How do I use Edizon ZE to get 99 of 1 item in TOTK?

I wanted to get like frogs to 99+ or whatever the max amount is. I have 5 frogs, I drop 2 of them so now I have 3. I did the u32 == Hemp search for it and nothing comes out. I also did a MAIN search. I also tried this for zonaites but I got the same result. It just doesn’t recognize a change.

I saw a comment on reddit saying that dropping doesn’t work? That you have to destroy or sell something. I tried but it still doesn’t work. Can someone confirm? How did it work for BOTW?

I built it on my own, but I can try one that you have identified that works, to test whether is my nsp or not. If so, could you share a link to get it please?

Thanks in advance,

Best regards
Try the one found in this thread.
@Draxzelex ,FAT32 i lost 80gb of games after the update,for example Megaman 11 only works with the base,if i install update&DLC it crashes and doesn't start,Tinwoo Installer installs them without problems,DBI check integrity doesn't give any error.
It sounds like the update and DLC you downloaded are bad. Try downloading them from a different source.
Playing Animal Crossing on a modded switch. Lots of mods and addons are being used for AC.

If I uninstall Animal Crossing, will I lose everything, or will all the mods and changes still be saved in the save games?

Thanks in advance.
Everything should be tied to the save data stored within your console so as long as that is intact, they shouldn't go away if you uninstall the game.
Thanks for the help yesterday! I was able to dump my games.

Is there a way to dump my save files from the Switch to import them to Ryujinx?
Use any homebrew save manager such as JKSV or Checkpoint.
Is there a noob proof guide to install DBI? Seems easier/quicker than ns usbloader, but i cant find very much info.
Why not try using TinWoo Installer instead. Its what I personally use and is easy to use. In fact, DBI was unable to install TOTK for me but TinWoo was able to install it.
Thanks for your response! Am i SOL if my v1 gets banned? Is there still a way to get my yuzu save onto my OLED in the event it does? I do understand that the ban risk is semi-negligible since I own a legitimate copy of the game and it's single player, but I wanted to see my options just in case.
If the hacked Switch ever gets banned, you will no longer be able to transfer save data to unmodded consoles anymore. So if it does get banned, you will no longer be able to transfer save data from Yuzu to your OLED unit unless you hack your OLED.
I'm very new to this switch (XAJ7). I got it years ago already modded. Received it with a RCM loader.

I tried turning it back on but it's just black screen.
RCM loader USB inserted with the jig slid down on the joycon right side. Holding down the Power and vol + buttons.
No response at all.
Not sure if RCM loader is broken? The white LED lights up when charged but no lights when plugged in to the switch or when button is pressed.

How to tell what is broken or not?
Am I still able to turn this on?

Thank you.
White seems to indicate that it is charging. If that is indeed the case, try letting it charge for a while before injecting another payload into your console.
i got few GBs left and downloaded a game using tinfoil pixel shop, didnt expect it would expand/extract and download is failed . cancel it off and deleted the game using the menu + .

QUESTION: what app can clean unused or corrupted files?
I've heard DBI has such a feature but I've personally never used nor needed it.

I charged it for about 20 minutes. The white light is just dimming in and out at normal speed. Guessing it's charging.
When I press the button or plug in, there's no lights.
Still can't turn on.

I charged the switch on the dock.
Using the original charger gave me 2 blinking green lights on the dock then nothing.
Using not original charger gave me 1 blinking green lights.
I don't know what that indicates.

Are there other methods I can try to see if the RCM loader is broken?

Thank you.

Is it possible to edit the amount of time played on specific games on your play activity screen using Linkalho? If so, how would you go about doing this?

Don't think you can actually edit the amount of playtime for a game under a profile in cfw.
Yeah I was hoping there would be a way to edit the fake account like how you can with the NXactivitylog's config but seems like that isn't the case.
I'd like to match my OFW accounts play activity for a few specific games on the fake one, and this is a pretty last-ditch attempt, but could there be a way to speed up idling time to quickly match the times rather than literally idling for hours?
Seems like quite a bit of effort I know hahaha, I would just really like to have some of the same play times as I had on my on Nintendo account and I would prefer having it on the play activity screen rather than using NXactivitylog

Its neither laminated nor does it have an air gap.
If the screen is not laminated, then it does have an air gap, however small it is, it exists. If there is no gap, then the screen is laminated. If there is no laminating adhesive between the touch and LCD there is an air gap. These are mutually exclusive. You either have a laminated screen with no air gap, or a unlaminated screen with an air gap.

