A Nintendo Switch homebrew app to download and update CFWs, FWs and cheat codes. Supports Atmosphère, ReiNX, and SXOS.

Works on unpatched (Erista) and patched (v2/Mariko) Switches.

Features

Update Atmosphere CFW.
Update Hekate/Payload - Download and update Hekate, as well as a selection of RCM payloads.
Custom Downloads - Supports user-provided links for Atmosphère packs as well as regular downloads.
Download firmwares.
Download cheats.
And more.

Installation

Copy the aio-switch-updater/ directory to /switch/ on your sdcard.

Notes:

This app can also reboot to specific payload and change software color scheme of Joy-Cons.
Additional color profiles can be found in the releases and should be copied to config/aio-switch-updater/jc_profiles.json.

User guide

Update CFW

Update the Atmosphère Switch Custom Firmware.
- The app allows you to update CFW, and it uses a custom RCM payload to finalize the installation, as it can't be performed while HOS is running.
- If you would like to preserve additional files or directories, write their path (one line each) in /config/aio-switch-updater/preserve.txt and they won't be overwritten when updating.
- Place this file in /config/aio-switch-updater/copy_files.txt in order to have specific copy operations performed after each download. This is mainly meant for users with trinkets who want payloads automatically copied to a directory.

Update Hekate/Payload

Download and update Hekate, as well as a selection of RCM payloads.

Custom Downloads

A custom Atmosphère url can be entered in this file.
- Once moved to /config/aio-switch-updater/custom_packs.json, it will show on the Custom Download menu.
- This can be used to support third-party packs through AIO-Switch-Updater. Non-Atmosphère downloads can also be added in the misc category.

Download firmwares

Download firmware files to /firmware that can then be installed using DayBreak.

Download cheats

Download and extract daily-updated cheat code.
- The program will only extract cheat codes for the games you own. By default, this homebrew will overwrite the existing cheats.
- If you have your own cheat files that you'd like to keep as is, you can turn off cheat updates for specific titles in Tools→Cheat Menu.
Download cheat sheets from Cheat Slips.
Download individual cheat codes from the GBAtemp.net database.

Extras (in the `Tools` tab)

Reboot to specific payload.
Consult games with missing updates.
Change software color scheme of Joy-Cons.
- Additional color profiles can be found in the releases and should be copied to config/aio-switch-updater/jc_profiles.json.
- Use this webpage to generate your own profiles.
Change software color scheme of Pro Controllers (has to be paired as Player 1).
- Additional color profiles can be found in the releases and should be copied to config/aio-switch-updater/pc_profiles.json.
Consult installed cheat codes.
Launch the Switch's web browser.
Edit internet settings (DNS, IP address, MTU, etc). Add you own configs to config/aio-switch-updater/internet.json. You can find a template in the root of the repo.
Tabs can be hidden through the Hide tabs menu, and more entries can be hidden by manually editing config/aio-switch-updater/hide_tabs.json.
