Atmosphere-NX - Custom Firmware in development by SciresM

If you're launching HB loader via a NSP, use applet mode, choi works better

 

This is an open issue present on atmos 0.12.0 related to cheat engine. Please check it over here: https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/issues/938 SciresM commented on it.

 

SciresM posted details on the boot encryption keys of the "Mariko" Nintendo Switch Motherboards.
Seems like hackers have been able to access early stages of the console’s boot process, and might be able to port the existing selection of hacking tools to the console.

SHA256(Mariko Boot Encryption Key) = 491A836813E0733A0697B2FA27D0922D3D6325CE3C6BBEA982CF4691FAF6451A

SHA256(Mariko Key Encryption Key) = ACEA0798A729E8E0B3EF6D83CF7F345537E41ACCCCCAD8686D35E3F5454D5132 pic.twitter.com/lx1whXMcS3

Explain to me like to an 10 year old. What is potential of this?

 

There's a possibility that the retrieved encryption keys can be used as part of the hacking process, probably during RCM mode, so that it can be tricked into accepting any payloads, not just official signed ones.

 

I'd love to believe this but I don't think the hardware limitation can be bypassed that easily

 

good new

 

This is good news but my understanding is that all this is to be able to use atmosphere on Mariko units if you have SX's modchip as the entry point

 

Happy June 15th?



Some interesting notes from upcoming 0.13..

 

Edit:
Figured it out. Should not only remove the ; but also the white space before the lines I want to activate.

Hi guys,
I've got a strange bug when applying the system_settings.ini
Currently I'm not using one, in other words, there is no system_settings.ini in sd:\atmosphere\config\ which is fine for a vanilla Atmosphère setup.
However I wanted to use EdiZon and cheats and therefore copied the system_settings.ini from sd:\atmosphere\config_templates\ to sd:\atmosphere\config\ and removed the ; in front of the two lines (enable cheats by default and save cheat toggles). Also I adjusted the values to 0x0 and 0x1 to disable cheats by default and save the toggles with EdiZon.

My file now looks like this:

Spoiler

Code:

; Disable uploading error reports to Nintendo
[eupld]
; upload_enabled = u8!0x0
; Control whether RO should ease its validation of NROs.
; (note: this is normally not necessary, and ips patches can be used.)
[ro]
; ease_nro_restriction = u8!0x0
; Atmosphere custom settings
[atmosphere]
; Reboot from fatal automatically after some number of milliseconds.
; If field is not present or 0, fatal will wait indefinitely for user input.
; fatal_auto_reboot_interval = u64!0x0
; Make the power menu's "reboot" button reboot to payload.
; Set to "normal" for normal reboot, "rcm" for rcm reboot.
; power_menu_reboot_function = str!payload
; Controls whether dmnt cheats should be toggled on or off by
; default. 1 = toggled on by default, 0 = toggled off by default.
 dmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default = u8!0x0
; Controls whether dmnt should always save cheat toggle state
; for restoration on new game launch. 1 = always save toggles,
; 0 = only save toggles if toggle file exists.
 dmnt_always_save_cheat_toggles = u8!0x1
; Enable writing to BIS partitions for HBL.
; This is probably undesirable for normal usage.
; enable_hbl_bis_write = u8!0x0
; Enable reading the CAL0 partition for HBL.
; This is probably undesirable for normal usage.
; enable_hbl_cal_read = u8!0x0
; Controls whether fs.mitm should redirect save files
; to directories on the sd card.
; 0 = Do not redirect, 1 = Redirect.
; NOTE: EXPERIMENTAL
; If you do not know what you are doing, do not touch this yet.
; fsmitm_redirect_saves_to_sd = u8!0x0
; Controls whether to enable the deprecated hid mitm
; to fix compatibility with old homebrew.
; 0 = Do not enable, 1 = Enable.
; Please note this setting may be removed in a
; future release of Atmosphere.
; enable_deprecated_hid_mitm = u8!0x0
[hbloader]
; Controls the size of the homebrew heap when running as applet.
; If set to zero, all available applet memory is used as heap.
; The default is zero.
; applet_heap_size = u64!0x0
; Controls the amount of memory to reserve when running as applet
; for usage by other applets. This setting has no effect if
; applet_heap_size is non-zero. The default is 0x8600000.
; applet_heap_reservation_size = u64!0x8600000

However, if I reboot with this file in the config folder, I'm stuck at the Nintendo Switch logo forever.
If I delete it, I can boot Atmosphère just fine again. What's wrong with the file?

 

0.13.0 incoming:

https://twitter.com/ctcaer/status/1272541851996880897?s=21

 

Changelog can be found here:
https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/blob/master/docs/changelog.md

 

Haha totally missed it. Always late to the party. Doh.

 

A quick reminder that when Atmosphere 0.13.0 is released, current signature patches for 10.0.x will probably not be compatible (I haven't checked if loader was updated). If you care about signature patches, please wait for them to be updated.

Edit: Patches need to be updated for homebrew forwarders. Game backups of any kind work fine.

 

Happy June 15th!

 

Yay for June 15th!

Thank you @SciresM

 

Happy June 15 again xD ty SciresM

 

Good job!

 

Where is this meme from actually? I don't remember

 

Ktemkin planned to unveil Fusee Gelee on June 15th. There was also suspicion Atmosphere would be released on the same day in order to utilize the exploit.
