That was really quick! Same goes for the sigpatches and sys-patch module, the people behind the scene are surely quick to update everything back to proper working order.

I saw a 1 star review for "Mars: Mars " and yuzu on playstore

They said it lacked atmosphere.

You can, you just have to load through Hekate, which at this point I don't know why someone would load Atmosphere through any other means.

Correct! You need to use Hekate (to load signature patches) or Sys-Patch.

Yeah well for me fusee is working miles better, even when I was on FW 15.0.1 or something I could play most FW17 games.

And I also like the blue background of starting atmosphere.

Now I updated Sigpatches for latest Hekate and changed to fss0 but all games above my FW don't work while just going back to Hekate fusee payload method I can play all 17+FW required games on currently my 16.1.0 FW emunand file based.

Reinstalling a game with fss0 is the same it only works for games up to my FW, I need a workaround for this or I will just keep using fusee payload for as long as possible and also keep FW 16.1.0 for as long as it can run all higher FW games...

There is no discernable difference between booting atmosphère through fusée and Hekate. The "Hekate is broken" meme comes from a dev's personal vendetta who disabled his software when it would detect a hekate-specific file. Just keep your shit updated, re-read the guides and everything will work just as it does for others

After a couple days of Nintendo releasing their 18.0.0 firmware update, @SciresM releases a brand new update to his Atmosphere NX custom firmware for the Nintendo Switch, with the new version being a pre-release v1.7.0, which adds basic support for firmware 18.0.0, as well as adding some improvements and bugfixes along the way.

The changelog for version pre-1.7.0 is the following:

Interesting change for sure. I find that as a respectful take.

I haven't touched my modded Switch in years, it's still running SX OS from back before Bowser got busted. I should make sure it still works.

This is what I'm wondering... Not much SX can do that AMS can't.

One and only feature that many still like to have - XCI USB loading. Still, Atmosphere works perfectly enough and, the most important thing, it's up to date and there's a great amount of homebrew apps that extend Switch functionality.
