Hi, just a quick question, yesterday I accidentally connected my dirty emunand to internet by forgetting to remove my lan cable of my dock, I quickly realized my mistake and unplugged the lan cable, I don't even think it got the time to actually connect to internet since I have unplugged it a second after placing the switch to the dock but for the purpose of the question we will assume that it actually connected to internet.

Here is how I have set up my emunand

90dns on the lan cable
Incognito (serial : XAW0000000....)
Lan connection on manual instead of Automatic

I didn't used dns.mitm since this set up is really old and it was not even a thing when I created the emunand.

Assuming that it connected to internet, should I be safe with the 3 points mentioned above or if I risk something ?
Do incognito alone is enough to avoid getting banned if by any chance 90dns failed in some way or an other ?

Thanks for your reading.

Should be fine since you have XAW000000000

A person was still banned after using Haku33 so it is definitely not foolproof.

There's a third option which is better than both and that is TinWoo Installer. Its what I personally use and I never have any issues while using it. Also Hekate doesn't come with patches because they are technically associated with piracy. You have to download them separately which you can do from this thread.

Alright, does installing patches make me more vulnerable? I have done everything the homebrew said about partition and backup to avoid the ban, so I would love to have the safest option

You would need a clean NAND to avoid ban, that why Haku33 doesn't work, it is not clean NAND.

I only seem to update my hacked switch roughly once a year, and of course I forget what all I need to update. I know I need to update Atmosphere and probably the sigpatches and firmware via daybreak. I have also have DNS blocking active. What is the easiest way to update or at least a link to a page that has the steps to do it.

Sorry I was not the person with the NAND problem, my question was related to sigpatches and TinWoo, if they make my switch more vulnerable in any way and/or if I have to take precautions in any way.

I have another question: I have purchased with my nintendo account a couple switch games, then hacked the switch. I dispose of another switch that's not hacked. Should I delete the nintendo account from the hacked switch and add it there? So far I havent been banned, was wondering if the ban affects the nintendo account as well

Not anymore than merely running CFW or homebrew.
Thanks!

Updating Atmosphere is as simple as deleting the old /atmosphere folder then putting the new one on the SD card. Patches are the same process although you can overwrite the old patches folder for the time being. Firmware is probably the trickiest part not because the procedure is complicated since Daybreak is relatively simple to use but it involves downloading the firmware files from an external source. And since they are copyrighted files, links cannot be shared on this forum. But rest assured that dumps of all of the firmware files are readily available on the Internet.

Please read my reply to the user above. Also, the order doesn't particularly matter as long as you update everything but a foolproof order is always CFW before firmware. The reason being is that newer versions of CFW will always work on older firmware versions but newer firmware versions may not compatible with older versions of CFW.

Bans rarely affect Nintendo Accounts. Typically, that only occurs due to other types of activities such as credit card fraud and not hacking.

I will go piece by piece I have a 3.0.0 Switch untouch since years. It has Atmosphere under 1 version, Hekate 4 or 5 emunand I don´t remember the version. It has no wifi configured, When I turn the switch on I see reswitch that I used to launch hekate, without wifi and dns is not working.

What should I do, there is something new interesting related to 3.0.0, how I update atmospher hekate and the emunad.
Thanks.

Ahoy - I wanted to install a mod for a game, it's in exefs/.ips format.

I have no idea where to put it. Any tips for that? I don't know if I need another application or such for that either.

check this out: https://rentry.co/SwitchHackingIsEasy

since you are on 3.0.0 I imagine your Atmosphere is super low somhere are the steps to move past AMS 1.0.0

https://rentry.org/MigrateToAtmosphere1_0_0

Ater that you can follow the rest of the guide as normal.

which mod is it?

Typically they go in /atmosphere/contents/<titleID> /
…and then:
- exefs
- romfs
- romfs_ext

How are you attempting to do this and what errors 0r symptoms are you seeing?

Are you using Hekate/UMS or FTPD or pulling the sdcard out of the switch?

What is telling Tinfoil that something is "incomplete"? For example I have all of the Dead Cells DLCs installed and it even says so in the game itself but Tinfoil is still thinking one is missing. Any way to fix it or should I just ignore it?

Edit: Ah I get it. It says the DLC file is missing but in reality there was an update for the DLC so the version isn't correct. It probably should say UPD instead of DLC but the install screen of the games shows in detail what is installed and what is the latest version.

My Sys base is 3.0.0 Clean

Yes I remembered a bit more I was on Atmosphere under 1.0.0 maybe 0.8 or 0.9 I installed all the things using Kosmo 14.X

I launch hekate using Cafeine and reswitch with custom DNS on the switch.

I Think that I only have to migrate to Atmosphere 1.4.0 and update al the bins but the way to launch RCM remains the same.

Should plug right in to the bottom of your Switch w/ no problem. This thing looks like it probably has similar guts as what is inside the Dock. No official dock needed unless you like the look of Ninty’s dock.

Yes, you could absolutely upgrade just the emunand Atmosphere and test that it still boots. Once that’s done you can look for that Darthsternie Firmware site and u-date emunand FW to 15.0.1 and leave everything else the same.

What d0 you mean frozen? Hekate is unresponsive?

Please post your /bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini file.

Yeah…doesn’t seem right at all. I‘m thinking something in your hekate_ipl.ini file ia somehow jamming things up. Might want to move/rename the /bootloader directory to /bootloader.bk and the unzipping the latest Hekate.x.x.x.zip file to the top level,of your SDCard just to start from a clean slate. We would have make a .bk Backuo so you can roll back at any time.

  • 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!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
