It's due to SX OS sucking ass and not being supported by RetroArch

Hahaha, fair enough

I am using SX OS also. Can i not boot the hekate payload, boot into atmosphere, and than follow the instructions to install retroarch while in atmosphere? I have no problem booting intro atmosphere to use retroarch and SX OS for everything else. Is this possible?

bluntman420 · Mar 24, 2019

Nevermind, reboot to payload lets me switch seamlessly between any cfw. But how do i get the title id of a homebrew nsp or even install an nsp thru atmosphere?. My apologies, so used to SX OS. Thanks.

bluntman420 · Mar 24, 2019

I tried to use a homebrew nsp and changed the title id in hekate so it would redirect me to the homebrew launcher. Now when i try to boot into CFW or OFW through hekate i just get a black screen. All i can do is boot into CFW from SX OS. I tried formatting my sd card and transferring all new files and still get the same black screen using hekate? Any help would be apppreciated. Thanks.

I followed this guide to the letter and everything works just fine, except N64.

I download the core just fine (Latest MupenPlus Next) but when i try to load a rom, literally nothing happens, and i also dont see any menu to overclock anywhere.

So what am i doing wrong?

So I'm trying load the homebrew menu in full RAM mode through "devmenu" which is titleid=0100000000002065, and limited RAM mode through albums. Limited RAM works fine through albums, but I can't get full RAM to work through devmenu.

Here is my loader.ini:

Code:

[hbl_config] title_id=0100000000002065 path=atmosphere/hbl.nsp override_key=!R title_id=010000000000100D path=atmosphere/hbl.nsp override_key=!R [default_config] override_key=!L cheat_enable_key=!L

easiest way is to get rid of your second part of your title_id for the album part and download the homebrew launcher (legacy format) from https://reinx.guide/guide/download-and-install
let layeredfs do the work

It should work if you started a installed game while holding R on the mainscreen of the Switch.

Thanks, turns out i was using an outdated Retroarch without knowing, after i deleted all the old files and installed the new ones everything worked

Is it possible to have button combos directly launch an nro? Tried manually doing it on atmosphere config, didn't work.

NoNAND · May 3, 2019

Oddly enough, overriding any game/app with the homebrew channel makes melonDS perform worse than expected..
Why this happens i don;t have a clue.
Anyone could explain why?

I'm running Atmosphere and I'm on 8.0.1 What I am trying to do is run retroarch with full ram access to get N64 emulation to run. I don't have any NSP's installed. It is my understanding that the newest version of atmosphere (which I have) allows for the homebrew menu to be opened with full ram access by holding R and opening one of your games from the home screen (I don't have any). My question is what would be the simplest way to either A) Install a game that can be booted from the homescreen (is there some homebrew .nsp I could install?), or B) find some other workaround to get retroarch to run with full RAM access in Atmosphere.

For the record I have tried the .nsp forwarding version of retroarch that came out a while ago but it was incompatible with the newest version of retroarch (1.7.7) which is the one I have installed.

all this time i thought i will wait to set up the n64 emulator and now that i do i see that i need atomsphere to do it? im not sure im committed enough yet. will this ever work with sx ? i like my sx

Since atmosphere does the r on any game to access homebrew menu by default now does that mean mods won't work with atmosphere?

Mods are enabled by default, you don’t hold a button to access them.

But by the default config (loader.ini) you can hold L to disable them, I believe. Same with cheats.

does full ram access this still work on ofw 9 latest atmosphere?

As of Atmosphère 0.8.6, the system now uses "override all apps" by default. This means that THIS GUIDE IS DEPRECATED - you only need to press R over any installed title and it will be overridden by hbl. Enjoy your hassle free homebrews and CFW updates!

I see a lot of people using RetroArch as an installed NSP to access full RAM, or people whining that they can't play 20FPS SM64 because they don't want to install any NSP.

Well guess what, now with Atmosphère (and soon others CFW I guess) you can have full RAM homebrews without installing any NSP. It will basically "replace" the game with hbmenu when you launch it with R pressed (or not, your choice), granting you full RAM access.

Note : You need at least one title on the console (whether it's an homebrew NSP or a digitally puchased game or a cartridge game). If you can pick an up to date game that's better as you won't be nagged everytime you launch hbmenu.

Let's get started !

Download the latest release of Atmosphère here, as well as fusee-primary.bin : https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases

Extract the ZIP to the root of your SD card

If you don't care about mods
This method breaks mods (and sysmodules with an invalid title id)

Open the atmosphere folder of your SD card and edit loader.ini (Notepad++ is your best friend)

Replace the title_id line by "title_id=app"

Replace the override_key line by "override_key=R"

Save the file, put the SD card back in your console

Use the fusee-primary.bin payload to boot Atmosphère (you can chainload it with Hekate to dual boot others CFW / Lakka)

Now running any game while holding R will open hbmenu instead of the game, how impressive ! If you want to play the game instead, don't hold R while launching it.

Or, if you care about mods
This method works with mods and invalid sysmodules

Find the title ID of your target game here : https://switchbrew.org/wiki/Title_list/Games

Open the atmosphere folder of your SD card and edit loader.ini (Notepad++ is your best friend)

The current title ID is the Photo Gallery - replace it with your game (title_id)

Save the file, put the SD card back in your console

Use the fusee-primary.bin payload to boot Atmosphère (you can chainload it with Hekate to dual boot others CFW / Lakka)

Now, running the game you selected will open hbmenu instead of the game, how impressive ! If you want to play the game instead, just hold R while launching it.

If you want to, you can edit loader.ini and change the key combination (override_key) :

override_key=!R will run the game when R is pressed, hbmenu else

override_key=R will run hbmenu when R is pressed, the game else

If it doesn't work or if it's glitchy, just try another game and hope for the best.

Ive edited the ini file but when i press R when in the HB Menu on Retro Arc, it doesnt work

I have the new atmosphere but I still have to click on album to go to homebrew and retroarch crashes the switch as soon as I scroll over logging in settings

You will need to remove the atmosphere folders and reinstall - sounds like an outdated config file was not overwritten on update.
