Hacking Atmosphere-NX - Custom Firmware in development by SciresM

[guily6669]

Yeah well like I said before I bought 3DS and throw it in the drawer and forget I had a 3DS for ages until GW arrived...

I had PS1 and only bought 3 games, I only played games because my friends lent them to me. Xbox I also bought like 6 only and when they got cheap, only enjoyed it after softmod. My Dreamcast I had like 2 games to play for years until I could finally burn CD's for it (when the console was already dead).

On my Xbox 360 I never bought a single game, first day I tested it with demos, second day I fully disassembled it, soldered PC molex power cables, added fans all over the place and then sent the DVD-reader to install CFW on it and later RGH.

PS3 I have it original (never wanted it moded as its free online and all games were cheaper in promotions on PSN, I bought the console used in like 2012 or 2013 a super slim for 120€) and all digital games, PS4 all original and all digital games, but I barely use it as I don't have many games to play so I play in the PC instead ...

Anyone with CFW? Ummm... nobody HAS CFW yet. SciresM is making one. As far as I can tell, it should be a lot like B9S on the original hardware Switches, in that the main vulnerability can't be patched.

Really? I thought it was basically done for 3.0 and below. I'm on 4.1 and since I'm expecting new games to be shipped with 5.0 I'm just wondering if anyone with Atmosphere or who has worked with it had tried an update.

It's not fully done for any firmware. It's not built per-firmware. They still need to work on emuNAND via EL2 along with deciding and implementing OS patches, plus some other things.

No one has any exploit that allows you to use it.

Maybe @dimok will do a great job again and write a backup loader? Thx what u did for the wii u scene. We never forget. Or some brazilian guy will discover the direct game install again.

I dont think he will comeback so have Faith in the new ones

The brazillians didn't discover it, but they did share it.
They didn't really do much anyway, it was just the basic (but very very useful) finding that you can install titles to the system using the universal disc ticket with a bit of modification.
That won't be happening on the switch again because each cart has it's own cert, similar to how every 3ds game had a private header.
This means unless we figure out a way to prevent it, it will be EXTREMELY easy for nintendo to detect installing cart dumps to the system (if that's even possible), it will be able to detect when multiple people are playing the same dumped game
And freeshop is definitely not happening with their new online shop system currently in place.
Frankly the days of pirating and staying online are pretty much over with this system, at least for the currently forseeable future. Can't say that will be forever, and they may be ways around their detection methods.

I'm personally gonna try to hold off even installing FG/Atmosphere until everyone else tries it for a while and can demonstrate the systems won't be banned. Homebrew is not a necessity to me and I would much rather keep my system online for things like Splatoon2 and all the digital content I've purchased.
Piracy if completely off the table for me even if it starts becoming possible. I'm taking as few risks as I can with this thing.

So you want hacks and also online capabilities? maybe a second switch is better for you so no need to worry about losing your original account

 

[aerios169]

well if we can install a emunand and a normal partition without hacks maybe we could play online. if the bug doesent have a patch it could be great

That's the thing though. Homebrew isn't worth investing in a second switch to me. I would rather go without homebrew than to invest in a second switch just to stay safe with my system.

I've said the same thing myself but I'm not sure if, when the time comes, I'll have the huge amount of willpower needed to stop myself from tinkering with it.

Especially since I enjoy tinkering more than gaming.

 

[Dontwait00]

I dont have a switch, but i will love to have one!

But for now, i have to stay on my Wii

I feel you man, I'll be one of the few who'll install CFW on Day 1. I don't care about online play anyway, especially after free online access is gone. I'd rather go online with my PS4.

Regarding piracy, hey I'm no hypocrite. But games I love I make sure to buy them as collectibles.

If I’m on 4.1.0 will I need anything more specific other than a usb c to a and a large sd card?

A Y00/2.0mm triwing screwdriver and +00/2.0mm philips scredriver.

Or just wait a bit longer if you don't want to disassemble your switch at day 1. For 4.1.0 there will be a software exploit.

Yeah, for those who doesn't want to do the (allegedly) simple hardmod they can wait. But they'll have to wait indefinitely, and you know people here are very impatient.

 

[yardie]

Anyone with the CFW know what happens when you update after its applied? Do all exploits and homebrew things stay in place?

Dude you're delusional or from the future

 

[leon315]

What happened to the good ol' days of soldering a modchip and then burning a bunch of CDs?

good luck to find ninty's cartridges

Will a software exploit be available to 3.0.1 also, or will we have to open our consoles?

 

[TheGreek Boy]

i have a 3.0.0 switch
