Hacking Atmosphere-NX - Custom Firmware in development by SciresM

[designgears]

Whoever in ReSwitched discord I helped get their switch booting again, glad I could help out! Unfortunately, I was banned because mentioning "other opensource cfw" (ReiNX in this case) is apparently considered piracy.

#8 Trying to evade, look for loopholes, or stay borderline within the rules will be treated as breaking them.
#9 Absolutely no piracy. There is a zero-tolerance policy and we will enforce this strictly and swiftly.

On that note, @SciresM Atmosphere is unable to boot in certain circumstances where ReiNX can and even corrects the issue so that Atmosphere can boot. Downgrading with ChoiDour (not homebrew NX version) causes it, and fake linking an account causes it.

I would post it on a github issue, but mentioning things ReSwitched views as piracy gets closed and ignored.

While trieng to boot cfw or even ofw it says:

"found pkg1 ('20190314172056')" and then: Unkown pkg1 version failed to launch firmware.

sounds like an updated boot0/1

Hi, I am trying to compile the current Atmosphere (master) but I am hitting this error:

MYPATH/Atmosphere/stratosphere/loader/source/ldr_nso.cpp:278:9: error: 'sha256CalculateHash' was not declared in this scope

I understand Atmos switched to libnx's implementation of SHA256 operations and my build is not finding the associated function. I have successfully complied the latest libnx and I have edited Atmos's makefile to include my libnx build (results in compiling with -IMYPATH/Atmosphere/stratosphere/loader/../../../libnx/nx//include).

That path contains switch.h, which in turn includes switch/crypto/sha256.h, which defines the sha256CalculateHash function, which is what is causing the build error. I am not a huge expert of compilers, but I can't see what's wrong/missing. Any tips? Thanks in advance!

@SciresM should you ever see this...

You need to make install the libnx master
https://github.com/switchbrew/libnx

Or checkout atmos 0.8.7 tag and compile from there with current libnx.

Brilliant, thanks! Installing libnx did the trick. My Atmos doesn't work, but still I'm happy. ;]

If I downgrade to 6.x or 4.x using my nand backup, will I lose all of my save file progress and the games installed on nand?

 

[Fredfrog6]

When will an update for Atmosphere be released that allows for cfw support on 8.0?

Later today, apparently.

You'll lose both but you can backup/restore your saves with Checkpoint.

Curious.. I don't need to restore my backup but if you want to restore your backup.. You must be on fat32 to do this ?

Mine is formatted fat32 but installed exfat on ChoiNX.

 

[designgears]

0.8.8 with 8.0.0 support!

Happy June 15th!

Anybody?

0.8.8 with 8.0.0 support!

https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases/tag/0.8.8

Very good but I will stay with 3.0.0 update to 7.0.1 with ChoiNX for now.

Anybody?

You can restore NAND fat32 or exfat in releases 4.9+

• Support for split files restore Thanks to @emvym3two
  You can now restore using parts or FAT32. The only condition it that all parts must be in the sd card.
  It protects from fake sd cards, bad sectors and frequent I/O corruption. Aka, ~100% of cases.

I believe NXManager can also do this.

I already joiner them to one file. rawnand.bin. Is it fine to use for fat32 or exfat?

Fat32 has a max file size of 4GB

 

[spotanjo3]

Fat32 has a max file size of 4GB

So I should use other SD for exfat only to restore one file rawnand.bin ? Correct?
