Hacking Homebrew Homebrew app Hekate vs Atmosphere vs Exosphere

[KinTheOcelot]

Hi, I'm new to CFWs and would like an explanation of the uses and differences between these 3. Or if there's another CFW I should consider. I'm gonna be transferring data from ryujinx, tweaking sys parameters, and would like to play pirated games online.

Thank you

Hekate is a bootloader. Atmosphere is the actual CFW. Exosphere is a part of Atmosphere.

You're not going to be playing pirated games online for very long, as it's a surefire way to get banned.

Anyway, to answer your question:

Hekate - A Switch bootloader. You can use it to launch various payloads as well as boot into CFW, Android, and Linux.

Atmosphere - The most popular CFW for Switch. Allows the user to run homebrew applications (among other things).

Exosphere - A method used to blank your Switch's PRODINFO.
