How to setup Atmosphere EmuMMC

The tutorial is more like
Setup EmuMMC, From SX to Atmosphere and keep using the both worlds.
If the moderator by any chance to come here, could you please change the title? Thanks.



YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED


There is always at least a risk to get you banned or unlikely to brick your Switch.

YOU'RE AT YOUR OWN RISK
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES OR BAN.

You can use your current setup of SX's Emunand (hidden partition on the SD) to boot Atmosphere's Emummc using this tutorial. This will be considered as dual emunand booting. Take advantage of the both worlds.

CLEAN UP SYSNAND
> Skip this step if you're using SX's Emunand and being online on Sysnand.
> If you didn't have any previous clean nand backup before
You have no choice here to clean up a dirty nand without a clean nand backup but to believe in this method
> Stop here if you don't want to hurt yourself or even me

Skip this step if your Switch is a brand new one or never ever been hacked.

Access NAND using PC

What you will need
- biskeydump
https://files.sshnuke.net/biskeydumpv8.zip
Run the payload and write down (or scan QRCode) Bis Key 2
BIS KEY 2 (crypt): NUMBERS
BIS KEY 2 (tweak): NUMBERS

- memloader
https://files.sshnuke.net/memloaderv2.zip
Copy *.* in [sample] folder to SD and plug it in the Switch
Run the payload [memloader.bin]
Unplug any USB cable
> Choose emmc line
> Plug USB C <> USB A cable to the Switch and PC

- HacDiskMount
https://files.sshnuke.net/HacDiskMount1055.zip
Run the tool under Administrator permission
> Open Physical Disk > Choose Linux line
> Double click on SYSTEM and fill BisKeys2 in the small table on top
Crysto > BIS KEY 2 (crypt): NUMBERS
Tweak > BIS KEY 2 (tweak): NUMBERS
> Press on [Test] > you will get OK! Entropy
> From Drive Letter table > Choose a drive disk, N for example.
> Press on [Mount]
Install driver if needed.
Acess N drive from My Computer
> access save folder
> delete all files inside the save folder except 8000000000000120
> Press on [Unmount]

> Double click on USER and fill BisKeys3 in the small table on top
Crysto > BIS KEY 3 (crypt): NUMBERS
Tweak > BIS KEY 3 (tweak): NUMBERS
> Press on [Test] > you will get OK! Entropy
> From Drive Letter table > Choose a drive disk, N for example.
> Press on [Mount]
Install driver if needed.
Acess N drive from My Computer and Delete Everything
> Press on [Unmount] and unplug the USB cable

> Press on [Power] button for 15s or so to reboot the system​

> After rebooting, the system will be in initial setup stage.

CREATE EMUNAND AS HIDDEN PARTITION ON SD
> If you're SX Users and have been using their Emunand as hidden partition, just skip this step, go to COPY FILES
> Take advantage of SX Emunand creator (without valid license needed)
> Your SD will be formatted, backup your savedata and other data are needed.

Before creating emunand > Ensure you did delete all WIFI connections and turned on Airplane / Flight mode

Go to SX website > download their latest boot.dat > copy to the root of your SD
Download payload.bin for activating payload via your chosen tools

SX OS Bootloader Menu
> Options
> EmuNAND
> Create EmuNAND
> Hidden Partition on microSD

You will get "successfully done"

COPY FILES
Go to Atmosphere GitHub and download the latest release 0.9.0 and extract all files/ folders to the root of your SD

Create > emummc folder on the root of the SD

Create > emummc.ini file inside of emummc folder

Copy and paste this to emummc.ini

[emummc]
emummc_enabled = 1
emummc_sector = 0x2
emummc_nintendo_path = Emutendo <<< delete this line if you're not SX Users or don't want to keep using SX as your primary CFW

I got banned from ReSwitched discord because of Emutendo word. I'd like to help someone out but ended up in unexpected way. But it's okay.

Hope this will help out.
Enjoy!

You've got an SX OS licence, right?
Then basically all you do is download the most recent SX OS beta from here (which is a boot.dat) and the SX Loader (which is a payload.bin):
https://sx.xecuter.com
The boot.dat goes to your SD root, the payload.bin goes to sd:\bootloader\payloads\ and there renamed to sxos.bin

If it reboots to hekate, most likely your sxos.bin is not named correctly or it is spelled wrong in your hekate_ipl.ini so post that one here please so I can have a look if it's still not working. ;)
Any reason why I click boot into normal CFW and it doesnt boot but if I boot normal CFW is sx it does it
Also when I boot into atmos emummc the serial number is gone does that mean jts cfw and not normal

Sounds strange to me. You can always look in system settings at your firmware version and if it's Atmosphère it should stand there next to it.

