Keys and firmware

The handbook’s quick start says the emulator does not ship firmware or decryption keys. The first launch tells you they are missing. Tools, Install Decryption Keys takes the keys you extracted from a console you own. Tools, Install Firmware takes a folder or a zip you exported from that same console. Games are a third dump, added by double-clicking the game list. I am stopping at those menu names.

There is no file list on this page, no mirror, and no “prod.keys” attachment. Pages that rank for those queries are often the reason people install the wrong archive. The project releases do not include keys in the twelve desktop files I checked. A fork that bundles keys, firmware or games fails the fork test on the forks page.

NX2Apple’s readme draws a different line for its own tool: prod.keys for Switch 1 dumps, and not for Switch 2 .nup files. That sentence is about nxnative, not a waiver for Eglantine’s first-launch dialog. I am not copying it onto the Eglantine install.
