Hacking Atmosphere-NX - Custom Firmware in development by SciresM

[impeeza]

Nope it's back since 20.0

No is not!

The problem what arose on FW 20 (really was since FW 18 but Atmosphère had some palliatives for it) is the Battery drain and console warming while sleep, and is because you need to accept a new Eula which can not be done on offline *Nands, more information on:

hey for the second solution, i dont have system_ini in my config file, but it does in config_templates folder. is it the same? or i have to make on on config folder?

and on system_ini on config folder, every row has ";" on the first word, do have to erase it or no?

Read the Atmosphère documentation on the github.

the config_templates folder as the name tell you ARE TEMPLATES. you copy the template to the config folder, and edit it to the values you need.

The values indicated :

[ns.notification]
enable_download_task_list = u8!0x0
enable_download_ticket = u8!0x0...

But doing this doesn't also apply to CFW on eMMC?

Setups like this always feels kinda janky as atsmophere doesn't support separated instances for (one or more) emuMMC and eMMC.

Was memory reduced even more on 21.0.0?

guys i updated my OLED thinking it was a minor update, but....... i cant access official firmware now, even in Recovery mode!
still i can boot into hekate, what is happening?

 

[Bigdrago]

Just updated hekate and then stock to 21.0 so the kids could play stock games.
I didnt know this would affect cfw. Keep getting failed to match warmboot with fuses etc when booting cfw.
I have updated syspatch to 1.5.7 etc with no luck.

Any ideas or do I have to wait until atmosphere is updated?

are you able to read?

NEVER UPGRADE YOUR FIRMWARE UNTIL A ATMOSPHÈRE VERSION SUPPORTING THAT FIRMWARE IS RELEASED.

you can boot into OFW of wait.

@impeeza this is what i always write too: don't rush to update the OFW before the new version of Atmosphere comes out.

Those that always rush to update will never learn.

I'm still on 19.01 firmware and wondered if SAK (Swiss Army Knife) will work for 20.x.0 titles, if I patch NSP's for lower firmware? I don't want to update to 20.x.0. Thanks

Silly move. You will have to wait now for atmosphere update now.

There is only so much you can patched for games eventually you will have to update to run game, it is based on what SDK version the content was developed under.

It is true patching will only work until some point, you can use Sphaira to patch games while installing.

Just a dumb question which the answer will probably be "No", but once the system has downloaded the firmware, is there any tool that I can use that will prevent the installation of that said firmware until I'm ready to do so or do I just need to keep being careful and chose "Start Software" and then press "A" ?

ha ha ha, you can use Goldleaf, sphaira or boot into safe mode to remove downloaded and temporal upgrade files.

annnnnnd and I went headed and pressed "A" instead of choosing "Start Software". Well, no more grinding on Legends Z-A for a while. Thanks anyway.
