Nov 18, 2018 Launching in to Custom Firmware and Running Home-brew. Remember than in the hekate textual menu you’ll be using the VOL+, VOL-and Power keys on the console as up, down, and enter respectively. From the main hekate menu, choose Launch and then scroll down and choose CFW under Custom Firmware. Your Switch should boot like normal.

Acronyms and terminology used in this guide:
- CFW: Custom Firmware, a series of patches to the console's firmware
- NAND: The console's internal built in storage
- RCM: Recovery mode, which contains the exploit necessary to launch payloads
- RCM jig: A device used to bridge Pin 10 in the right JoyCon rail to ground, which is what allows you to enter RCM. Without one, you cannot launch exploits
Before we begin, can my console be hacked?
That depends mainly on your serial number. Depending on how recently you've purchased your console, there's a chance you own a patched unit. Take a quick look at this chart and compare your serial to it - if it's in the safe area, congrats, you own an exploitable console! If not, there are still exploits to come, such as Deja Vu (an exploit, not the Eurobeat song)
Consoles that are patched can still enter RCM, but are not vulnerable to fusee-gelee once in RCM. If you believe your console is patched, and you attempt to run an exploit and nothing happens on screen, this is why.
