Hacking Atmosphere-NX - Custom Firmware in development by SciresM

[M7L7NK7]

Is it safe to pull out the micro sd card from Nintendo switch if it is completely turned off? I just want to check what is it on my micro sd, before doing any kind of stuff.

As mentioned, use hekate ums. Every time you remove the sd card you risk breaking the shitty sd card connector

Ums stands for Universal Media Server, right? I have been using the MTP server from the dbi installer so far.

But you still have to turn off the switch and extract the microDS to overwrite the Hekate, Atmosphere and Sigpatches files to update them, right? Or is it safe to do it with the UMS while running Atmosphere?

I always use Hekate UMS when updating Hekate, Atmosphere, and sigpatches. Note that Hekate and Atmosphere are two different things, so when you use Hekate UMS to connect to a computer, phone, etc., you are not running Atmosphere

I know they are different things, Hekate is the bootloader and Atmosphere is a CFW. I probably didn't explain myself well, but what I wanted to know is if you could update Atmosphere (and of course Hekate) running Atmosphere with the MTP server.
I can also use, now that I know it, Hekate's UMS, but for that I have to reboot the console.

I understand what you mean now, sorry about that. I don't think you can overwrite Atmosphere files while running Atmosphere (I think they may be write protected), though I've never tried myself. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than myself can confirm or not

 

[hippy dave]

Right, you can't replace Atmosphere's core files while Atmosphere is running, but you can while Hekate is running.

I always enter in UMS mode by fastCFWswitch, it reboots the console too but it's same faster than opening dbi and enable MTP server.

I've been wondering about that myself - i.e. can I replace the HATS files to update Hekate whilst running Hekate's USB Mass Storage tool to mount the SD to my PC? If anyone can clarify this, that would be much appreciated.

I can confirm that it is possible to update hekate and athmosphere using the Hekate UMS feature. You simply replace the files and reload hekate afterwards to use the new version (there is a reload button in the main menu)

Brilliant - many thanks for confirming that.

Does anyone know how to go about this? I used the "insert_splash_screen.py" script to successfully inject a custom image into package3. It only seems to splash for what seems like less that a second. Is there any way to extend that to maybe 2 or 3 seconds? I'm assuming you might probably need to compile a whole new package3 using AMS source code, and then use THAT package3 in the script. I haven't the shadiest idea on how to go about that. Any ideas?

 

[BaamAlex]

Nope. You just inject it. Here's what i did...download the atmosphere source code (repo or whatever it is called), install python on your pc, put your image into the "img" folder, put the package3 into the "fusee" folder, go back to the ams source root, open cmd (hold shift and right-click) and use the following command: python utilities/insert_splash_screen.py img/splash.png fusee/package3

Yah, I understand all that. I've already successfully injected the image and created a new package3....I was wondering if there was a way to extend the amount of time that the splash screen appears when booting.

 

[BaamAlex]

Afaik no.

I have a question regarding Atmosphere. I'm still using SX OS emunand as files...

My switch is I think on FW 3. something (can't even remember as I don't even use it) but some day I plan to move to atmosphere. I plan to make a clean atmosphere install as Emunand - files.

I don't have the update to use exFat and want to really use exFat, can I simply use my mSD formatted to exFat and just install atmosphere and run it?

On SX OS I think I used Fat32 then updated the firmware with exFat update, then I backed up everything, formatted to exFat, put the backup inside and voila (If I'm even remembering well LOL)...

Try to update with daybreak + new FW + new atmos. If black sscreen will need a fat32 card to install. Once thats done you can run exfat.

Pls don't use exFAT.

 

[guily6669]

I didn't need the tutorials but still thanks.

On SX OS I think it didn't work using exFat at first time because when loading SX OS it just got black if I remember well, just want to know if atmosphere happens the same when starting fresh from a sysnand that doesn't have the exFat update or if atmosphere already has some kind of workaround to that.

It's not a big deal anyway but still good to know so I don't waste time even trying exFat at first time...

Pls don't use exFAT.

exFat is a must for me and I don't mind updating the emunand backup to my PC from time-to-time. Also even though I barely touched my switch in maybe 200 hours of use I never had a single problem with exFat on any of my 3 mSD cards yet.

Answered that in previous post. Black screen or error on boot if no exfat driver.