Hello everyone... i just bought a v1 switch today, it was already on 16.0.3.
Tied my nintendo account to it, to put games on it, but now i want to mod it for overcloking purpose.
i don't want to crack games i just want to overclock the switch to play my games.
i'm a total newbie but made a lil research on switch modding.
i have a few questions about it
If i overclock the switch on the sysnand and play my game offline will i get banned when the verification occur?
can i just put a emunand and switch to sysnand when i want ? do my games can be played normally if i overclock my switch simply?

Use any homebrew save manager such as JKSV or Checkpoint.
Thanks Draxzelex. I tried running JKSV in Ryujinx and it crashes instantly because it doesn't implement the IApplicationManagerInterface request 0, which is nsListApplicationRecord in libnx. If I disable missing services, Ryujinx doesn't crash, but it shows no games. I'm "stuck" with Ryujinx because I'm running the emulator on an M1 Mac. Even then, looking at the source, Yuzu also doesn't implement ListApplicationRecord, so it looks like JKSV might not work on any emulator today (if I'm guessing right what nsListApplicationRecord does).

Checkpoint hangs forever before loading when I try to start it on Ryujinx. EdiZon crashes because of another missing service, and crashes if I try to ignore missing services too.

Are there other options that I can try?

This turns out to be very easy to do manually. Once you used any save manager on your Switch to back up your games, in Ryujinx, you can just right-click the title, choose "Open user save directory", and move your saves there. For instance, for Super Smash Bros., JKSV creates a directory at <sd card>/Super Smash Bros. Ultimate/<your save name>. In Ryujinx, you would right-click Super Smash Bros., choose "Open user save directory", and copy every file under <sd card>/Super Smash Bros. Ultimate/<your save name> to that directory.

hi guys, i have 2 modded switch, a V1 and a OLED with HWFly, i need to transfer the emuMMC data (such as user info, saves, homebrew titles and games), so i backup my emuMMC in the V1 with hekate, then i copied the backup in the OLED sd card and now i'm installing it in the sd (everything is done by hekate) and i was wondering:
nobody did this before ?
(spoiler it doesn't work so what i was thinking was right)

how can i do that ?

JKSV freezes whenever I try to Backup a New Save. This seems to have only appeared recently as an issue after updating everything for TotK release. Does anyone know how to fix this?

JKSV 02.23.2023
hekate 6.0.3
AMS 1.5.2 | E
Firmware 16.0.2

I've already tried running JKSV in both Applet and "Game" modes but it doesn't make a difference

Hey ! So i i installed TOTK on my switch yesterday, worked perfectly for like 12 hours and the game just suddenly crashed and now it's telling me there's some corrupted files.
I checked the integrity of the game with DBI and it's telling me there's a "Hash mismatch".
Any idea what i can do to fix my problem ? thanks

A green light seems to indicate that you are injecting ReiNX which is a defunct CFW. You want a blue light for Atmosphere or yellow/magenta/cyan for any of the user submitted payloads.
@Draxzelex ,i tried various sources including Tinfoil, always the same result.
Do you have any mods and/or cheats enabled for the games that are not working?
help! i think i broke the sd card of my cfw switch. is it possible to fix this without entering RCM, and i dont have backup file of my sd card file either. please enlighten me :(
What do you mean you broke the SD card? And what exactly are you hoping to fix?
If the screen is not laminated, then it does have an air gap, however small it is, it exists. If there is no gap, then the screen is laminated. If there is no laminating adhesive between the touch and LCD there is an air gap. These are mutually exclusive. You either have a laminated screen with no air gap, or a unlaminated screen with an air gap.
The digitizer, or touch screen, is not connected to the LCD screen. The digitizer itself is attached to the casing around the screen via adhesive so there is definitely an air gap as the touch screen and LCD are not fused or laminated.
Well

Going online after any usage CFW/homebrew can get you banned, even overclocking. If you never go online when using CFW/homebrew including overclocking, you will not get banned.

You were almost there. Everything you listed is still part of the proper procedure to transfer emuMMC stuff from one SD card to another. You just forgot that if any content was installed to the SD card, you would have to move the Nintendo folder that emuMMC used to the new card as well.

I had something similar happen to me when I tried installing the 1.1 update. The game would become corrupted and unable to play. The only way I resolved this was by uninstalling the update then reinstalling it from another source.

Hello i was thinking that jailbreaking the switch V2 (mariko) Is or Will be possibile by the dns settings, because we already have a dns browser but the switch cannot run things from It i think. I m a switch noob, so If im wrong, please do not insult me and if you want give me some explanations on why It cant be done because im really interested in these things, and another thing, Will the switch V2 be jailbreakable After they discontinued It? Or Will It be Forever moddable and not softmoddable??

The green light I got was the charging dock light.
I'm still not getting any lights from the RCM loader. Only when it's charging I get a breathing white light.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
