HOW TO UPDATE THE PACK AND UPDATE THE FIRMWARE

HOW TO UPDATE THE CONSOLE FIRMWARE

HOW TO SETUP THE SD CARD FROM SCRATCH

WHAT IS SYSMMC / EMUMMC / STOCK

  • STOCK is OFW. It is the actual factory firmware that comes from the factory
  • SEMI STOCK is OFW too but it bypasses the fuse count. It can run lower or higher firmware without any restriction from the fuse value ( you can read about this matter on https://switchbrew.org/wiki/Fuses)
  • SYSMMC is OFW with patches or CFW. You can run homebrews on it but do not install game backups on this world unless you know what you are doing and its consequences. It reflects the OFW/STOCK itself.
  • EMUMMC is the emulated SYSMMC. It copied itself from the OFW and placed inside the micro SD card, and it is always in the CFW method. It is unrelated to the STOCK/OFW/SYSMMC as it is a different entity after creation. You can install and run anything here, like game backups, homebrews, etc.

HOW TO USE THE PACK WISELY AND NOT GET BANNED

  • Do not install game backups or run Tinfoil on the SYSMMC, as it reflects the OFW. If you accidentally installed those stuff, please do the SYSTEMWIPE immediately: https://youtu.be/n6xEakq3n58
  • Install game backups and others under the EMUMMC mode
  • You can connect the SYSMMC and the EMUMMC to the internet as the exosphere.ini hides the console’s serial number on all CFW modes
  • To connect the SYSMMC to the e-shop or the Big N server, you must edit the exosphere.ini file and alter the blank_prodinfo_sysmmc=1 to blank_prodinfo_sysmmc=0. Make sure you know what you are doing and know the consequences of doing this.
  • Do not use cheats on online games (like the splatoon 3)

HOW TO BOOT TO SEMI-OFW AND ANY CFW FROM HEKATE

To boot to any CFW mode, please follow this guide

HOW TO BOOT TO THE REAL STOCK (OFW) FROM HEKATE

ERROR 2023-0011 , 2137-8007 , 2155-8007 SOLUTION

  

The HATS pack hides the console’s serial number on all CFW modes and blocks all Nintendo servers with DNS Mitm method. That is why if you launched the sysMMC or the emuMMC and tried to connect the console to eshop or update the games online or try to log-in, you will see this error code. To solve this issue, please boot to the OFW mode https://codeberg.org/sthetix/HATS#how-to-boot-to-the-real-stock-ofw-from-hekate

HOW TO CONNECT THE CONSOLE TO THE NINTENDO SERVER WHILE RUNNING THE CFW MODE

As mentioned, the HATS pack hides the console’s serial number on all CFW modes and DNS Mitm method to prevent your console from getting banned online if you accidentally / unintentionally installed pirated or illegal apps/games. However, to connect the CFW modes to the Nintendo server, you must edit the exosphere.ini at the root of the SD card with a notepad. Use this guide responsibly as it will expose your console for a possible ban.

To connect the sysMMC to the Nintendo server, please edit

blank_prodinfo_sysmmc=1 to blank_prodinfo_sysmmc=0

To connect the emuMMC to the Nintendo server, please edit

blank_prodinfo_emummc=1 to blank_prodinfo_emummc=0

To disable the DNS Mitm protection, please open the system_settings.ini file inside the Atmosphere/Config folder and comment out these lines : (add ; in front of the line)

enable_dns_mitm = u8!0x1 to ; enable_dns_mitm = u8!0x1

add_defaults_to_dns_hosts = u8!0x1 to ; add_defaults_to_dns_hosts = u8!0x1
