double check my original post

You can just choose to reboot to payload, then you can remove your sd card, copy whatever, reinsert your sd card and run atmosphere or any other stuff from Hekate.
In addition you don't need a jig when you have autoRCM (you should have it anyway).

You don’t need a jig or autoRCM if you reboot to payload.

Hi all hope you can help me out, haven't been here since DS-Cart days :toot:!
i'm sure its a piece of cake to you guys but...
i on v9.0.1 but have RCMed okay with homemade
guessing if i get the sysNAND copied to an emuNAND as the next stage, and find out how to stay in the emuNAND for backup games etc i'm pretty much there

I've backuped up my NANDs to the PC (in process of doing it again to compare the CRCs, but anyway) - this was by injecting version 4ish on windows 10 PC onto a standard fat32 card (1 partition)
also got my keys - prod and titles (using Lockpick_RCM and a Sept folder!) all good so far

Then i read about partitioning SD card, so have a 153 gb and about a 30gb too (archiving bit cleared)
(unsure if 2nd part has to be exact to the byte if anyone can help there??? but i think it is)

the 30Gb is empty
the 153Gb has EG ATMOSPHERE, bootloader, config, ftpd, modules sep, switch folders as well as hbmenu
bootloader folder
has payloads, res sys folders and INI files bmp and BIN

so now i've injected 5.02 (didnt realise there was one after 4, whatever notes i was following!)
BUT instead of seeing the fancy emunand screen at a scenefolks page 4210 (can attach link)
"As soon as your successfully inject the Hekate payload you will be greeted by a grey boot screen and then Hekate's main interactive touch screen responsive GUI. Hekate v5.0.0 doesn't allow you to navigate using the Joycons, so you'll have to use the touch screen."

I ain't got that fancy gui - I've still got the basic launch, tools, backup (and about 4 other menu options that i dont remember, maybe restore, boot to rcm boot normal and power off?)
so, basically frightened to hit LAUNCH !!
what happens then please?
a) do i get the nice hacker gui to create the emuNAND and stuff like that? and is that from that bootload folder?
b) do i get horizon and good old NINTY can see all my partition with atmosphere etc?
c) something else lol

need some info on how to proceed please? maybe i;ve got the wrong idea, wrong DLs etc
hoping it the right thread too :O

1) where does the CFW reside on the sd card - bootloader folder?
2) where is the fancy touch gui that allows me to use the 30gb partition as the emuNAND?
thanks

1. The cfw files are in the atmosphere folder. Hekate is only a custom bootloader.
2. Whatever you mean with this question, but first create a emunand. On the frontpage of the gui is an option for this. Afterwards boot it. There is an bootoption to do this.

the guide at scenefolks says ""As soon as your successfully inject the Hekate payload you will be greeted by a grey boot screen and then Hekate's main interactive touch screen responsive GUI. Hekate v5.0.0 doesn't allow you to navigate using the Joycons, so you'll have to use the touch screen."
but i get the dos-like dos-like.png in first attached picture, not the touch gui of the 2nd picture touch.jpg

so is that 2nd one atmosphere?
and when i hit launch in the dos-like menu, i get that? (cos i though i'd get something like horizon OS and then picture gallery to start a homebrew browser to play XCI and rip Carts, etc)

also because i'm in the dos-like menu, i cannot see options to "first create a emunand. On the frontpage of the gui is an option for this. "

nyx.bin is there okay, 233 KB (239,001 bytes), but maybe i have in in the wrong partition?
its in the 153gb (the first partition, looking at partition magic and windows disk manager ) along with all other folders from SetupSD site, and the other (second partition) 29.1gb (omg, is that too big, too small!?) is empty !!
btw disk is a Basic MBR (not gpt)
so i move them all to the large one, boot, get a gui, create en emuNAND on that partition?
if so, then using the GUI, is that second partition then made into a copy of the entire internal memory?
and is that the one i boot into and have homebrew on?
thanks

ok got so far...
ive booted to gui since i move all folders (mentioned above) to the other partition - thats good !
i created the emuMMC and its enabled - good
also the veriosn number had an E at the end, so its def emuMMC running
when i boot choose Launch then CFW (emuMMC) it just goes back to the same launch menu,
so i've booted to
However
i have the folders (atmosphere, switch, bootloader , etc) partition 1
but nothing in partition 2
i thought partition 2 was supposed to be the one i boot into and it was a copy of the sysNAND that would then gradually become different as i put stuff eg homebrew, etc on it​

I've found a folder emuMMC in partition 1 (including an ini file :
[emummc]
enabled=1
sector=0x13468800
path=emuMMC/RAW1
id=0x0000
nintendo_path=emuMMC/RAW1/Nintendo​
so maybe its okay?

in summary - what is the 2nd partition of 29.8(ish)Gb for - its empty!!

I've got some troubles with selecting the default payload. To play my games converted from XCI to NSP, I need to choose Payloads > fusee-primary.bin in Hekate, or they will be read as corrupted. I would like to set this to the default and tried editing the hekate_ipl.ini. I set this entry:
Code:
[CFW (EMUMMC)]
fss0=bootloader/payloads/fusee-primary.bin
kip1patch=nosigchk
atmosphere=1
logopath=bootloader/bootlogo.bmp
icon=bootloader/res/icon_payload.bmp
It doesn't work and just reboots Hekate. Am I doing something wrong?

EDIT
Guess I should have read the documentation. fss0 is for fusee-secondary binary only. Added "payload=bootloader/payloads/fusee-primary.bin" and it worked!

A request in later version. If possible that Hekate make a checksum file. It seems to be issues with backups if you copy them via FTP.

Thanks for the reply yeah pretty sure. Would that be the only cause of the issue? It's a possibility that it could be counterfeit. I bought it from cex
It’s a thing that can cause it, yea. I think a dying card can also cause it. Can you post a screenshot of your SD card info from hekate?

Is there any way to access Nyx from old-skool hekate? Let's say i boot the switch without SD card, and insert it later. Is it possible to "upgrade" the GUI?

Minor other thing but probably related: The warning that the sleep mode library is missing does not go away after inserting the SD card.
