A new Nintendo Switch firmware is available. So far seems no new keys are generated, and FW 20.0.0 Keys decompress the 20.2.0 firmware; sigpatches will need an update, SYS-Patch should work fine. So far the only app affected is NXThemeInstaller which needs new patches. Bootlogos nor PNGShot are affected.

Ver. 20.2.0 (Released July 14, 2025)​

• Fixed an issue where Parental Control settings were not transferred from Nintendo Switch to Nintendo Switch 2 in certain circumstances during a system transfer.
• General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.

BTW, do you have the problem of \atmosphere\erpt_reports geting full of files after openning and closing any game?

I cleaned the folder to make sure it was empty, then launched Xenoblade Chronicles X.
The folder remained empty.
I haven't tested any other games.

I believe Atmosphere auto cleans that directory when it reaches 1000 files. Also, Sphaira has an option in the "bleeding edge" release to "Disable erpt_reports" but the dev has suggested to stick to using release builds. Will be a nice feature to have once it hits release.

Should it be here or somewhere else?

(I’m asking because I got chewed out for not putting a question in the proper place.)

Yes that is the place, first search nobody had reported the same before and if not, create a new issue.

does anyone know if this update fixes the save data bug that people were talking about since the digital game card update?
as i heard that updating your switch along with updating your games causes the save data to be erased, i wanna make sure before updating

(note i'm also referring to unmodded consoles)

Please Nintendo let this latest update ride into the sunset with the switch 1


I'm tired of updating my homebrew :'(

Unfortunately not gonna happen for a while. We've got games like Metroid Prime 4 and Legends Z-A coming still. At least for the latter they're likely to do updates to try to eff over modders.

Still waiting on that enhanced user experience Nintendo... Remember that the 3DS had themes.

Yep. That was really cool. And it's still available thanks to the wonderful homebrew community

Wow, if a newer console drops the chance of getting themes or significant new features on the old console goes down by alot!

Hello team,

I have tested everything on Switch v1: FW 20.2.0 + Atmosphere 1.9.2 and it works fine overall. However, I noticed the following issues:

• In the main menu, game icons take a bit longer to load and maybe, navigation feels a bit noticeably slower than before.
• DBI “Clean orphaned files” takes much longer to start and complete.
• \atmosphere\erpt_reports fills up with files after simply navigating through the Homebrew menu and other sections.

I have tested this both with sysmodules in atmosphere/contents and with all of them disabled, and the issue persists.

I’m attaching a compressed folder with 29 error reports generated within just 10 minutes, only by browsing menus and basic sections.

I think that this might be because some Atmosphere incompatibilities with new FW 20.2.0, but no idea...

Could someone help me with the read and interpretation of the erpt_reports please?

Thanks in advance,

Best regards

Willsito

Yes, that is something already reported and affecting all homebrew which list installed apps.

BOTW 1.6.0 & TOTK 1.2.1 work fine for me with 20.2.0 and AMS 1.9.2.

I didn't try the other game you mentionned because I haven't them.

Remove all mods, the most easy way is to backup and then delete the SDMC:/atmosphere/contents folder. Then download and install sys-patch sysmodule
