Is it before you installed any pirated game?
Hi, my sd card is having some issue so planning to format it and do a clean install. If i restore the previous nand backup that i backed up before any games, then transfer all my files back to the newly formatted card, will i lost my games saves?

Yes, backup your save
Im having trouble to boot to CFW as my emummc hidden partition seems like corrupted. I only able to copy all the files to pc, is there a way to backup the game saves from the files that i copied?

By the way, previously my setup was triple boot (cfw, android ,L4T) it works fine until I downloaded gparted on L4T, then when i open the app, there is a prompt to fix something about the partition. And this happened 😭😭 anyway to fix this?

I don't really have experience with l4t or android on the switch, seem like you mess up your hidden partition sx os emunand.

I manage to fix this. I check the file system, gparted converted my sd to GPT thats why hekate does not recognise the emummc hidden partition.

My fix:-
On Hekate, go to Tools> Partition SD Card> Fix Hybrid MBR

That’s it. Once converted from GPT back to MBR, everything works like normal

I just got this error an tried everything to fix it. I finally opened it up and discovered that the SD reader board cable was not fully seated. snapped it back in and stuck a new piece of foam on top and everything is working perfectly again.

    @BigOnYa well, starting with, idk which emulator should i use for switch, i got a gtx 1650, do you know which one would it better for my pc?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    The switch emulators on pc rely on your CPU mostly, and they only use a single core, so GPU not as important as a good CPU. I don't use switch emulator, but many here do, and willing to help.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @K3Nv2 do you want to chime in, don't you use yuzu or ryujinx? Which do you prefer?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Morganna I'd say try them both, and see which work better for your setup, good luck, and have fun!
  • Morganna @ Morganna:
    i tried just yuzu so far, not even played, just open the game to see if it run
