Hacking Backups are here!

[Bumblecito]

1) Get a title id of any game you have installed from http://switchbrew.org/index.php?title=Title_list/Games (this is your target titleid)
2) Create a directory on SD : sd:/atmosphere/titles/*target_titleid*
3) use hactool to extract the romfs.bin and exefs files from your main game nca (its in secure from XCI - the biggest one)
4) put romfs.bin in sd:/atmosphere/titles/*target_titleid*/romfs.bin, exefs files into sd:/atmosphere/titles/*target_titleid*/exefs/
5) Edit titleid in main.npdm (in exefs) to contain target title id (this might help http://switchbrew.org/index.php?title=NPDM)
6) run a fs_mitm containing CFW release, run your target app

Note that saves don't work for me atm, Simon claimed he made it work, so you might wanna wait for his way.
Minecraft works, others not tested.

This must be added to op

This should have been the first post.

Similar end result to Loadiine on the Wii U by the sounds of it.

This thread is a fucking roller-coaster ride and I love it!

I'll test the method, or at least I'm going to try and test it. More on it soon.

 

[Deleted member 191657]

So I was right. I have to test this.

Im sure we will get a homebrew app with interface and shit that will do all of that automagically and BOOM.

FUck TX OS

BBB Release or your own backup?

It is in TX's interest to release TXOS as soon as possible to minimise people requesting refunds.....

own backup, minecraft is not released on cart iirc, this is an eshop copy.

But is nintendo going to think i'm playing super one more jump or minecraft? Have you tested the online component of the games?

 

[Masacci0]

Is this a safe way? Does this messes with things that could warn nintendo with error logs?

 

[Darth Meteos]

So, it turned out TX was pre-empted after all. Wew lad

You managed to boot a OWNED game via another software, right? Still no use to booting .xci dumps?

So you purchased minecraft previously.? Maybe this is why it runs? Would it be possible to try it with something that was not purchased or downloaded in the past?

 

[Working_Goose]

can someone test it with a different game... like Zelda or Stardew Valley?

Do card games work?

While I definitely do own Minecraft for the Switch without a shadow of doubt, this was extracted from a copy downloaded using CDNX. You can also extract an XCI based game, it should work just fine.
Minecraft has never been installed on that console.

Made a thread btw: https://gbatemp.net/threads/backup-loading-using-hekate-ipl.507488/
