Hacking Atmosphere-NX - Custom Firmware in development by SciresM

hey guys to update Athmosphere I assume I just need to copy past the "athmosphere" and "switch" folders on the sd and overwrite everything right? but what about the "sept" folder? where I'm supposed to place it?

On the root of the sd card.

You need to make these changes in the config file as explained by Muxi a few pages back:

Copy the override_config.ini from the atmosphere/config_templates folder to atmosphere/config and edit the entries as follows:

[hbl_config]
; program_id=010000000000100D
; override_any_app=true
; path=atmosphere/hbl.nsp
override_key=R
; override_any_app_key=R


[default_config]
; override_key=!L
; cheat_enable_key=!L

How do you guys map any key to a homebrew app now that the hbl.json settings is gone? I really wish they had complete documentation about all this

I accept I'm most likely wasting my time on this thread as what I wish to address has been discussed many many times already with seemingly no chance of ever happening but thought I'd voice my mind all the same.

Atmosphere is my primary CFW, I only once in a while use the SX software and this is purely for things such as XCI mounting and USB loading.

I know before I even start writing that the likes of Scires, Tux, Hexkyz and co are very much anti piracy, I totally respect their belief's and principles.

That said surely there is some other independent dev or team that could or would be prepared to create a system module to work under Atmosphere for XCI mounting, USB loading etc.... ?

I am sure there are individuals and teams with the necessary skills to create such a thing and if it's purely a case of either being shunned by the main dev's or worrying about heat from big N then there are other ways to release things. Anonymous pastebin's (remember pasta), uploading via vpn to torrents etc...

I've probably wasted my time writing all this, however I know there are others who share my wishes.

It would just be nice to bin that other software once and for all.

Thanks for reading.

This just isn't a priority. Like, at all. XCI files can already be installed to the SD or NAND as if they were NSP files. USB loading largely defeats the purpose of portability. Arguments can be made for wanting these things, but for the reasons I just listed, they're not worth the time and effort. If you want these things, develop them yourself.

My recommendation is you buy a large SD card and be happy. That, or use SX OS I guess.

Like I said "I accept I'm most likely wasting my time".

You never know someone may see this and have the inclination, you never know.

But I accept it won't be anyone actively involved atm as like you clearly say it's not a priority for them.. this I already know.

Just posting in the hope someone/s sees this and is interested.

Your only hope is Xortroll who has been working on it slowly but surely based on this thread however I am not confident Xortroll is the most qualified given the status of his other projects namely Goldleaf.

I think it has to do with me updating my switch today but I can’t go to homebrew browser when I go to the home menu, when I’m playing bloodstained ritual of the night. I had to update atmosphere today to because the version I was using was for 8.x and wasn’t working on for the latest switch version. Maybe it has to do with my sd card or the game itself because using homebrew browser while on re6 so far doesn’t cause a crash.

Searched error code
Read it was not an atmosphere issue, so I guess I have to wait till hbl gets an update.

Problem fixed, I just needed to delete freebird, I guess for now I will only have one option for over clocking. The funny thing is I just got freebird today.

Thank you for a proper reply/explanation, appreciate it as always.

Hey guys, I have a switch running atmosphere (not sure what version) but I want to upgrade it to play pokemon. How do I go about updating my switch (without going online) and atmosphere it self. The reason I dont know how to do this is because I had someone else install the cfw

Thanks in advance

Edit:
My current system version of the switch is 6.2.0

 

[OperationNT]

Download the decompressed firmware on some WareZ sites (I don't think there are other ways) and update using ChoiduJourNX.

What's wrong with Goldleaf?

XorTroll just doesn't support piracy (just like the ReSwitched team). That's why he refuses to include NSZ support into Goldleaf which caused blawar to troll him (once again) by forking Goldleaf into Goldbricks and add NSZ support.

XorTroll's usb support is on the way (he started rewriting it and it turns out to be better than ever) but although this is a step in the right direction for those who are wishing for XCI mounting in Atmosphère, I can almost garantee you that XorTroll won't do an XCI mounter.
His driver might support RetroArch rom loading or pPlay video playing from HDD though which still is a fantastic addition to the current state for dock lovers.

You can argue that NSZ and XCI are not for piracy only and that there's no real difference in supporting NSPs but not XCIs or NSZs as a legit game buyer may still want to dump his 50 cartridges and store them either as NSZs to safe space or as XCIs to play them in the docking station without the need to always get up and swap cartridges but that rather leads to someone else finally making an open source XCI mounter (if that is even possible) than XorTroll or SciresM doing so and we have to accept that.

My issues with Goldleaf are not the piracy support. My issues with Goldleaf are solely related to stability or bugs. I couldn't care less about NSZ support. But if your application fails to do what its most well-known for, I think that's a problem

So it's not installing NSPs for you?
Working fine on my end. Newest FW, newest AMS, newest sigpatches, newest Goldleaf -> no problem here.
If it does not work for you, make sure you have everything on a recent state (except the FW if you don't want/need it) and to be completely sure boot AMS with fusee_primary instead of KOSMOS/hekate.

Its not that its never worked for me. On the contrary, its worked the one time I had to use it. But it was ridiculously slow compared to its competition. The stability and bugs come from all the people I troubleshoot both here and on Discord. Once I tell them to use Awoo Installer, all their problems go away and they never look back. Just take a look at the Awoo Installer thread and its full of people happy to ditch Goldleaf for a better title installer. Its not rocket science.

Wasn't Awoo the one with the childish SX OS licence checking nonsense?
But whatever. As long as those people are happy now, so am I.

It was initially. But I believe he removed it after the initial release. Practically though, I don't understand why people use other title installers when they have SX OS. I mean they have their own branded installer in the form of SX Installer.
