Kosmos 12.0.0 released, adds hid-mitm and hot sysmodule loading/unloading

Now that April Fools is over, @tomGER and the rest of the AtlasNX team (@WerWolv, @jakibaki , @noahc3 , @StevenMattera and Shchmue) have released the real version 12.0.0 of their Switch all-in-one CFW package!

If you've been keeping yourself up to date with the latest developments then you may already know one of the key additions packed with this release, hid-mitm, however there are also some other features you may find interesting. Starting from the one I've just mentioned, hid-mitm is a newly developed system module which allows you to use third-party controllers (for example DualShock 3/4, XBOX 360, etc) on your console. It works by using a companion Android/iOS/PC (experimental) and redirecting the input to your Switch. The Kosmos Toolbox has been updated to support button remapping aswell. On a last note, while the developer recommends to use hid-mitm via Kosmos, it should also work fine under stock Atmosphère (and there is a chance it'll also run using ReiNX, but there is no official support for it).

The second highlighted feature is hot system module loading and unloading: instead of rebooting the console, you'll be able to use the Toolbox to load or unload any system module found on the microSD card. Speaking about the Toolbox, it also supports rebooting to a specific Hekate payload via a dedicated menu now.

There new version also uses Atmosphère to 0.8.6, updates Goldleaf and sys-ftpd to the latest version, fixes a variety of bugfixes and also adds sys-clk to the list of included homebrew apps.

For the more curious readers, the full changelog is available down below:
General
  • Updated Atmosphere to 0.8.6
    • The default behavior for loader's HBL support was changed.
      • Instead of launching HBL when album is launched without R held, loader now launches HBL when album or any game is launched with R held.
    • Many other critical bugfixes and feature additions
  • Switched to NSP sysmodules instead of the old KIP format
  • Updated sys-ftpd to allow for authenticated connections
  • Added the sys-clk sysmodule for overclocking
  • Updated Goldleaf and the Homebrew Appstore
  • This adds 7.x support to Goldleaf among other things
  • Added fusee-primary payload as a bootable option
  • Updated ES-Patches
But wait. THERE'S MORE!

Update of the Kosmos Toolbox!
After months of teasing and lots of testing the Kosmos-Toolbox is finally ready for you to use. Featuring the worlds first sysmodule hotloading and much much more!

New Features
  • Hot loading and unloading of sysmodules
    • This means no more annoying reboots just to enable overclocking or the FTP server!
    • Fully adaptable for additional sysmodules
  • Reboot2Hekate
    • Ever been annoyed about how long it takes to launch Lakka or to start a NAND backup? We too. Reboot2Hekate allows you to reboot directly into any Hekate profile you have installed on your system or into the Hekate menu itself with the click of a button.
  • HID-mitm input configuration
    • The second really big feature of Kosmos v12 is the release of jakibaki's hid-mitm. For ease of use the latest Toolbox release introduces a new interface to easily rebind any button to another!
  • Bug fixes
    • We heard you and fixed the annoying override-key rebind bug!
    • Fully compatible with the latest Atmosphère 0.8.6 changes!
Release of hid-mitm!
With this latest release we're bringing you a new and awesome custom sysmodule called hid-mitm. Jakibaki has been hard at work to implement this and it's finally ready.

Introducing a way to remap all joycon and controller buttons PLUS using ANY other of your controllers like the XBOX One or Dualshock controller with your Nintendo Switch! To do this we also released a Android and iOS app that connects to your Controller and sends the data over to your Console
You can find more info about this sysmodule at https://github.com/jakibaki/hid-mitm/blob/master/README.md

Please not that this is in beta
That does not mean it hasn't been vetted at all, so give it a shot today!

I'm not sure how well it will work for me. My DS4 has loads of input lag on Android. Hopefully the experimental PC version works well
You most likely need root and the Sixaxis app installed...

On my Nvidia Shield tablet I didnt root it, but I used other Bluetooth management app and changed some setting and the DS4 works without lag, however it sometimes take more than 1 time connecting until it stay connected without any lag... Without using the Bluetooth app, the controller only works until like 30 seconds then its a HUGE input lag.

But anyway I wanted is something that could pair directly to Nintendo Switch, I wish they hacked Xone bluetooth controller FW for NS ;) (but no one seems to care, they make expensive dongles instead that need to be connected via USB-C which is garbage for portable)... And the wireless one that attach to Xone controller is very expensive and comes with a shitty built-in battery which is far worse than my AA batteries.

"The way that custom gamepads work with hid-mitm is not by directly connecting the gamepad to your switch but by connecting your gamepad to your phone (and experimentally pc) and then running the hid-mitm app which then in turn sends the input to your switch which will recognize it as an additional pro-controller."

This is garbage. Using another device as a gamepad proxy is such a horrible hack.

April Fool's is the BEST time to release something, because when it's over, the release is usually legit. And you can always hide an Easter egg

PRs are welcome if you want to fix the "problem" instead of just insulting other peoples work ;)

I can't get the HBL menu to load at all. I'm running a game with R held and it just says "The software was closed because an error occurred." I've tried with multiple games. If I try running it via album with R held I get error code 2168-0001 (0x2a8) and have to reboot. Do I need to do anything else to make this work?

Oh also to mention the graphics which are supposed to show up on boot are all glitched, I can see about a third of the background and the rest is a mess of yellow lines.

I've done this in the past, but sadly there's no root method for my current phone. All I can do is hope PC works well or wait it out until a proper hid to vpad clone comes to Switch.

    So true
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.
