If additional KIPs are needed other than OFW's, you can define them with `kip1` key. No kip should be used that relies on Atmosphère patching, because it will hang.

| icon={SD path} | Force Nyx to use the icon defined here. If this is not found, it will check for a bmp named as the boot entry ([Test 2] -> `bootloader/res/Test 2.bmp`). Otherwise default will be used. |

You can define `kip1` to load an extra kip or many via the wildcard (`/*`) usage.
**Warning**: Careful when you define *fss0 core* kips when using `fss0` or the folder (when using `/*`) includes them.
This is in case the kips are incompatible between them. If compatible, you can override `fss0` kips with no issues (useful for testing with intermediate kip changes).
This is in case the kips are incompatible between them. If compatible, you can override `fss0` kips with no issues (useful for testing with intermediate kip changes). In such cases, the `kip1` line must be under `fss0` line.
