Only 3.5 Gb in L4T
You need to mess with fuse stuff for L4T too iirc.
Dunno how to do it there though.

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

Also, probably a bit of a stretch, but here's another one, same as the previous one, but it's the experimental version with mesosphere, maybe it'll impact something somehow idk.
Also btw, have you been using fusee or hekate? You should be using fusee (I don't think it should make a diff, but idfk).

Try adding and using this config
[Atmosphere fss0]
fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin

EDIT: and use this hekate https://mega.nz/file/9V1VkaTK#p2S5Q4LFfVKx8StemtnK-zC-ewezcrRXeAAlTyrwvfk

That'll boot using hekate instead of fusee, maybe it'll make a diff idk. after this I'm out of ideas

Having `atmosphere=1` there is completely pointless btw.

EDIT2: Tried this on my console out of curiosity, while I don't actually have 6gb of RAM, the system does boot with that atmosphere loaded with that hekate via fss0, and Status Monitor does show 6gb.

Can you please provide full sdcard archive with hekate, config and patched atmosphere? Maybe I am doing something wrong.

I rebuild atmosphere with your patch, and it works. Thank you very much.

Great :)

I cleaned up my AMS patch a bit and threw it along with my hekate patch and pre-built builds of both here https://mega.nz/folder/4A0xTSbD#M92MMBT-uX4Qxqfi2bVp-A

EDIT: updated the AMS patch and builds again to remove more unnecessary shit, some of the remaining stuff might be unnecessary on systems that actually have 6gb of RAM... but it works and I don't want to poke at it lol
EDIT2: updated AMS stuff again, I've made the patch even smaller now.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but how would a RAM Upgrade help the Switch?
I am guessing I would need someone to Install any new Memory, since it is Soldered onto the Board, correct?

And works stock horizon?
I don't want boot to stock and there is no way to see how many RAM is available without homebrew.
It should boot.
But you wouldn't be able to use the full 6GB, it'd be limited to 4GB unless you patch shit or you enable debug mode (neither of which can be done from stock on retail).
