OK GUYS.
Just received lu v1 Switch.
The version is 13.1.0.
How to find a good guide to hack it ?
Thanks !

This is a good guide on hacking the switch.
https://switch.homebrew.guide/

Also, VERY important to make sure that your delete the wifi settings and place the switch in flight mode BEFORE creating the emunand. (just remove all the wifi settings info before attempting the hack)
That way the emunand will not try to connect to the internet to nintendo's servers and get you banned,
Keep sysnand clean and you can play online

Hey boys.
Everything went well !

I could install Atmosphere on my switch with my PC. I can see it through the parameters menu.
Is it dangerous now to connect on my wifi while on CFW to install Homebrews ?

I have not linked any Nintendo account since I received my Switch. Just created a profile.
I DO NOT WANT to play online. Just want to know if I can connect to the internet while on CFW through wifi.

Thanks !

I heard that the switch sends info to the Nintendo servers when it connects online. Did you create an emunand partition?

Keep emunand offline, To install
stuff on emunand, you can copy the stuff over via microSD card, or use tinfoil to install over USB connection.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