Tell me the exact name of the sxos payload in sd:\bootloader\payloads\
and then post the content of the sd:\bootloader\hekate_ipl.ini here in SPOILER and CODE tags. :)
I fixed it, the hekate.ini didn’t match as you had SX_OS and mine was just sxos. I changed mine to match, so problem solved.

Yes.
Atmo + emuMMC -> E at version end
SX + emuMMC -> SX rommenu shows up by accessing album applet
Ok well I mustve done something wrong again because when i boot into whats supposed to be atmos emummc it boots into regular atmos

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Is there anything I can upload that you can take a look at to see where I mightve messed up at

Did not follow your discussion here but to have one emuNAND working in both custom firmwares, you have to create it with SX OS (emuNAND partition based) and create this file:

sd:\emuMMC\emummc.ini

with the following content:

Code:
[emummc]
enabled = 1
sector = 0x2
nintendo_path = Emutendo

Given the fact that you use most recent Atmos and hekate (KOSMOS) of course.
If you want to use your installed sysNAND games in the newly created emuNAND, rename
sd:\Nintendo
to
sd:\Emutendo before your first emuMMC boot.

You can also have a look at my guide. Although it covers Ubuntu as well, it's good nevertheless to get to know how to setup an emuMMC for both CFWs:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/partition-based-emummc-and-l4t-ubuntu-on-the-same-sd-card.543956/
Also take a loot into my hekate_ipl.ini there. ;)

well I already have emmunand partition based set up using sx os that's my main CFW as I started out with SX but I think it may have something to do with the emummc.ini file as when I saved the file the name I put it under was emummc.ini and once I boot into atmos Emmu the screen just goes black and that's it

So you never succeeded in booting into your emuNAND with Atmos?
If so and if you can already use it with SX OS, just delete your sd:\emuMMC\ folder.
Then create it freshly, put in a emummc.ini with the content I posted above and be sure to have such an entry somewhere in your sd:\bootloader\hekate_ipl.ini:

Code:
[CFW (EMUMMC)]
fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin
kip1patch=nosigchk
atmosphere=1
logopath=bootloader/bootlogo.bmp
icon=bootloader/res/icon_payload.bmp
{}

Ok Ill try that and correct I can boot into emmunand with sx fine but when I try to boot into emmuNAND with Atmos it just boots into regular Atmos without the E at the end

Umm, are you sure that it's not the emuNAND? Never looked for that "E" at the end tbh.
Try changing the menu theme from black to white in SX emuNAND, then boot into Atmos emuNAND and see if it's white or black to be complete sure.

If you put the card in your PC, hit WINDOWS+R and enter diskmgmt.msc, what does it show you?
Should be 29.1 GB unallocated space and a FAT32 partition afterwards, correct?

Yes it does say 29.1 unallocated and when I changed the theme from black to white on sx emunand atmosphere also changed from black to white. I thought I read somewhere that you should see an E at the end for the emuMMC with atmos maybe its only when your using atmosphere emuMMC by itself

I have SXOS on hidden partition. I installed AtlasNX alongside, following this guide.
Everything is working fine, except my games.

I dumped my games in SX OS with SX dumper to XCI, then installed them to the SD Card with SX Installer. When trying to run the games in atmosphere I recieve "An error has occured" a couple of seconds after starting the game.

If using emunand can I boot into ofw and download purchased games and restore saves with minimal risk of being banned? Or do you have to reflash the clean nand back?
It's a virgin switch that has never had hacks on it and has clean nand.

On a virgin Switch:
Make a NAND backup (just in case). Create emuNAND. Use hekate to boot into stock sysNAND or CFW emuNAND.
Use sysNAND to play online with legit games. Use emuNAND for anything else.

Edit: Obviously keep emuNAND offline or use 90DNS or incognito.

Hey there, wondering if you can pass on some advice. Following your posts I've gotten it to the point I can open my SXOS emunand in Atmosphere, but like Colin above I can't open stuff. I also noticed the replacer shortcuts aren't working either, so I can't get into any Homebrew, which is the whole reason I wanted atmosphere since I want to backup my saves to switch to a larger SD card.

Any tips?
