Hacking Backups are here!

[Creatable]

Backups are now a thing!
So here's a tutorial that should make it more user friendly.

1.) Download this script.
2.) Install Python 2.7 if you do not have Python 2.7, and get hactool from SciresM's GitHub, then put the Python script in the same directory.
3.) Run the script by double clicking on it.
4.) Type the title ID for the game you want to replace.
5.) Click "Select XCI" and select the XCI dump of the game you want to use.
6.) Click "Automate it" and wait until the button seems to be unpressed.
7.) Copy the Atmosphere directory to your SD card.
(OPTIONAL)
8.) Merge the Atmosphere directory with the one already existing on your SD.

Now, boot your Switch into ROMFS! If you don't have this option, go to SimonMKWii's Discord and he will provide the files you need for your SD in #tutorial.

Python script by ChainedHope! Here's a link to the OP in which the script came from.

What releases???

With the new releases that came today, we can patch any game with another game. Backup loading is here, and has been tested. Fuck you Xecuter lmao.

What. WHAt. WHAT. HOW. Explain. Even if not a step by step tutorial explain please.

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works

Please explain yourself.

All this information in this thread about how and where and why is just overwhelming. Can't read so fast. /sarcasm

Please tell me this is not another troll thread...

LayeredFS allows backup loading! Even with cartridge dumps!

 

[Thetoto]

Please explain, unless, this thread is useless...

 

[lembi2001]

No it doesn't, it allows game modifications

Yes but HOW. We can't just replace exefs and romfs, pretty sure we also need stuff such as exheader or the switch equivalent of it unless i'm completely wrong

Where do you see that ?

It does, SimonMKWii has tested it, and loaded a game over Odyssey.

 

[MichiS97]

OP is probably talking about LayeredFS. Which, of course, CANNOT be used to "patch any game with another game"

 

[Deleted member 373223]

It does, SimonMKWii has tested it, and loaded a game over Odyssey.

Again. HOW

 

[MHDestination]

At it's current state. LayeredFS allows romfs redirection.
But not exefs.

You can't load binaries of a different game that way.

Video? Source?

Atm we just have ExeFS so we cant launch a shit , you would need to write an custom fs and also disable the sig patches first so yeah
