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

I am planning to switch from SXOS to atmosphere but I am concerned if I will be signifcantly more likely to be exposed to getting banned by installing NSPs. I'm a little out of the loop but last time i checked (around 2 years ago) installing NSPs to play a game are pretty much guaranteed to get you a ban. Has this change or will resorting to Atmosphere force me to accept getting banned immediately?

I still plan to play MHX Rise online so if thats the case, ill stay with my SXOS for awhile longer (i know that using sxos has an inherent risk of getting banned but after taking all precautions, i have avoid getting banned for several years).

If its possible to minimize a ban as much as possible like the sxos, any precautions before i start installing NSP?

Installing arrrr-ware does increase your risk significantly, however, configuring exosphere.ini (similar to Incognito_RCM) and dns:mitm (similar to 90DNS but local) reduces the risk significantly as well. Most folks are caught either through ignorance or carelessness and even then, no plan is fool proof except for 100% abstinence, but what fun is that? At the end of the day you will need to make that call for you.

Does it seem I made sysnand and not emmunand??

Also I selected yesterday when doing this
  • To create a partition-based Emunand:
    • Move the emuMMC (RAW) slider until it says 29 full, then press Next Step and finally press Star

What can I do to recover this?

No idea what you did. Having everything up to date isnt a bad thing. Just be more careful in the future.

I’m also getting these messages if they mean anything I worried I messed up completely and if possible to fix my sysnand

We’ve not talked about anything under More Configurations so Imwould expect it to be blank.

The fact that you’ve somehow lost your /bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini is concerning. Not much detail in this post so all I can recommend is that you go back into the instructions and create a new hekate_ipl.ini the same way we did yesterday.

Does it seem I made sysnand and not emmunand??

Sysnand always exists. You only ever create Emunand (as a copy of Sysnand.)

Also I selected yesterday when doing this
  • To create a partition-based Emunand:
    • Move the emuMMC (RAW) slider until it says 29 full, then press Next Step and finally press Star

No need to recover anything except for your hekate_ipl.ini which you can do from scratch based on the guide.

Also is it bad that I have updated my whole system with daybreak? Made sysnand dirty?
If Launch without CFW I’m on latest firmware with tinfoil installed. And if I launch cfw im on that that firmware that I took picture of does that mean I sysnand?

I’m not sure what guide I should be following? because I’m not sure if I have sysnand or emunand running.
Should I post my sd card pictures for you to check my
hekate_ipl.ini?

Also when I hit launch I get nothing only that message that I posted on one of the photos is that normal?

Is this normal to have tinfoil installed without running cfw?

And under emu mmc is says disabled is that normal? See photo

also go

hekatePublic​

Waarning: Nyx is missing​


last reboot gone now


also tinfoil is on my switch even without sd card in how is that??
Post the text of your hekate_ipl.ini. It looks to me like you messed up the entries, and you've installed tinfoil onto your sysnand. If nyx says emummc is disabled, then it's disabled. You are missing /emuMMC/emummc.ini (or the entry in it is wrong).

Is there a way to customise the album icon atmosphere? Hold L or R when pressing the icon to go in HBL?
https://github.com/WerWolv/Hekate-Toolbox will handle it for you via a GUI.

You can manually edit the file called:

/atmosphere/config/override_config.ini

This is how mine is set up…

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

Code:
[hbl_config]
override_key=R
program_id=010000000000100d


to change it to L, well, you get the picture…

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

Code:
override_key=!R

* a blank template file can be found in /atmosphere/config_templates/

Well, as you can see, there is nothing in here that says emuMMC which explains why you aren't booting emuMMC. If you want to boot emuMMC, you will need a profile in your hekate_ipl.ini file that can boot emuMMC. You can download one from here

They're located in the hekate_ipl.ini file. This is what Hekate reads then displays under the Launch feature.
Sorry, my fault...i meant the hekate_ipl.ini file with said profiles ...are there place to download different ini files?
Ican't find the ini file on the sd setup page...
