I find this whole thread confusing. Your chip loads /payload.bin. If /payload.bin happens to be hekate, then simply selecting reboot from the power menu, will reboot the console to nyx. I've done this since chipping my OLED. I seriously don't understand what the issue is/was. I've used the firmware here since the beginning. This hekate loader is useless for a chipped Switch. Unless you just *have to* be able to reboot, while docked, from across the room, with a pro controller...

Can I suggest a power off option?

Now I'm using the OFF-switch from ITotalJustice with a forwarder:

https://github.com/ITotalJustice/Off-Switch

In my unpatched erista I had the power off payload and launched vía fastCFWswitch.

I'll try with an entry in the hekate_ipl.ini... Studious Pancake should list it.
interesting, so see if it works and post the result here.

So here's a question, the reason why fastcfwswitch DOESNT FULLY WORK on Mariko is because Mariko doesn't support the payload that would contain the instruction on what to do after reboot.

So if that's the case, why not save the instructions to the SDcard (like the bootid, or UMS) with a flag, that would be reset after it's executed.

I'm aware it would require changes to fastcfwswitch as well as a PR to hekate but it seems possible.

Okay once i set this up on my OLED switch , how do i change it so one of the options boots to the Hekate menu without going into UMS mode in Hekate?
Hey everyone, following up on this as i'm still not sure how to do this. There is an option to reboot to UMS mode in Hekate but i want to add an option to boot into Hekate without UMS, how can I do this?

You can set up a boot option on your hekate_ipl for hekate payload so when you load it up with studious pancake it reboot into hekate.

Okay, so how exactly do I do this? My my hekate_ipl.ini file located in the bootloader folder has the following in it:

[config]
autoboot=0
autoboot_list=0
bootwait=0
verification=1
backlight=100
autohosoff=2
autonogc=0
updater2p=1

[SEMI-STOCK (SYSMMC)]
fss0=atmosphere/package3
stock=1
emummc_force_disable=1
icon=bootloader/res/stock.bmp
{}

[CFW (SYSMMC)]
fss0=atmosphere/package3
kip1patch=nosigchk
emummc_force_disable=1
icon=bootloader/res/sysnand.bmp
{}

[CFW (EMUMMC)]
fss0=atmosphere/package3
kip1patch=nosigchk
emummcforce=1
icon=bootloader/res/emummc.bmp
{}

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

    It does that when I edit a post.

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
