Not sure how, but it doesn't work for me.

I'm have SX hidden partition emunand, maybe that's it?

Let me load it again and see what it loads. I have files based TX SX OS.

Edit: Its loading Sysnand even though I have a TX file based partition. I'm sure its just a setting. If you follow my steps yours should also be loading.

I followed the steps, I didn't change any settings. All downloaded fresh.

Boot0 error

Not sure why. You can also try retro loader.

So now, no more need to wait for SXOS update ? We are not stuck with SX os firmware ? even on Switch lite ?
We can use Atmos and SX lite chip ?

Ok so I figured out what was wrong.

I have SX Lite hidden partition emunand and used Choi to update my emunand partition. This corrupts the BOOT0/1 on emunand. So in order for Atmo to boot properly (which as of now requires using SX Gear), you have to backup the BOOT0/1 paritions from your sysnand (with the same firmware version) and then restore those to the emunand partition.

The problem is that I have no idea how to do that, lol.

You need to restore a mariko boot file backup - what firmware was it on?

Restored using Hekate from a backup of Boot0/1 Firmware 11.0.0 sysnand to the same firmware for my emunand. Only ever used Choi for emunand.

I'm beginning to think that the Hekate Boot0/1 restore feature isn't working as intended. I'll have to get my card reader when I can.

Choi breaks mariko stuff from what I'm aware

Mariko. Choi works good on emunand and daybreak works good on sysnand.

I use choi to update my emunands.
I use daybreak to downgrade my sysnands.

SXOS has kind of protection for ChoidujourNX on mariko (maybe it's illegal),
but Atmosphere is open source, so it doesn't have one.
Choidujour-bricked sysNAND/emuNAND will not work on Atmosphere.
You should always use Daybreak on atmosphere&mariko.

Choi on Mariko works well on emunand V1 patched/V2/Lite. No issues updating just don't downgrade and or touch sysnand.
