Hacking Help a NOOB to move from SXOS to Atmosphere

piratevil · Aug 18, 2022

Guys my head will explode. I don't understand anything about emunand emummc etc.
I just have my SX OS installation on my Swith with XAW serial with the dongle and stuff.
I have followed many tutorials but none of them works and I dont want a brick.

Basically all I do was to put some boot.dat and move the atmosphere folder in my switch SD card (it still has SXOS folder)
I added something called Hekate and now when booting I need the SX OS dongle to enter this menu (SX OS menu does not appear anymore)

I dont care to lose games savedata etc I just want to installa atmosphere to play animal crossing and other games.

When I follow tutorials there is an option inside Hekate that says "Migrate EmuMMC" and when clicking everything is gray and can't continue.

I dont know what is Emunand or Sysnand or whatever I'm not a tech savvy person I just want to play but everyone talks things that I dont understand
and the tutorials are so incomplete there is no step by step

Now after installing hekate and adding the atmosphere files I can no longer boot into OFW or CFW so I just can enter into Hekate nothing else.

PLEASE HELP ME... I'm frustrated.

https://rentry.org/mys8q , pick "for sysNAND users"
Just don't migrate the emuNAND if it's not possible lmfao

After following that guide got:

A fatal error ocurred when running Fusee.
Failed to run tsec_keygen firmware

EDIT: After that error the switch looks like booted into Atmosphere.
Don't understand what happened.

No offense but a quick google search revealed this https://gbatemp.net/threads/failed-...ing-fusee-payload-to-launch-ams-1-2-3.602402/
I strongly recommend you to use Google from time to time aswell.

To you the same. First of all hijacking threads with a different issue isn't the way to go, second to that there are many tutorials that can be found either with searching via Google or the forum's search function.

I got the SX MENU to boot first when doing RCM or something.
Executed hekate payload.bin
then click on launch and I selected Atmosphere CFW (even I had the option to select sysnand OFW dont understand what it means)

Now I have this and atmosphere booted.
Dont know what to do now

A suggestion to not clutter the screen with that big picture, use the spoiler function

Your picture however looks fine by me, the S at the end indicates you are on sysNAND though.
I know I said you can use the sysNAND configuration, but that's only because you said the options are grey and didn't ellaborate on whether you used an emuNAND on SXOS or not.
It could have been partitioned, for that an extra step would have been required.
Just for the lolz you can try shutting off your Switch, inserting your SD card into your PC and follow the instructions from the file I attached to this post, but please make sure to read them thoroughly once and then do it step by step and look at the instructions between each step.

If the program threw out files into it's working directory, you actually had an emuNAND before and in terms of preventing bans you should continue to use (that) one. But fear not, simply booting sysNAND with Atmosphere now didn't flag your console for a ban.

As I said, if the program threw out files, copy them and paste them to /SD/sxos/emunand/ (I think it was, it has been some time since I changed from SXOS to Atmosphere myself (using the file I attached aswell)), then you can look at my previously posted guide again and go through it once more, this time utilizing the emuNAND configuration and steps it requires.

If the program failed to extract files, please follow this guide https://rentry.org/EristaEmuNAND . No matter if banned or not, an emuNAND is always the better choice to also prevent messing up your internal system.

After you are done with whatever was possible, follow this https://rentry.org/UpgradeDowngrade to update your firmware to the latest version, for firmware files a quick google search helps, anything else is against this forum's TOS.

Hope this helps, right now I lack time, but we can go through this in more detail if you add me via Discord. If you still need more help, send me a PM here on GBAtemp to which I'll reply with my ID tag.

I had this problem last year I think. My switch was SXOS mod chipped and using their software, but I found that they got in major trouble and no more updates would be coming, so I found some discord server and the guy had an all in one SD card package that he was providing people to convert from SXOS to hekate. I'm not sure how it worked but it did work.

Basically it totally re-wrote the software on the modchip so now when you turn it on, it boots straight into hekate. I wish I knew who it was or where to find the package again, but yea that was a while ago. It seems like not many people on here used the SXOS or the mod chips from them because of all the trouble they got into.

This person just utilized Spacecraft I guess or SX Gear to launch hekate, no magic related to that.
