Hacking RELEASE Kosmos - A Hekate CFW-package

[charlieb]

weird, tom will have to diff it because he reported interpolating the 1.0.0 fix to hbmenu the same day raj committed it.

Perhaps he reverted the commit that fixed it. In any case 100% not working and latest build from master that Rajkosoto shared worked.

The only other explanation is I messed up but i'll test that theory by using a fresh SD card and try the 521 files again, could be I had an old version but I dont think that happened.

I'll be back home for 2 days soon so I'll try to add these issues in v6:
#32 - Creport
#29 - PM
#25 - Signature Patches
#22 - ReiNX

and hopefully also get a poc script for the modular system done and help testing HBL starting only on pressing a button (I can't say if v6 is really going to have it)

Other changes will include:

- Updating Atmosphere
- Updating the hbmenu fork
- Some other stuff maybe

And don't forget tomger's ini

@tomGER the version of homebrew menu in you 521 zip is too old. Doesn't work on 1.0.0 the icons look all the same and the homebrew crash. @rajkosoto was kind enough to share a precompiled version from master and that works fine.

I'm 100% certain I'm using his fork ... ?

So thought I, rajkosto send me the link and I instantly pulled his commits into the fork

I owe you an apology. I just tried it in a new card and its working, so the mistake is mine.

There are a lot of modified versions of this pack going around, I'm not connected, responsible or justifiable for the content of those modifications. ​

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
-EdiZon
-Sys-FTPD

How to use:

1. Download Hekate
2. Download the latest release and extract it to the root of your Switch SD card
3. Start hekate through e.g. Fusée Gelée, TegraRcmSmash or WebCFWLoader
4. ???
5. Profit!

The Signature patch allows us to run unsigned games right?

 

[mariogamer]

If anyone wants their album, they can use this loader . It loads album by default but if R is pressed, it loads the hb menu.

There is an issue already for this on github. It will probably be added in shortly.

(if anyone believes this will brick their switch, here are the changes that you can compile: https://github.com/mariogamer2/Atmosphere )

Are the patches that hekate applies now the same as in tinfoils patch repo?

Yes, if you use the payload that comes with this pack

 

[raphamotta]

Did you add exFAT support for older FW like 4.1 in this new release?

 

[mariogamer]

The PR is done @tomGER .

As I said in it, would you mind if I delete current ReiNX? It is in no way different from atmosphere.
