=== What is Hekate? === Before the console turns on, there is (normally) invisible software that handles the startup of the console. This applies to most electronic devices. This invisible software software is called the '''bootloader''', and it handles the preparation of the device. When you hacked the Switch, you also gave it a custom bootloader menu named ''Hekate'' ("heh-KAH-tay"). This software serves to add flexibility to how the Nintendo Switch starts up, and provides an interface for you to select different payloads/OSes to launch upon startup, including OSes like Android and Linux.
