Thanks for the update! Unfortunately it still doesn't work with big title lists. It loops through them constantly.

Upload the source code if you want help improving the UI

Added urls to it in first post, you may notice that atmosphere part is should be ready for multiple redirections, @riyyi should modify UI soon for it

It would be nice if someone would write detailed noob-proof guide how to run this thing from stock Switch, maybe even in different topic (in Guides), I won't do that because 1) it's hard for me to write in English, and I think my text is hard to read 2) it's boring

Also, please make it handle the save files as well - if possible.

From what commit did you rebase atmosphere?

Just a suggestion... instead of replacing all your original LayeredFS *.kip files in the modules/LayeredFS folder, create an option for modplague in the "Launch Firmware" aka "Launch Configuration" selection menu.

-Create a modplague folder in /modules.

-Put the supplied loader.kip, sm.kip and fs.mitm.kip in your new modules/modplague/ folder. Just in case you want to test and troubleshoot and all that..

-Then edit your hekate_ipl.ini as follows:

{-- Custom Firmwares --}

// ...removed for comprehension...

{----- MOD PLAGUE ROMSWITCHER ------}
[MOD PLAGUE ROMSWITCHER]
kip1=modules/modplague/loader.kip
kip1=modules/modplague/sm.kip
kip1=modules/modplague/fs_mitm.kip
atmosphere=1
{----- LayeredFS ------}
{ }{May only work on fw 5.x}{ }
[LayeredFS]
kip1=modules/newfirm/loader.kip
kip1=modules/newfirm/sm.kip
kip1=modules/newfirm/fs_mitm.k
// ...and so on, and so forth...

aaand save.

And for gods sake, don't forget the atmosphere=1 under the kip1s.
Or it won't work as intended (I'm talking from experience! duncehat.jpg)

A few thoughts and questions that came up while testing, @NermaN !
First things first, you did us an incredible service.

1. Sometimes ModPlague is unable to edit my main.npdm (error) - I checked on the computer whether the file was read-only or not. The other possible source for error might be a folder name that is too long.
I was able to resolve it through one of these changes - I'm just not sure which one it was.

2. Does the backup assignment reset after every system restart? I thought it would stay due to mod plague saving the assignment in some file..
2.1 Is only one assignment (donor-game) at a time? As soon as I assign completely unrelated donor-game pairing, the first pairing seems voided - the donor of the first pair starts itselg not the assigned game.

3. Would it be possible to view in the donor selection which donors are currently assigned to which game? Best would be not only by ID but by donor name.

4. (Asking if you know why it lags implies that you would not remedy it if you would know, lol!)

5. I'm sure that it will come soon since this tool should be considered an essential for all the layeredfs-users in this community: Will someone create a GUI for this?

(Sorry in advance if any of these questions already came up in this thread).

Would be awesome to have GUI like in VBA-NEXT

Using hekate 3.0, a bit confused. Which folder's .kip files do I have to change inside of modules? There are four folders: atmosphere, newfirm, oldfirm, oldlayered.

If you want to overwrite it to use with layeredfs and lose it all again as soon as you have to update your SDFiles, it is modules/newfirm.

But as I suggested before, create its own folder modules/modplague and its own starting choice in your hekate_ipl.ini .
Helps you troubleshoot later.

Thanks for that. Does this handle saves?

Doubt it. Mod plague "just" changes your backup's foldername and main.npdm file, from what I understand (or redirect the folder, for that matter).

But tbh, I have not run into any save-related problems yet, if the donor supported saves overall...so I am not the best person to ask about saves.

to install with out changing ur sd files

make a new direct call mod
past :

cd:/mod/loader.kip
cd:/mod/sm.kip
cd:/mod/fs_mitm.kip


post : mod_plague.nro to your switch folder

and add this lines to your : hekate_ip.ini

[ new mod ]
kip1=mod/loader.kip
kip1=mod/sm.kip
kip1=mod/fs_mitm.kip


and hope it will work like its working with me with no changes

I'm getting an error:

The software was closed because an error occurred.

So I'm using my backup game with fortnite, however, fortnite is also a donor game. I've also tested on a non-donor game. Any ideas suggestions? I currently replaced the original kip files in my sd card. I'll try again with the mod folder suggested a few posts up and see how that goes, but in the mean time, any help would be appreciated!
