Create an emuMMC

Before getting started you will need the following:

  • A hackable Nintendo Switch.

  • An SD Card that is 64GB or larger.

  • Latest version of Atmosphere and Hekate.

Once you are ready, follow the guide below:

  1. Launch Hekate.

  10. Wait for it to finish

  11. Tap on “Close” on the top right, tap on “Launch”, and boot into your emuMMC.

    Note

    If you downloaded Hekate by itself then you needed to create a hekate_ipl.ini file in your bootloader folder. That is outside the scope of this guide. If you don’t know how to do that then use the SDSetup bundle.

  12. Congratulations you are done. You can go into “System Settings”, scroll down to “System”, and you should see an “E” at the end of your “Current version:” indicating you are in your emuMMC.
