oh.. thanks I didn't notice this..

I'm using fusee-primary.bin not hekate and after I press Y to uninstall.. tinfoil seems working fine.. I just tried to remove the kosmos files I found left even after I let tinfoil uninstall kosmos and I add atmosphere only again to see if I get the error or not.. and I got it..

edit: nevermind, I made new atmosphere clean install and didn't get the error.. seems I might add some kosmos files the second try..

Atmosphere 0.89 states that it has support for 8.0.0, this may be a stupid question. But the files for the 8.0.1 update are currently available to download in various places. Does that mean that this version of Atmosphere works with 8.0.1 also?

I only ask because usually they hold off with releasing the firmware until CFQ works for it. Thanks!

8.0 and 8.0.1 are extremely similar so I can see why they didn't mention it supports 8.0.1 but for future reference, if anything states it works on firmware 8.0, it also works on firmware 8.0.1. So yes, Atmosphere supports firmware 8.0.1 as well.

one final question for now,
since its a XAW1002xxxx model its unpatched and ok regardless of the firmware version correct? what cfw would you recomend? i have a few games already and want to make sure i like it before i get to crazy into it. for today i just want to make a jig and test out before i venture farther. dump a game try it out maybe watch a movie?

RCMloader is to send payloads like cfw and other OS mods (for the more advanced seems)
SDcard is for homebrew and appstore stuff and of course all other data pertaining to the switch
the jig is to get in to rcm mode.
(i am a ediot, i know)

do i have the above correct?
and again thanx to all that help

ReiNX is the easiest free CFW to setup and maintain while Atmosphere has more options but may not be intuitive to the user. There are 2 different ways of setting up Atmosphere, either with its intended bootloader Fusee or via Kosmos which packages Hekate as the bootloader plus homebrew applications and signature patches. SX OS is the only CFW you have to pay for and although they have some features that are exclusive to them such as .XCI file loading, HDD support, or EmuNAND, some of those features are being integrated into free CFW namely HDD support and EmuNAND making SX OS slowly irrelevant in the Switch scene.

RCMloader is a dongle that injects payloads as opposed to your computer or cell phone. SD card is where everything goes ranging from CFW to homebrew to backups. The jig is to enter RCM (the M in RCM stands for mode). AutoRCM can remove the need for a jig once its enabled because it "bricks" your console causing it to AUTOmatically enter RCM although it is reversible.

Can probably just use Tinfoil 1.55 if you want, Blawar removed support for Hekate/Kosmos users in Tinfoil 1.56 and forward due to a disagreement between Kosmos developer and himself.

That sounds kinda childish from blawar so could you link the context please?

Because you cannot apply ACID patches with Kosmos/Hekate meaning .XCI files installed with blawar's tool will never work so rather than deal with people who struggle to install .XCI files with a certain pack, just cut out support for the problem pack entirely. Or at least that is why I think he is doing it.

Thank you. Do i need backup or prepare any thing before I jailbreak it ?
1. Backup original ?
2. Disabled Update and connect to Nintendo Server
3. Jailbreak ?
Is it correct ?
1) Backup clean SysNAND with Hekate before doing any modification.
2) Never connect your switch to the internet when you ran CFW on NAND. Only clean SysNAND is safe for online.
3) Start here: https://guide.sdsetup.com

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
