Hacking Atmosphere-NX - Custom Firmware in development by SciresM

[tivu100]

To add onto this, outside of entrypoint confusion, certain features don't work on all features when they are implemented through Hekate. For example, sleep mode. It is still not fully supported on 3.X firmwares. Another is LayeredFS. The reasoning being people keep pulling Atmosphere's WIP code, compile it for the scene, then those that cannot do "insert cool thing here" are bummed out and think Atmosphere won't support Y firmware. Atmosphere has and will always be a CFW designed for all firmwares in mind and that is also why it is coming with EmuNAND support to give greater flexibility and freedom to the scene.

Is there anyone taking over EMUNAND developing or teams have always been working on it independently, or it's never been dropped? I am confused about certain developer showcase EMUNAND , but then pull the open source down

i dont give a fuck for warmboot, im on 2.3.0 then i will update!

You'll need to RCM every time you boot the console. It'll be like the Wii U if you stay down there.

So EmuNAND was announced initially for Atmosphere, but we would have to wait for Atmosphere to be completed before we got our hands on EmuNAND. This is being done by Team ReSwitched but judging by the commits, its 99% being handled by SciresM and TuxSH (prominent 3DS hackers). Then very recently, another prominent hacker by the name of naehrwert announced to be working on EmuNAND support. He did not give an announcement date but effectively there were 2 different teams developing EmuNAND. However, when "backup swapping" began spreading, people inappropriately titled the process "Hekate backup launching" (Hekate is just the name of the payload, its the WIP Atmosphere CFW that enables this). Due to not wanting his work being associated with piracy, he did not leave the scene but rather made his work closed-source. So he is still developing whatever he is developing but in secret now. However, we cannot confirm if naehrwert is still working on EmuNAND or not. However, since Atmosphere is still being worked on, EmuNAND is still being worked on there.

EDIT: I need to work on my repetition. Take a shot for how many times I said "however"

Whats the current state of development? What is left to do?

Are we positive sleep mode is enough to prevent that? I've noticed the Switch does not make a complete power-down very intuitive to perform, so I'm wondering just what all is the difference between power down and sleep mode on switch (besides the obvious maintaining of game state).

For instance, any other console I can turn off by holding their home button and seeing a Power Off/Shutdown option. The Switch only seems to give Sleep Mode unless I go back to the Home Menu.

finishing these issues atmosphere is done and ready to release?

No because these are just the issues they have with what they have so far. If they discover more issues, they'll add them there. It'll only be done when it is done.

2019 release confirmed!

btw thanks for answer!

An update from the team would be nice ... I haven't read in some time ... Well at least I haven't

 

[andijames]

Just follow the discord and the GitHub commits that's always a good source of truth. And not speculation which makes a change

Do you have a link to the discord?

Hekate is a woman.

Does Hekate is the "kate" for Kate (Name of the person) and "He" because it's, at the origin, a male? Like Kate temkin which is a trans. Hekate Temkin?

No its a reference to the goddess Hekate: http://www.theoi.com/Khthonios/Hekate.html
Any other potential interpretations are merely coincidence and false.
