Hacking Atmosphere-NX - Custom Firmware in development by SciresM

[spotanjo3]

It won't right away, someone will have to code a backup loader separately after it is released. If you want to play backups now, you need to buy an SX OS or Pro, or, use the trick with Hekate. For details you should see the Backups forum.

Thank you. I will be looking into the Backups forum by then.

GUYS, I'VE A QUESTION: i own a 3.0.2 switch and i thinking to update it to use Eshop, but i'm very attempted about warmboot, is there any chance that my corrent FW might get warmboot? Thanks.

 

[thekarter104]

the biggest feature is a way to disable the nsw from sending error logs to bigN servers to prevent bans for homebrew

And the biggest issue is that we don't know the Nintendo banning situation if/when:
We go with a legit game online, but use the emuNAND (Can Nintendo detect that + there might be CFW sysCalls?) because our sysNAND is still on 4.1.0 or lower for softmod purposes, so we basically have to.

There is a pinned topic called "firmware status" that sums it up. 3.0.2 should get an untethered softmod "soon", whatever that means.

you can upgrade to 5.1.0 without burning fuses following rajkosto guide: How to install/run ANY Switch firmware UNOFFICIALLY (WITHOUT burning any fuses)
so you can go back to 3.0.2 when everything (dejavu and emunand) is ready

 

[temper999]

you can upgrade to 5.1.0...

At the moment only to 5.0.2 since there is no cart out with 5.1.0 on it.

Or if you know someone with 5.1.0:

...from someone else who has the installed firmware you want by asking for their SYSTEM:/Contents/registered folder...

 

[M7L7NK7]

You can have 5.1.0 pending and rip it from your switch or find it on google

 

[dovah]

At the moment only to 5.0.2 since there is no cart out with 5.1.0 on it.

Or if you know someone with 5.1.0:

you can get 5.1.0 firmware files by letting it download (and not apply).
now that you mentioned carts, @leon315, please, read carefully the guide

Just saw on SciresM twitter:
Still more issues to fix in LayeredFS, but took down a pretty irritating one just now. As of latest commit, LayeredFS will no longer cause a system crash when closing/opening a game repeatedly (a missing delete was causing FS to eventually die.)

Does that mean we need new SDfiles? or new payload for that new commit to work? (whenever and whoever does it)

To get these fixes you'll have to recompile atmosphere and use the new build.

If you want up to date info i suggest following the git commits as they're pretty self explanatory as they're going in as to what's being worked on etc.

Someone should do a very simple 1-single-page indicating to which firmwares you should update and where to stay without updating depending on what you want to achieve. The "can I update to X version if I want to Y?" repeats too frequently, and the only interesting entry I found about it is very out of date: http://hexkyz.blogspot.com/2018/01/the-switch-state-of-affairs.html Scires published something some time ago, but at the pace the updates are coming and the homebrew developed, is not enough...

 

[Raugo]

At the moment only to 5.0.2 since there is no cart out with 5.1.0 on it.

Or if you know someone with 5.1.0:

To 5.1 you can update easeily using the official update method but having the jig in the joycon rail and keeping pressed the vol+ button during the update process.

I was wanting to check my building process so I put all bin files onto the SD (stage2, package2, exhophère etc...) but I get stuck into MAILBOX_NX_BOOTLOADER_IS_SECMON_AWAKE, the is no timeout and error handling (I should fix that) but I don't see why I'm stuck (maybe I'll understand why after a nap)

Any advice on why exosphère wont wake up ?

If the loader work well I think I'll silent all logs and display a splash as soon as possible (with a key trigger to disable splash, it's gonna be my project of the day)

Why do people think Atmosphere is dead?

Atmosphere isn't dead, ScriesM said he/they were focusing on squashing bugs so that's why there aren't as many commits. Relax folks, it's still coming.

ScriesM has no reason not to deliver, it's just a matter of when.

 

[thekarter104]

Just because the developers are silent doesn't mean it's dead.

 

[tito83]

Just because the developers are silent doesn't mean it's dead.

But when developers are silent is because they don't have nothing to say, it means it's dead.

 

[Pizzlewizzle]

Why do y'all think it's dead? There have been 17 commits in the last 2 days...

They don't have a responsibility to provide status updates on their work. Most updates that they could provide are probably alien to noobs like us so it wouldn't be worth the effort of notifying the public. Lastly, those who plan to use their work in the future can patiently wait and are confident they will deliver. If you cannot wait or make false assumptions, then use something else like SX OS.

The last one is easy to understand : crash report management (a nice feature isn't it ?)

This is under the assumption you would care about being banned. I myself do care about being banned but if I had a dollar for every GBATemp member that didn't care, I'd be able to buy the site.
