Hacking RELEASE Kosmos - A Hekate CFW-package

[Cobra800089]

Quick question, hoping someone can clarify for me. This seems to imply that the appstore works on 5.x but from what I've read it requires 3.0.0 FW. Do we still need to have 3.0.0 for the appstore or does it indeed work on 5.x?

Thanks!

Edit: NVM answered my own question. This does indeed work on 5.x (at least 5.0.2 for me), you just have to turn on your wifi so it can download the needed stuff.

Yeah, it doesn't work all the time and crashing is normal - Just retry

Hi
Don't know if anyone mentioned this but the hbmenu included does not support touch hence not the latest one. Maybe you could edit the zip file and include that one @tomGER?

It does support touch with the newest update ._. Make sure you're on v1.2

EDIT: Rechecked, yup it does

Hmmm it didn't work for me either? I'm on v2.0?

Try deleting the hblauncher.nro on your root and adding the v1.2 launcher again - I'm 100% sure that it is the v2.1 Homebrew Touchscreen Supported Launcher

EDIT: Asked ReSwitched users, they had it too - Must be something on your side

uh...what? which 3rd option?

 

[tomGER]

uh...what? which 3rd option?

Click on "Launch" in Hekate, you'll be greeted by 3 different launch options:

Stock

CFW

Clear Logs <- Select that one


If that's not the case then make sure that you have actually installed it by deleting everything except your /Nintendo/ and /switch/ folder and drop the files of the newest Github Release onto your SD again

 

[IceTeaX]

A new version (with the newest builds) of SDfiles.zip since the version people are using is pretty old and doesn't support 5.1.
It's also easier to find updated files since I'll hopefully always update the GitHub with the newest builds!

I DID NOT MAKE ANY OF THESE, I JUST COMPILED THEM

So why the new release are you asking yourself? It's fairly simple, the SDfiles.zip that came with Hekate-5.x is so old that people are reporting a lot of problems that have already been fixed and that is kinda sad since this problem is actually fixable by providing a place where you can be sure that you're downloading the latest builds and don't encounter old problems.

Works on ALL current firmwares

Featuring:

-Parts of Atmosphere
-Homebrew Menu
-Homebrew Loader
-nx-dreport (as a third launch option in hekate to clear logs)
-AppstoreNX
-Gag-Order

How to use:

1. Download the newest hekate build
2. Put the content of the ZIP onto the root of your SD
3. Start the hekate payload via your launcher of choice
4. Success

Does Hekate work with exFat?

Does Hekate work with exFat?

Same here, I'm on 5.1.0 hbmenu works fine but nothing seems to be displayed (Appstore or homebrews) with my exFAT sd card..

Switch's filesystem service has this bug since ever.

Connect your sd card to a windows PC and select everything inside.
Right click, properties, advanced, disable "folder/file is ready for archiving". Done.

[The3rdknuckles]

Yup, you sadly have to since the Switch doesn't allow you to take the SD out while booted

Is Gag-Order neccessary for 1.0?!
