How to set up emuNAND with Atmosphere on Mariko
What you'll need:
Setup:
Before you begin:
- You will need a 64gb SD card or bigger!
- You will need to disable automated backing up of your save data.
- To do this, go to
⚙️Settings
🠆Data Management
🠆Save Data Cloud
🠆Settings
and disableAutomatically Back Up Save Data
andAutomatically Download Save Data
.
- To do this, go to
- Make sure you back up all of your files on your SD card to your PC and then delete them off your SD card!
- This is very important, because your SD card needs to be empty!
- Once you have completed setting up your device, ensure that you never format your SD card to exFAT.
- exFAT users are more likely to experience SD card corruption than FAT32 users.
- Make sure to read this so that you may later decide on which EmuNAND type to pick.
Step 1.
Extract these files into the root of your SD card:
SX_Gear_v1.1.zip
- (Skip this if you use a HWFLY modchip)hekate_ctcaer_x.x.x_Nyx_x.x.x.zip
atmosphere-x.x.x-master.zip
SigPatches.zip
Step 2.
Rename hekate_ctcaer_x.x.x.bin
to payload.bin
.
Place the file named fusee.bin
in your /bootloader/payloads/
folder.
Create a file named hekate_ipl.ini
inside of your /bootloader/
folder and paste this within the file:
Create the file exosphere.ini
in the root of your SD card and paste this inside
(this step is needed in order to blank your prodinfo so that you can avoid having your switch be banned):
Afterwards create a file named default.txt
in /atmosphere/hosts/
(the hosts
folder won't exist, so make sure to create it)
and paste this in your default.txt
file (this step is prevents you from connecting to Nintendo's servers):
