As most of us know, Atmosphère is the effectively the go-to CFW for the Nintendo Switch as it’s free, open-source and is supported by virtually all homebrew and custom sysmodules (plugins) released for the Nintendo Switch while receiving pretty frequent updates to add new features, respond to new firmwares and improve the overall experience. Now, Atmosphere 0.16.2 which has been touted as a minor update is out and it brings along:

  • Updates to the ‘pgl’ and ‘creport’ sysmodules to be in line with how they act on FW 11.0.0
    • Creport is no longer launched multiple times when a process crashes

  • Atmosphère ZIPs do not bundle BCT.ini anymore as the CFW relies on defaults stored within the code itself
    • You may still use a custom BCT.ini configuration and a template is provided on the GitHub repository

  • The NRO allowing one to reboot to payload has been updated in order to improve compatibility
  • Some other stuff such as a new system setting relating to Atmosphère Debug Mode and allowing homebrew to use FW 8.0.0+ kernel mappings

You may grab Atmosphere 0.16.2 by following the links below and installing it as usual. Firmwares up to and including the latest FW 11.0.1 are supported.
