OP
I intend to use Atmosphere because it supports sys-modules which allows for overclocking.

I wouldn't say a definite no.

It really depends on SciresM or anyone with a SX Core/Lite and the knowledge to fork Atmosphere and make it work with the modchip.

TX has already stated that you don't need to use SX OS exclusively, although right now it's the only option until someone else ports a different CFW for SX.

Not yet, Atmosphere has yet to be updated for the exploit that is being used.
But once that happens, there should be no reason to not being able to use AMS with a modchip.

Can you change the payload the SX Core/Lite injects? I assumed it just came with SX loader installed and you wouldn't be able to change that. I know you can launch third party payloads from the SX Loader's Options section but I just get a black screen when attempting to load fuse or hekate that way.

TX is not preventing you to run whatever you want, so in theory, what I heard is that you can change payloads, but they need to be compiled for Mariko/Lite consoles equipped with SX. And most of them aren't. So the answer would be: not yet. Maybe if devs get their hands on modded consoles and want to make their software work with SX.

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

They seem to prevent you from loading fuse or hekate from the SX loader. But I guess if Atmosphere or Hekate creates a version that can be loaded via a boot.dat file then perhaps it would work.

Why can't you just put the SX Gear boot.dat file on the root of SD Card with Hekate renamed to payload.bin? Shouldn't that result in the Switch booting into Hekate from where we can then boot into Atmosphere?

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
