Is there any way to access Nyx from old-skool hekate? Let's say i boot the switch without SD card, and insert it later. Is it possible to "upgrade" the GUI?

Minor other thing but probably related: The warning that the sleep mode library is missing does not go away after inserting the SD card.
yeah, that's intentional. the only way without re-injecting the payload would be to chainload hekate again through the payloads menu

How can I backup and restore an Emunand partition? And can I create emunand from my nand backup (I don't see any option to do so)

Already there. I just get a black screen after pushing the payload.

make sure you have it in the right spot and filename is correct in the config. plus sometimes I get kosmos bootsplash then back to the menu or it can even power off in which u just try again

I had to remove the line "kip1patch=nosigchk" out of hekate_ipl.ini wherever it appeared otherwise I got a black screen error with "Failed to apply nosigchk" in bright red, but after removing this line I can boot normally.

Is this line even needed for anything anymore? I copied it at some point to my ini file and it's never caused any trouble until now. Using latest Hekate release with Atmo 0.10.1

I am able to launch latest fusee-primary.bin for atmosphere the latest version as well. I want to use hekate for lakka and I use hekate_ctcaer_5.1.1.bin and nothing is on my Nintendo Switch.. Just black. I go back to fusee-primary.bin and it boots atmosphere just fine.

Older Hekate works fine. Why ? Am I doing something wrong?

There was a warning with the new hekate version that you need to replace its files in the bootloader folder on your SD card with the new versions.

I have the same error like you, can you tell me what to do to fix it, thank you.

I deleted Hekate folder and everything came with hekate and drag and drop a brand new folder with everything that Hekate came with. And get brand new Hekate payload as well and it works. Weird.

I cant find this background.bmp in the github repo, can someone share it?

same I want it too

Now I'll be real with you guys, I don't have the image (they likely can't have the image in the release because they didn't make it, and they don't have the authors permission to distribute in a GLP license...)

BUTTTTT.....

I have something that's pretty close and looks pretty good at the same time. It's a slight edit from the animus area in AC: Black Flag.

If you do want to use it, the background.bmp is attached. Drop it into /bootloader/res/ When you boot into hekate it'll pop up.

Edit: Let's not talk about the 66.6% charge. No coincidences.

Edit2: Made a mockup of how it looks so you don't have to look at my horrible picture.

I wanted the background too, so I found the stock image that was used and edited it so the colors are similar.

Here's a preview:

Hey guys, can someone please tell me where I have to put the fusee-primary.bin file of atmosphere on my SD card?
Right now I have placed it to SD:/bootloader/payloads and I am able to start it, but I have to navigate to Payloads in order to launch it instead of the Launch button.

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
