I am currently on 8.1.0 using Atmosphere. I don't remember how to update to the latest firmware or if there is even a need. I want to be able to play the new friends of mineral town as well as the Mario classics bundle(64,Sunshine, and galaxy) as well as any new games. Thanks guys.

Get the latest Atmosphere file, Hekate file, and signature patches, and firmware file from darthsternie

https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases/tag/0.19.5
https://github.com/ITotalJustice/patches/releases/tag/12.1.0-0.19.5-r2
https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate/releases/tag/v5.5.8

Load up Hekate, use its SD card mounting feature, replace your atmosphere, hekate file, and fusee signature patches, create a folder on root of the SD card and drop the firmware update files in there, load up Atmosphere, load daybreak and start your update, after update restart unit. As for if you need help with hekate.ipl follow link below.

I'm trying to use this to update using the AIO updater found on here(can't post links because I am new) But I am getting Error code : 2349-0008 . I am on Atmosphere 0.92-master-0d840e19. Firmware 8.1.0.

Depends a bit on your usage of cfw:
If you have a cfw setup for online play, so no backups or to the home menu installed homebrews, you can just drop the newest atmosphere version on the SD card and use either a current hekate version or fusee primary to boot th current cfw.
Then you can just update the switch like you would update a stock switch, by going online and updating in the system settings.

If you use any backups or to the home menu installed homebrews through, you will need to use the way already mentioned, too also update the signature patches and use daybreak to update.

delete the old folder and replace them.
Hekate.zip and fusee.zip look identical. I've done everything else so I assume I should just slide the card back into my switch and everything will be dandy?

I'm confused. I have my sysnand on an old firmware to use fakenewshax. On the emunand I have 8.1.0. I also have nintendo DNS blocked so I can't update just like a normal switch.

Found Firmware update files. Is 12.1 compatible?

The links I gave you use fusee patches setup.

It says that fusee.zip and hekate.zip are identical in the notes of the link you gave me. I really hope this doesn't break my switch lol.

Also why not use ChoiDujourNX ? Is that obsolete?

ChoidujourNX corrupt boot0, you will brick if you do choidujourNX on a patched or mariko unit.

Emmunand isn't booting anymore after I updated atmosphere.

Did you also update your fusee primary.bin?

Yes. Before I would get a hekate screen where I could choose my payload or chose sysnand or emunand. Now it just boots straight into emunand and none of my backups work.

First you need to figure out what bootloader and patches set you want to use, you have to take a look at your hekate.ipl, the one I gave you use fusee primary as bootloader with fusee patches, if you want to use hekate to load fusee secondary.bin you need hekate/fss0 build. There are two different bootloader and two different patches set.

What folder does fusee-primary.bin go in? Before I would boot to hekate and choose cfw emunand cfw sysnand or normal emunand. Now it just goes straight into emunand but backups do not load.

You need to understand what bootloader and patches you are using, using Hekate/fss0 build with fusee patches your game won't boot, vice versa, where you have to look at your hekate.ipl

What happened though? Why would updating atmosphere cause this?

file corruption, bad game file maybe, typically it will check the game files if the patches are correct, if not it might throw a cloud, also depends on your SD card format, exFAT is more corruption prone than FAT32.
