Three files, one emulator
Lichii opens a Switch 2 game only when all three are in place and their versions match.
prod.keys
Console keys. Every Switch 2 game, update and firmware file is encrypted with them.
title.keys
Per-game keys for dumps that ship without their ticket. They come in the same ZIP as prod.keys.
Firmware
Version 22.5.0 matches the newest keys. Firmware 23.0.1 is out too.
The first error, and its fix
The most common first-launch message in Lichii is a folder problem, not a broken emulator.
Before
Encryption keys are missing.
Lichii found no prod.keys in its keys folder, so it lists games by file name and refuses to start them.
After
- Open Tools, then Install Decryption Keys.
- Pick prod.keys from the ZIP.
- Install firmware 22.5.0 from its ZIP.
- Restart Lichii.
Where the files go
Lichii keeps Eden’s data folder, so keys installed for Eden already count.
| Platform | Keys folder | Start Lichii with |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | %APPDATA%\eden\keys | lichii.exe and the Visual C++ Redistributable |
| Windows, portable | user\keys next to the program | A folder named user beside lichii.exe |
| Linux | ~/.local/share/eden/keys | The AppImage |
| Steam Deck | ~/.local/share/eden/keys | The AppImage in Desktop Mode |

Switch 2 prod keys and firmware, explained
What are Switch 2 prod keys?
Switch 2 prod keys are the production decryption keys of the Nintendo Switch 2, saved as a text file named prod.keys. Every Switch 2 game, update and firmware title is encrypted, and an emulator reads these keys to decrypt them. Switch 2 prod keys are also called Lichii prod keys, because Lichii is the emulator that loads them.
What are Switch 2 title keys?
Title keys are per-game keys for content distributed with a ticket. They come in the same ZIP as prod.keys, and Lichii needs title keys only when a dump lacks its ticket.
What is Switch 2 firmware?
Switch 2 firmware is the console’s system software. The newest version is 23.0.1, released on 30 September 2026. Lichii installs Switch 2 firmware so games find the fonts, applets and modules they call.
What is Lichii?
Lichii is an experimental, open-source Switch and Switch 2 emulator forked from Eden and yuzu. Its newest release is build 117. The Lichii emulator hub covers its download, setup and folders, and prod keys for other Switch emulators covers Eden, Ryujinx and Yuzu.
Why must keys and firmware match?
Each system update can add a key generation. Keys older than the firmware cannot decrypt it, which causes most Lichii keys and firmware errors. The safe rule: keys from the same update as the firmware, or newer.
Are the downloads safe?
Key files are plain text and firmware is a ZIP of NCA files; neither can run code. How to check a download lists the red flags, and Switch 2 keys and firmware explained covers the background.
Firmware 23.0.1
New Switch 2 update? The files follow.
Keys, firmware and every guide on this site are updated when Nintendo ships a system update or Lichii ships a build.
