IIRC you can't do cloud backups on Atmosphere either so there's another reason to use SXOS.
I've been aware of the concept for years.It had been a long time (a month and a half) that the person who "shared" it did.
It should be noted that all games that used the SDK after the end of November 2020 require Firmware 11.0.1
Yes, there are many games that 11.0.1 requires
The XCI mount still asks for those requirements so SXOS cannot bypass and is a requirement to patch. In addition, we are talking about mounting XCI, not installing the same or another format.
Who needs that. There are already many homebrews that allow you to make a backup on your Local Disks or wherever you want to put it. More secure than in a cloud without privacy and that seem to have closedIIRC you can't do cloud backups on Atmosphere either so there's another reason to use SXOS.

There are no games with a hard 11.0.1 requirement.
If there somehow were, they'd be broken with this, as you're downgrading the only thing that was updated in a meaningful way.
Not my point. My point is this is nothing particularly new and I'm surprised nobody's tried it for this 11.x shit until recently.The credits are for those who publish it.

SX Save Manager and google drive.Can you help me to know how can i do it? i want to save my backups in the clouds, since i have the bad luck that i messed around with my switch a lot, and end up deleting all my data with my saves as well in the sd haha
Linking to package2 binaries isn’t allowed.Hope this helps the newcomers...
A log of the steps I did to go from my hekate+atmosphere microsd with emunand fw 11.0.1 to another microsd with sxos with emunand frankenfw 11.0.1/.0
Goodies:
- BCPKG2 package:
- EmuTool: https://github.com/TheyKilledKenny/Emutool/releases
- NxNandManager: https://github.com/eliboa/NxNandManager/releases ( I used the x64 version )
- lockpick_RCM payload to obtain your prod.keys: https://github.com/shchmue/Lockpick_RCM/releases
Steps:
1. Copy and convert fw 11.0.1 atmosphere emunand from my hekate+atmosphere microsd to an sxos style emunand on another microsd ( sxos microsd ):
- saved my fw 11.0.1 atmosphere emunand from hidden partition style to an atmosphere file style using emutool
- formated sxos microsd and put original 3.1.0 boot.dat and my license.dat files in it
- booted to sxos boot menu and created an emunand, not really needed, only to create the placeholder partition for later overwriting it with emutool
- used emutool to restore my backed up fw 11.0.1 atmosphere emunand from file stye to sxos hidden partition style on sxos microsd
2. Used my hekate+amosphere microsd to launch lockpick_RCM.bin and dumped keys from/using emunand ( since my sysnand is on fw 10... and we need fw 11 keys )
3. Used NxNandManager to replace the 4 partitions on the sxos style emunand on my sxos microsd:
- started NxNandManager and went to Options>Configure keyset and clicked Import keys from file and selected the prod.keys file obtained in step 2. from /switch/ folder on my hekate+atmosphere microsd; I saw the slots filled in and clicked Save
- went to File>Open drive and selected my sxos microsd
- clicked on BCPKG2-1-Normal-Main in Partitions pane and clicked on backup file icon to back it up
- clicked on BCPKG2-2-Normal-Sub in Partitions pane and clicked on backup file icon to back it up
- clicked on BCPKG2-3-SafeMode-Main in Partitions pane and clicked on backup file icon to back it up
- clicked on BCPKG2-4-SafeMode-Sub in Partitions pane and clicked on backup file icon to back it up
- clicked again on BCPKG2-1-Normal-Main in Partitions pane and clicked on restore file icon and selected the equally named file from the package sthetix linked on his twitter and confirmed
- clicked again on BCPKG2-2-Normal-Sub in Partitions pane and clicked on restore file icon and selected the equally named file from the package sthetix linked on his twitter and confirmed
- clicked again on BCPKG2-3-SafeMode-Main in Partitions pane and clicked on restore file icon and selected the equally named file from the package sthetix linked on his twitter and confirmed
- clicked again on BCPKG2-4-SafeMode-Sub in Partitions pane and clicked on restore file icon and selected the equally named file from the package sthetix linked on his twitter and confirmed
4. Booted my switch using the sxos microsd and it is running the franken11 fw, games appear with the cloud symbol ( missing because we didn't copy the nintendo folder yet ) so I powered off the switch and...
5. Copied all 3 folders from /emuMMC/RAW1/Nintendo/ on my hekate+atmosphere microsd to /Emutendo/ on my sxos microsd
I doubt it really! They most likely have informants from here reporting back actually!Is Nintendo following this thread?
