CTCaer has updated his Hekate Mod (one of the most popular forks of Hekate since the original source was pulled from github) to version 4.1.
This new version brings, unsurprisingly, full support for firmware 6.0.0, as well as multiple improvements and bug fixes.
[h=2]What is Hekate?[/h]Hekate is a custom Nintendo Switch bootloader and firmware patcher, which also includes recovery tools.
Hekate is typically used in combination with a Custom Firmware such as Atmosphere to run homebrews on your console. All hackable consoles (all “1st generation” Nintendo Switch consoles) can run it.
Hekate Mod is a fork of the original tool, which adds some features and support for more firmware versions.
The full changelog for Hekate Mod 4.1:
Full 6.0.0 support
Secmon/ kernel patches, FS patches, sleep mode, hw config, etc.
Improved .ini/payload handling
hekate_ipl.ini is no longer required and hekate does not hang on empty folders.
PWM backlight
You can now change the backlight brightness.
