Hacking Atmosphere-NX - Custom Firmware in development by SciresM

that won't last a month saddly by nintendo's playing wack a mole (and losing imo) with these dmca's

Maybe although I'm sure that that DMCA email on the site actually is valid, it could just be a black hole, also when it comes to websites the process usually takes longer because there aren't really moderators/enforcers like with github, it takes more legal effort and expect them to not fully comply (come back with a different name).

I'm not against the idea of people who want to compile code, but I am against the idea of forcing people to do so as some kind of way of circumventing the DMCA. Especially considering that these claims are fraudulent and if challenged en masse (like what happened with Youtube-dl they would fizzle out. Trying to "lay low" just gives more power to DMCA trolls and also makes user experience significantly poorer as you're essentially making them become developers when all they wanted to do was play games.

Also what do you mean by doing it via homebrew, like as in on the Switch console itself, that is in all honestly a neat idea.

Personally I think a lot of the problems lie within the DMCA law itself. I'm sure theres a lot of people that would disagree but I think it breaches one of the core principles of most legal systems, that the law should be fair and balanced. DMCA tends to quite heavily favour the claimant, I feel this is reflected in the outcomes of cases that go to court, defendants often end up having to pay a disproportianate and unfair amount in damages. On top of this the wording of the actual act itself is vague enough in places that takedown notices can be serves can be served left, right, and centre. The sad reality is if you are a legitimate business that receives one of these notices, it is 'safer' to just comply in the first instance and then appeal if you wish.

Yeah there's a lot of problems with the DMCA, unfortunately for us that means that those businesses i.e. Github are our enemy in these trying times. That's why I think letting up in our case is a bad approach since It's not our duty to respond and comply with github's DMCA complaints. When it comes to ones against private people I'll say this, honesty is one of the worst things you can do in these trying times anyone above you will gladly stab you in the back because it's "safer" no one has integrity so we shouldn't either, that's a weak spot that allows us to easily be tracked down by these people.

hello I need help, I have a nintendo oled with hwfly v4 chip, but I don't
configured the sd someone can help me?

What do you mean with "not configured"? Format it with fat32, put the latest atmosphere, hekate releaes and sigpatches on the sd, create an emummc and you're good to go.

can you give me a tutorial?

dogty is developing a homebrew app to generate sigpatches on the Switch. It is work in progress that you can follow in the thread 'Info on SHA-256 hashes on FS patches' and you can find the latest version (at the time of writing this) here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/info-on-sha-256-hashes-on-fs-patches.581550/post-9914379

Year ago I had Northridgefix solder a new SD card reader socket on the motherboard to fix a broken pin. Came back working fine with the exploit. This year, when using TegraRcmGUI to inject the latest kehate to boot latest Atmosphere I started getting the message "The SD Card is initialized in 1-bit mode! This might mean detached or broken connector!" So I sent it back to Northridgefix. When I got it back the SD card didn't even work, and they stripped a screw that now falls out. Sent it back, and now the SD card reader reads but again only in 1-bit mode according to hekate injected. I'm at a loss. I finally updated the ofw to the latest 14.1.2. Does kehate/Atmosphere work with that? I still get the 1-bit error. It seems after charging me another $250 (after the $250 last year) it has not changed except it has a stripped screw. They claimed they checked the solder points to the SD card but now claim no knowledge of custom firmware use. I can save a screen shot, but using ofw is there a way to test the speed of the mounted SD card bus? Is there anything other approach I can try to boot Atmosphere if it works with 14.1.2? Been struggling with this for a couple months now.

 

[impeeza]

it's definitively a hardware problem, at worst case you need a full rework of the connector and even replace some traces.

It can be the sd card reader itself that is dead.

Looks like wires need to be re-soldered.

It does save "screen shots" (small) OFW doesn't report a problem, but trying to create a new emuMMC with hekate is taking about 2 hours, not sure if it should be that slow. If it was the card reader, would it still work but only in 1 bit mode? It'd be work buying a new one for under $10 after what I've sent to Northridgefix. (over $500).

 

[linuxares]

tried a new sd card?

 

[rob61]

tried a new sd card?

Yup, brand new 256 Meg name brand U3 fast card. No luck.

I would say either the sd card reader is broken, or the solder job isn't good.
I honestly would test with h2test on the sdcard just to make sure it's good.

OK, will do, but I've tried 3 cards, tested 2 of them plus this new one. I'm thinking a solder connection is bad. I paid Northridgefix to fix, but all they did was break it (the SD card readed didn't work at all upon return, and then "fixed" what they broke, and never addressed the 1-bit issue, which is why I sent it there. A $250 lesson I guess. I will not send anything there again. I wonder if the guy in their UTube video even does work for them anymore. He seemed competent. But now they didn't fix the issue I sent it in for, and actually broke it. I will try to test the connections myself with my meter to see if I can find anything wrong.

You should learn to not take out the SD card too often, that people root of cause to breaking the SD card connection.
