The prod.key file? I believe he's got it. How to retrieve the serial number back?
Thank you
Thank you
No, prod.keys is a generic key file full of keys that are shared across all Nintendo Switch consoles. What you need is PRODINFO which is full of console specific information such as the certificate used to grant access to Nintendo's online servers.
i need a refresher on hacked switches with sys- and emummc when it comes to the gamecard slot.
there's options to disable the card slot like nogc = 0 and autonogc=0
but what exactly was the point of that actually? i vaguely remember the gameslot could stop working when you tried to downgrade firmwares, but since waiting for a secret hack on low firmwares isn't really a thing anymore, you'd eventually wanna update the switch firmware like normal and everything works again, right?
i guess it could be an issue if sys and emunand aren't on the same firmware, but i also dont see a reason why you shouldn't update both when needed, since compatibility with atmo happens super fast these days too
is there anything I'm missing that i need to be aware of here?
emummc wasnt really a thing when i hacked my first switch, so i never used it before, but I've seen people be squeamish about using their original game carts in emummc. is there anything to be concerned about in regards to that?

Atmosphere was never running, I just saw the atmosphere splashscreen for a blink, and the screen went black.
Not for the updates that the system currently know it is available, did you set up exosphere after the switch notice the games update?
I've found this XAW....._PRODINFO.bin & XAW....._BISKEYS.bin files (real serial number) inside the atmosphere auto backup folder. Are they useful? If so, how can I retrieve the serial number back into the console?
Thanks.
Update: I tried the Incognito_RCM. Renamed the file and put it into the SD, but the app errors out "failed to read the file"

What file exactly did you rename and where on the SD card did you put it?
- You should follow this guide. Not only was it the first guide ever released but its been updated regularly as the scene progressed
- All bans occur due to going online with CFW/homebrew. If you never go online after using either, then you will not be banned
- This question doesn't make sense. emuMMC can only exist on the SD card while sysMMC can never exist on the SD card; sysMMC is your literal physical console. It cannot run anywhere else but on itself
- Is there a place where I can buy one of the 3D printed jigs mentioned in the guide? I do not feel confident in making my own, and I do not own a 3D printer.
- So if I keep my sysnand entirely clean and only use cfw/backups/homebrew on the emunand I can play online without the risk of a ban?
- Sorry, I had seen something along those lines mentioned in another thread I had read which confused me.
- No one is chatting at the moment.

Usually when such a big title leaks the Temp will be the first to report about it (going off of historical reports here, Pokemon SV being the latest one I can recall seeing pop up here) -

I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.

Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.

I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)

I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.

I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
