Hacking Atmosphere-NX - Custom Firmware in development by SciresM

[laz305]

That sounds more like a worn battery, rather than the known drain issue. The latter happens on standby while a network is connected.

no yeah I'm just talking about standby. cuz like at 100% i'll play for 1hr it goes to 90% i put it sleep mode and come back it's at 15%

thanks but wouldn't it be easier to just attach the ini file? I have no idea if I am doing it right cuz what's already on there looks nothing like what you are telling me to add and then what I add is blue ink and what was there already is in green ink........

Looks like you used the unmodified ini file from the config_templates folder. Leave that one as is. They are just templates to go by and any changes do not have any effect in that folder. Everything is green because you notice the ";" next to that line indicating the setting is not active. Create a new system_settings.ini file and place it in the config folder. Not the config_templates folder. Then paste what was given to you into that new file. If one already exists in that location, then just add the lines to it. But there shouldn't be one there unless you already made one with changes prior to now.

Instead of the ini file you have a couple of other choices. Put your switch in airplane mode before you put it in standby, or create an entirely new emuMMC from scratch after you have already linked an nnid. Perhaps linalho fixes it too, but I can't remember for sure.

As far as I can see, seems like we kept the ~14Mb available from 20+ in the 21 FW.

I checked in the ultrahand overlay that can display how many ram is used by current loaded custom sysmodules and what remains free. When adding values it's about 14Mb

Which overlay is that? I'd like to use it.

what's the newest firmware we need to be on for full compatibility for most/all games?

what's the newest firmware we need to be on for full compatibility for most/all games?

20.0.1

But you can get along even with 19.5.0 installing the games using awooinstaller and replacing the minimun fw requirement.

21.01 works perfectly fine! There might be a few games you might have to reinstall as .nsp's because I had to redo about 3 to 4 games with I updated, it was odd.

They were mega XCI's, I had to go back and install the parts individually the correct way with the updates.
Meaning Game NSP first, Update second, and DLC last.

And now they work like normal again.

21.01 is the newest firmware out? And is there any important homebrew that is broken?

Update Hekate, Atmosphere, and all homebrew that you use.

ONLY UPDATE YOUR CONSOLE TO 2x.x.x IF ALL THE HOMEBREW YOU USE IS UPGRADED

Sometimes you need to upgrade your console, upgrade the firmware or upgrade Atmosphère, using the @l7777 's guide (https://gbatemp.net/threads/updating-hekate-atmosphere-and-hos.631739/) as base I hope to create a list of necessary steps to successful upgrade your console.

This guide uses Hekate, if you don't want to use Hekate skip the steps about it. You may loose some features.

you need to have syspatch installed and for the warning yes you will probably need to update the fw in your emmunand

 

[miola]

any hints where to get one is allowed.

I accidentally updated the firmware to 21.0.1, and wanted to downgrade the Switch back to 20.5 using Dawnbreak. After wiping the switch via TegraExplorer's wipe script, I had a switch on 20.5, but with the appropriate fuse burnt. If you get the error message, update it again to 21.0.1 and it's appropriate version of Atmosphere, get the warmboot file, and then downgrade down again. As long as a legit warmboot file is installed, your sleep function will still work.
