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.
