Hey guys

So this is me

SX OS latest

OFW 6.2

I want to switch to atmosphere and i have seemingly installed its payload, but all my NSPs do not work.

I have looked around and there is a lot of info and patches sigpatches etc but im sure there is a surefire way of getting to the end of this. Could someone point me in the right direction

I have loaded into Atmosphere and can run homebrew, no worries.

BTW i dont have any idea what hektake or reinx etc is :) if that helps.

Sorry I don't know how to help, but I'm curious as to why you're switching?

There's no compatible sigpatches yet, we will have to wait a couple of hours/days.

You need hekate (the bootloader) to launch Atmosphere. ReiNX is another CFW, very outdated and featureless, don't even think about it.

You need to install the sigpatches from here https://gbatemp.net/threads/i-heard-that-you-guys-need-some-sweet-patches-for-atmosphere.521164

If you are an SX pro user like myself, just copy all your files to your microSD card and launch the CFW using the SX OS Pro dongle to send the payload.

You need sigpatches to use nsps
Since you seem to be new to switch hacking i would reccomend you download this and extract it onto your sd card

Hey so

If i did this from this thread

https://gbatemp.net/threads/use-atmosphere-to-access-full-ram-with-homebrews-without-nsp.521240/

"
  1. Download the latest release of Atmosphère here, as well as fusee-primary.bin : https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases
  2. Extract the ZIP to the root of your SD card
  3. Download the latest release of the hbmenu here : https://github.com/switchbrew/nx-hbmenu/releases
  4. Put hbmenu.nro to the root of your SD card
  5. Download the latest release of hbloader here : https://github.com/switchbrew/nx-hbloader/releases
  6. Put hbl.nsp in the atmosphere folder of your SD card"
Ive done this-does that mean hekate is running?

Cool, i will do this. but im also interested to know, that is using Hekate? No matter how much ive read about "hekate" i still cannot find out what exactly it does or what uses it. Is it just in the background of all of these CFWs?

Hekate is a bootloader for the switch not a backround for cfw

More like godmode9

Right
got it!

So with the link you showed im doing it all now, and yet again that pesky "hekate" thing comes up

How to use:

  1. Download Hekate or use the payload that comes with the package
  2. Download the latest release
  3. Start Hekate through e.g. Fusée Gelée, TegraRcmSmash or WebCFWLoader
  4. ???
  5. Profit!

Just to confirm, this means, load up switch with the jig etc, and in the sx os (what im using for payload loading) load the file called "hekate_ctcaer_4.6_svc.bin" as the payload?

Use tegra rcm gui for and inject it when your in rcm (after you used the jig)

    I would like a Predator game "Kill Team" it takes place in the Jungle of the first movie, your team is sent to hunt the predator, using current tech drones and a trained team. Set traps use strategy to hunt and trap or kill the predator.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Ill stick with my Battlefield. Yea a predator hunting game like that would be cool. Esp if you can be Arnold and say "Get to da choppa"

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I went today and looked at a motorcycle someone was selling. I get there and the battery on it was dead, so the guy grabbed a battery charger and hooked it up. He plugged it into the wall, and the motorcycle sparked and started smoking. Come to find out the bike uses a 6 volt battery and the guy had the charger set to 12v. I said sorry to the dude and walked away. I felt bad for him tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Sounds like it would be an exciting ride....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure I would want something on fire between my legs
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    He ruined it basically. Sad cause it was a decent old bike. It would take more money to rewire the bike than it was worth tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I'm sure at minimum the starter was fried
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Alternator and battery
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Prob alot of fried parts. It was still smoking when I left.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I would've said show me how it rides

    I always wanted one of those Smart Cars with a Hyabusa motor in it.
