 Currently, the latest Switch system firmware is `{nx_firmware}`.
 
-If your Switch is **unpatched**:
-Atmosphere and Hekate DO NOT currently support {nx_firmware}, BUT unpatched units will always be hackable when the main tools get new releases.
-Wait for further advice and information from us via <#225556031428755456>, where new releases will be posted.
+Atmosphere and Hekate DO currently support {nx_firmware}. Please read the message below for information regarding new updates.
 
-If your Switch is **hardware patched**:
-Any unit that is Mariko or above (aka 'redbox' Switches, Switch Lites, Switch OLED, etc.) is *unlikely to ever be hackable*.
+As of January 26th, 2026, the primary maintainer of Atmosphère, SciresM, has announced that they are retiring from the public hacking scene. Since they have retired, Atmosphère updates will likely take longer to release with future firmware updates. What this means is that, currently, firmware version 21.2.0 is the latest (officially) supported firmware, without any potential uncertainty.
+
+Users should be cautious updating past firmware versions 21.2.0, as Atmosphère may not work on newer firmware versions if Nintendo has implemented any major changes.
+
+Because of this, there is a large likelihood of (potentially dangerous) Atmosphère forks coming into existence because of this. Users are advised not to use these forks, and should wait for proper Atmosphère updates from developers who know what they're doing.

+help-desc: Description of why forks and AIO packs are dangerous
+aliases: aio,fork

+
+Atmosphere forks and AIO typically bundle several extras, including custom system modules which can cause issues with booting if they are not compatible with the currently running firmware. As a result, troubleshooting is often required to figure out which one is causing the issue.

 The Nintendo Switch can use SD cards up to 2TB in size when formatted to FAT32.
 
-The recommended size is 128GB, however you may want more (256, 512..) if you want to use an emuMMC, run Android or run Linux.
+The minimum recommended size is 128GB, however you may want more (256GB, 512GB..) if you want to use an emuMMC, run Android or run Linux.
 
 The recommended filesystem format is FAT32. While the Switch supports exFAT through an additional update from Nintendo, the filesystem driver used by Nintendo is prone to corruption and as a result is not advisable.
