Hacking RELEASE Argon NX - Payload chainloader

[lordelan]

I made some themes for Argon and its icons inspired from previous Nintendo consoles: Famicom, NES, SNES and 3DS. You can see and download them from here: emanuelebgn.tumblr.com/post/182781403586

The god of the amiibo cards took on ArgonNX. Sweet outcome! Love the two NES/Famicom ones.

This is the definitive Payload for the ones that use a Trinket M0 to inject the payload. No need to flash it over and over when Hekate/ReiNX/SxOS/Others receive an update. THANKS!

I quite like my abomination called Simple-UF2 as well.

Been lurking here for years and year. I just signed up to say thanks!

I've installed a SwitchMe Mod to my switch and ended up with Simple-UF2->ArgonNX->my list of FW all from cold boot. Seems you are at least partly responsible for that, so thank you so much!

Hi, can someone please tell me which files I need to swap when a CFW update occurs ?
I would like to update hekate "4.6" to "4.6 svs"

The .bin file

The .bin file

Thank you, but which one ? Is it located within "bootloader/payloads" ?

Put hekate_ctcaer_4.6_svc.bin in "SD/argon/payloads" folder

 

[CTBC]

Put hekate_ctcaer_4.6_svc.bin in "SD/argon/payloads" folder

Thank you, should I rename it to "hekate.bin" ?

It doesn't matter how it's called.

Edit 15/02/19: added Wii U theme

I wouldn't have expected to prefer that Wii U theme over the Famicon one but it's just great.
I see that you included some generic logos for things like memloader or Painless Linux.
However it would be pretty cool if you'd bother to make real icons for at least

• Painless Linux (just some Tux image)
• Ubuntu (like here)
• Android (this material design icon is pretty cool, although it might not fit to the artstyle of the rest) - because it's coming
• BriicMii (click)
  and
• memloader (click)

I could do them by myself somehow but since you're applying different borders for each logo for your different themes I figured you might wanna offer them on your own.

Thank you for your hints. I never used nor followed much those homebrews so I didn't know them well to find an appropriate image (except the penguin for Linux, that I haven't use to not make its icon different from the other hb icons).
If you want to make icons for my themes, you can find some empy .png in the "ARGONNX" folder in my Mega amiibo folder (no more on Mediafire).
Also, if you liked the Wii U theme maybe you could like also the new GameCube theme!

Oh you already made them as requested, super fast! Thanks a lot.
Also there are your border pngs for the specific themes (with the right alpha color I guess).
That's all I need. Cheers! =)

 

[huma_dawii]

OMG imagine hekate having a GUI like this <3

 

[EmanueleBGN]

with the right alpha color I guess

No, the .png haven't the Alpha Channel: you have to create it (full white) and save the final images in .bmp (32 bit). Where the colour is "#1d1919" you'll see transparency

 

[worm28]

Well here is my
background.bmp

I borrowed it from another user lol

 

[lordelan]

...

Why is it mirrored?

 

[chronoss]

Just adding a few more features.

Adding auto correct shutoff.
If console wasn`t shut off correctly (this is for modchip users), you will see...

"Console wasn`t powered off correctly.

Shutting down.

Please power on again to use your console!"

Still more to come...

Link ?

Thanks for this !

Using an older verison is my guess. I corrected this in my build on previous page
