick_RCM 1.9.6 Update

• Fix Reboot to Hekate, and update bdk to that of hekate 5.6.1
