Hacking New user to switch. Athmosphere or deepsea fw?

[Bigdrago]

Hi everyone!
Just got myself switch oled. I want to install custom fw. I am new to switch and the information online is overwhelming.

I got the 512gb sdcard as well.
What do you recommend? Download athmosphere from their website arhmosphereswitch.com or DeepSea https://github.com/Team-Neptune/DeepSea ?
I would like to install it as emunand.

Anyone could point me to the right direction? and to not get banned I read somewhere there is an incognito package? But that will be my next step

I have never heard of that website. Atmosphere is available via GitHub as far as I know, and it's definitely the one I would recommend:

https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases

Deepsea is just an aio pack of atmosphere and other homebrews. I'll also mention that deepsea hasn't been updated. I'd I remember correctly the dev of the aio dropped it

You know that to install CFW on Oled you first need to install a modchip, and that chip require advanced/expert soilder job?
A good place for info is
https://switch.hacks.guide/

BTW, I know nothing about DeepSea. Athmosphere is by far the most popular chose

Yes, definitely go to the official github repo. That other site (atmosphereswitch dot com) reeks of AI bullshit.

Heed this. OLED modchip installs are no walk in the park, ask an experienced installer.

Picofly is ordered fro aliexpress and a chipfix shop nearby will install it
I will download the athmosphere from github then.

Try to never use a All in One package, read the guide https://rentry.org/SwitchHackingIsEasy and download and install all software you like manually.

For base you need:

https://github.com/CTCaer/Hekate/releases
https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases
https://gbatemp.net/download/sys-patch-1-5-2-binary-fw-18-1-0-atmosphere-1-7-1.38686/
https://gbatemp.net/threads/sigpatches-for-atmosphere-hekate-fss0-fusee-package3.571543/

then look into the homebrew you like, download from the original repo and install them

by example, latest tesla and overlays:

Thank you! Have a lot to read now.
What about tinfoil?

For me is the worst homebrew around and you should stay away year-lights from it, that install thinks on your console with your knowledge.

but, what I know I am only a cranky old dude.

I use dbi (https://github.com/rashevskyv/dbi)

Note that repo only has DBI v658, which is in English and still works great, but may have issues with newer 18.0+ games. As of this posting, latest version is v675 but is only available in Russian.

Imo, tinfoil was only good for the freeshops. But since they're gone/nearly impossible to get into, it ain't worth it

Also old, not that cranky. Just share your wisdom...

I do have some 18+ games, luckily no problems yet! Otherwise I might have to learn Russian...

What about using Incognito homebrew?

no needed today, use Atmosphère Prodinfo blank if you like.

What about using Incognito homebrew?

You don't need it if you set up your hosts correctly.

setup DNS-MITM to block server communication.https://rentry.org/ExosphereDNSMITM
