Switch: SciresM shows homebrew running on 5.0.1, shares progress on Atmosphere
Hacker SciresM has shared progress on the upcoming Custom Firmware for the Nintendo Switch, Atmosphere.
In one of his recent tweets, the developer showcases the Homebrew Loader running on firmware 5.0.1, and runs a hello world from the loader’s menu. It appears SciresM got Atmosphere to load the “vulnerable” version of the module that was used for the 3.0.0 exploits.
Atmosphere is making visible progress almost on a daily basis right now, with SciresM stating recently that Homebrew should soon be “in a great place”.
The switch scene has been looking forward to a stable release of the upcoming CFW, since the day the Nintendo switch was fully hacked a few weeks ago. SciresM has previously said Atmosphere will be usable for end users by Summer this year.
As a reminder, Atmosphere is open source and anyone can give it a try by downloading the source on the project’s github.

Yay!
Does anyone know more or less when the approximate ‘time limit’ to get a Switch that can still use the CW will be? I wanted to get one, but I’m broke until I get a job this summer and I don’t know if they will all have been replaced by the ‘hackproof’ ones by then D:
I would also like to know this, I’m waiting for my credit cards to arrive (because it’s silly to buy one right off the bat with my current economy, I’d rather get a little debt) so I can slam them with a Switch purchase
If Nintendo is smart they will make the change quietly without saying anything. So I wouldn’t count on any kind of announcement. At best you’ll see an announcement on this site that Switches with slightly different serial numbers are appearing in stores. Then it will be a rush to buy the old switches before they’re completely sold out, probably in a week or two.
Buy it as soon as you can, good news is that there are zero reports of the new revision being released.
Hahaha, fantastic! Thank you Nintendo for your garbage security. While others have to pay a fee for basic features like save backups, we can do it for free. Morons at Nintendo driving people to hack.
Its funny, its actually really not Nintendo’s fault because the Tegra chip is exploitable. Blame it on Nvidia 😛
It was up to Nintendo to decide to use their chip though, the tegra exploit is a fantastic gift.
Dude, chill.
You act like you’re enraged with Nintendo, and you did nothing for the scene besides leeching on other people work.
The hackers working on CFW aren’t having this childish behavior towards Nintendo, so neither should you.
You are also just leeching, get off your high horse idiot. I’ll comment whatever I want to, don’t cry about it.
I know, right? Like why can’t people just let us be ***hats on the net without the need to try and edify us with practical etiquette and correct information.
I know I’m a leech and don’t have any right to complain, but gosh darn it, I have a keyboard and a need to express myself and be acknowledged in the most anonymous manner I can.
😉
Dude, chill.
He’s making fun of Nintendo for their idiotic business practices, nothing wrong with that, they deserve it.
But this is the same practice that have MS and Sony for almost decade and it’s 3 times cheaper. I wouldn’t pay a dollar if it was at the same price as Gold or PS+ cos of HORRIBLE social net in Switch though. Adding friends through friend codes or using voice chat through the phone app is as bad as it can be…
Last…. I really love this website but the comments under the articles are the worst.
But back to Topic:
This is awesome. Cant wait to see more. I remember he talked about a bootable version soon (few weeks). I am excited!
You’re comment is the worst.
Your comment is the worst

hello. is it safe to apply the exploit and install the CFW then update the system to the latest OFW? how does this work? i would like to play a game, but want the game to be fully updated. so either i need it to be safe to exploit and update, or maybe a way to update the game without updating the system.
hopefully someone will comment this for me. anyone?
You can’t do anything yet, wait for a proper release this summer.
alrighty. thank you!
There’s only a few homebrew that are compatible with 5.x. Libnx needs to be updated in order for homebrew to work on firmwares higher than 3.0. Give it like a week and it’ll be good to go

Admin or Mod – how do I mark this message as trash to be removed? It’s not on topic, it’s advertising, and the thing it advertises is probably illegal and 100% is a scam.
Thanks
P.S. and MatthewDoeby person – you should have higher standards than that….
How did this comment stay up??
Working on 5.0.2. But duke nukem doesnt work 🙁
so should we be staying on 3.0.0 anymore?
will atmosphere be any easier to install on 3.0.0 vs any other firmware?
Stay on 3.0.0, you’ll get a softmod option before anyone else.
yeah but i cant use my 200 gb sd card on 3.0.0 🙁 lol 1st world prob i know
im sure i could just format as fat32 but 4gb limitation
This is false. The x1 exploit is not dependent on any version as it uses the recovery mode of the chip to run the code. At this point it does not matter what ofw version you have
Will Atmosphere CFW be usable on 5.0.2 Also? Just yesterday I was on 4.0.1 and I let my Cousin play mario odyssey and told him not to turn off airplane mode, Long story short He did and updated it to 5.0.2.
yes

Change your sd card to SDHC if you don’t want to update. But seeing as you are already on 5.0.2, you might as well do the sd card update
