Vöid is an all-in-one custom firmware for the Nintendo Switch based on Atmosphere, in the same kin as Kosmos, entirely focusing on ease of use for anyone that wants to set up custom firmware on their Nintendo Switch without much effort.

Features

  • Drag and drop, ready to use from the moment you inject your payload.
  • 2 flavours are available, Normal and HBG. Both patched, but HBG Shop only works on HBG version.
  • HBG version Boots through Hekate using Fusee-Primary, making it HGB ready.
  • Works on all Firmware versions, providing you can inject the payload.
  • Incognito enabled by default, using the Atmosphere's new Incognito, which doesn't require a backup, or writing directly to NAND.
  • This is enabled for emuNAND only to enable people to go online on sysNAND without issue.
    • Note: This is not known to be safe and does not guarantee protection.
  • Ready to use homebrew apps, all up to date. Just open your album on the Switch, and have fun.
  • Up-To-Date Atmosphere, always.
  • HB Appstore recognises what you have installed, so in the future you can update your apps yourself.
  • PC Tools available in the Zip, to get you started.
  • Payloads available to use with a Payload launcher.
  • A HBG and None HBG version available.
  • Lightweight.

Installation

Note: Make a nand backup if you haven't already.

Download the latest zip file.

Copy the contents of the "SD Card" to the root of your Switch SD Card.

Inject Hekate using a payload launcher of your choice.

Troubleshooting

It won't boot, it's only a black screen?​

From what I've been told by various people, this seems to be fixed by a completely fresh install and formatting to FAT32.

I keep getting a fatal error on boot?​

A thing to try is fixing archive bits (this should never need to be done, strictly speaking) in Hekate by going to Tools > "Arch bit * RCM * Touch * Partitions" > Fix Archive Bit.

Please remember to migrate your emuNAND via Hekate, if you're having issues booting into emuNAND.

FAQ

Q. Why "Vöid"?​

Atmosphere is named after the layer of gasses around the world, and Kosmos is named after, well, the Cosmos.

Both astronomical in nature, Vöid is named from the emptiness of space, and to "fill the void" of Kosmos. The umlaut is just because I liked it.

Q. You said Incognito isn't known to be safe, what else can I do to protect myself?​

First of all, do not install pirated games and run them on your account and then connect to the internet. That is a sure way to get banned.

If you do want to connect to the internet and use applications such as Homebrew Appstore, then I'd highly recommend 90DNS

Q. Why Awoo and Goldleaf? Isn't one enough?​

Goldleaf is incredible for title management but can be a bit broken at times for installing games.

This is where Awoo comes in, as it works the majority of the time without hassle.

Q. What is the .get folder?​

The .get folder is the folder used by HB Appstore to show what is installed, what version, etc.

Changelog

5.0

  • No more unpatched versions, just Normal and HBG Versions.

Normal:

  • Boots using Fusee Secondary, making load times a lot faster.
    • This means that HBG Shop does NOT work with this version.
    • This boots much faster than the HBG version due to using fss0.
  • Names been changed to sysVOID and emuVOID, because why not?
  • Added payload launcher homebrew app from suchmememanyskill to allow you to launch into Hekate if needed. Thanks to @MSco for the suggestion.
  • Up to date, Hekate sigpatches included.
  • Added Hekate and Fusee Primary to the payloads folder, for launching with Payload Launcher and if you want to chainload yourself using either version.

HBG:

  • Launches how it did previously, by chainloading Fusee Primary.
    • Please note, this makes launching Atmosphere much slower.
  • Names been changed to sysVOID and emuVOID, because why not?
  • Up to date, sigpatches included.
  • Added payload launcher homebrew app from suchmememanyskill to allow you to launch into Hekate if needed. Thanks to @MSco for the suggestion.
  • Added Hekate and Fusee Primary to the payloads folder, for launching with Payload Launcher and if you want to chainload yourself using either version.

4.6

  • Updated Sigpatches to newest release for Atmosphere 13.0.
  • Removed the following to make Vöid Lite even Lighter for a bog-standard install. Removing everything I don't feel is needed to get you up and running with a smaller installation.
    • Amiigo.
    • FTPD.
    • Switch Theme Installer.
    • Switch Cheat Updater.
    • N-Xplorer.
    • Amiigo Overlay.
    • Sys-Tune Overlay.
  • Updated VG Edit to the latest release.

4.5

4.0

  • Two options of both Vöid and Vöid Lite are available. One Patched with Sigpatches, one without.

3.2

  • Removed boot wait as the boot logo doesn't currently work.
  • Finally found an HBG Shop download to test, and HBG DOES now work.
    • As always, HBG will not come included.
  • Added Appstore Workbench to the PC Folder of Vöid NX.
  • Something about system stability.

3.1

  • Sigpatches updated and verifies working, again. Successfully installed and ran a game without issue.
  • Updated Awaoo Installer to 1.3.3.

3.0

  • All Homebrew apps updated.
  • Added the following:
    • VGEdit.
    • Emuiibo.
    • Amiigo.
    • NX Theme Injecter.
    • Status Monitor Overlay.
    • SYS Tune Overlay.
  • Updated Bootlogo, however, due to chainloading it doesn't work at the moment but added it anyway. But it looks nicer regardless.
  • Added a Vöid Lite, which does not include the Payloads and PC Tools.
  • HB Appstore cache update and shows what you have installed.
  • General clean up, so with a fresh install of Vöid you will no longer get multiple of the same versions of Homebrew Apps.

NOT TESTED:

  • Hekate now boots by chainloading Fusee Primary, so HGB Shop should work, please let me know if this isn't the case as the website is down and I couldn't test it.

2.1.1

  • Another cleanup.
  • Sigpatch Installer was added for easier sigpatch updating.

2.1

  • Cleaned up the /switch/ folder once again, to remove duplicates.
  • Included the Appstore files, so the Appstore now knows what is installed.
  • These are in /switch/.get
  • lockpick_rcm and TegraExplorer payloads are now included in the SD Card folder.
  • Edizon config folder is now present.
  • Overlays for Tesla are now present (Not sure why these got removed).

2.0

  • Sigpatches are now included by default.
  • Added a boot logo, because why not.
  • Added sys-con.
  • Added Gamecard Installer.
  • Fixed a few boot issues I encounter and assumed others did too, this now boots correctly.
  • Tidied up the Switch folder to include all homebrew provided.

1.1.1

  • Added Hekate config files.

1.1

  • Added Hekate properly to the zip, as I very stupidly uploaded an outdated zip folder without Hekate present.

1.0.2

1.0.1

  • Incognito was disabled for sysNAND to allow people to play their legit games online. emuNAND is still enabled by default.
