Here is the best way to set-up Atmosphere from scratch - you can then boot using either the Hekate or fusee-primary payloads.

• Download latest Hekate; https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate/releases
• Extract "bootloader" folder to SD card
• Inject Hekate bin payload

If you have not yet made a NAND backup, follow this guide first!

Create emuMMC partition:

• In Hekate, select "Tools"
• Select Archive bit * AutoRCM * Touch Tuning
• Select Partition SD Card
• Drag slider for emuMMC (RAW) so it's 29GB then Next Step
• Select Start, wait then tap OK and close

Create emuMMC:

• In Hekate, tap emuMMC
• Select Create emuMMC
• Select SD Partition
• Select Part 1, wait then select Close when done
• emuMMC info should show enabled, if not change emuMMC to SD RAW1

Install Atmosphere: https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases

• Download and extract the latest Atmosphere folders to the SD (delete any older versions of the "Atmosphere" and "sept" folders if they exist)
• Install sigpatches for fusee-primary https://gbatemp.net/threads/sigpatches-for-atmosphere-fusee-primary-only.567542/
• Download the latest fusee-primary.bin and place it in SD:/bootloader/payloads
• Create a file named hekate_ipl.ini in the SD:/bootloader folder
• Add the following text to hekate_ipl.ini;

autoboot=1
autoboot_list=0
bootwait=3
verification=1
backlight=100
autohosoff=0
autonogc=1

{------- Launch -------}
[Atmosphere]
payload=bootloader/payloads/fusee-primary.bin
icon=bootloader/res/icon_atmosphere.bmp

[Horizon]
fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin
stock=1
icon=bootloader/res/icon_horizon.bmp

(Optional) Replace reboot-payload with Hekate:

• Delete the file SD:/Atmosphere/reboot_payload.bin
• Copy the Hekate bin payload to SD:/Atmosphere and rename it to reboot_payload.bin
