hekate VS SimpleModManager

I have a v1 unpatched Switch. I'd like to start the process of installing custom firmware. I read this note about being careful to make sure Atmosphere and Hekate support the latest firmware before updating, which they both seem to. But there's also something about gamecard firmware?

Make sure you have most update files from the main repo GitHub. https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate/releases. Follow the update instructions

Atmosphere : Atmosphere 1.5.4 (pre-release) Hekate : v6.0.4 & Nyx v1.5.3 Sigpatches : sigmapatches.coomer.party or hackintendo.com

I've installed modchip on Lite. It shows the "no sd card" logo. I've tried both hekate official gitthub and HATS packages loaded into an SD card, but it gives a black screen. It returns to no sd card when I press the power button for 10 seconds after removing the sd card.

Download Hekate 6.0.4 from the Github Page: https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate/releases/tag/v6.0.4 And move the extracted ZIP Contents to the Root of your SD Card.

Hekate 6.0.4 is out, get it: https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate/releases/tag/v6.0.4Also make sure you update AMS to 1.5.3: https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases/tag/1.5.3

I think that's exactly what Simple Mod Manager is for

looks like there was a fix 2 months ago https://github.com/nadrino/SimpleModManager/issues/31

If you're looking for mods for the game that change either textures or behavior of the game you may want to check out the Animal Crossing: New horizons page for layeredFS mods. (I recommend also using something like SimpleModManager to help organize layeredFS mods)

There is a Homebrew app SimpleModManager this can help you read the github page and you will understand

https://github.com/nadrino/SimpleModManager this works but depending on the game though you might want to just go for one meant for that specific game like this for smash: https://github.com/Raytwo/ARCropolis/releases

Download the latest "NRO" file from the SMM GitHub release page.

Keep an eye on SimpleModManager by Nadrino... a new release is coming soon.

If you go on gamebanana you can find plenty of mods. The mod for linkle is high quality and replaces clothing. I don't know about a zelda mod but you could search for one on gamebanana. For something to switch the mods try using Simple Mod Manager
