How to use Hekate 4.2 with Atmosphere 0.8.x on 6.2 Firmware

Okay this is fairly simple tutorial, but there have been people asking in discord what to do to get this running so I figured I would type this up.

This process assumes you have run hekate previously and have used an older version of atmosphere
Patches are required to add full functionality. Get them here


SD FILES UPDATED. GET THEM FROM :arrow: HERE


Process:

1) Download Atmosphere from here. Make sure you download both the .zip files and the .bin file, this is very important.
2) Override your previous atmosphere folder, bct.ini and fusee-secondary.bin on your sd card
3) Copy fusee-primary.bin to sd:/bootloader/payloads and override the previous file
4) Edit your hekate_ipl.ini to look like the following. (you can add a new entry or just modify the existing cfw one)

Code:
[Atmosphere 6.2 CFW]
payload=bootloader/payloads/fusee-primary.bin

5) Save and close the ini.
6) Put your Micro SD back into your switch
7) Launch hekate with hekate_ctcaer_4.2.bin and choose your newly edited cfw option and enjoy :)[/INFORMATION]

Cause you are trying to load old atmosphere with new payload. get the old one and rename it to fusee-old.bin instead of fusee-primary. (That's if the new secondary even works with the old primary)

As I stated at the start, this is meant to those who have upgraded not those who want to dual boot with old and new

I know I'll try to do what you said Thank you, your tutorial works great. It was just curiosity.

For the first line of code will it be the same if I put 5.1 instead of 6.2 since my switch isn’t up to date.

so My friend has 6.2 stock on a pre patched console and wants me to load cfw on it. Will I be able to load hekate and back up his 6.2 nand and fuse/tsec keys using hekate?

(( Adding to Adran's info. ))

Note: Only the following has to be added in the hekate_ipl.ini
Code:
[Atmosphere 6.2 CFW]
payload=bootloader/payloads/fusee-primary.bin
The fusee-primary.bin handles everything else, and any lines following that in the section will not matter afaik.

For example, I use Kosmos but Hekate isn't updated (yet) to support 6.2 - we use Hekate to boot Atmosphere's fusee-primary.bin which nullifies that, honestly.

This is my current hekate_ipl.ini - treat it as an example. I'm set to autoboot 1, which will launch fusee-primary.bin; in extension, that launches Atmosphere.
Code:
[config]
autoboot=1
autoboot_list=0
bootwait=2
customlogo=1
verification=2
backlight=100
autohosoff=0
{ }
{-- Custom Firmwares --}
{ }
{Atmosphere v0.8.1}
{ }
[Atmosphere CFW]
payload=bootloader/payloads/fusee-primary.bin
{ }
{Kosmos v11.0.1}
{ }
[Kosmos CFW]
kip1=modules/required/loader.kip
kip1=modules/required/pm.kip
kip1=modules/required/sm.kip
kip1=modules/required/fs_mitm.kip
secmon=modules/required/exosphere.bin
kip1patch=nosigchk
atmosphere=1
{ }

You would also need the kip ips patches for fusee if using fusee as your bootloader.

For the first line of code will it be the same if I put 5.1 instead of 6.2 since my switch isn’t up to date.

for 5.1 you need the old files atmosphere 0.7.5 which you can get preconfigured from sdsetup. The default listing for the sd setup files is just CFW and loads atmosphere 0.7.5

so My friend has 6.2 stock on a pre patched console and wants me to load cfw on it. Will I be able to load hekate and back up his 6.2 nand and fuse/tsec keys using hekate?

If it is a new ipatched console then you will need to wait for warmboot, sorry.

You would also need the kip ips patches for fusee if using fusee as your bootloader.

did you mean the es and fs patches for atmosphere? cause if you should already have them if you had the previous version of atmosphere running

This is awesome, thank you.

Back to autobooting.

No worries :)

ES patches are the same for hekate and for fusee. I'm talking about the kip patches. With hekate, you load them through the config via "kip1=modules/etc.kip". With fusee you use ips patches. Or so I've been told.
