Great. Now this has become a thread where misinformation is spread by the only person still willing to answer questions - while a bunch of "I'm on x - how would I go for updating to y" requesters have a field day trying to abuse this before any response stops.
CAN WE PLEASE stop talking about editing the hekate_ipl.ini for Atmosphere 0.8.2 and newer nogc purposes? Because atmosphere doesnt care.
Atmosphere stopped caring about those ini edits - as far as I understand - as soon as the new patches load system (primary > secondary) was implemented. First you needed to use the nogc patches - applying them manually, by downloading them from the "I heard you guys need some sweet patches" thread - and quite recently, atmosphere started to implement nogc on its own - if a fuse check shows, that you are on a low enough (firmware <4.0) fuse count booting into a higher firmware. So if you want to have nogc applied, all you need to do currently is to update with choixdujournx with autorcm enabled (prevents fuseburn), while using Atmosphere 0.8.2 or later, which will auto apply nogc patches.
It doesnt hurt to install the nogc version of the "sweet patches" though. Which also get auto applied.
Make sure that if you are using hekate, you are launching the fusee-primary payload (into atmosphere), and you are covered.
No ini edits anywhere.
Also realize how I dindnt mention Kosmos once? Because thats also just a "make me not learn things - by prepackaging" project, I have no Idea how you could support (add a "on which kosmos version are you?" to the mix? Because we now want to remember what a "prepackager" does for his clientel at every update as well?).
Also the whole "I'm on x and want to be on y - what should I do" is utter insanity. Even without "I also use Kosmos version z" and what about me SXOS - I want, SXOS support in the open software forum folks.
Its a natural wonder, nothing short of amazing, that Draxzelex is still willing to support this. Ill give it two more months, before he realizes, what he does here, for everyone of you...
I mean, a fifth of his answers may be questionable (but thats only to be expected, with having to juggle usecases, where people might want to burn fuses, or not, or might have to have nogc applied. or not) - and resulting in people having updated their gamecardslots, when they didnt want to (using Atmosphere 0.8.2+ or only SX OS emunand for newer firmwares seems to prevent that), but what do you expect... There are 15+ people on the last pages, that wanted and needed full support - with bringing not much knowledge to the table.
This is "do the thinking for me" "the support thread". For pretty much everything. Update planning? Yes. Update management? Yes. Best practices guidelines, individualized? Yes. Support at every stage? Yes. Individually and tailored for every user? But sure?
The only comment to make on how this has developed (now have SX OS Support in the choixdujournx thread - because SADLY its best way for SX OS users to update their two nands ("which should I use for what...?") as well) is - that you guys are freaking mad. And that this still working lies on the sholders of one person still willing to play these games with you - basically for free.
And the more firmwares get released, the dumber this game becomes, because there are now more options for the "Im on x and want to be on y - but maybe not, what do you think?" charade.
This forum doesnt benefit in any way from having 15 "need full support" folks serviced. They never get to the level, where they could return the favor. All you do at this point is to make people happy for getting something, without needing to learn what you learned. For free. Just checking, that we are on the same page, and everyone realizes that.
Free shortcuts for everyone. Buy them from the worst vendor in history - he doesnt charge anything. Leave your money with the worst folks in the scene (SX OS). Smile, because you managed to pull that off.
