Hacking RELEASE Kosmos - A Hekate CFW-package

Is Gag-Order neccessary for 1.0?!

gag order is only necessary if youre running linux thru shoelf

if i remove sd card while on sleep to add more games, do i need to go thru the whole rcm thing again?

Never remove the sd card like this. Everything that was written before a fsync was issued, will be corrupted.
Always switch off the device (except if it has unmount USB/SD card option), whatever it is. TV, phone, console, etc.

Has a sleep fix been made for 3.0.0 yet?

Not yet. Even though config seems fine now.

Switch's filesystem service has this bug since ever.

Connect your sd card to a windows PC and select everything inside.
Right click, properties, advanced, disable "folder/file is ready for archiving". Done.

Is this only if the files were put on the card with Windows in the first place, or does it happen anyway? If the latter, is there a way to unset that flag from *nix/macos?
e: seen your answer elsewhere about mattrib.

Normally only windows does this, because it's a msdos attribute flag.
But other os can some times create incompatible flags.

To remove this bit on another os, either you reset all the attributes with the os tool, or you use mtools.

The problem is that I reported that bug (because it can't be used for exploits) to Nintendo since update 3.0.2 and they never fixed it.
If they did, you would not see any posts in reddit like this: "I upgraded my sd card and copied back the Nintendo folder but no game or album photo show up." or "switch says there was a problem with sd card, please reboot".
Or here, no homebrew shows up.

Good info, thanks. Guess that doesn't count as "stability".

Yes. Which is stupid. Because they are countless people out there in reddit and nintendo forums that have legit-normal_use problems (upgrading sd card and copying back files).

Nope, it is something that was introduced with 4.x (If Im correct ._.)

It Crashed when docked and start a emulator.

Can you fix that?

 

[XtremeTemp]

So I dont want to lose anything, so just replace atmosphere folder altogether, and then replace these certain files:

In /switch/

And the rest of the files in the root of the sd card
And everything should work? Without me having to reinstall all homebrew/lose progress? Thanks for any answers.

Yeah, you can just replace every file ._.

Is there any crash error id?

It's something that was introduced with 4.x and blocks nearly all functions until you update

@tomGER did you make any modification to the loader sysmodule? I'm getting a black screen when using my own build.

 

[TheKrane]

Thanks for compiling this. Now I don't have to worry about my switch going into sleep mode.

I just saw this. Has the problem with the switch not waking up from sleep really been fixed?

EDIT: Just tested this. This is awesome! Now I can take my homebrew switch on the go.

AFAIK it's an old build because a new build needs Exosphere.

Yup it did ^^

Yeah, as Brawl said - Exosphere is a custom sm for Atmosphere that (currently) doesn't work with hekate - I have someone that made it actually work without exosphere though (But we will not use that custom exosphere-less version until there is some valid reason to it as it doesn't add anything (except probably some bugs))

 

[Gillou68310]

Thanks for the info! Is there any sources out there? Or are we just using those pre-compiled kip1 files blindly?

There is the open source code you could say is the source but yeah, you're kinda trusting me blindly here ^^' There is no real solution to that though

 

[Astoria]

Does appstore work for anyone on 5.1.0?

Controls don't work for me, both the touchscreen and buttons do nothing.

Ok thanks anyway

 

[CTCaer]

there

There is a way though.

A repo with all sources. And a makefile that traverses the projects, compiles them and copies the binaries to root dir.
And there you add the commit that removes exo api check (and a new branch on hbmenu that has the master commits and merges the touch PR):

    rc = splInitialize();
    if (R_FAILED(rc))  {
        fatalSimple(0xCAFE << 4 | 3);
    }
   
    /* Check for exosphere API compatibility. */
    u64 exosphere_cfg;
    if (R_FAILED(splGetConfig((SplConfigItem)65000, &exosphere_cfg))) {
        fatalSimple(0xCAFE << 4 | 0xFF);
        /* TODO: Does Loader need to know about target firmware/master key revision? If so, extract from exosphere_cfg. */
    }
