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.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card

    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
