Thank you very much and lastly is my switch compatible with all payloads (except for the cfw ones until you do the chainload as you said) that unpatched eristas can run like lockpick, incognito etc. or just some specific ones?
Payloads will work regardless of what the Switch model is. The only difference is the method used to send the payload. Such as in your case, using the reboot-to-payload feature in SX OS to launch Hekate, and load another payload from there.
Soo i've been away from switch modding for about a year now.
I got back and installed sx os 3.04 and updated os 1.10
Is soft boot finally a thing?
I can restart my switch now without having to put dongle in anymore
Yes, Atmosphere introduced the option to reboot back into CFW without jumping through hoops. SX OS followed suit shortly after.
Fairly certain this has been asked a thousand times but I simply can't see or find a direct answer for this.
I currently have a Mariko Switch running 10.1.0 with SX Core. Really want to move onto Atmospheré as sys-modules plugins a very limited with SX OS.
So can I actually do this? I don't mind have to switch between payloads to do so. Anyone have a break down if this is possible, and if it is. How complex is the process.
Yes, you'll need to chainload via Hekate, because SX OS blocks the ability to load any CFW other than itself, but doesn't block Hekate (it being a bootloader rather than CFW, I suppose). You can set up Hekate's payload as the "reboot-to-payload" option in SX OS first, then launch it, and from there launch Atmosphere (recommended payload is "fusee-primary.bin"). It takes some configuration but it's not difficult to do.
So I'm working with SXOS at the moment. And only worked with SXOS. But as I'm running into some issues regarding homebrew I'm thinking to switch to atmosphere.
But a few questions:
1. Is EmuNAND the same on atmosphere which leaves a "completely" clean SysNAND.
2. On SXOS EmuNAND I run stealth+90DNS+Incognito. Atmosphere doesnt have stealth but is 90DNS and Incognito on atmosphere as "safe" without stealth. (And yes ofcourse safe is a big word. Don't really care for a ban but want to postpone it as long as possible
)
3. XCI isn't a thing in atmosphere I believe. But do NSP's work the same as on SXOS. I mostly install them from my NAS server directly on the Switch.
4. Any reason to stay on SXOS?
1. EmuNAND is essentially the same regardless of firmware, iirc. The only differences being are that SX OS offers a built-in "stealth mode" toggle to lessen the risk of ban (and how effective it actually is, I don't know), as well as XCI support. A "clean" sysNAND is subjective. If you've left it untouched by homebrew from the start, then yes. It's still "clean," as you say. However, if you choose to switch to Atmosphere, you may have to start fresh, mainly due to XCI and homebrew incompatibilities. I'm not sure if SX OS's emuNAND is even compatible with Atmosphere. But if the necessity arises, Hekate can assist in that regard.
2. Correct on both counts. That is the way to go with ATmosphere, though once Incognito is setup, there's really no need for 90DNS. Also, yes, "safe" is kinda pushing it, because running
any kind of unsigned code or homebrew on a Switch WILL get you a ban, it's just honestly a matter of time (since they seem to mass-ban in "waves").
3.Correct, XCIs are NOT compatible with any other CFW besides SX OS. And tbh even some NSPs may not work with Atmosphere if they were installed under SX OS. Not sure why. *shrug*
4. In my opinion, no. If you ask the community at large, they will tend to agree. SX OS is not considered a "good" CFW, for various reasons, one being the homebrew incompatibility mentioned before.
Should also clarify my Switch model is HAC-001 (-01). Can this process still be done?
Yes. Provided that you have a way to chainload payloads via Hekate (which you do with SX OS, regardless of model revision).
I have just gotten a switch with fw 4.1.0. I would like to hack it and be able to play online. I saw a tutorial about setting up two emummc's and was wondering what I should do before setting up the emummc's. Should I download caffeine to then run hekate?
Edit: I do not want to plug in my switch to my computer everytime I power it on, that is why I want caffeine.
I'm not very familiar with Caffeine but from what I know it's unable to load any payloads from RCM (despite being able to still boot into RCM). And be forewarned, you should NEVER access any online features on sysNAND, let alone set up an internet configuration, without taking proper precautions first. The console will likely forever nag you to update, which will thus patch the browser and prevent CFW access. There's no way to remove this "supernag" on a ipatched system. So be very careful. And backing up your NAND is not only recommended, but
mandatory. Honestly should be regardless of CFW used.
Continuing on, if I'm correct in assuming that your console is indeed ipatched, you should follow this guide to set things up.
https://switch.homebrew.guide/hacking/caffeine/forewarning.html
I linked it to the page before the actual setup because I cannot stress how important it is to
block Nintendo's servers before connecting to the internet (or even proceeding with this process). Be sure to read everything at least once before starting the process.
I'm not sure if plugging your Switch into your PC is necessary to cold boot after PegaScape is setup, but you can restart the Switch directly into Atmosphere, at the very least.
