Hacking Question SXOS Refugee - Some questions.

[VOFluff]

So with the news about the SXOS Team, I am looking to move across to Atmosphere, but I have some questions - Im sure this could be helpful as some quick information to others in the same situation too:

Can we use our existing SXOS Emunand with Atmosphere, or do all games/saves need backing up and restoring into a new Emunand made for Atmosphere?

Is there any way to use an SX Pro Dongle to boot Atmosphere, or are we stuck with PC/Android methods untill we pick up generic payload injectors?

Is there anything in addition that users will need to take into consideration when using Atmos vs SXOS, other than the obvious no XCI loading/USB support.

Thanks to anyone who can answer!

SXOS has SX Loader which is designed to chain boot a payload.bin on the switch's microsd card. You can use that until you can get a more appropriate dongle.

Dont go to atmosphere just stay on SXOS if you dont hear anything in a month then move over.

Lol there is no loyalty lets just say Atmosphere stopped support sigpatches and if SXOS wasn't sued people would jump to SXOS to continue to play pirate games. To be honest with you I have Atmosphere and SXOS and they kinda run the same to me...

Then again I can't remember the last time I actually played my switch lol

I switched myself after recent news. I started using Atmo from time to time after getting my SX because HB support was always better there, and knew I'd be making the switch eventually... This gave me a reason.

Anyhow, you can use your JIG and dongle yes, that's what I am doing to boot fusee-primary now.
You need to make a modified Boot.dat using this Python script; https://github.com/HunterKing/TX-Custom-Boot or you can use; https://sx-boot-dat-creator.herokuapp.com/ And replace the SX OS original boot.dat. If you want to boot Hekate, for example, name it payload.bin and use the Python script or use the site. What I did is I used fusee-primary.bin(Did not want to boot through Hekate), and it made the "Boot.dat" to use with the SX dongle.

edit;
Also yes, I know there's time, SX OS still works for now and there is no reason to switch so quickly but I wanted to get myself more familiar with Atmo now instead of later when it's my only option.
