Btw, I've finally found where I saw AutoRCM during the setup. It was when I was backing up eMMC in Hekate -> Tools menu. In the lower-right corner, it says 'Archive bit * AutoRCM'. Now, does this mean autoRCM is turned on? Turned off? Do I let it be? The Homebrew Guide confused me a little, as it first said not to touch autoRCM at all (quote Any homebrew or payloads involving the enabling or disabling of “AutoRCM”), but later on in the guide or perhaps somewhere else online that I was reading said "disable autoRCM". I can't rest it easy when it's there, is all.

 

Have you gone somewhere since then? As far as I understand, the next step is to install emuMMC, but it seems nobody's explained how it's done for ipatched systems yet. Tutorials that do explain it cover the autoRCM and jig methods which we're not supposed to use. If I understand things correctly that is.

I formatted my SD Card to Fat32; what exactly is 32kb clustering and how is that done? The files I got from SDSetup were free, but before I saw the yellow screen there was nothing I'd describe as a 'bug', my Atmosphere installation went just the way it should have gone, without any failures that were covered in the Homebrew Guide in case they happened.

'ChoiDujourNX' is a name I recognise for being a danger to an ipatched Switch. Not that it says anything to me right now.

 

Okay, but I'd like to ensure it never happens rather than find out later I turned it on.

This is what it looks like btw; just took a photo:

I think you should qbRAuy advice from the team atlas nx discord (team atlas nx is the team behind pegascape )

Go to the support channel there.

 

• The "Archive Bit * AutoRCM" is just a tab with more menu options. Hekate will never let you enable AutoRCM on an IPATCHED Switch, so there is no worry of enabling it (from Hekate, YMMV in other homebrew). I'll update the guide to mention this.
• Sleep causing problems sounds like Hekate might be having some problems. I've uploaded a newer Hekate build to SDSetup, could you try redownloading (just click Atmosphere (Kosmos) and hit download, extract to SD and overwrite) and see if that fixes it?
• You should not really use stock in emuMMC at all. Hekate's "stock" is sort of a lie, as it still runs three pieces of CFW that are necessary to make the Switch boot and to make emuMMC work (custom warmboot, custom secmon, emummc kipm). CFW alone won't get you banned, so it's safe to just boot with CFW into a "stock" emuMMC even if you want to go online and don't plan on doing anything detectable. It's probably safer to use full CFW than just some of it since Atmosphere has some anti-telemetry built in.
• Every "good" emuMMC guide I've seen involves wiping the SD card. This is totally unnecessary. Our guide for emuMMC will hopefully be out by tomorrow (not two weeks heh). I've written most of it for Windows at this point, just need to rewrite it for Linux.

 

As per my reply. You need to make sure the SD Card is formatted in FAT32 with 32kb clustering and get the "latest" files from SDSetup. As I previously mentioned, I was downloading files that contained a bug that directly affected 4.1.0 units.

So, this is how I have successfully done it...

1. Go to SDSetup, download Kosmos + PegaScape, with Signature Patches enabled.
2. Follow the Setting up the SD Card - Partitioning portion of https://www.scenefolks.com/pages.php?page=4210
3. Extract the zip from #1.
4. Copy contents from the payloads folder into sd/bootloader/payloads
5. Copy contents of sd into your primary partition (the larger of the two)
6. Insert the SD into the switch and boot into hetake as usual.
7. If you haven't already, DO THIS! https://switch.homebrew.guide/hacking/caffeine/safetyprecautions
8. Once complete, get back to hetake and click on EmuMMC.
9. Click on Create EmuMMC and select SD Partition.
10. Once complete, get press B a few times to get back to the main hetake screen and click reload.
11. Click on EmuMMC to ensure you have enabled in the top left. If not, press Change EmuMMC and select an option from the left.
12. Now, press B a few times to get back to the main hetake screen and click Launch > CFW (Emunand)

If you happen to restart the Switch, you'll boot back into OFW, so you will need to:

• Click on News > ReSwitched.
• Follow instructions (Caffeine, tap textbox, wait 5 seconds and press power)
• In hetake, click on Launch > CFW (Emunand)

There are ways to get around this I think but for my own sanity sake, I do this manually.

Once in CFW (Emunand) you need to make sure you are still on 90DNS, or airplane mode.

Then you can use cartridges to play games, or load them over USB with goldleaf.

Because my Switch came with Crash Team Racing, inserting that and installing it, upgraded my firmware to 7.1.0.

If you were to reboot your switch and Settings > System (before going through ReSwitched etc) you will see the firmware of your Sysnand is still 4.1.0 and after booting into CFW (Emunand) it will be different.

From there, I use choidujournx to install 8.1.0:

• Download choidujournx (https://switchtools.sshnuke.net/)
• Extract and copy ChoiDujourNX.nro to switch folder on SD Card.
• Download the NX-8.1.0.zip
• Create Firmware folder on SD Card.
• Extract NX-8.1.0.zip and copy all files in the folder into the Firmware folder from above.
• Insert the SD Card back into the Switch.
• Boot into CFW (Emunand) and check System > Settings to make sure you see (AMS 0.92) in the firmware version.
• Click home button.
• Hold R and press Album twice.
• Click on choidujournx.
• Click on Choose (bottom right)
• Click on 8.1.0 (or 8.1.0 exfat if you decided to format your SD with exfat)
• Click on Select Firmware (bottom right)
• Note on the left that "Prevent fuse burning (enable AutoRCM)" has a X and on the right, it mentions AutoRCM is disabled due to the device being patched. You do not need to change anything, this is forcibly disabled.
• Once complete, click Reboot.

After clicking Reboot it took me back to hetake, where I selected Launch > CFW (emunand)

Now you will be on 8.1.0 on Emunand but 4.1.0 on Sysnand.

Installing games can be done using Goldleaf. Plenty of tutorials etc on that around these parts.

HTH

Oh... And, if you have problems with homebrew showing nothing, delete the Switch folder, boot into CFW (emunand) and load hbmenu.

Once you have done this, you can copy the contents of the switch folder from the SDSetup files back into the switch folder on the SD Card and it should work.

 

Hi Francesca!!

Im completely noob on Switch's Scene, and i've an ipatched 4.1.0 switch, like yours.
I've readed a few guides on how to install Atmosphere and emummc, but not followed anyone yet (i hope to get time to do it in a few weeks).

The only thing that i didnt understand is if this is a tethered method, so, if console gets battery depleted, is mandatory to reach PegaScape over internet to had Hetake again??

Thanks in advance for your response, and for share your experiences!!!
