SX OS is not recommended on iPatched units. It lacks some important safety features.
But to answer your question, you can put anything you want as the caffeine payload, it doesn't have to be Hekate.

do you have a guide for the ipatched 4.1 from the start step by step?
i will really apreciate that
thanks

Uh, using SX on a patched console is a really bad idea.
But replace sd:/atmosphere/reboot_payload.bin (which is what caffeine loads) with a copy of the SX payload.

Bad idea? Why?

It’s not intended to run on them and doesn’t have some of the protections that AMS/hekate have (like preventing you from enabling autoRCM, and forcefully disable it if it detects that it’s enabled)

I realized i just need to copy past the NSP files instead install 1 by one...this is the reason... otherwise the atmosphere worked fantastic..i have updated my version and all the games worked...

You sure it’s the right file and you named it correctly (“reboot_payload.bin”)?

Yes, i tried a several time with 2 payloads...

Hm, well, what’s wrong with just having it be hekate and having hekate auto-launch your payload of choice?

i went looking and I find nothing saying sxos 2.9.3 supports i patched units. I found info that sxos 3.0 will but that has not yet been publicly released. question. Forget about emunand. If you just take the dongle plug it in and power up your switch are you getting to sxos cfw? Or are you scared to do this basically? I imagine if that black screens then that would be your answer. As long as you leave switch set to offline before booting up (just clear your wifi settings) and then wipe data I see no harm in doing this. But without you confirming it works and since I lack a patched unit to test with I would have to say I think the behavior you are seeing is because the latest 2.9.3 bin does not support ipatched switch. Has anyone here claimed it is working? Maybe I missed a post or something.

actually found this:

"For those who have enhanced version Switch, Switch Lite and Patched Switch units, sorry, but SX OS V2.9.3 isn’t working on them."

so there you have it folks. Google is indeed your friend. Good info to know and all but yeah.

Meh, the only difference between patched and unpatched units is a few bootrom instructions and some data is stored a bit differently in prodinfo & the fuses. It should work just fine.
I'm guessing it's something funky with SX's shitty hardware initialization + warmboots (or this guy messed up something *shrugs*).

this is referencing patched units above 4.1... with caffeine, you can use it to launch any payload. The one I gave to a family member has had sx os on it before, as well as hekate and atmos

I just want to know which files do i need to copy to my card..
I have an Ipatched console that can not payload with rcm loader,just with caffein.
I did the payload to hekate in success but now i want to use SX OS instead.
I have no problem to delete all the files from my card and start over from the beginning.
If someone have the list for those file i will be happy
Thanks

Is this not working for you?

https://switch.homebrew.guide/usingcfw/hekate#configuring-auto-boot-with-hekate

It shouldn't matter whether you are using fusee gelee or another exploit to load hekate, you just need to setup hekate to autoboot sx os. If you get stuck then it might be worth looking for a thread about that to avoid people telling you not to use sx os on 4.1

If you can share with me the files i need to copy it will be great
I got lost from all the information
Thanks

Once you have a SX OS configuation, like this one.

https://gist.github.com/lordfriky/66ae0e7d36c528a14a635bc97982c492

Then you should be able to make it auto by following https://switch.homebrew.guide/usingcfw/hekate#configuring-auto-boot-with-hekate

This is probably a better thread to ask on if you get stuck.
