Atmosphère 0.19.0 released; adds support for Switch firmware 12.0.0

atmosphere.png

@SciresM has released the latest version of Atmosphère. Version 0.19.0 adds support for Nintendo Switch on firmware 12.0.0 and the release is also bundled with hbl 2.4.1, and hbmenu 3.4.0. In addition to some stability improvements and bug fixes, version 0.19.0 of Atmosphère includes improvements to mesosphere. The release note mentions that the current focus of Atmosphère's development is on the implementation of the host target connection protocol.

You can find the full changelog below or in the source link:

The following was changed since the last release:
  • Support was added for 12.0.0.
    • mesosphère was updated to reflect the latest official kernel behavior.
    • sm, boot2, pgl were updated to reflect the latest official behaviors.
      • Please Note: 12.0.0 added a new protocol for IPC ("tipc"), which has been freshly reimplemented in its entirety.
        • It is possible there may be as of yet unfound issues; if there are, please send the appropriate crash reports to SciresM (SciresM#0524 on discord).
        • Homebrew which uses atmosphere extensions (including the mitm API) will need to be re-compiled in order to function on 0.19.0.
          • I apologize for this, but it's unavoidable for technical reasons. If you're affected by this and mad about it, please contact SciresM to complain.
    • erpt was partially updated to reflect the latest official behaviors.
      • New features were added to erpt to track the activity of running applets, and to detect when a forced shutdown occurs.
      • These behaviors have been temporarily stubbed, as they are not necessary for 12.0.0 to run (and their outputs won't be saved anywhere).
      • A future atmosphère update will implement these behaviors, in the interest of reflecting official logic as faithfully as we can.
  • Atmosphère no longer uses the /contents/ folder for its own programs.
    • Atmosphère's system modules are now bundled together in the single file "stratosphere.romfs".
      • For those working on developing for atmosphère, executables inside the /contents/ directory will be preferred to those in "stratosphere.romfs".
    • Please Note: In order to facilitate this change (and the desired behavior), the first time you boot after extracting a release zip, atmosphère system modules inside /contents/ will be deleted.
      • This will have no impact on user programs (it only removes programs with specific program ids).
  • Improvements were made to mesosphere, including:
    • An extension InfoType was added for getting the current process handle, without having to spawn a thread and do IPC with oneself.
    • An issue was fixed in SvcSetDebugThreadContext.
    • An issue was fixed when doing IPC with user buffers.
  • Support was fixed for toggling the custom setting usb!usb30_force_enabled on 9.0.0+.
    • This was broken by Nintendo's introducing a dependency that made USB a requirement to launch before custom settings are parsed.
    • Since the fix, you can now toggle the setting (as you could prior to atmosphère 0.9.4), and it will work as expected.
    • Please Note: Enabling USB 3.0 often severely impacts wireless communications.
      • Because of this, the setting will default to off. If you experience issues with it enabled, consider disabling it.
  • A warning was added to daybreak when resetting the console to factory settings.
  • Substantial work was completed towards atmosphere's upcoming implementation of the host target connection protocol.
    • Once completed, users will be able to interact with a Switch running atmosphère via a PC application ("Starlink") currently under development.
      • Planned eventual features for connected consoles include a gdbstub, interacting with memory (for cheat development), streaming gameplay audio and video, and accessing the Switch's SD card filesystem.
      • Switch homebrew will also have access to a (configurable and sandboxed) filesystem on the host PC, while connected.
    • Towards this end, the following was accomplished:
      • The "htc" system module was reimplemented completely.
      • The system module which provides remote access to the SD card was reimplemented completely.
    • This is currently the active focus of atmosphère's development.
    • Please Note: Support is not yet completed, and users are disadvised from interacting with the related settings for the time being, unless they particularly know what they're doing.
  • A number of minor issues were fixed, including:
    • A bug was fixed in dmnt that could cause a fatal when launching certain games with cheats active.
    • An issue was fixed that could cause an abort in sm when using a large number of custom system modules.
    • An issue was fixed that prevented launching gamecards on 1.0.0.
    • Minor issues were fixed in the cheat virtual machine's behavior.
  • Several issues were fixed, and usability and stability were improved.

updated atmosphere cfw, boots fine into atmosphere, no games work says try again from the home menu, also wifi wont connect, but connects fine in ofw, most of homebrew stuff crashes the console forcing a reboot to payload.
You also need to update sigpatches for games to work

How come if you dont mind me asking? What happens if you don't?
B/c that what usually leads to black screens, its the most common mistake ppl forget to do when a new update drops and then this site gets bloated with threads of black screen problems. Someone said they updated with themes just fine, but its better to play it safe and just uninstall it anyway. B/c if you do get a black screen for whatever reason then you can confirm the process of elimination that you had no custom theme to trigger that error.

In other words, don't install custom themes, for all intents and purposes. Got it.

Crap I think I just had this happen. Let some kids play with my switch and they're familar with switches and I assumed tried to play online and updated my switch and I got hit with a black screen. Eventually got it taken care of with a few searches but I had no idea what caused it

As far as SX OS goes. How would anyone get the update anyway if one came out? The guy who updates the SX Xecuter website is in jail. Nobody else updates that web page. I'm guessing nobody else has access to updating it either.

Its so fucking frustrating how most CFWs don't work now, either they crash or some other errors. Now i can't use cheats on EdiZon SE because its broken as well and those who made these CFWs are slow to catch on.

Are you seriously complaining about a free CFW you didn't help code at all on the first few days of release?
Why did you update already if you don't want to beta test?

There is also a warning in the release notes about homebrew needing to be recompiled due to module changes.
If you don't know how to do that, wait for the new versions or downgrade your OFW/CFW if need be.
Wait a few weeks/months for it to be stable, as no game needs the new OFW to run, if a smooth experience is all you want.

damn, I wish I could run cfw on my switch... but mine is a Mariko that came out the box with 8.0.1. All the guide site says is wait for homebrew, for over a year now. More frustrating is I was able to get a copy of Saint's Row IV that won't even launch because it whines for an update. All this before No More Heroes 3 is out... damn it :(

the dude is amazing but I still don't know how to switch from SXOS using Emunand to Atmosphere without losing all my save games and how it all works.
So now I will wait IF SXOS will release a new version. In fact I think I've been waiting since November or something and if there won't be something out once Skyward Sword releases I think it can be confirmed that SXOS is officially dead and I hope I've figured out how atmosphere works by then.
the switch is really easy and fast. you can keep all your stuff including your emunand

The only reason guides say wait is because nobody is working on an exploit. It may even be possible that no new exploit is released for Mariko units. If you want more practical advice, sell your Mariko and buy an unpatched unit instead.

Legit question, homies:
For us disgusting pirates, why the sudden rush to update?

There's always incompatibilities in the early days whenever a big update comes.

No games yet needing the update.

Just curious, that's all.

Imagine being this entitled about something that several folks are working on for FREE. If you think you can do better and faster than them, then do it instead of complaining.

Oh wait, you can't. Because you most likely don't even know how any of it works.
