How to get Atmosphere running

[NEO-BAHAMUT-]

Hi All,

I've got myself a V1 switch which i used to use TX on (Before they stopped). I still have the TX USB dongle and also the jig. Can I use the USB dongle for atmosphere or is it deprecated now and cant be used?

Yes you can use the Dongle for Atmosphère, you need to change the payload.bin file on the root of your SD card.

You have to convert the payload to boot.dat if you want to use that SX dongle.

You can refer to that thread.

OK, ive been out of it for a while. Stupid question but just to confirm, The payload is on the SX dongle? That payload file needs converting so that it works with the atmosphere boot.dat file which will go on my micro usb?

The dongle use boot.dat format payload, so you need to convert fusee.bin to boot.dat in order to use it.

Sorry about this. Can anyone give me some help here.

I have the Team Xecute dongle which and jig which looks like this.

I also have a blank MicroSD card. I dont have any of the TX firmware files or anything like that.

From what I can understand I need to alter the file that lives on the TX dongle? Then copy some files to my SD card?

Wrap up from previous posts:
You need to look here for how to update your dongle:

(Alternatively, use your phone or PC as rcm device if you find it complicated.)

for the preperation of your SD-card and next steps...

Ok. Is it possible for someone to step by step through this with me please? I've done the following so far and I keep getting the "Boot.dat?" red error. I'm guessing its not giving me a boot.dat that works fine.

1. Installed Python 3
2. Gone to this link and downloaded all the contents
https://github.com/ELY3M/sx-custom-boot.dat-maker
3. It says i should then be able to run
"in cmd line, just run python build_boot.dat.py fusee-primary.bin"

This isn't working. So i click the "build_boot.dat_hekate.py" and it does generate a file. This is what appears to be the wrong boot.dat file.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

You can use the "Official" way:

https://rentry.org/mys8q

Download https://web.archive.org/web/20210217231219/https://sx.xecuter.com/download/SX_Gear_v1.1.zip, extract it to the sd card root.
From the original Hekate package extrac hekate_ctcaer_x.x.x.bin and copy to sd card root as payload.bin


That's all, the new boot.dat will load any file called "payload.bin" on the sd card root.
