I accidentally updated my Nintendo Switch with v1 chip to 12.0. I wanted to try my luck by installing atmosphere but it doesn't work. is there a way to downgrade to 11.0 assuming the device is not booting and has no nand backup etc? Or should I admit it's a brick now?

model code: XAJ10048585018

You seem to at least have messed up your BOOT0 partition.
As far as I recall, BOOT0/BOOT1 depend on the version of the firmware you have running, not on the unique ID of your Switch.
I think I also saw threads about how to fix that and links to images somewhere on pastebin or some other site.

If that doesn't work, you can revive your Switch with another Switch.

There are also threads about that here.
Time to start reading.

That just means your files are not updated. If your console was actually bricked, nothing would happen when you send a payload.

    @nitr8, If you consider open-sourcing this, then I'm sure somebody could point out the bugs for you in the repository, such as walking through step-by-step on what it's doing.
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    I have 2 USB Gecko's. I'm using one for debug printout messages while I use the second one for realtime debugging within Eclipse where I make changes to the code

    @nitr8, Ah good, having two is always handy.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Not sure why you'd want to, but it's a good thing at least.
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    You need two if you want realtime-debugging AND debug printout at the same time. The problem is that GDB (the GNU debugger) needs a connection over a serial port while the other one also needs a connection over a serial port. You cannot send debugging commands and printout messages over the same port. It just wouldn't work. I've tested this.

    I should probably see if I can run this natively on a PC using the original commits where I pulled the code from. Basically the repository is the same but the commits were different when it comes to the main game code and the engine overlay...

    BTW: I saw you mentioned me in the link to the ROTT wall bug where a moving wall exits the game map.

  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    The original developers put an image into the code which would be shown once this bug happens. It's the one you see at the end of the video and it's also the same image I'm using as an avatar.

    Anyway, I hope BLOOD will finally make it's way onto the Wii. I ported DOOM, HERETIC, HEXEN, STRIFE, ROTT and HEXEN II before years ago. I simply cannot imagine that it's too hard to get the game
    running stable.
