In order to make CakesFW work you need the following files:

Step 1: Setup your SD card

Copy all the files from the cakes.zip file into the root of the SD card. Next place the firmware.bin and cetk files in the cakes folder and remove all the .here files.

Step 2: Launch CakesFW

The most common way to launch a CFW is with the Homebrew Launcher. (However you can use other exploids like MSET or A9LH too.) Boot into the Homebrew Launcher with the entrypoint of your choice, and simply select the CakesFW icon. (If you nothing but a blackscreen, you might want to repeat this step.)

Step 3: Setup the CFW

Now you see the Cakes menu, now you can do the following things;

  • Boot CFW Select this to boot into the CFW.
  • Select Patches Here you can enable/disable all the installed .cake patches. More info
  • More options... Here you can toggle some simple options like autobooting and select what Emunand you like to boot.
  • Version info This is nothing special, it just tells you what version of CakesFW you are using and your NATIVE_FIRM verison.
