how to change how you launch hbmenu and games on atmosphere on your Switch

I just added a page to my website about how to deal with atmosphere's configs and how to change how you launch hbmenu and games.
from http://bmx3r.com/nintendo/atmosphere.html





This is the default loader.ini config in /atmosphere/

Code:
[hbl_config]
title_id=010000000000100D
override_any_app=true
path=atmosphere/hbl.nsp
override_key=R

[default_config]
override_key=!L
cheat_enable_key=!L


I started with atmosphere 0.8.3 that I normally tap on album icon to open my hbmenu and tap on games to open games. When I updated to 0.8.5, I open my album to see my own gallery of pics like in OFW. I read thru change logs on the github. I had to press R to open hbmenu from my album. I open games to see hbmenu. I would have to press R to open one of games to game.

I decided to make it abit easier by editng my loader.ini I added ! before R in this line override_key=R making this line to be override_key=!R

next thing, when I open one of my games, it go to hbmenu. I figured out that it will help me to get full RAM for retroarch or other homebrew apps. I decided to leave it to true because I run retroarch.

I know some people do not need full RAM. if you do not need full RAM, you can change this line override_any_app=true to override_any_app=false so you do not have to hold R when opening your game.


My own loader.ini here


Code:
[hbl_config]
title_id=010000000000100D
override_any_app=true
path=atmosphere/hbl.nsp
override_key=!R

[default_config]
override_key=!L
cheat_enable_key=!L



Custom Boot Screens

I read thru gbatemp and found out that people are able to make custom boot splash screen. very cool!

The custom boot splash screen have to be 1280 x 720 and rotated 90 counterwise. It can be done easily in photoshop and saved as a bmp in 32bit.

More of the splash screens and more of my made ones too.
Atmosphere Splashes

I add this line to BCT.ini in /atmosphere/ on my sd card. then I put bootlogo.bmp in the atomosphere folder.

[stage2]
custom_splash = atmosphere/bootlogo.bmp

Here is my custom boot splash screen
splash3.png


My own BCT.ini here


Code:
BCT0
[stage1]
stage2_path = atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin
stage2_addr = 0xF0000000
stage2_entrypoint = 0xF0000000

[stage2]
custom_splash = atmosphere/bootlogo.bmp

[exosphere]
; Note: Disabling debugmode will cause parts of ams.tma to not work, in the future.
debugmode = 1
debugmode_user = 0

[stratosphere]
; To force-enable nogc, add nogc = 1
; To force-disable nogc, add nogc = 0
