ArgonNX-SE
Argon is a noble gas. "Argon" comes from Greek "Argon", neuter of "argos" meaning lazy , idle or inactive. Argon recieved this name because of its chemical inactivity.
Argon NX is an immutable payload which is injected to your Nintendo Switch via Fusee Gelee exploit.
The purpose of Argon NX is to stay immutable, so you can always inject it, without caring about other payloads getting updated (Always use ArgonNX for TegraSmash, TegraGUI, TrinkedM0...).
When Argon NX is injected, Argon NX will list all payloads located at argon/payloads
, and you will be able to select one of them to launch it.
Autolaunch Payload:
If the file "autolaunch.bin" (your payload) is in the "argon" folder, this payload should start. (Volume -) hold during the payload run, starts ArgonNX-SE...
ArgonNX will list all the payloads located at argon/payloads
, so you can select one of them to launch it.
- Customize payloads' logos. Logos must be smaller or equal than 280x280 (See About BMP format section). Example:
argon
├───logos
│ fusee-primary.bmp # Logo for fusee-primary.bin payload
│ ReiNX.bmp # Logo for ReiNX.bin payload
│
└───payloads
fusee-primary.bin
ReiNX.bin
hekate.bin # Will be rendered using default logo
- Custom backgrounds can be added by placing
background.bmp
file insideargon
directory. The background must be smaller or equal than 1280x720. - Take screenshots to share your ArgonNX gui. To capture ArgonNX screen tap anywhere with three fingers or use Capture Button on Joycon.
- Touch support. Thanks to @pixel-stuck
- Simple tools.

- Hardware info Page
- Reload Menü
- Autolaunch Payload: If the file "autolaunch.bin" (your payload) is in the "argon" folder, this payload should start. (Volume -) hold during the payload run, starts ArgonNX-SE...
- Update SX removed
- Added Filemanager for Argon and Emunandswitcher
- Added Reboot Menu with Power Button
Key assignment usage Filemanager:
- Touch screen as usual
- Joycon Mouse, A = Enter folder / Choose Buttons, B = Back Folder, X = Close Window
- Joypad up / down Filelist navigation, A = Enter folder, B = Back Folder, X = Close Window
- Update SX entfernt
- Filemanager für Argon und Emunandswitcher hinzugefügt
- Reboot Menu mit Power Button hinzugefügt
Tastenbelegung Bedienung Filemanager:
- Touch screen wie gewohnt
- Joycon Mouse, A = Eingang Ordner / Button wählen, B = Ordner zurück, X = Fenster schliessen
- Joypad up / down Dateiliste navigation, A = Eingang Ordner, B = Ordner zurück, X = Fenster schliessen
- Build with newest hekate HW Libs 5.5.7
- Some Buttons Theme fix
- Fixed a Error after autoclosing a window with X Button (Close Filemanager and other Windows)
The only format supported is BMP 32 bit ARGB color. ArgonNX recommends using a solid background without alpha channel (alpha channel set to 0xFF). Payloads' logos support alpha channel.
ArgonNX provides a useful Command Line Interface (CLI) to create new logos and backgrounds for your payloads using a jpg or png images.
The Argon CLI is written in Python. To install python follow the instructions listed here. Once you have python3 installed just type the following commands (These will install the requirements for running the CLI):
$ cd scripts
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev
If you are using Windows visit Wand's installation page and follow the steps to install libmagikcwand on Windows.
To generate a new logo use the following command.
$ cd scripts
$ python argon.py img-to-logo <path-to-png-jpg-img>
To generate a new background use the following command.
$ cd scripts
$ python argon.py generate-background <path-to-png-jpg-img>
The CLI stores the outputs of the commands at the recently created (also by the CLI) sd-files/argon
directory (This directory simulates an sd-card argon structure).
To learn more about the CLI options type:
$ python argon.py --help
These images were captured with the screenshot feature.
As you can see in the pictures, payloads are displayed in groups of 8 and each group is displayed in a different payloads tab. Maximum 16 Payloads, Two Tabs...
You can find the logos used in the pictures inside this directory and backgrounds here. And in the Release files.

ArgonNX can use minerva training cell to improve performance.
The use of minerva is optional but recommended. To use minerva just place the compiled minerva.bso
inside argon/sys
. The directory argon/sys
with minerva, is included in sd-files.zip
in the release section.
To learn more about Minerva Training Cell check its official repo.
This payload will chainload any CFW or payload.
