As usual, SciresM made good on his promise 2 days ago to get Atmosphere running on FW 11.0.0 as soon as possible due to the firmware breaking support for the CFW. In this article, we’re going to look at the release of Atmosphere 0.16.0 which comes with support for the latest Switch firmware, improved support for Mariko units & more!
The primary reason why Atmosphere 0.16.0 was released is to add support for Firmware 11.0.0 which was released earlier this week but the update packs in some more stuff. Going through its change log, Atmosphere 0.16.0 brings along:
Support for firmware 11.0.0 by updating various parts of the Atmosphere CFW
Any homebrew that uses the ‘usb:ds’ service will be broken on FW 11.0.0 and needs to be recompiled using the latest version of libnx
The Switch v2 & Switch Lite are now better supported in Atmosphere but this support is still incomplete
The ‘boot’ sysmodule, Daybreak and boot0 protection/management logic now works properly on such units
There are still some issues when running Atmosphere on such units such as wake-from-sleep not working well
The only public way to run any form of hacked firmware on the Switch v2 & Lite is by installing a modchip namely the ill-fated SX Core or SX Lite which require soldering and have faced numerous legal challenges
The ‘boot’ sysmodule was updated and support for configuring address space width in hbl was added
Some other stuff including the fixing of minor issues in filesystem code and a bug that could cause NCM to abort on consoles that shipped with FW 3.0.x and weren’t updated
