Atmosphere 0.8.5 New Features
The most important update is the Cheat functionality, it's a system module which uses a format compatible with SX OS's cheats while also bug fixing and improving it. The implementation is fully documented in the repo and users are recommended to read through it to get a better understanding on how to use it.The Cheat module also supports interfacing itself with homebrew apps and, if you're a developer and want to make use of it, you may want to read Atmosphère's accompanying dmnt sysmodule documentation aswell.
Besides the Cheat feature, 0.8.5 ATM also includes Per-title content override key combinations, better support for hekate, support for cheat codes (full backwards compatibility with existing codes + bugfixes + new features)...
- Support was added for overriding content on a per-title basis, separate from HBL override.
- This allows for using mods on the same title that one uses to launch HBL.
- By default, !L is used for title content override (this is configurable by editing default_config!override_key in loader.ini)
- This key combination can be set on a per-title basis by creating a atmosphere/titles/<title id>/config.ini, and editing override_config!override_key.
- Content headers were added for the embedded files inside of fusee-secondary.
- This will allow non-fusee bootloaders (like hekate) to extract the components bundled inside release binaries.
- This should greatly simplify the update process in the future, for users who do not launch Atmosphère using fusee.
- Support for cheat codes was added.
- These are handled by a new dmnt sysmodule, which will also reimplement Nintendo's Debug Monitor in the future.
- Cheat codes can be enabled/disabled at application launch via a per-title key combination.
- For details, please see the cheat loading documentation.
- Cheat codes are fully backwards compatible with the pre-existing format, although a number of bugs have been fixed and some new features have been added.
- For details, please see the compatibility documentation.
- An HIPC service API was added (dmnt:cht), that will allow user homebrew to interface with and control Atmosphère's cheat manager.
- Please see the relevant documentation.
- Full client code can be found in libstratosphere.
- Users interested in interfacing should see EdiZon, which should have support for interfacing with Atmosphère's API shortly after 0.8.5 releases.
- A bug was fixed that would cause Atmosphère's fatal screen to not show on 1.0.0-2.3.0.
- A bug was fixed that caused Atmosphère's automatic ProdInfo backups to be corrupt.
- General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.

Reasons why SX OS is still better than Atmosphere 0.8.5
The Switch SX OS CFW is still the Only custom firmeare supports XCI rom loading and Emunand, Atmophere 0.8.5 and any other CFWs can't support the 2 major functions which will benefit users a lot. The simple download, plug and play way to play free Switch games is the Top 1 reason you should install SX OS not other Switch CFWs. It's easy setup and usage is suitable to any Switch console owner, a kid, a newbie or a lazygamer.On the other hand, cause Atmosphere is free to everyone, at the current time, when SX OS 2.5.3 still doesn't support Switch 7.0.x firmware, you can shortly install ATM onto your console. In this situation, you will need another Switch payload injector, like a R4s dongle or a NS-Atmosphere dongle, by using each of them, you can install Atmoshphere 0.8.5 easily on your Switch to play homebrews and .NSP games.
