Now i have my V2 im ready to put CFW on my V1, i have 3D printed a Jig and confirmed its working, can anyone point me towards a trusted guide on the process please?

The number of options in that sd setup is huge, looks like i have quite some reading to do before i do anything, i assume selecting everything is bad?

Well, this is a useful bit of information. Last we heard you were still getting a black screen so I was still trying to get something simple to boot without the complexity of Hekate/Atmosphere. Thanks for sharing!



Yes, that’s the latest known good

yes thanks for all the help

i would like to bring my old save data and games from my sx os over to my atmosphere would it cause any problems with game loading?

I have an Erista model OFW 13.2.0 CFW Atmosphere 1.2.5. What do I need to do to to make it so that when I click on the Photo Album, it opens it instead of directing me to HBL? I have a couple of kids in the house and I don't want them accidentaly messing up some stuff.

yes, read read read. it will help you troubleshoot later!

Just do the recommended defaults. you’ll be fine with them.

…you can get more esoteric as you learn what you want.

https://github.com/WerWolv/Hekate-Toolbox will handle it for you via a GUI. There is a setting in a .ini file underneath that does it. Will see if I can find it.

edit: This is how mine is set up…

Edit the file called:

/atmosphere/config/override_config.ini

add the following to make pressing “R” required to get to the hb menu:

[hbl_config]
override_key=R
program_id=010000000000100d

if you want to go back to the original way just put a “!” In front of the “R” like so

override_key=!R

No issues at all. Assuming youre just going to look up JKSV and use that on both to export and import save files…

Found the recommenced defaults, thanks, i missed that proving i need to read everything at least 3 times lol.

been reading the guide and something im not clear on is booting to the CFW after everything is done, it seems like RCM is needed each time is that correct or can it be set to auto boot to CFW and then the option to reboot to stock from within the CFW?

If RCM is needed every time then i will put a button on a joycon.

CFW is not permanent. Every time you reboot you will need to use a jig and inject a payload. Fortunately you can leave it in sleep mode which doesn’t require this.

You will likely not have to do this for months at a time with the exception that you’re away on a boring business trip and forget to bring your jig in which case your switch will instantly misbehave and you will be forced to reboot.

once you‘v played with things for a while check out Trinket M0. it is an advanced way of building your jig and payload injector inside the switch and eliminating all the external stuff altogether!
…but for now…baby steps.

I don't have the override_config.ini in my config folder but I do have it on my config_templates folder. Can I just copy that to the config folder then edit it to make it work?

Ok have you got a. Guide for me to do this? With the save files ?


Should I convert my old games get new files that could be issue?

Absolutely…it’s best practice actually.

Ahh ok.

I dont mind it being like that as i have a V2 for online now so the V1 will not likely be used in stock FW much.

Just had a look at that Trinket M0 and its something im definitely interested in doing, im comfortable with soldering stuff, modding or diy'ing electronic things is common place in the RC hobby and have decent gear for solder work.

You should be fine. Might to pick up a microscope if you don’t have one. Mother than some wires and a trinket, here’s everything you need:

thanks for that is that the same as check point i have that on the other memory card or not?

will it work if the games are different file types but same game?

 

[binkinator]

Checkpoint wasn’t updated for a couple of years so many people switched to JKSV. That’s recently changed with the latest Checkpoint update so if you’re more comfortable there that’s totally fine.

when i was using sx os i was using xci files are i better to convert them to atmophere file types or just grab new more suitable file types or convert what i have?

you can install XCI files in Atmosphere using any of the modern installers. The only thing SXOS can do that Atmosphere won‘t do is mount and play the XCI games from an external without installing them. Literally…that’s it.

Here are some installers you’ll find frequently in the wild:

Tinfoil
DBI
Tinwoo
Goldleaf
