I'm currently having trouble on switch v3.0. SD Files are extracted to root of sd card and am able to inject payload but when I boot into cfw it hangs at black screen. I don't have XC update installed so maybe that is the issue? Any help would be appreciated

A .zip file (or any other method) would be possible in order to add usb loading through the usb cable, instead FTP or shutdown the switch to use the micro SD?

Can I delete the ReiNX folder if I don't use it?
IIRC, Hekate use Atmosphere, right?

Also, what is the fusee-secondary.bin file at the root?
Can I delete it?

If you aren't using ReiNX you can delete the ReiNX folder

fusee secondary is part of Atmospheres bootloader, you can delete it if you want to because your using hekate as your bootloader

Hey, I'm trying to run Version 8.1 of the SD card on my nintendo switch running 4.1 firmware for the first time.

I was able to do a complete backup onto my SD card, but when I try to launch a CFW, I get "could not find or open hekate_ipl.ini"

I couldn't find a .bin on the SD so I use the one from version 4.0 on the hekake release.

HELP!

Did you download the latest release of your favorite CFW, extract the folders, and put it on your SD card? If you did, under bootloaders should be a file named hekate_ipl.ini

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding, but the hekate_ipl.ini file exists, and since I downloaded the full version it has all the CFW's already in it no? I see directories for ReiNX, ...

What computer operating system are you using?

I prepared the SD card in a Windows VM running my boot camp partition - I tried with a 16GB and 128GB SD cards formatted as FAT32.

UPDATE: User error! It seems that while copying directories the boatloader directory got overwritten on one of the cards, recreating worked! Thanks again!

    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.
