Hacking Question Atmosphere "LayeredFS"

[Don Jon]

hey guys so i found out what was going on with my problems:

use xci2converter to convert your games
i had an issue and found out that a corrupted game(converted incorrectly) will make you freeze after booting
so it would freeze after nintendo screen and you could never reach home screen

anyways

user 4.0.1 can confirm patch is working
thanks @Falo

My problem is that I can load games I have digitally, but can't with any of my carts

Can anybody me say, when a injected Game saved, displayed the switch this savegame at the storage as the savegame from the injected game or from the original (eShop) Game?

I dont want to lose my save when later comes a better way to load Backups?

I read this last night (i dont know which thread) someone mentioned the following

• Checkpoint homebrew saved original game file as 2 files
• After using LayeredFS, Checkpoint homebrew saved 4 in total, so the assumption was original game file + injected game save files were included

I cannot confirm the above yet, as i'm at work... but just FYI

Sorry guys, but I am on 4.1.0. I have done the reed switch mod on my joy con which works perfect. But now how do I get in a position where I can start using LayeredFS please? What do I need to do / copy over to my SD card or what tutorial can I use to assist in this? There are so many threads which is so confusing. Any help would be much appreciated.

That's great. Thanks for the reply.

1. Once again, boot into Hekate-IPL (Step 1).

This is the step I am stuck at. When im in RCM it boots to a black screen so I know that works fine. How do I get my switch in a position where it can do these steps please:

1. Once again, boot into Hekate-IPL (Step 1).
2. Enter "Launch firmware" and select "RomFS".
3. Your now in your system's home menu

I'm on firmware 4.01 but I was able to boot donkey kong using a cartridge mario O donar. The minimum firmware list shows DK country as 4.1, but it worked on 4.01. Just wanted to report it. Wondering how it happened? I'm assuming there is no chance it burned a fuse by running it would it have? Does this mean that higher firmware games can run on lower firmware via layeredfs?

Hmm.. now that's something I want to know about.

On 4.1.0 Great Stuff, Got Puyo Puyo Tetris Running with LayeredFS!
I am going to continue to test games. (Luckily for me, I kept the Global Testfire and World Premiere of Splatoon 2: so I have more donors )
+Edit+: The Pre-Release Versions, were not suitable candidates.

Sorry about bad instruction or video quality.

basically you just edit the new hekate ini to tell it where the kernel patch is

 

[Arithmatics]

if there is a nintendo update, is it possible to update to 5.1 later on
liike is there an archive or something?

no

 

[Arithmatics]

Will there be a guide on how to do the whole process with the original guide, using a 4.1.0?
I don't know where to start really.

I'm working on something noob friendly for 4.1.0

there is a new hekate that patches the kernel for you
no longer need to patch your kernel

Is layeredfs working in the latest atmosphere and 13.2.1 fw? I am trying to mod my character's clothes to the switch t-shirt and the mods do not apply to my game. I followed the correct folder structure

Any help will be appreciated. thanks
