Getting "Failed to commit content records" error when installing games on Tinfoil.

I've got a 1.5tb sd card with 300gb of storage left, everything is up to date, and I even tried reinstalling everything.
Not sure what's causing this issue, any help would be appreciated. Last time I asked about it here my post was deleted without a reason, so I hope the same thing doesn't happen again.

When a game is installed it seems to work fine until I completely reboot the system, which causes it to show an update needing to be installed that doesn't exist.

Hey lovely people. It appears I'm in a sticky situation and need some help.



I followed this guide and when it came to this part I went back to my switch and my PC is saying No RCM device detected. I have tried various resets, I have done the Zadig driver thing , tried various cables , PC's / laptops and I don't know what to do.

My switch has a blank screen and I desperately needs some help. Can you guys assist me please. It is a V1 switch

Extra Info. I panicked and thought perhaps my SD card got corrupted so I formatted it and put the files back onto it but still the same

Is there a way to see which patches are loaded from atmosphere/exefs_patches?

I downloaded the patch for Mario35 and am not sure how to check that it's working.
Running Mario 35th anniversary.

Could it be that it's stuck in RCM mode? Try holding power button for about 20 sec or so and release it afterwards. Your Switch will be powered down. Then you can try getting into RCM again.

Can I safely update my sysNAND to the latest version (18?) through the pop up and continue using my emuNAND which is on a lower firmware?
As far as I'm aware of both Hekate and Atmosphere have support for 18.0.0 so I don't think there should be a problem down the road, but wait for someone else to confirm as well. I personally keep my sysNAND firmware the lowest possible on my hacked Switches.

Thank you, I will await further confirmation.

Hello! I am a programmer and I want to mod a game (Unicorn Overlord) to disable a single UI element, hopefully it's not something too complicated.

I have no idea where to start though. All the info I find is for using romhacks, not making them. Can someone give me the slightest hint?

Thanks

Hello,

That's literally the whole point of emuMMC. Well, kind of but in reverse because the purpose of emuMMC is for it to be on the latest firmware instead of sysMMC but the same logic applies; sysMMC and emuMMC operate independently of one another. They can be on totally different firmware versions because they act like separate consoles with the only similarity being the hardware that they share. Although personally I don't see any reason in updating to firmware 18.0 as no content requires it aside from online play.

Hey everyone, I have an OLED Switch with a modchip on Firmware 18.0 with the latest versions of Hekate & Atmosphere + Tesla Menu installed.

I recently installed Studios Pancakes to quickly switch between my firmwares (Hekate, EMUMMC, SYSMMC) so from atmosphere to Switchroot (Android 11). My question is how do I achieve the same menu in Switchroot (android 11) so i can easily switch to another firmware without having to use the power button to restart the console, boot into Hekate and choose my firmware from there?

This guy, right?

What steps are you taking and what works/doesn’t work along the way?



So far no issues. Everything plays like normal.

What games are we talking about? Trying to ascertain whether these are ports or straight up homebrew.


Hey following up on the Noexes sysmodule, how do i remove it? Besides the OVI file anything else on the SD Card that i need to delete?

In the txt file for configuring DNS MITM there are the following:

127.0.0.1 *nintendo.*
127.0.0.1 *nintendo-europe.com
127.0.0.1 *nintendoswitch.*
95.216.149.205 *conntest.nintendowifi.net
95.216.149.205 *ctest.cdn.nintendo.net

Can someone explain what the benefit of using 95.216.149.205 (LavaDNS?) vs 127.0.0.1 (loopback) would be for the last two? If any. Wouldn't it be better to set them all to loopback?

Those are needed for the connection tests to work. That's the last screen you see when you set up a WiFi connection through the console settings, where it checks if the connection is working, and loopback won't be enough for that, it has to connect and get a reply back. Otherwise you can't finish setting up a WiFi properly.

Isn't the ctest sigpatch (or when it's patched from sys-patch) supposed to remedy that though? Skip the connection test?

I didn't know about that. So I looked into it a bit more, and certainly seems you are right. If so, one would assume there's no need for those two DNS MITM entries, but probably doesn't hurt to have them as a fallback.

  • 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!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol

    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
