Major Changes:

  • Completely revamped .nxcfw to remove outdated information regarding custom firmwares that are no longer being updated. This command is now used to talk about the dangers of all-in-one packs (since the information is relatively similar).
  • Updated the newver command to include a disclaimer about the primary developer of Atmosphere retiring potentially causing longer wait times for Atmosphere updates.
  • Updated the stock command to mention patched Erista/Mariko users must install a modchip as there will be no software exploit on system versions 5.0.0 and above.

Minor Changes:

  • Updated the NX downgrade command to include a warning about a ban risk when trying to connect to Nintendo servers.
  • Updated format_map in both assistanceswitch.py and mdcmd.py to refer to the latest versions of Atmosphere, Hekate, and Horizon OS.

Most information provided in this command was already outdated given
that every custom firmware mentioned is no longer in development and
does not work on the latest firmware. AIO packs and Atmosphere forks are
the new (just as dangerous) versions of nxcfw which is why this
command is now meant to advise against obtaining Atmosphere from
anywhere except the official Github page.

The current information within the command is just a modified version of
what was said for Kosmos as Kosmos was always just an AIO pack for
Atmosphere. More information may be added in the future depending on our
needs, especially with the fear of HOS 22.0.0 coming up.
Since the primary maintainer of Atmosphere has retired, updates to the
CFW after a system update are expected to take a significantly longer
amount of time. This change is designed to provide the latest
information regarding this.

Do note that this command should be updated again once a new version of HOS
comes out that brings major changes (most likely 22.0.0).
