Nintendo Switch Bootloader - CTCaer mod

hekate - CTCaer mod

Custom Nintendo Switch bootloader, firmware patcher, and more.

IPL configuration

The ipl can be configured via 'hekate_ipl.ini' (if it is present on the SD card). Each ini section represents a boot entry, except for the special section 'config' that controls the global configuration.

There are four possible type of entries. "[ ]": Boot entry, "{ }": Caption, "#": Comment, "newline": .ini cosmetic newline.

Configuration keys/values when boot entry is config:

Config option	Description
autoboot=0	0: Disable, #: Boot entry number to auto boot.
bootwait=3	0: Disable (Having VOL- pressed since injection goes to menu. It also disables bootlogo.), #: Time to wait for VOL- to enter menu.
customlogo=0	0: Use default hekate bootlogo, 1: Use bootlogo.bmp.
verification=2	0: Disable Backup/Restore verification, 1: Sparse (block based, fast and not 100% reliable), 2: Full (sha256 based, slow and 100% reliable).

Possible boot entry key/value combinations:

Config option	Description
logopath={SD path}	If global customlogo is 1 and logopath empty, bootlogo.bmp will be used. If logopath exists, it will load the specified bitmap.
warmboot={SD path}	Replaces the warmboot binary
secmon={SD path}	Replaces the security monitor binary
kernel={SD path}	Replaces the kernel binary
kip1={SD path}	Replaces/Adds kernel initial process. Multiple can be set.
fullsvcperm=1	Disables SVC verification
