I find this whole thread confusing. Your chip loads /payload.bin. If /payload.bin happens to be hekate, then simply selecting reboot from the power menu, will reboot the console to nyx. I've done this since chipping my OLED. I seriously don't understand what the issue is/was. I've used the firmware here since the beginning. This hekate loader is useless for a chipped Switch. Unless you just *have to* be able to reboot, while docked, from across the room, with a pro controller...

Can I suggest a power off option?

Now I'm using the OFF-switch from ITotalJustice with a forwarder:

https://github.com/ITotalJustice/Off-Switch

In my unpatched erista I had the power off payload and launched vía fastCFWswitch.

I'll try with an entry in the hekate_ipl.ini... Studious Pancake should list it.
interesting, so see if it works and post the result here.

So here's a question, the reason why fastcfwswitch DOESNT FULLY WORK on Mariko is because Mariko doesn't support the payload that would contain the instruction on what to do after reboot.

So if that's the case, why not save the instructions to the SDcard (like the bootid, or UMS) with a flag, that would be reset after it's executed.

I'm aware it would require changes to fastcfwswitch as well as a PR to hekate but it seems possible.

Okay once i set this up on my OLED switch , how do i change it so one of the options boots to the Hekate menu without going into UMS mode in Hekate?
Hey everyone, following up on this as i'm still not sure how to do this. There is an option to reboot to UMS mode in Hekate but i want to add an option to boot into Hekate without UMS, how can I do this?

You can set up a boot option on your hekate_ipl for hekate payload so when you load it up with studious pancake it reboot into hekate.

Okay, so how exactly do I do this? My my hekate_ipl.ini file located in the bootloader folder has the following in it:

[config]
autoboot=0
autoboot_list=0
bootwait=0
verification=1
backlight=100
autohosoff=2
autonogc=0
updater2p=1

[SEMI-STOCK (SYSMMC)]
fss0=atmosphere/package3
stock=1
emummc_force_disable=1
icon=bootloader/res/stock.bmp
{}

[CFW (SYSMMC)]
fss0=atmosphere/package3
kip1patch=nosigchk
emummc_force_disable=1
icon=bootloader/res/sysnand.bmp
{}

[CFW (EMUMMC)]
fss0=atmosphere/package3
kip1patch=nosigchk
emummcforce=1
icon=bootloader/res/emummc.bmp
{}
