Hacking What's Your Setup?

[Deleted User]

Just curious. Put in your bootloader, exploit, cfw, and anything else you think is relevant. If possible, explain the reasons why you have said setup.

Internal Trinket M0 mod with Hekate 4.2.
AutoRCM enabled.
Hekate autoboots SXOS 2.2.

This is the best possible setup IMO.

Pros:

• No jig or dongle needed.
• Easily boot OFW through Hekate (saves fuses)
• Fully powers off with Hekate payload

Cons:

• Perfection leaves no room for improvement

@Freezerbomb I have exactly the same setup.

 

[Aldoria]

SX OS 2.2 with 128GB SD Card
AutoRCM
Using my computer or phone to turn on the Switch
FW 6.0.0

 

[maxx488]

Tegra x1 1.0ghz 4gb ram 720p lcd screen 32gb hdd running horizon 6.1 sxos 2.2 patch and sx gear

 

[scroeffie]

sx os 2.2 2tb external

 

[slaphappygamer]

Naked switch with, 200gb microsd, and sx pro. My switch is 5.10, or was it 5.0.1.

 

[lordelan]

6.0.1 Switch + 400 GB mSD FAT32
SX Pro dongle which autoboots hekate 4.2 (from SDfiles) which autoboots Atmosphère with sigpatches and stuff.
Shiekah homescreen theme
hbmenu and RetroArch are installed as NSP
n1dus + NSPsplit script for new games

 

[wolfidroid]

Sxos 2.0.1, horizon 6.0.0, sx gear.

 

[aerios169]

SX so emunand, 6.0.1 and SD with 200gb

I am pretty much running the same setup as maxx488...

Tegra x1 1.0ghz 4gb ram 720P lcd screen and a 32gb hdd running horizon 5.1. I also have an extra set of Joycon Controllers and a Charging Station as well as this fine looking dock that I can put my Switch in to play games on my TV...It really is a nice setup


On a more serious note:

I am running 2 different Nands, one Clean and one Hacked. Both currently sitting at FW 5.1. Using 2 different SD Cards awell.

1 64Gb exfat formatted SD Card for main use. Runs ReiNX 1.7 through Hekate 4.2.
1 16GB FAT formatted SD Card for use with RetoArch. Also has ReiNX 1.7, but primarily runs Atmosphere 0.7

Both are booted through TegraRCMGui through Laptop/Desktop (whatever currently suits my needs).

Sorry for a noob question but how do you make Hekate autoboot SX OS or other external payloads?

Sorry for a noob question but how do you make Hekate autoboot SX OS or other external payloads?

You can launch payloads by adding "payload=bootloader/payloads/payload.bin" to your hekate_ipl.ini file.

Here's what mine looks like:

[config]
autoboot=1
autoboot_list=0
bootwait=0
customlogo=0
verification=2
backlight=100
autohosoff=1

{-- Custom Firmwares --}
[SXOS]
payload=bootloader/payloads/SXOS.bin
{ }

Thanks!

Finally joined GBATemp because I've been lurking long enough and this post was inviting, so here's my setup...

• BOOT0/BOOT1/NAND (backup of my Switch in airplane mode with no wireless networks—before any hacking)
• CTCaer Hekate bootloader
• AutoRCM enabled
• Memloader payload (slightly more convenient than taking the SD card out)
• Atmosphere 0.7.3
• EasyPower (faster than holding the power button)
• EdiZon (best save manager in my opinion)
• RetroArch

Now for the good stuff:

Obviously, AutoRCM can be a pain in the ass if you power down (be it intentionally or kernel panic), so I am turning a Raspberry Pi Zero W (the model with wireless capabilities) into your not-so-average-payload-injector. Since the Pi Zero supports being powered over both USB ports, I'm able to then use software to take care of the rest—all over a single USB cable (no power banks or being tethered anywhere).

That software is this: (gitlab's website)/relatived/rpi-nx-rcm

In summary, it just pushes your payload.bin in the vFAT partition (/boot, readable by most OSes) as soon as it is able to detect that a Switch in RCM mode is plugged in. This is a very nice alternative to the commercial products available, and it's a tier above all the other injectors in luxury because it's live-programmable (as opposed to flashing an Arduino).

...but it doesn't stop there.

I also run hostapd on it to create a wireless access point for the Switch. I actually store this on another SD card because I need the USB port for something else. The way I have Raspbian configured is to accept wireless connections and bridge them to the USB Ethernet device that my Pi Zero emulates. I do this because I want to FTP into my Switch so I can make testing my own software go a little bit faster. I have full control over the Switch's Internet access, kind of like a walled garden — such as those you'd find in hotels. I can easily serve up DNS and reject attempts that the Switch makes to phone home, and can conditionally enable/disable outside services. It's also useful for viewing the packets being sent to-and-fro, possibly opening the door for 443 SSL/TLS blocking and live data spoofing, all from a cheap "$5.00" computer.

If other RCM payload injectors aren't doing this, they're losing! So yeah, that's my setup. I haven't went online AT ALL since hacking, no changes in fuse burning, so hopefully that NAND dump I made is all I need to make this all just a bad dream.

Edit:
I also pledge to never pirate a single Switch game until all of it becomes abandonware.

Excuse me, but how can I install Hekate on SXOS exactly? Sorry, I'm new in this, so can you help me step by step, please

You need to download SX Loader. So it's not possible to autoboot to SX OS if you have SX Pro dongle.

I just ordered a Trinket M0 based on this post. Do you have good guide I can follow?
