Hey sorry if this is a noob question but is there a way to check if cheat files are outdated or if I could create my own. I am trying to use cheats on these two games: Castle Crashers Remastered and Cadence of Hyrule. (Cadence of Hyrule has multiple cheat files). When I change what I believe to be the latest cheat file to the correct build_ID for their respective game, none of the cheats works.

It is always recommended to remove the atmosphere folder before installing a new atmosphere version, especially if you use sig patches. Does the aio updater tool take this into account?

It is actually recommended to *not* do this, since you'd be losing sysmodules, cheat codes, mods and important config files such as dns.mitm. The app does ask you if you want to disable sysmodules, since those may cause crashes upon updating atmosphere

Only time so far we really needed to delete the atmosphere folder been with 1.0 so it's probably not something that will be needed for a while.

Not even, you only needed to edit you hekate_ipl.ini (if you were using hekate). Leaving fusee-secondary there, and /sept for that matter, was fine

Is it also possible to update my RCM Loader One using this tool? Is this tool able to access it via USB somehow?

It would be nice to be able to update the payload of the RCM loader using the switch. The copy_files.txt seems to be usefull here. However, I dont know how to access the RCM loader. Does anyone know, if this is possible?

It is quite unhandy to always update the RCM loader on my windows pc on every hekate update. Is there an easier way?
Or is it not necessary to update the hekate payload on the RCM loader, when I updated hekate on my switch sd?

Yeah there is. You can have payload whose sole role is to chainload another payload that exists on your SD card. I'll upload one in a bit

this is a powerful tool. Thanks a lot !
I see many post about complex maneuvers but as for me, I just installed the hombrew and then updated Atmosphere and sigpatches. Have I missed something?

Haha no, that's how it's supposed to be. Works pretty well for me too!

Wow, extremely nice. Thank you very much!

I have two questions:
1) Is atmosphere/reboot_payload.bin always updated automatically by aio updater to the latest hekate payload?
2) Is there a reason, why your payload tries to load bootloader/update.bin first? Why not trying the reboot_payload.bin directly?

Noob question, with 13.1.0 being out now, is it safe to update using the app to update my DeepSea and firmware? Never done it this way before that's all.

Only ever used this for sig patches :)

1) yes, although in the next version it will ask you whether you want to set hekate as your reboot_payload
2)It wasn't always the case that hekate was set as reboot_payload, and it might not be the case starting from next version

i'm pretty sure atmosphère (nor deepsea) doesn't support 13.1.0 at the moment
