Firmware 23.0.1 is available
NXFW’s 23.0.1 release packages Nintendo Switch system firmware in the FW-23.0.1.zip archive. The asset is listed at 340,526,848 bytes and was published on October 1, 2026. The project marks it as a standard release rather than a rolling development build.
The release notes identify two firmware components: the FAT NCA file 00e57b67b4dbd750a2df0574cddc123d.nca and the exFAT NCA file 16510dde912c6c6894d573f17006f113.nca. The separate files correspond to the two filesystem variants included in the firmware package.
What NXFW provides
NXFW is a Nintendo Switch firmware repository with automatic updates when Nintendo releases new firmware. Its packages use the FW-X.X.X.zip naming format, making versioned firmware archives easy to identify in the project’s release list.
The repository README directs users to download the desired versioned archive from the Releases section and extract it as needed. NXFW provides firmware files; it is not a replacement for the Nintendo Switch operating system and is not an emulator.
What is documented for 23.0.1
The 23.0.1 release notes list the firmware version and the two NCA filenames, but do not describe user-facing system changes, security updates or compatibility details. No specific feature changes can therefore be attributed to this release from the available notes.
NXFW also identifies FuseNCA as a related project covering system-title NCA references and anti-downgrade fuse information.
