Occam's razor.

Occam's razor would actually dictate that "CFW" is being used because there's a history of doing so in the Nintendo scene (regardless of the usage being correct or not). What you're stating requires the extra premise "Atmosphère's developers are evil and disingenuous".

I disagree, but if that is what you think then why choose to use CFW at all then? If not just because it sounds better? Words are only helpful if they convey meaning.

Why not something like Altered System Software?

I could argue that Atmosphère can fall under the "jailbreak" category (as it includes at least one exploit for achieving "warmboot"), for example, which is far more popular and would be easier to familiarize the users with as opposed to "CFW". However, it seems you just want to troll and feed whatever hate you have for the project instead of actually contributing to a positive discussion.

Well, Occam's razor would actually dictate that I use the term "Customized Firmware" because I consider Atmosphere genuinely to be customized firmware. It's customized, obviously, because it's a customized reimplementation of the relevant NN firmware. It's firmware, because firmware is software tightly coupled to hardware -- I genuinely believe that the best approximation of a true meaning of "firmware" is that firmware is the class of software that manages specific hardware.

I'm not sure why anything other than "I believe what I am saying" would be the obvious answer here, since I've been consistent with terminology for like five years...

This kind of gatekeeping reminds me of the 3DS days, when people made the same arguments that Luma3DS wasn't custom firmware even though it was installed to NAND. Then, they said it wasn't custom firmware because it just patched Nintendo's code, and thus wasn't really "custom". I guess now that Atmosphere is unambiguously custom (and I carefully use the term customized to avoid that squabbling anyway, though I would consider Atmosphere custom myself) we're squabbling over whether it's firmware. And I genuinely believe it is.

Of course. I was already assuming a scenario where developers didn't know what they are doing since that seems to be the recurrent assumption around here.
The "people have been using the CFW term historically" was already an added premise to further demonstrate how it would still fail since the overall argument always goes back to "the scene where the CFW term originated" and how its historical use automatically makes it correct.

Sorry if this has been asked before...I have a new switch which is is running 9.1.0 and Atmosphere 0.10.1 i used to be able to disable cheats by changing the value to dmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default = u8!0x0.

Now i know its all changed the system settings is now in atmosphere/config_templates so when i find the correct line and change it to the one above the cheats are still enabled.

Also the second point with the old Atmosphere 0.9.4 I used to like pressing R and clicking the album to get to the HBM now it activates without holding R can i go back ????

Am i missing something?

I have a brand new SD card and a new install of atmosphere 0.10.1.

Any ideas and help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

You want to put your config files in the /config directory, not /config_templates. Templates just contains example files as atmosphere loads all of those settings by default.

So copy the config ini files from the templates directory to the config directory, open the system_config.ini file in notepad and look for the line
"; dmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default = u8!0x1"
and change that to
"dmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default = u8!0x0"
Make sure you delete the ; and any spaces at the beginning or it won't work. This applies to any other setting you want to change as well..

If you want to change the album setting back to way it was then you want to copy the override_config.ini file to the /config directory and change the line
"override_any_app_key=R"
to
"override_any_app_key=!R"

Ok so I isntalled an emunand.
how can i be sure they are unlinked and each are separated of the other?

There was the same problem on the 3DS with installing something in the emunand showing up in the sysnand?

Can I simply format each sys/emu nands?

You don’t need to unlink them. They use a different Nintendo folder.
