I am using a v2 switch with a picofly I installed. I recently set up 2 emunands/emummcs, and am successfully able to switch between the two if I go to the emuMMC tab in hekate and press the "change emuMMC" option. While this works, I'd much rather prefer just going into the launch menu where I can easily launch into emuMMC one or emuMMC 2 directly, (RAW1 & RAW2 respectively ) instead of having to go to change the emuMMC every time. Now, I did some digging and it seems that the hekate_ipl.ini file is what controls what shows up in the launch menu, but I don't understand what to change to get another option to show up, so I'm kind of lost. Any help is appreciated :)

I tried, but what do I change exactly? I've been successful in having two emummcs show up, but there is no clear way to edit the path, And I still have to change the EmuMMC manually.


You need to learn how to edit your hekate_ipl.txt, your boot options are on that list.

[config]
autoboot=0
autoboot_list=0
bootwait=0
backlight=100
autohosoff=2
autonogc=0
updater2p=1
bootprotect=0


{--- Custom Firmware ---}
[CFW (SYSNAND)]
fss0=atmosphere/package3
kip1patch=nosigchk
emummc_force_disable=1
icon=bootloader/res/sysnand.bmp
{}

[CFW (EMUMMC)]
fss0=atmosphere/package3
kip1patch=nosigchk
emummcforce=1
icon=bootloader/res/emummc.bmp
{}

Alright everyone, I was successful in doing this as I followed this guide, and copied their hekate_ipl.ini file. (Step 8 in Additional Steps Section). Thanks to everyone who did their best trying to help me.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
