Hacking Atmosphere-NX - Custom Firmware in development by SciresM

[SuinkaiVS]

I have a question, how big is the switch nand, are we going to need at least a 64 gb card for the emunand like we did with the wiiu?

the NAND is a 32gb EMMC so yeah, we'll probably need a 64gb or more microSD card

I hope we see something like a9hl down the line

it'll happen... eventually

We already do, fusee gelee. Though SciresM seems to still be going for emuNAND anyway. Probably safer that way tbh.

F-G is putting the onus on the user to not fuck up. (aka. don't upgrade to 5.x)

Actually SciresM has stated the public release of atmosphere in summer will come with F-G and support all firmwares, but firmwares above 4.1.0 will be "less convenient". What exactly that entails is currently unknown, but it will support 5.x+

I know it will.

Its more that I misread what you wrote, and was a point on why 5.0 will be less convenient. Its going to be something in/on the users' hands. Convenience for Kate, is different from "I read this on the internet, how hard could it be".

Yeah for all we know the "less convenient" method is hardmod. Either way I'm staying on 4.1.0. I have plenty of games to last until release

Ah, dang. Then it's time to buy a 128GB SD Card for emuNAND which is probably very expensive. I use my 64GB for the Wii U with apps on it and to launch homebrew etc.
On the upside, I can store more games on the 128GB card.

EDIT: It has to be microSD?

Eh, NAND may be 32 GB but not all of that is used. System data is less than 5 GB I'm sure.

I really hope we get a clarification from the developer himself, anyway to ask him with being bothersome?

 

[Xandroz]

im rolling with 64gb untill we get a loader that can boot backups and then all ham on a 200gb one.

 

[The Real Jdbye]

That is true but you would want a full copy of NAND to avoid conflicts between sysNAND and emuNAND installed titles.

why the fu*k I cant see any imgs?? All I can see this 20X20 broken pixellated img cover!! Man, these logos would be awesome..

I doubt it, its probably just a matter of unmounting the NAND and flashing it (or flashing it in some fashion on board but while screwing with the system's boot through USB power or some such), and then you screw up the boot into whatever you flashed.

Its probably fairly straight forward and not scary for the usual power user, but it will likely be 'inconvenient' for the general user and not something they'd really want to do (people are usually scared of even opening their hardware) but all the same not worth jumping through hoops to buy multiple 300$ devices. You screw up in the flash, you brick the system. /shrug

We'll have more details when the disclosure window is up on her report.

Doesn't flashing nand entail hardmod? Any kind of physical modification, even if temporary, counts as a hardmod.

So like

A hardware modification

Yes I have the same question. Does it have to be microSD? Or is everyone just using microSD because it's less expensive?

there is only a slot for MicroSD

You can try putting a standard size SD card into the Switch if you want, but you're gonna be disappointed if you expected it to fit
