Hacking Question Update atmosphere and install games

[falm7001]

Hi

I am very new at this. I just bought a switch with firmware 7.0.1 (AMS 0.8.8) with a NS- Atmosphere dongle. For now is working fine and I have no complaints.

The thing is that I have no idea about how to use it beyond the fact that I can play the 4 games currently on the SD or the console I dont know.

* I pressume that the Atmosphere is at the 0.8.8 firmware and my first question is if I should upgrade the dongle itself or leave it as it is?

I know is working fine but I would like to install newer versions of homebrew and mine is prety old is 3.0 also do I have to update hekate?

I would really appreciate any help and recomendations regarding this matter.

Thanks in advance.

0.8.8 is not a firmware version, it's the version of Atmosphere. Current version is 0.10.1.

Do you boot up with Hekate or fusee? If you don't know the answer, you will need to figure it out before we provide you with an upgrade path. There are also many threads that will help, including the https://gbatemp.net/threads/switch-noob-paradise-ask-questions-here.488277/

Thank you so much for your answer. I´m almost sure is Hekate considering that there are no files named fusee, but there is one named hekate on the SD card. I just don´t understand if I can update the Atmosphere to the last version 0.10.1 even running firmware 7.0.1 at the console.
