Rekado VS Atmosphere

When using with your phone, you often need a USB OTG adapter. If you're using Android, I'm assuming you're using Rekado. Here's an excerpt from their GitHub page about this:

RCM Loader is not worth of your money, I suggest you to buy an adapter for your phone, installing Rekado and connect your phone with adapter with your Switch. You need something like this, Adattatore USB-C a USB-A 3.0 OTG, USB Femmina a USB-C Maschio Compatibile con MacBook Pro, Samsung Galaxy, Telefoni di Tipo-C, Tablet e Altro (Nero e Bianco) https://amzn.eu/d/eKTem8B). Be sure that it can transfer files and you save 25-30 bucks. For the jig, I bought on Amazon, idk if you can buy it from here. I heard of some people that "handcrafted" their jig with hairpins, idk if works, you should try

Yes, theres an app https://github.com/MenosGrante/Rekado/releases

Some advice for after you've booted into custom firmware and got it all set up: consider using AutoRCM. It corrupts a single byte in the Switch's bootloader which causes it to boot automatically into RCM after every power cycle, eliminating the need for an RCM jig entirely after the first use. All you need to do then is inject your chosen payload using Rekado (if on Android), or iOUSB (if on iOS).

If you have android phone you can use that use the app called rekado that's what I use https://github.com/MenosGrante/Rekado/releases

After looking into how Atmosphere boots by looking for a reboot_payload.bin which you can have as ANY payload file (mine is Hekate) I've not needed to inject it by hand in a long time. And if I do ever need to I do it with my phone even using Rekado

The Nintendo Switch is a great console for sideloading. There are numerous ports of PC titles like Quake and Half-Life, as well as a library of Homebrew games and modding tools. If you've got an original Nintendo Switch there's practically no excuse not to crack it, unless you intend to play online.

Same goes for the 3DS, too. You can now play Virtual Boy games using the built-in 3D screen, which enables preservation of Nintendo's darkest age (with or without their approval). I have soft-modded versions of both the Switch and 3DS, and recommend it to anyone that wants that experience.

If you want an Xbox or Playstation console, buy the SOC from AMD. They sell them on Alibaba and get the same support Microsoft and Sony recieve (read: dogshit). Most people would agree that it's wiser to not use console hardware for PC software when you can build a superior machine for a lower price. But hey, if you wanna waste time and money be my guest.

Official Atmosphere documentation on Exosphere states:

SOLVED, I needed to use this pre-release version of atmosphere. https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases/tag/1.5.4

This might be a good source https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases

Not yet, but there is an Atmosphere feature request for it.
