Hacking Atmosphere-NX - Custom Firmware in development by SciresM

[James310]

just want to ask question, its been a year since switch release, i just want to ask whats the most common firmware im going to get if i bought a switch today? thanks...

All current fw have a Exploit already coming soon so might as well get one now and do the dns trick to block a 5.0 update

Really already a year? How time floats.

 

[Chrona]

In light of the recent bans on the 3DS, am I the only one weary of what may happen on the Switch?

Not like it really matters, online is becoming paid soon and you should never pay for online

Looks like he just pushed some code up to his repo.

I'll be pushing code pretty regularly -- it'll be a while before anything is usable, though.

Will work up to 4.1.0 right?

Eventually, don't expect it soon for 4.1.0 but yeah.

I just really want to mod CJ in Breath of the wild and Sonic in Mario Kart

Is it still safe to sit on my 2.0 firmware (can always upgrade to 3.0 with a game title) or should I update to 4.1.0 immediately before this is patched?

Tell that to the ISP.

Ahh, I hadn't planned on making a thread about this.

Anyway, yes, my focus will be shifting towards spending all my time working on Atmosphere until it's usable (with a diversion to get a publically usable jamais vu PoC once some of the basic building blocks are in place).

I've put up a roadmap in the issues/projects section -- all of my development will be open source and done via commits to that repo. I don't want a repeat of previous consoles where CFWs get worked on behind closed doors before their initial releases -- all of atmosphere's broken, WIP code will be available as it's written.

Looking forward to working on atmosphere

So I have a question about the way you're handling making everything public as you're developing it; What's about the possibilities of Nintendo keeping an eye on your progress and they try patching it as you develop it?

@SciresM

I know you talked about emunand a few months back, but I wonder, does this cfw solution you are working on involve an emunand, or a direct sysnand approach?

Either way, thanks for the effort

 

[Duhasst0]

Tell that to the ISP.

I would say more like paying for your internet twice, I have always had a bad taste in my mouth with paid online gaming services as such. I already pay for the internet, shouldn't have to pay for the online service to play with my friends if I can't go to their house.

Bans happened on the 3ds because of cias if you spoofed the home brew apps as an app on the 3ds you would be fine.

This is not exploit code, there's nothing to patch.

Perfect, I'll give than an extensive lead. Thanks for sharing the overall plan. I personally was hoping for an emunand approach, regardless of whether sysnand is possible or not.

2 more questions if I may:

- With emunand, I assume you could technically get that up to the latest fw. With sysnand on a lower fw, how would the fuse checks work? Do you plan on skipping them entirely? Or do you have something else in mind?

- Is coldboot in the scope of this? Or that would be a separate project?

Thanks again

Fuse checks are irrelevant -- they are checked only in package1loader, which should never execute once the system has booted.

Atmosphere will always simulate a coldboot, regardless of how it is launched -- and thus it should work with any coldboot exploits.

Thanks for the clarifications. Good luck on the project development

well have to see if theres no downside to modding your switch theres no reason to update i want to see if any one will get banned first.

people will get banned
we all know the ramifications of modding our systems
