Bootloader Hekateiplini Has Boot Entries Hot Jun 2026

For many Nintendo Switch homebrew users, the first encounter with Hekate, the powerful graphical bootloader, often comes with a frustrating screen: "No main boot entries found... Check that bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini has boot entries". This common error signifies that Hekate cannot locate any valid boot configurations, preventing you from launching your custom firmware (CFW) or stock OS.

If you can tell me , I can tell you exactly which hekate_ipl.ini config you need.

If you can't edit the config right now:

autoboot=1

Save this file as hekate_ipl.ini and place it directly into the /bootloader/ folder on your SD card root. Once you re-inject the Hekate payload, the "Launch" menu should now show your new boot options. Advanced: Using "More Configs"

[CFW (SysNAND)] fss0=atmosphere/fss0 bootproto=flexible emummc_force_disable=1

A "hot" boot entry is one that gets you into your desired OS or tool instantly. This can be achieved through the ofw=1 or payload parameter.
